Lyrics: The Smoke of Many Fires
[Instrumental]
[Verse]
The river had brought with it much that day
From driftwood to blood from the ember
Some things were hidden
While others were seen
Yet the man somehow could not remember…
Having ambled away from the water's banks
To return to his tribe and their lights
He soon found a failing
Of flesh, and of mind -
They were no longer robust or bright
[Bridge]
What he could not have seen
Was the sickness upstream;
Those abandoned remains of the wasted
[Verse]
What he could not have seen
Was the sickness upstream;
Those abandoned remains of the wasted
What he could not have known
Was the blight of the bone
In each ebb and each flow he had tasted
Dawn found him ailing, delirium rife
Those he loved feared his illness would wander
With time wearing thin
His young eyes clouded in
As the odour of smoke became stronger
It was then that he heard the sharp crackle of torches
Carried past him by men from his clan
A panic cut through
All the life that he knew
It was over before it began
Rope looped his wrists and held tight to his veins
As beside him his relatives sagged
And with tears in their eyes
Through confusion and cries
Out towards the wild flames he was dragged
Like billions before him, regardless of form
It ended as chance had decided
So briefly contained
An inferno's refrain
Having powered and angered and guided
At the heart of the blaze, awareness dissolved
Light ascended devoid of desire
From a trail intertwined
Life and death strewn behind
To the stars, it returned, from the fire

Be'lakor is outstanding. Been a fan of them since meeting George Kosmas at a subway stop in Melbourne Australia back in 2009

[@KingMondoWWM]

Oh that's amazing. They're great people - I've messaged them over FB a few times.

[@Assdafflabaff]

That's awesome. Such legendary music made by some average Australian blokes. Top tier!

[@damiengrief]

Be'lakor is the best melodeath band today. Soo good. Love this video. This album was actually a concept album that tells a story and this is the last track on the album. My favorite off of it, but the whole album is incredible.

[@oksidum]

Guys, please react to Be'lakor - An Ember's Arc song. That's their another masterpiece, as great as Countless Skies! Can't wait for your live interview.

[@Fragua22]

Spot on, Pedro, your comment is right about the story and the song itself!. Amazing song for an amazing band, they deserve more views and worldwide recognition.

[@WanderingSoulsWebzine]

Fantastic song, fantastic album!

[@davestrong4487]

I can't express enough anywhere how good these dudes are. I cannot and WILL NOT name a shitty track from this band because one doesn't exist. I am now deliberately watching through people's reactions to them. It's super refreshing to see them finally getting their deserved recognition, and the more guys doing their reactions and others watching will do that just fine. 10 or 11 years now or so of them being quite hidden gems, who are now shiny fu***ng diamonds!!

[@tennyelbenny3694]

Be'lakor rule!

[@allenschmucker8323]

I wish you guys would make Be'lakor a weekly or biweekly reaction. With Wintersun gone you need another band to do regularly. One that we can all look forward too and Be'lakor is one of the best out there.

[@APREACTS]

We do Sabaton bi-weekly and Nightwish as well. ;-) It is hard to commit to it. So many new videos we want to check out, plus requests and older stuff....just not enough time to commit to it. So we will just sprinkler some here and there.

[@allenschmucker8323]

Understand thanks for the quick reply

[@Homerlovesbeer2]

Allen Schmucker yea that would be great although the lack of videos by Belakor would be an issue.

[@elbe8322]

Excellent song

[@AntonTati]

You should react to the brand new Amorphis song "The Bee"! It's brilliant!

[@tonywu7298]

Yeah this song is phenomenal!

[@jthomashair]

I came here to say the same thing! kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpfCZaisrtKqiNk

[@jamiewalton666]

Hell yes been waiting ages for you to do this one.An amazing song gets better with every listen.The story telling and the way it progresses is incredible.That melody in the last part when the drums kick in gives me goosebumps every time.Great reaction guys so glad you enjoyed it and i will be listening to the interview live cant bloody wait😀

[@APREACTS]

9pm EST Toronto on Saturday. Live stream on FB page and later uploaded to KZbin.

[@jthomashair]

Ok, that was pretty epic. Best Be'lakor song I've heard yet.

[@darkliquid6388]

The whole album is a story from beginning to to end about the vessel's of life and death. One of my favorite melodic death metal bands of all time.

[@Epic_Ahmed]

To sum all your talk. This is a masterpiece period.

[@benzskyeshxc96]

Do an ember arc by them!

[@rosxjun]

This channel is a real hidden gem! I was looking up videos how to correctly pronounce Be'lakor and stumbled on this one. Really love the dynamic between you and your son! I wish my son was into metal but then again he's 11 so maybe I'll introduce when he hits his teens. New sub!! 💓

[@Orakeletiullsokken]

Glad you did this one, Be'lakor is something to behold! Please do Eye of the enemy - The shift, they are also australian. Melodeath/groove, and have supported Be'lakor on occasion.

[@Imaginathor-1k0]

This band never fail 2 impress me

[@andybrett1152]

Be"lakor album out in October cant wait !!

