Soen - Covenant (Official Video)

"Fear to walk down the aisle, feel the beat as you lead me on.
From the sky to the mire, shame and pride are the seed of harm.
Stand aside from the shadows, set your sight on the vein of life.
Taste the blood of denial, blow the candle with rotten breath.

I am waiting to face the hunter, to feast on my
Flesh, torn asunder.

The sinner will die,
Parading down through the misty light.
He becomes the night,
Upon the sacred and hallowed ground.
Away from the sun, in holy halls within walls,
Where the light won't reach down.
You give your seed to the frail.

Seek advice from the elder, falling down on your knees repent.
Be the crow and the angel, be my curse to the end of time.

Freedom lies in your own desires,
Freedom lives in your will.
Nothing’s left as we’re reaching higher,
Lust is thicker than sin.

The sacred leaves on the trees of hope,
Malice poisons our souls.
A Wicked halo deprived of love,
Slithering to the cross

The sinner will die,
Parading down through the misty light.
He becomes the night,
Upon the sacred and hallowed ground.
Away from the sun, in holy halls within walls,
Where the light won't reach down.
You give your seed to the frail."

Thumbs up to the actor that played the role of the priest. It takes guts to perform such a role...

[Vakan]

It's FASCINATING the way they've managed to deliver such a strong message here without being explicit, just using subtle elements and covering it putting religion as background. There's a double meaning here. After all, Lotus is about seeking, about transformation, but also about resilience. That was powerful.

[eltonsantana]

Lascivious needs a music video! A killer song!

[autumnstar]

Soen, champions for the vulnerable and oppressed. Great music and better human beings.

[arfournier]

Massive album. One of the best, if not the best album released in 2019.

[rogeliorojas]

Potencia al máximo, tuve el placer de verlos en Chile este año y son notables.

Full power, I had the pleasure of seeing them in Chile this year and they are remarkable.

A piena potenza, ho avuto il piacere di vederli in Cile quest'anno e sono notevoli.

Larga Vida a SOEN 🤘🤘🤘

Fear to walk down the aisle
Feel the beat as you lead me on
From the sky to the mire
Shame and pride are the seed of harm
Stand aside from the shadows
Set your sight on the vein of life
Taste the blood of denial
Blow the candle with rotten breath
I am waiting to face the hunter
To feast on my flesh, torn asunder
The sinner will die
Parading down through the misty light
Becomes the night
Upon the sacred and hallowed ground
Away from the sun, in holy halls within walls
Where the light won't reach down
You give your seed to the frail
Seek advice from the elder
Falling down on your knees repent
Be the crow and the angel
Be my curse to the end of time
Freedom lies in your own desires
Freedom lives in your will
(Freedom lies in your own desires)
(Freedom lives in your will)
Nothing's left as we're reaching higher
Lust is thicker than sin
(Nothing's left as we're reaching higher)
(Lust is thicker than sin)
The sacred leaves on the trees of hope
Malice poisons the soul
A wicked halo deprived of love
Slithering to the cross
The sinner will die
Parading down through the misty light
Becomes the night
Upon the sacred and hallowed ground
Away from the sun, in holy halls within walls
Where the light won't reach down
You give your seed to the frail

Got goosebumps from the second part of the chorus, literally their best song in the discography.

[gipek]

this is my favorite song from the album. Im really happy there is an official video for this song because it means you are gonna play it at Istanbul Concert. Also I never imagined this song to be visualized like this. Wow.

[JKang-uuvr]

The chorus of this song is just so mesmerising. I can't stop repeating it in spotify. It gives me goosebumps every single time!

[Karonthe_metal]

This album saved my life. Ive dreamed about being in a Soen concert for years

[tylerjacobson]

What a Wonderful song. One of the first ones where the tool and opeth influence doesn’t kick you in the face. I’m liking the direction here. Fantastic riffs and interesting song writing. Lopez if you read any of these comments, your drumming is absolutely still fucking phenomenal and really stands out here. Don’t give up on this band. You guys have something special going on here. I’m sure mikael is incredibly proud that you’re doing work of this quality after departing from opeth.

[GBcommander]

Best song on the album. That chorus is just too good.

[ximenasantamaria]

Puedo escuchar esta canción N cantidades de veces y siempre me da escalofrío

[johnneiberger]

The mix on this song is absolutely insane. One of the best mixed songs I've heard in a while.

[robertgla]

I saw them live in Berlin last week, they there awesome... so powerful and beautiful at the same time. And Covenant was the opening track.
But Martyrs on stage... just pure perfection.

[I_raragorri]

Just found this group a week ago, and I must admit your music is fantstic, with this song being my favourite. Thank you!

[hamidtube]

Truly, incredible song ...😍😍😍😍 Thanks everyone of Soen 🙏💚💙💛

[midwinterwinds]

My fav album by far this year. There have been some other big releases but nothing that has topped this one. Pure awesomeness.

[onurozsoy]

best song in the album, opening song for the concerts
