Cain's Offering - Antemortem

[@Xtheve]

This is why I love metal.

[@guenhwyvar797]

There's beauty in pain that paints every day With colours that stay and won't fade away In wounds that won't heal, in nightmares too real They tell us that we can still feel In fire we're forged and given a form The harder the hammer the stronger the soul For all of our tears and all of our scars They remind us of who we are One is for the heart we left behind One is for a friend who said to goodbye One is for the love we swore would never die But that was in another lifetime One is for the times we were denied One is for the feelings locked inside One is for the secrets that we've had to hide But that was in another lifetime We might've been kings We might have been pawns We might've been ducklings We might have been swans There's no grand design There's only desire You're either the pearl or the swine For all that we've lost and our every tear The choices we've made have brought us here Everything we are, everything we have We have built from fragments One is for the heart we left behind One is for a friend who said to goodbye One is for the love we swore would never die But that was in another lifetime One is for the times we were denied One is for the feelings locked inside One is for the secrets that we've had to hide But that was in another lifetime But that was in another lifetime Please believe in me Because the man you see is not the man I used to be We may always be alone and broken But we have survived, we are alive Please believe in me Because the man you see is not the man I used to be We may always be alone and broken But we have survived, we are alive One is for the heart we left behind One is for a friend who said to goodbye One is for the love we swore would never die But that was in another lifetime One is for the times we were denied One is for the feelings locked inside One is for the secrets that we've had to hide But that was in another lifetime One is for the heart we left behind One is for a friend who said to goodbye One is for the love we swore would never die But that was in another lifetime One is for the times we were denied One is for the feelings locked inside One is for the secrets that we've had to hide But that was in another lifetime

[@edderiofer]

+Guenhwyvar The last 8 lines of your lyrics appear to be wrong, but the backing vocals are difficult to make out.

[@luc4aa]

+edderiofer Time after time, people(?) try just to feel my _______ And we fight, and we rise every time we fall to the ground ________ we leave behind. Oh that was in another lifetime. Or something like that :P

[@gagekieffer772]

Time after time we will try just to fail once more, and we fight and we rise every time we fall to the ground, (We will have?) everything we leave behind, oh that was in another lifetime I will edit later to correct myself if need be

[@balthiermonochrome2876]

@@gagekieffer772 I think you're right. I listened to it a couple times and that's what I got.

[@reizel_sr2014]

I think this is almost right, yeah. The last line I think it's: Look around, everything we're leaving behind, oh that was in another lifetime

[@lenax7073]

I came across this song a year ago and loved it, listened it for a whole month. Then lost it out of sight. 3 hours ago I heard myself say "pearls before the swines" and I remembered this song. I had no clue anymore who sang it, no clue what the rest of the lyrics was (and the one line I had, was wrong!), I had no idea about a title and my head kept telling me "amorphis". It took me 45 minutes of browsing both the web on "lyrics per band"; browsing youtube on suggestions by listening to songs that I listened around the same period and the metal encyclopedia on alpabeth to find this back! I am in love and nothing, not a list of 10 000 bands; is stopping me of listening it when I want to. (Better buy the album this year)

[@dvg1985]

Jani is quite a song writer, very talented. So under-rated.

[@gabbrielviera]

One is for the times we were denied One is for the feelings locked inside One is for the secrets that we've had to hide But that was in another lifetime.... ♪♪♫

[@Roby_War]

The riff is similar to storytime by nightwish; but not bad!

[@thepowermetaleinherjar4373]

666superrob Noticed that too! Big fan of Storytime so I don't mind

[@Chris-jo1zr]

666superrob I thought myself that this was a better Nightwish song than Nightwish have done in a long time.

[@Athan0503]

+666superrob "Similar" has got to be an understatement. Let's call it extremely inspired ^^ Sounds like Storytime 2.0 or some sort of intentional mesh of Cain's Offering and Nightwish

[@osoplumoso]

mmm "shudder before the beatiful" too

Nice and perfekt Musik God Work Boys....Respekt

[@AmbassadorArt2]

incredibly artistic lyrics. love it

[@Wysperr]

I'm in love. This band is freakin' great.

[@johnnyanastasiou9274]

Waiting to long to hear something new from Cain's sounds cool :)

[@Pagnah]

One word: EPIC

[@dvg1985]

Jani, goddamn it Such great compositions...

[@TheatreofSymphony]

Nightwish had a child...

[@MetalUnitesPeopleOfficial]

I wish that this album would be on Spotify, and not only "Gather the Faithful". It's a shame :/

[@DEATHMASKEDFY]

MetalUnitesPeople That is because this album are not relased yet :)

[@MetalUnitesPeopleOfficial]

Toño Castro Well, that's what I meant :p It's a shame, because I can't listen to this when I am in my car or at work. I could've if this would be on Spotify, since I use Spotify offline :)

[@DEATHMASKEDFY]

I can do that, I got the preorder and download at least 3 songs in my Ipod jeje, can´t wait for the whole album and destroy my car audio!

