I love how each music video has it's own unique style of makeup

[unicorndirge]

They walked this withered wasteland
The taste of ash in every breath
A violent past forsaken
The creeds did breed contempt

Seeking grace and beauty in the wreckage
Pure wisdom hides away in the decay
The shadowed truth foretold the message
The darkest heart can lead the right way

Here in ruins life still grows
Here in ruins, a blooming rose
Here in ruins love remains
We will rise again

So don’t let your downfall be destiny
Don’t blame the stars
So don’t let your downfall be destiny
The moment is ours

All monuments now remnants
The grandiose reduced to dust
Those sacred names abolished
This future we must trust

It is our duty to replenish
Envisage life eclipsing death and fate
From sallow youth to the decrepit
The tarnished start to reason faith

Hope is here, so near
Hope is here, a new life

I walk this withered wasteland
A sense of purpose in each step
Wherever this path takes us
We’ll tread with pure intent

[Roderik]

They came to Guadalajara, Mexico, and they said in the show that they found a cool place to record a video... This place is located at "La barranca de huentitan" . We are proud that you guys appreciate this place. Greetings from Mexico!!!!

[beckpohl]

I know this will probably sound crazy, but this song and a few others have been helping me move forward in my life since my Stroke. I want to let you know that your music and others like you help in healing the mind which in turn heals the body. Thank you so much for your hard work in the music you give us. ❤

28.12.2019 in a small town near Bergen, Norway, I was watching YouTube and suddenly this video started playing and my life changed forever. Since then, I live only for Lord of the Lost

[Beau]

“Don’t let your downfall be destiny, the moment is ours” that speaks to me on many levels! 🔥🔥🔥

[danepresley]

Wow his voice is incredible. From glorious clean to screaming I can actually understand

[eignare.morenob.]

Lord Of The Lost, the only band that takes video of all the songs on their albums ... we appreciate that ... Great are the best ...

[LordiAwa]

I became a fan a long time ago, back in the days when the comment sections used to be almost exclusively in german. I am so glad they made it so damn far and got fans all around the globe! Thornstar realy is a milestone for their career ♥

[Malakaimoth]

Chris harms is an amazing song writer and this is just proof that he is as consistently brilliant as ever

[LostBird]

That moment when the chorus comes in....ohh it takes over every molecule of my being. So powerful. This is one of my top 3 songs from LOTL....actually, from anyone.

[mawiefaithviena]

How to explain, if music, lyrics and sound of the voice getting connected to visual perfection and all you feel is... pure surrender. Everytime I´m watching what artwork here is created I´m stunned. BRAVO!!!

[audreythecat]

I am 47 and you guys give me the same vibes Maiden or Metallica gave me back in the 80s (and today). you kids have it, have heard some of your other material and your are one of the bands that "has it". it is way above genres and generations, keep it, you are great,

[natalyasamoylova]

Великолепная немецкая группа с уникальным талантливым лидером.

[BlueGuise]

Thank you Lord of the Lost!
You are a constant support to me during difficult times!
