"The Race"

I heard there was a place
Where we’re all one race
Colour, gender, age never could dictate

I saw there was a time
When we valued all life
Nobody oppressed; Everyone had rights

Suddenly,
in an age where the distance between us is binary,
All we see
Is an internal war
Friendly fire in the sky and respect on the floor

Constricting like a heart attack
A mythomaniac
on the loose in the streets
Blood boiling with the burning heat
of caustic defeat
Now there’s no turning back

Ha! So we laugh while the tides all turn
Melting grey matter
Voluntarily slaves

Always searching for the one real truth
So we can misconstrue it
To suit our needs

Ingesting operant conditioning
Divine contamination
like lye on flesh, it stings
Trust your leaders, trust the system
Reproduce, repeat.
Never question authority, never suspect deceit!

Always on the run
Can’t remember where we’re running to
Or what we’re running from
But we’re picking up speed
All the books and broadcasts? Jettison!
Without their burden
True ethics are freed

Extract the labels that lobotomize
And you’ll realize
We are all one.
Fly or swim, fur or skin,
We’re alive, abolitionists rise!

Constricting like a heart attack
A mythomaniac
on the loose in the streets
Blood boiling with the burning heat
of caustic defeat
Now don’t go turning back

New single “Deceiver, Deceiver” by Arch Enemy out now everywhere!

[aynz]

Alissa’s lyrics and vocals add so much depth and texture to Arch Enemy. There really aren’t too many metal vocalists that posses the ability to create such a variety of sounds with the speed and rhythmic complexity to match. I was sad when she left the Agonist but glad she seems happier now and has found her niche pushing AE to new limits

[ThesChannel]

It's so nice to see more women in metal that are absolutely crushing it. Really brings in some more variety to the genre.

[Yeinbrain]

These lyrics are incredible. Arch Enemy has proven themselves one of the greatest bands in the metal genre

[SpecialAgentBillMaxwell]

Loomis closes this perfectly. I just wish they would have let him tear it up for a full minute at the end, because it was flawless.

[MetalJesusRocks]

Loving the thrash and aggression in this tune. Great stuff \m/

[Nuke_Gunray]

Will to Power is just such an amazing name for a metal album... I mean, if Nietzsche was alive today, he would probably be a metalhead.

[computercomputer]

When I grow up, I will join Arch Enemy and I'll become their youngest band member... I'm only 40 years old now, and I just started learning to play the accordion.

[philipnaclerio]

This band is so over the top in every aspect of music
Great song writing and musicianship, every member is
polished at what they do!

[randomalbum]

Their drummer is sick, I've been binging this album all month and the drumming is what has been standing out the most, it's so crisp and precise

[linaleia]

*puts headphones on full volume* Ahhh lovely 😊

[ysmn]

Her voice sounds more brutal than War Eternal. Alissa is fucking great in new album

[mikeh]

0:37 0:48 In the live versions like wacken 2018, Jeff plays some pinches at these moments and it sounds so good. I wish they were on the album. 😁🤘

[raminieminen]

I was at this gig ✌ It was awesome. It was the first time for me to see Arch Enemy live and I have seen them once more after this one. Can not wait to see them again, they have such good pits 🤘

[padibadm]

roses are red
violets are blue
when i listen to arch enemy
my neighbors do too

[livecrew]

These have to be the most brutal vocals allssa has done i am impressed.

[humphreyapplebee]

sexiest growler alive. If only she would find her opera voice Nightwish would be annihilated. If you had ever heard her not growl then you are in for an angels voice. Absolutely fantastic.

[YasWitch]

So no one will talk about how GREAT AND NECESSARY these lyrics are??

[ausphere_]

So many elitist in the comment section.for all i care, this is Arch Enemy style and i love it!

[francovilla]

What an amazing ending to the video. I can call it nothing but a perfect ending. All black and silence. On the other hand I also thought about the fact that this race that preceded us where every life had equal value to be clear also hunted with weapons peacefully together without hurting each other. So if they could do it we should understand why nowadays it is no longer possible.
