Leave your hope for truth, in the hands of faith,
Let it lead the way.
None of us is whole, madness shapes our fate,
We’re the ones to blame.
The thinking mind is singled out.
The fool is royalty and
Never will let you evolve.
Our laments echo silent, hidden to their eyes.
The wordless ghost of mankind
Tongueless criticize.
The masses voice is silent
Lost within our walls.
They’re waiting for a mistake
To provide our fall.
Spirit of the water, let the sky fall down on me,
Suffocate the fires lit to harm.
Hear the prayers calling and embrace our fallen sons,
Heal the open wound that bleeds the earth.
Shepherd of the elite, guiding light of vain,
Idol of its prey.
Give your servants hope while they beg for change
And so they’ll obey…
We are made for dreaming, for wandering the earth
For what we have is all we need.
Framed inside a system
Made to praise the tame,
A leash to keep our will restrained
Drowning in the shadow, of the wonders we have built.
We are,
The ashes and the seeds
Spirit of the water, let the rain pour down on me.
We know,
Our essence is the key.
Spirit of the water,let the sky fall down on me,
Suffocate the fires lit to harm.
Hear the prayers calling and embrace our fallen sons
Heal the open wound that bleeds the earth

There must be something in the Swedish air. Those lands have constantly been churning out exceptional bands one after the other .
Do you like Beardfish?
Seriously!
Yes.... The nordic (positiv) Melancholic Music. Specially the Swedish... And the Bands from Norway too.
I think has to do with the collective conciousness of musician there, something beyond mind, maybe.
It's called having a functioning society
Never expected to see man butts on a Soen video.
That is why life is always an adventure.
hahaha
Actual bandmembers
lmao
Brilliant! Absolutely agree =D
This is a gay video
It's just amazing. It's very much bigger than only music to do, it's empathy, something rare to find in the world at this level.
This was my coming out song to my father....
He loved the music
the only part he did appreciate
Really you made him listen to a song?
@@behindthen0thing525 nah...
its just that music is the thing we bond over, so I just showed him some cool new music and he showed me some, and at this song I just had to tell him...
Thats all...
yo whoever you are im so proud of you for coming out! that shit is scary as hell so glad you got to tell him
@@amesjahhh5312 Thank you, kind stranger ^^
Aqui é do Brasil. Talvez não seja grande coisa, mas quero dizer que, através deste (meio/música), venho dizer que Soen faz com que eu sinta a real magia do quê do sentido dos sentimentos, e o quanto a música pode nos tocar. A vida real estampada na cara, a ferida que não sara, o inocente injustiçado, a intensidade de tudo! A sensibilidade... a ansiedade... O mal do ser humano é não respeitar, é o pré-conceito com o próximo, é a falta de empatia!! Saibamos respeitar! Soen é fodah!!!!
Tudo é válido desde que não danifique a propriedade alheia. Imposto é roubo!
@@leodrsin Chamar de infante não é argumento válido.
@@NiloFlorido E é você o responsável pela legislação no seu mundinho ANCAP? Válido, inválido, quem estabelece isso? Vocês tentam fugir, mas o Estado sempre acompanha seus argumentos, jovens imberbes.
@@leodrsinkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Aheeeeeee.. bem que podiam vir no Brasil, né? Soen é uma banda lindíssima, mexe com a alma!
5:15 You don't always need a guitar solo, when you have Soen!
Why soen have only 15 thousand subscribers ? C´mon metal scene actually don´t know what awesome bands sounds like ... Soen deserves 7 billion subscribers, right now. Martyrs is a fucking amazing, awesome, remarkable, stunning, brilliant metal anthem. This song is like a sun to me everyday. i need listen it, for my existence i can surely affirm.
That's how you know a band is really good! They don't have that many follows and subs.
Absolutely mind blowing. That falsetto near the end gave me chills. Greetings from the Canary Islands!
Did anyone notice that all 4 elements are mentioned in the chorus ?? Spirit of the WATER let the SKY fall down on me ,suffocate the FIRES lit to harm .Here our prayers calling and embrace our fallen sons , heal the open wound that bleeds the EARTH
Sky is not air. That earth (the Earth) is not the element earth. Your argument is invalid.
