Lyrics
-----------------------
Regardless of darkness and light, I have chosen
The tables, turning around me, such a burden
But the light is upon me and you, I will follow
North or south, I will ignite you, you're hollow

Incinerating, the shield is fading
Mortal cadence rises for you, one more time
Desperation
Becomes obsession
I have paintings of you, I'll draw the pain

Hold on, onto the light
Cast by the angels that take flight
Why do we hold?
Look down, down onto me
Desperate to find the holiest peace
Why do we hold?
So that I can live to see you again

But without this incarnate, we claim, still receding
For the violence never solved anything, 'cause I'm still bleeding

Intoxication, controlled possessions
Hold in till my face turns blue, one more time
Crazed obstructions (Crazed obstructions)
Show my contortions (Show my contortions)
I have paintings of you, I'll draw the pain

Hold on, onto the light
Cast by the angels that take flight
Why do we hold?
Look down, down onto me
Desperate to find the holiest peace
Why do we hold?
So that I can live to see you again

This is my own vengeance
I will live for this day, to hold you in my arms

I will bleed for you

Hold on, onto the light
Cast by the angels that take flight
Why do we hold?
Look down, down onto me
Desperate to find the holiest peace
Why do we hold?
So that I can live to see you again

This is my own vengeance

This is an example of how much you have grown since the original HOAA as a musician and as a person, it's so beautiful

[leocrashplay]

*It's been five years since this song came out for the first time, and to this day, With this remake, it's still too good, it makes me so nostalgic, since it's a song from the first album IRIS* ❤

[RoyalAspects]

The fact that we now have 3 versions of this song is amazing😂

[lilhavoc]

It occurs to me that we've gotten something from IRIS every year since 2016.


2016: Heart of an Artist song
2017: As The Lights Go Out, Kings & Queens
2018: Heart of an Artist Album
2019: Goliath's Throne Album
2020: Jaws of Dawn Campain and Soundtrack
2021: Transmissions, Dawn of the Dimetrix Album
2022: Hither & Yonder, We Stand In A Line
2023: Heart of an Artist: Ressurection


IRIS has been going on for 8 years, and still as awesome as ever, if not more so.

[sdbwhateverlol]

It’s funny that I was listening to the original version when I saw this notification pop up. Immediately clicked and was not dissatisfied in the slightest. Keep it up man.

[kh-productions-channel]

THIS IS YOUR OWN VENGEANCE! I'm so so so happy to this this happening. And I'm so proud of you Will, to see how far you've come. Raise Havok!

Why Do We Hold Resurrection still Slaps!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[nocturneprividyenie]

The evolution of the sound is proof that you're breaking your limits and surpassing them by an absolute landslide and then some. The difference between this and the others is night and day, with this one being the best.

The visuals in the video are a sight to behold.

[lotus]

Might just be me, but the song carries a whole new meaning after listening to Dawn of The Dimetrix

[ferdiecleto]

Resurrection is abliss!!!!❤ IRIS Is back baby 😎😎

[BrenGaming]

I have a very distinct memory of driving to my local Walmart on a rainy summer 2018 day so I could buy some LEGO sets, and the entire time, I was blasting Why Do We Hold (and HOAA in general.) This song never fails to bring me back, no matter the version. Can't wait for the whole album!

[broknskies]

The original HOAA tracks, the other two albums or even the old Resurrection singles have nothing on this. Truly doing justice to an amazing album. Great job, and I can't wait to hear more!

[GenericPsycho_]

I didn't expected a first single of Resurrection so soon, but HOLY SHIT THIS IS A BANGER!!

[kuro_kitsune]

Heart of an artist (song and album) mean so much to me... getting resurrections makes me so happy and I'm already so hyped for the ones still coming out. I remember the day the album first released and I can't wait to listen to all the songs "for the first time" again 💜

Finding all this today honestly saved me

[Titantanic]

I’m absolutely blown away by this remake and that the fact that this song still makes me cry. I’ll always remember when I heard the original version of this song from a preview and then when HOAA came out I was excited for this song the most. And I will have to say that this version beats the other two by a shot! Will I can’t get ever how far you’ve come along as not just a musician but as a person too and we are so proud and happy for you! Can’t wait to hear the album resurrected once again! ❤️👁️

[theredcrossofficial]

Honestly, I’m just glad that there’s actual lyrics now so you know what the hell he’s saying.

[julierosepanisales]

YESSSS, WHY DO WE HOLD REMAKE! // RESURRECTION

[roxanabajan]

I don't know for how long I've been waiting for the HOAA Resurrection but I'm very very proud of how William evolved in his music career. He is and will be forever my favourite artist. The man that brought me into metal with his originals 🤍

[ReminiscentIndustries]

The sheer quality of this remaster is unparalleled with the other IRIS tracks in mind. Even some of the DOTD tracks have NOTHING on this. Amazing job to you, Will!