[@EvolutionIX219]

100% worth the wait. Incredible album

[@realtsarbomba]

Great choice from an unbelievable band, but you guys still haven't reacted to 'Moonsorrow' which was supposed to be on a list in December 2017

[@Juhid]

Been waiting and waiting and...

[@hopelessreaper666]

Raunioilla or Jotunheim would be great choices. Hope they don't do Suden Tunti just because of the fact, that it has a music video :D

[@Juhid]

Well its not like Suden Tunti is a bad idea considering it has alot of musical aspects from all the years of Moonsorrow's style. Jotunheim would be the best choice. Sankarihauta also has a video but i think the song is a bad choice to know Moonsorrow.

[@allugoespvp9331]

I've asked moonsorrow too :D

[@georgedan9996]

Guys. I have just seen Insomnium live yesterday. Get ready for a blast when you see them. And reactions aside, do your homework and check out their Winter's Gate concept album before the show! Enjoy! And react to Arkona!

[@georgedan9996]

John Moyle I'll make sure to check out Be'lakor! Sounds promising!

[@darktranquillitea939]

Arkona \m/ And yeah, Insomnium live is amazing, also is Winters Gate. Totally worth the time for one Song xD

[@PancakeInvaders]

Be'Lakor have awesome lyrics, "An Ember's Arc" is about the birth of the sun and it's just beautiful. Insomnium does too, "Ephemeral" and "Weather The Storm" are really inspiring to me

[@rattlehead1816]

Great epic song, cmon guys “ claim the throne “ Aussie melodic death/folk metal

[@hentai343]

This band is amazing

[@MaxStone289]

I really liked this album and after reading comments I know it's a concept album. I also liked Roots to Sever, I think you should check it out.

[@dan-lv8ss]

I like Be'lakor so mutch !! Just brilliant ! Have you ever heard Throes Of Dawn - Vertigo ?

[@hellgonwheels8799]

You have to listen to the album as a whole. To me it has the same feel as Winter’s Gate. The songs flow over to each other

[@SeThCorttus]

Hey Guys! I really love this song and exactly as you said, love that atmosphere as a soundtrack of the story. Anyway the story is deep and filled with darkness, and all the parts are just like you said many faces of fire. Thanks for nice reaction! Cya!

[@Homerlovesbeer2]

Fantastic to see you guys playing this song. Like others here have said, Be'lakor - Vessels is a fantastic album. As you guys discovered, Smoke of Many Fires is quite an intricate piece that tells a great story with many changes to reflect the narrative. I've had chats with band and they personally told me that it's their own favourite on Vessels. I've also just watched the Parkway Drive "The void" reaction which paled in comparison to Smoke Of Many Fires. The void just came across as soft, generic, formulaic and pretty mundane, bland, nothing special which is a shame. Parkway Drive, for me, have lost what made them special and are not a shadow of their old albums such as "Killing with a Smile" and "Horizons". Unfortunately I'm not really a PD fan anymore and sadly their new stuff doesn't seem any better. I am really looking forward to the Be'lakor interview with Steve Merry. See if you can prise some samples of their new album out of him 😉

[@celestialcolosseum]

HELL YEAH! I've been waiting for this!!

[@bengagnon2894]

This is a progressive masterpiece. You really need to listen to Omnium Gatherum (which will play in september with Amorphis)!

[@APREACTS]

We have done one of their videos but we will get around to do more this summer as the show approaches.

[@bengagnon2894]

A&P-REACTS Oh yeah, that's right. Forgot about that one! I'm going at the same show but in Montreal, one day after or before you. It's gonna be awesome!

[@millop62495]

Another awesome vid of an awesome band. Thanks guys and also just gonna throw out a quick recommendation F-22 by Nylithia

[@chrissouth4353]

Inferi - Behold The Bearer Of Light

[@Максим-й9ю8ы]

[@darktranquillitea939]

Guys, you HAVE to check out the new Amorphis Song "The Bee". It is fucking amazing

[@Miguel-ei5qq]

Good one! Please react to Sun´s Delusion

[@ItsNihil]

Seeing as how you guys like Australian metal bands, have you ever heard of Make them Suffer. They're kinda like their own genre of death metal, it's pretty cool and different.

[@lou3ezz]

great song ! :D I think you should react to one of Myrath's live songs !!! it's soo original

[@shanefoleyyyyy]

Abiogenisis - Visualize!

[@SledgehammerDudeAUT]

Guys you should check out Saw or Redfog from Orbit Culture. Melodic Death Groove from Sweden. They are heavy and groovy like hell and far too unknown ;)

[@coreyreabe1022]

Malevolence- self supremacy

[@moss.neobisid]

[@TheLukieBoi1]

Rotting Christ!!! or a different Australian band called Vallhalore with a song called Guardians Of Time

[@Mustaerkki]

I watched a flight accident documentary yesterday that happened ´96! The plane started to burn of some wrong packaged helium oxygen bottles that pilots sign to transport! It started to burn very hot after the lifting, so hot the pressure chamber room didn´t hold so the whole plane burned down, over 100 people died!