@@wertrag You must be fun at parties
@@FairFuse Your buzz needs to be miniscule if it can be killed this easy.
I believe this was intentional, especially because spirit (aka aether) is sometimes referred to as the 5th element -- and "spirit" obviously being the first word in the chorus.
Another reason is the phrase, "our essence is the key". The 5th element is also called quint*essence* - literally "the fifth element", and it's also the highest element. Therefore, spirit is the key.
As far as the criticism that sky is not air goes: You can make that semantic argument, but I don't think it holds as it is entirely divorced from the obvious artistic intent. Wind/air/sky/atmosphere would all arguably equate here. The criticism is quite clearly wrong based upon my explanation above.
Whether someone wants to nit-pick whether or not sky = air, it's comfortable to say that the lyrics were chosen deliberately in the way the OP suggested.
@@cellarseer Spirit is key? This pseudo-exegetic empty talk is just ludicrous. Interpretation for the sake of interpretation. Means nothing, explains nothing. Enjoy the song, I don't think it means what you think it means.
Arriba Soen!!!! Saludos desde Uruguay, sigo a Martín desde Amon, Opeth y me gratifica tanto que exista este monumental a esta altura, obra mestra llamada Soen!!! Saludos para todos y felicitaciones!!!! En Uruguay le aguantamos los trapos!!! Larga vida a Soen!!!
Sí señor! vamo arriba!
Jajaja este video lo filmaron en el centro de Montevideo
@@gabrielkodokankarate recién me doy cuenta que es Montevideo
What a fantastic video. I don't remember the last time I watched a whole music video with such an interest. It's artsy, original, interesting and perfectly executed.
thanks for the opportunity, I am very happy to be part of this incredible video 🤘🏽✨
you're awesome 🙌🔥🤘
Sevichka Sevin 💖💖💖💖
for real?!!!! so fucking proud!!!
Were you the drummer? Didn't Martin want to dress in drag?
@@FearAbsence they all are actors, no one in the band dressed in drag.
To see ourselves in the others. Wonderful message.
Excellent Progressive Metal! Soen is pure quality!
Love the music, but found the video to be a bit of a drag.
ba dum ts!!!
I see what you did there
Not bad
If it were Reddit, I would've given you gold.
Have a 🍪
Let each one be happy in his own way, as simple as that. That's what matters. Without violence, without hiding, without repressing. Thank you Soen and everyone who participated in this beautiful project. This is a beautiful message inside a beautiful piece of art.
ok but please don't go into womans bathroom with my daughter. thank you
@@masoe5944 👏👏👏
@@masoe5944
What are you doing here then? Go away, be happy. Life is short, you know?
@@carlaferreiratb Let each one be happy in his own way. But don't make others tell what to do or how they should call them.
Or demand that they can go to the womans bathroom with little kids.
@@masoe5944 Adult women go into bathrooms with little girls. Adult men go into bathrooms with little boys. Sometimes moms are out alone with their little sons, and they take them into the women's bathroom. Sometimes dads are out alone with their daughters and take them into the men's bathroom. It is literally not a problem.
And neither is a transperson going into the bathroom which best fits their identity.
It is literally a non-issue.
What a voice. Talented band.

No te hace más o menos hombre ponerte en el lugar de otro, pero si más humano. Hay que evolucionar queridos seres! The fool is royalty and Never let you evolve... Buena canción, me gusto mucho la letra
Ne Obliviscaris - And Plague Flowers the Kaleidoscope
Bloodred Hourglass - The greatest time of change
and this song are the master pieces I have found in past 10 years... I love my life bc of these. :)
This song has a special place in my heart. Soen is an amazing band. ❤ From Serbia.
The fact people are triggered by this video proves Soens point. You cant like the song but be disgusted by the video because it goes hand in hand with the lyrics.
i can't say enought thanks for the yesterday's evening in hungary. for me it was the most professional and beautiful performance! thank you guys. you're awesome!
