Arched Fire - "From Dust to Dust" (lyric video)
Incarnated in cosmic clouds
Rain down with fire
From volcanoes
Ingredients forged
By hypergiants
Torn apart was my heart
I held the secret in
My tectonic plates
Made earthquakes
And so it begins
From dust to dust
Back to what once was
Beneath the crust
We are stardust
Past is my future
As I bend space and time
In my mind we belong
Wings of chaos
Never blow wrong
From dust to dust
Back to what once was
Beneath the crust
We are stardust
From dust to dust!
From dust to dust
Back to what once was
Beneath the crust
We are stardust
If nothing now but one with all
Return to where you came to us from
Surrounded by supernovas
In the last caress
Embraced in black hole radiation
In vast fluctuating emptiness
From dust to dust!
From dust to dust!
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).»
Ari: «From Dust to Dust is the oldest song on our album Remote Control. We first started playing it in October 1989, believe it not. But that’s only the riffs. The arrangement and especially the vocal lines and the lyrics by Mr. Herkman breathed a new kind of life into the whole thing.
It was born again cosmic and existential. From Dust to Dust is the last song on the album. It’s a perfect slot for it both thematically and musically. It’s a punchy heavy metal song with lyrics deep as space and time. When we started talking about who could feat on the song, I knew the guys were all fans of a certain Finnish scientist, so...»
Kristian: «I think it was Ari who had the idea to ask Esko Valtaoja to feature on our song titled From Dust to Dust. Esko is the most famous Finnish astronomer, and the song is about how our atoms are made in dying stars.
We thought it was perfect, and soon Esko replied that he is in for the job! We went through some texts that Esko had written before and Ari found the perfect one to fit the song. Esko sent us a video of him reading the text and we separated the audio from it into the mix.
The lyrics of the song deal with death and ponder upon what is existence. Matter is energy, and energy cannot be destroyed. So, we are made of indestructible energy! But what is us and where do we end? Death feels like something is lost, but in emptiness there is a potential for something new. Each human is spending just a tiny moment in space-time.»
