Lyrics

Master of the darkness • Siren of the storm • Whisper in the silence • The king of nevermore • Keeper of the secrets • Reaper in the fall • Reigning here eternal • The king of nevermore
The bells will ring • Virtue extolled • Behold, destiny, thy guidance • Master of dominion, he’s the shadow on the wall • His arms are always open • He’s the name we leave unspoken • He’s the king of nevermore • The harbinger of all • Dark matters • Breaker of the cycle • Seeker of the soul • Shepherd in the ether • Through the gates of nevermore • Look just beyond the pale • The truth is there to see for one and all • The answers that you seek • Lie just beyond his open door
The bells will ring • Virtue extolled • Behold, destiny, thy guidance • Master of dominion, he’s the shadow on the wall • His arms are always open • He’s the name we leave unspoken • He’s the king of nevermore • The harbinger of all • Dark matters • In death we all sing the hymns of nevermore • Nevermore • The promise, the constant • The requiem for every soul • Polaris inside us • We sing the hymns of nevermore • The harbinger of all • Dark matters.

Europe, we're coming back with our 20 Year Anniversary tour in 2025!
We can't wait to see you for these historic shows!

[MusicDork]

My favorite part is when death kneels at the end of the little girl. Even death is humbled by the passing of a child....but at least she gets to be reunited with her dog. This is truly a beautiful video.

[Clarqui]

The way that they portrayed death as something not to fear but to accept is amazing

[nikoff]

I have watched this vid over and over and still get chills when the little girl walks up. Brilliant song, brilliant vid. Bring on the new album.

[tonythomas]

They are the best that has ever been. I discovered them at 54 years old. Every album is priceless damn they rule

[wayofthegrunt]

I don’t care who you are, but nothing can beat that guitar slap at 3:15 in the middle of a desert. You’d feel like a god.

[Edubs-hfln]

Honestly the music is great, but damn this video is amazing. I love the way Death is portrayed here, as more of a friend and not something we really need to fear. Giving back to what we have been ruining. Love it.

[BeyondTheScript]

One last comment their singer has the cleanest screams I ever heard. You can understand every word. The passion in his voice, is uncanning, and unmatched. Well done guys!!!

[HOLYSCHNIKES]

This is such a masterpiece. I cry every time I see the girl with her dog. Hopefully I’ll see mine again like this🥹

[vanraid]

I lost my younger sister of 27 2 weeks ago, I deeply identified with your music and video, thank you for not letting me feel alone and knowing that the most important thing is to do good for the loved ones and what we really really like!
Greetings from South America, Paraguay

[MxrcSxhxfer]

Ich habe die hälfte meines Lebens hinter mir. Ich sitze hier im winter Sonnenaufgang nach einer 12 Stunden Schicht.
Und endlich schlägt mir Youtube etwas gutes vor -

This is what we

[SouthShoreSabers]

I know how serious this song is, and its deeper meaning that has really broken me at times. BUT I cant help to chuckle at the ant going for one hell of a bop at 4:55

[BrianPremo]

This song and video is the definition of masterpiece. Beautiful, powerful, just wow.

[s.t.s]

I feel like this video covered all the locations you are likely to find a Metalcore band....rocky ocean area, desert, forest and a field...this is probably why it's such a great song!

[calliewood]

I haven't listened to them in YEARS! My 13 yr old was like "mom check out this new band" CHILD THIS IS NOT A NEW BAND! They've been around longer than you! So we've been binging all of their albums. This is her favorite song right now & I absolutely love it! I'm reliving my teen years through her as she discovers all my favorite bands 😍

[SailorIvo]

4:42 the hits on that notes, i love to see that...

[chrisz]

What a beautiful Intro with the Choir Like Voices. And the Riff and Drum after he sits on the Throne, simple, stripped down, it stucks with you. A great example that you don´t need as many notes and fast as possible, to make a good song.

[bryanlacount]

When you look at what Parkway Drive has been through in the last 7 years, the death of Architects guitarist Tom Searle to cancer who they were touring with, soon after the band lost a very close friend to cancer, and around that time Winston lost his dog Monty to cancer. They've been hit in the face with death, the pandemic, internal issues and family issues. These guys are a power house, they channel that anger, pain, hate, frustration, anguish and dread in a way that most can't. I think this new album will be a darker and deeper continuation of Reverence. With Glitch and now The Greatest Fear, I can already tell there's a definite deep heavy story about to be told.

[erasetheday]

It was so cool to see the band in different visual locations, and the story had a clean and easy to understand message that really caught a good vibe to the whole song.
The breakdown hit hard and it gave off some "prey" vibes!
Evolving together as a band is a very important part of music and moving forward!
Keep on rocking <3

[VRTechSims]

Man.... that was way better then I expected.
