Saxon - 'Remember The Fallen' (video)
It came across the China sea
No one knew the threat to you and me
All the warnings came too late
The battle started slow and sealed our fate
A silent killer stalked the streets
A chance to spread across to all we meet
When the war is done
Our lives will never be the same
Remember the heroes
Remember their lives
Remember the heroes
Remember, remember the fallen
Remember the fallen
Just like the plague, it traveled fast
Taking down whoever crossed its path
It started first with the sick and old
The shocking truth was never really told
The science tried to find the virus
To kill the beast before it devours us
When the war is done
Our lives will never be the same
Remember the heroes
Remember their lives
Remember the heroes
Remember, remember the fallen
Is it never ending,
Will we ever be free?
How long will it take
To bring normality?
So many died before their time
To put their lives upon the line
The fatal bug tore through us all
Some survived while others seemed to fall
No one took it serious
What caused it all is so mysterious
When the war is won
Our lives will never be the same
Remember the heroes
Remember their lives
Remember the heroes
Remember, remember the fallen
Remember the fallen

«Carpe diem quam minimum credula postero» μας λέει ο Ρωμαίος λυρικός ποιητής του 1ου αιώνα πΧ Οράτιος στο ενδέκατο ποίημα του πρώτου βιβλίου των Ωδών. Carpe diem, άδραξε την ημέρα. Έτσι ονομάζεται και το νέο δισκογραφικό πόνημα των Saxon που έχει προγραμματισθεί να κυκλοφορήσει στις αρχές του τελευταίου χειμερινού μήνα...
Δελτίο τύπου: «“British Heavy Metal legends Saxon have released the second single, “𝕽𝖊𝖒𝖊𝖒𝖇𝖊𝖗 𝕿𝖍𝖊 𝕱𝖆𝖑𝖑𝖊𝖓”, from their upcoming album, 𝕮𝖆𝖗𝖕𝖊 𝕯𝖎𝖊𝖒 - set for release February 4th via Silver Lining Music.
"I wanted to write a song about Covid, about the people that have died, and give my perception of how it seemed to happen” offers Biff Byford. “Certain aspects of it all are quite mysterious, and of course, it hasn’t finished yet, has it? We should all remember those who have died as a group of people not really knowing why they died, because the information wasn’t there.”
The release of “Remember the Fallen” is also accompanied by a reportage-style video montaged with footage of the band’s individual recording sessions. Produced by Andy Sneap (Judas Priest, Exodus, Accept) at Backstage Recording Studios in Derbyshire with Byford and Sneap mixing and mastering, Carpe Diem strikes the ear as one of the most essential British metal statements of the last few years and not lacking in pace or bite, an album which will ignite the joy in stalwart supporters and attract a whole new legion to the Saxon fold.
Sneap, himself a guitarist and producer of some metal repute, ensures that Carpe Diem does not lack one ounce of grit or sharpness. “Andy’s obviously a very good guitarist,” says Biff, “but he’s not a blues-based guitarist like our guys are, he’s more of a modern style player. And that means the boys (Paul Quinn and Doug Scarratt) love working with him because, again, it’s all about the intensity.
Andy’s always pushing the envelope, he doesn’t let them get away with anything. They have to play it for real, full speed. He gets great sound, and we want that Gibson/ Marshall ‘80s sound even if they’re not Gibsons and Marshalls. We try and retain that British metal guitar sound that we created for Saxon, and he’s definitely an ‘80s child.”
Despite a career which has spanned 44 years with over 15 million albums sold, including four top 10 UK albums, and having played to hundreds of thousands of fans worldwide, Saxon are revving up for one of their busiest eras yet. “We’re gonna be quite busy this year,” says Biff.
“We’re doing a UK tour later this month, there are festivals which have been rescheduled from two years ago, we’re looking to go to America, we’re also going to tour Europe and like everyone really, we’re just keeping our fingers crossed that everything works out and we can do it all. We’re also recording the second Inspirations album, and as we do that, you never know, we might write a few songs for the next Saxon album...”
As you can see, Saxon remain committed to seizing every minute of every hour of every day. Carpe Diem indeed!»
