Arched Fire - "Escape" (lyric video)

In the night
I hear them calling
My servant name
In my dreams
Their throne is falling
And washed away

I was born to
A dark damp place
Drenched in a rain
Forever and a day
Raised by a whiplash
And ravenous creatures
Rejected for my
Disliked features

It’s time to strike back
Nocturnal attack

Breaking out from rage
Sign out from my fate

Swallowed in a belly
Of a venomous snake
Still alive and kicking,
Fighting to get away
In breezing winds
Of a dead cold winter
I reached out
And tasted the fear

Stronger than before
I held my fist in the air
I had found a way
Get out of this nightmare
Lessons learned the hard way,
Now you must beware
I had become from misfit to avenger

Breaking out from rage
Sign out from my fate

Countless days of sweat
I will not forget
Soon it is too late
It’s time to escape

Howling at the moon
Crawling out and soon
Whispering my rune
I have to find
A way to get out there

There must be a way to escape
Saw off my chains and run away
See myself rising high
I am now alive!

In the night I hear them calling
My servant name
But today tables are turning
I rule the game

I held the chains
That once held me down
Broken in pieces
I got around
I am the king and
I reign in blood
Down in the ground
I can hear them shout

It’s time to strike back
Nocturnal attack

Breaking out from rage
Sign out from my fate

Countless days of sweat
I will not forget
Soon it is too late
It’s time to escape

Howling at the moon
Crawling out and soon
Whispering my rune
I have to find a way
To get out there

Οι Arched Fire δραστηριοποιήθηκαν από το 1989 έως το 1990. Φινλανδικό συγκρότημα που δεν κατάφερε να αφήσει δισκογραφικό αποτύπωμα. Πρόπερσι η μπάντα επανασυνδέθηκε. Όλη η "παλιά φρουρά" συν τον τραγουδιστή Kristian Herkman. Καρπός της επιστροφής τους το album "Remote Control" που κυκλοφόρησε στα τέλη Απριλίου...

Δελτίο τύπου: «“Remote Control" is Arched Fire’s first album. They were working on it throughout the year 2020. Most of the time was spent on writing songs. They created new music, wrote lyrics and developed some ideas and concepts from the band’s early days. The music is straight-forward and in-your-face; speed metal meets heavy metal. A lot of the songs are dealing with themes like power and control on different levels and from different angles - thus, Remote Control. It’s a fitting title also because they often had to co-operate from distance (for obvious reasons).»

Δελτίο τύπου: «”Escape” is a story of a man who strives to get out of the misery and blight that is his life. He rises to power and spreads misery among others. It all happens in a world where people have the power to change their social position. The lyrics also has some references to the band’s early days (1989-1990) in the cold and dark, yet beautiful Finnish Lapland – a bunch of 15-year-old guys formed a metal band in a small town where there was no metal scene whatsoever and where guys with long hair were frowned upon.»