I'm blown away. Brilliant composition. Really respect the message of the video. Hands down!
What massage? Explain, please 🙏
You can recognize that drumming a mile away.
yes yes, is like: u listening to Soen huh, like when you hear just a bit of Tool drumming also, for ex :)
@pete M3rlin Soen may be a great band but Tool is better
Martin Lopez is what drew me to this band. And in my opinion, tool is way overated. Soen and Martin Lopez are much better.
@@whiteadi Lopez does not sound like Danny Carey---at times he can sound like Tomas Haake (Oscillations, from Cognitive), but not Carey.
But most of the times he sounds like his work with Opeth.
Edit: For example the drumming during the first chorus of this song is very, very similar to the drumming in the early part of Harlequin Forest.
@@steeeeeve536 down?
Thanks for this masterpiece, you guys are amazing!
Sounds a lot like Soen
Really?
@@jeffrobnify No, jk
Really?
Lmao
..... With a touch of Tool... Comeon, its due here, dude even dresses in drag like maynard lol
I couldn't think of anything, that could represent the song in a better way. I love you even more!
I don't give a single fuck who's copying who - I care about quality. And Soen, they are *top* quality.
I think I'm one of the few people who prefers the non-heavy side of Soen over the heavy side, so I'm really excited to hear this track, confirming that not the whole album will be as heavy as Rival (not that I dislike that one in anyway, it's just preference)
i need booth parts in same song.
Their chill side is way better imo. Lucidity, ideate, paragon, fraktal, the words, last light, all great songs but their only really chill songs. Their best too.
I’m with you for sure. Not necessarily because it’s my preference in general,but because it’s my preference for this band specifically. Mainly since I think Joel Ekelof’s vocals are better suited for the more melodic and softer songs and parts than the heavier ones. I also think Martin Lopez’s insane groove/feel drumming style really shines in the softer songs and parts as well.
This is the first Soen song i get to know. I love it!Heavy enough for me.
Is this more or less the style of the Lotus album?
Love you guys, can't wait for the new album.
Beautiful, majestic piece of music! I was worried when Marcus decided to leave but now listening to what Cody is capable of playing I fear no more :-> Part starting 5:13 gives me shivers; it's been a while since I last heard such amazing guitar riff
Is Cody American?
Just a casual Friday night for me.
Excellent music. I can listen to this song all day.
The video is about how they have been pursued as a tool rip-off but inside they are soen. Never been treated like soen.
Hahahahah best comment ever. I hate the Tool comparison as well
But they do sound like a complete Opeth and TOOL mashup with some System of A Down thrown into the mix.
Which is not a bad thing especially since I would prefer Soen was Opeth right about :(
Shit Multiverse I wouldn’t say they sound exactly like Opeth,but to me they sound like what most people wanted Opeth to do after Watershed. Instead of what actually happened. But at the same time,Soen’s sound is also kind of post metal influenced and I can’t really envision Opeth going down that direction.
Ankush Sharma I have to admit that first I thought it was “like Tool” but I apologize for that...
I can even say now I love them more than Tool 🤘🏻🔥
specially with this song, I LOVE!! the lyrics
I never thought they sounded like tool and I don't really get how anyone would have. Great band
Amazingly beautiful video for an a amazingly beautiful song!
Tjänare folkens,
I was at your concert in Munich (went all the way from Hannover, some 500-600km) and enjoyed it tremendously. This video was what got me hooked I must admit. I so dig the drag you wear in this which by the way makes all of you look really fabulous. 😘 And I sang along in the chorus the day before yesterday, the song is great as are many of yours. Keep on making our hearts sing, guys!
Hälsningar från Hannover, Tyskland! 🥰
Jävla fan this is good music. Two weeks ago I had never heard of Soen and now I can’t get enough. Love the sound, the vocals and the music. I feel like back in the day when I heard my favourite bands for the first time. When you know you are listening to something very special. Music that gives you goose bumps and “eargasms”. Thank you for excisting.
Love the track, love the message, absolutely love the video. This is what inclusivity is all about. Thank you Soen.
