Lyrics:
We'll be a million faces
A generation lost
A path of self destruction
The Taurus runs amok

Trading greener pastures
For silver-tinted suns
This threat bestowed upon us
Will only strengthen us

Don't look back
A new life's waiting
All not saved will be lost

You'll see a million faces
Fleeing the motherland in droves
Who knows if we will make it?
To that place we'll someday call home

The straw won't break the camel's back
When our backs are up against the wall
Under the cover of your darkness
And so our plight endeavors on

Don't look back
A new life's waiting
All not saved will be lost
If it's a nowhere road
We'll find salvation
Somewhere in Avalon

On the journey with no distance
To a place that we never left
And the suffering is how we overcome

And we question everything we know
In searching for Avalon
Our ambition is how we learn to fail

Don't look back
A new life's waiting (Cleansing the slate or running from your past)
All not saved is lost (All not saved is lost)
Don't slow down on this nowhere road (New life awaits when you reach Avalon)
Where we all belong

[NeoShark]

I hear some Soen vibes from 3:04, especially from the vocals. That is stunning song.

[Correactor]

I love the drastic evolution from the beginning to the end of the song. Reminds me of Leprous' latest album.

[matthiasmorche]

My son introduced me to you, to your art. Now I‘m a believer.
PROGGEST OF THE PROG!

[Fernanufret]

Oh yeah! Here we go!
Amazing as always, gentlemen!

[Urmothafu]

The chorus could be straight from Affinity. And that's a great thing, since I love that album to death!

[terrc]

Fauna will be an album full of musical diversity, an artistic rainforest.
We went from "The alphabet of me", an extremely original song with electronic sounds and nice rythm patterns, to "Taurus" with its djent riffs and Virus vibes. Oh, and we shouldn't forget "Nightingale", a kickass song composed with the best Haken resources.

[khaddad]

This song really grew on me. Love how Ross' vocals subtly add emotion to the heavy riffing! Haken never ceases to amaze.

[steveweilhart]

stunning - love the way prog vocalist contrast the busy arrangements with the flowing vocal lines - very beautiful - great band - one of the best prog bands - tesseract and leprous are 2 other bands with the vocals and the music working so well together -

[dncrystal]

3:40 Nice little Extol sneak in there, cool song!

[danielhoward]

Some people will love this direction they're going in with this one (me included), some will hate it, would've personally liked it to go even heavier tbh, but overall really loving this album so far, some of the best they've ever produced

[dragonBishop]

Found this song during the lowest part of my life. Helped me keep my head up and look forward. Keep kicking yall, much love. Beautiful music 💜

[UUDDLRLRAB_select_start]

If haken puts out a beat, I'm in the street

[LowendNate]

This new album is going to be my favorite of 2023 for sure! every song so far is just reminding me why this is my favorite band of all time!

[rockonthestone]

Haven't been this excited for an album in a hot minute

[wagnerock]

[galaxy_orchestra]

This came as a surprise, just popped up on my YouTube homepage! Relatively new fan of y'alls (been listening for a month or so) and you guys are constantly killing it. Awesome song, this album is looking SO sick so far. <3

[SebastianMartinez-sjcj]

I Fn love this band . Super underrated. I know when people are cool and I talk about haken and they know about them 👻

[OpethianDream]

[lukeyyyyyy]

great evolution for the band, lots of inspiration from many genres. can’t wait to see how it all comes together.

[yanivhacmon]