A fetish is not a gender.
Is inclusivity about strait white people too ? Too many people say no, whats your take ?
@@RAAZR- so you're saying there's Religious objects in this video?
Voor de tweede maal op rij werd het mooiste festival ter wereld, Graspop in Dessel (België), geannuleerd. Het is weer een jaar wachten op de 25ste editie. Hopelijk staat SOEN dan weer op de affiche zoals ook voorzien was in 2020 en 2021. Geweldige muziek!
Acabo de descubrir esta banda ,madre mia que pedazo de banda,os habéis ganado un seguidor más, PD:a esta banda si la tragera dream theater para habrir sus conciertos sería la reostia 🤘🍻
En concierto son muy buenos. Yo recuerdo que escuché Deeam Theater por primera vez hace casi 20 años, ha pasado mucho. Te invito a que escuches los primeros discos de soen. Son sublimes, muy TOOL.
Saudações brasikeiras. É Soen alcançando todo o 🌍
I feel like I just watched Marilyn Manson’s morning routine.
One huge difference is, so far, these people aren't verifiable pieces of shit.
Put on some PVC and Dance!
😅
Just clicked the video out of curiosity. Very pleased. What an amazing song.
Gran banda. Fantásticas imágenes de la Plaza Cagancha y el centro de Montevideo, Uruguay
ive found this band recently on apple music, im in owe how amazing they are , i hope they keep playing, im a maynard lover as well.
Can’t wait to hear more
Can’t wait to see them live
Can’t wait...
incredible video love you SOEN from GREECE
Thank you, gentlemen. The journey this track takes me on covers all of the emotional spectrums. Up, down, in, and out. Awesome. Thank you 🙏
Deep... So many meanings can be applied to this song and video. Great work.
Recorded in Montevideo, Uruguay
Si se puede deducir que fue en latinoamerica. Cuando el "Baterista" dice "Que pasa"
@@adminadmin-vs4sf el baterista és sueco hijo de exiliados Uruguayos.
Me di cuenta mientras miraba el vídeo que hay un cartel de la calle Cuareim!!!
Beautiful video and great music.
Very very cool song, and message!! Great work guys!!
at last! Soen found its own way !! So Happy for them, Congrats!!
Found a band worth listening to after a long while 🤟🤟
Gigantes como siempre! Genial verlos crecer cada vez mas. Excelente el equipo uruguayo que logró trasmitir tanto.
Que significa el video??
this deserves millions of views
I must say, fantastic song in all senses, music and text, but the video blows totally the mind
It's freaking awesome... !!! Wow!
Absolutely provocative video . Well done Soen .
I can't wait for the album 😍 Greetings from Germany.
Love the way how they impulse the music, how they perfected it
Holy shit, the part starting at 5:33 gave me goosebumps, and that RARELY happens to me with music. Lykaia happens to be my least favorite Soen album out of the first tree, and Rival was nothing surprisingly new to me, so I was kind of afraid they had already made their best songs. Damn how wrong I am proven.
Weird ass judgment and taste you've got. Lykaia is the best thing these will ever write. It has unbelievable Opeth riffs all over the place.
This new song proves they're heading into pop music
@@soullessSiIence Sorry, didn't know taste was an objective thing. And I thought I was pretty clear that all these things were just my opinion ("Lykaia HAPPENS to be MY least favorite", "Rival was nothing surprisingly new TO ME"), so I have no clue what judgement you're talking about.
@@soullessSiIence Okay, that pop music statement is one bold and ridiculous claim.
They never fail to give me goosebumps!
My favourite was cognitive till this album came out.
Also the pop comment is rubbish!
The fact that their sound bares influences from Tool (and Opeth and whatever else) is nothing to be ashamed of. They still have their own sound and it's a great one. Every other band sounds similar to a previous one if you pay enough attention, it's never been a bad thing.
wow ... just wow!! one of the best musics of this year!
🖤🖤🖤🫶🏻
Hermoso video!
Hermosa canción!
Nos vemos en Chihuahua🇲🇽
impossible.....genius....i was crying....lots of emotions....great!great!great!
My god, this song and video are FANTASTIC.
Excelente Soen, que habrán su mente muchos de sus seguidores. Se pasaron wn. Saludos desde Chile ♡

iban a venir el 27 de marzo si no me equivoco y justo quedó la caga:(
@@FelipeSaavedra-v1g 25 y 27 tenían dos fechas, yo iba el del 25 pero por lo del covid-19 tuvieron que reagendar para el 17 y 18 de septiembre ✌
Amazing album! And this is my favourite track... You are one of the best bands in the world! Greetings from Sabadell, Barcelona!!!
New Album! Yeah! Waiting for Lotus in line!
Great video, great song, great band. Soen delivers again
That's just fkin brilliant, a killer tune & something original clip wise. Nice to see ppl brave enough to leave generic sh*t behind. KUDOS!
Großartige Musik, tolle Entwicklung der Band und passendes Video! Hervorragend!
Love you guys and what you do! Fuck the haters. If they have a problem with this video, they need to re-evaluate themselves and open up their minds!
Glad to see Montevideo streets in this great video of a brand new awesome Metal band.
Hahahahahahahaha, great video guys. I can't wait to have that record.
This has to be my favourite track on the album.
Masterpiece!
Loved the lyrics, loved the composition! Elements of a good start (First time listening), I am gonna enjoy the ride!
Dream Theater, Children of Bodom and now Soen, December sure has been a good month so far.
And new grimes album
I think i'll give Dream Theater a miss. Not really been enjoying them as much since Portnoy left.
@@Rose.Of.Hizaki agreed... but they tour this year with the 20th anniversary of scenes from a memory which means the'll play the whole fucking album live!! I got tickets :D :D
This is bloody fantastic. One of the best songs I've heard in ages.
5:15 guys. 5:15
True. Pure magic...
Yes
I went straigt to that part without having heard the song before. The magic is really in how it releases the energy built up in the part before.
Really reminds me of Marko Saaresto from POTF. Recently discovered this band and I love them already!
@@csengegall2595 there's this album called Lykia. I highly recommend it. Welcome to the rabbit hole.
Pedazo de tema y de video.....SOEN tremendos
Just saw them live. Soen might be the next big thing
Fantastic song! The video is great too 💕
The Video can't distract you, if you're reading the comments
This song is a masterpiece!
Great vídeo! Great ALL! Soen i Love you🤘🤘
this video is fucking HORRID
SAVIA, OPAL AND MARTYRS ... my three fav ones !

lo que mas me impresiono del video fue verlos tomar cerveza norteña en la esquina de mi casa. jajaaj
the most shocking part was when they drink norteña beer in the corner of my house jajaj
Quedó inmortalizada la Norteña jaja
The best song of the year !!!!
Dear Soen: Thanks for the beautiful song and video. Apologies for all the twits who can't separate art from politics.
I liked the vid and song but i think youre oversimplifying things
For instance: if you found out one of your favorite artists was child rapist, would you still support their work
@@TOAOM123 I dont understand.... You liked the video and the song. So you definitely dont have a problem with the concepts shown in the video. Neither do I. So what's the problem?
Also... How is that child rapist thing even applicable here... Lol.. you totally lost me....
@@Butwhy23 because the people who take issue with whats being presented see it as a moral issue
Ie: its for these people, its no different than deciding to no longer support Kevin spacey post accusation
Im not saying its right or that their assessments are justified
But these views will persist sociologically so long as people dismiss the arguments the other side is making
@stelkizi have you completely missed the last year? Kevin Spacey has been on trial for sexually assaulting teenage boys. He's already been charged for sexually assaulting an 18yo and hes still on trial for sexually assaulting a 14yo
Now we can compare it to marylin manson look.
Amazing song guys, wait for this new album
damn,amazing music Soen
Thank you for this video! We are in 2019 :)
I love two things - prog metal and the art of drag. I am beyond happy now.
Me and my boyfriend too!!
It’s a pleasant combination of two things I love
i honestly thought i was the only one :)