[@MetalUnitesPeopleOfficial]

***** I've heard only one song. I constantly use Spotify and if I deem the artist/band worthy, then I will buy the album. I have more than 150 albums, but I can't just go on buying every single one I hear. With 3150 songs on Spotify... Well, you get the drill...

[@HandOfMetal]

MetalUnitesPeople It's on Spotify now if you haven't yet realized! :)

[@mori6318]

Omg this song is awesome

[@LadyHolyKnight]

Lyrics for reference: There's beauty in pain that paints every day With colours that stay and won't fade away In wounds that won't heal, in nightmares too real They tell us that we can still feel In fire we're forged and given a form The harder the hammer the stronger the soul For all of our tears and all of our scars They remind us of who we are One is for the heart we left behind One is for a friend who said to goodbye One is for the love we swore would never die But that was in another lifetime One is for the times we were denied One is for the feelings locked inside One is for the secrets that we've had to hide But that was in another lifetime We might've been kings We might have been pawns We might've been ducklings We might have been swans There's no grand design There's only desire You're either the pearl or the swine For all that we've lost and our every tear The choices we've made have brought us here Everything we are, everything we have We have built from fragments One is for the heart we left behind One is for a friend who said to goodbye One is for the love we swore would never die But that was in another lifetime One is for the times we were denied One is for the feelings locked inside One is for the secrets that we've had to hide But that was in another lifetime But that was in another lifetime Please believe in me Because the man you see is not the man I used to be We may always be alone and broken But we have survived, we are alive Please believe in me Because the man you see is not the man I used to be We may always be alone and broken But we have survived, we are alive One is for the heart we left behind One is for a friend who said to goodbye One is for the love we swore would never die But that was in another lifetime One is for the times we were denied One is for the feelings locked inside One is for the secrets that we've had to hide But that was in another lifetime One is for the heart we left behind One is for a friend who said to goodbye One is for the love we swore would never die But that was in another lifetime One is for the times we were denied One is for the feelings locked inside One is for the secrets that we've had to hide But that was in another lifetime

[@Elrimo90]

This one is outstanding!

[@JoelRdz]

Sounds like Nightwish, it's amazing!

[@katzparov]

Joel Rdz This band is from Finland. The lead singer is Timo Kotipelto who is also the lead singer of Stratovarius.

[@JoelRdz]

I know the background of all the members, thank you, I just said that this song particullary sounds like NW riffs and keyboards :)

[@sausagefinger12]

Hope not. This is the band where Kotipelto belongs.

[@bobkemp5882]

The Dark Element brought me here.

[@alevd14]

Best song in the album

[@shaunhamilton8217]

Pretty good. Reminds me of Kamelot a bit.

[@KiberGnida]

My favorite!!!

[@lekalla]

I am the voice of never, never land...

[@marianobeuses]

Long Live Internet!

[@smiljanicn]

Antti: "Страшные финские музыканты пьют водку, ээээ." than this mighty riff starts!

[@Rockinwithloz]

I wonder why Timo sings better here than he has in Strato in years.

[@vin4679]

Exactly what i thought, for some reason his tone sounds so much better, different as well, and the lyrics and melodies just go so well with his voice

[@chokevic]

powerful.

[@steffelaar]

I find it so weird that the riff is a complete copy of nightwish, the question is who is the copy? Or did two insane genius composers came up with the same riff a week after each other, none the less an amazing song and one of the best albums of 2015 to me

[@thepowermetaleinherjar4373]

#Steffelaar # Storytime is a song from 2011 while this song was just released. I don't know if it's a coincidence... but if not then Storytime came first :P

[@pilotamurorei]

The Power Metal Einherjar The sad thing is, this sounds better than the new Nightwish album. Jani may or may not have copied Storytime, but this blows away anything on Endless Forms.

[@katzparov]

pilotamurorei This band is from Finland. The lead singer is Timo Kotipelto who is also the lead singer of Stratovarius.

[@katzparov]

The Power Metal Einherjar This band is from Finland. The lead singer is Timo Kotipelto who is also the lead singer of Stratovarius.

[@thepowermetaleinherjar4373]

pilotamurorei I didn't enjoy EFMB either. I like the new vocalist Floor Jansen but she was totally under-utilized

[@metal21doomned]

FUCKIN AMAZING

[@Vector12345t]

1:12 Is it me or this sound like Umbrella, by Rhianna?

[@Wormweed]

I was just listening to this, since i own the album. And i wanted to go here to see if i was the only one who thought it was almost a Nightwish copy. I do like the the song though, just sounds like Nightwish (apart from the vocals).

[@vlent_rectn]

Sounds like Shudder Before the Beautiful by Nightwish. But this song is awesome nonetheless!

[@odinzan]

If anyone has played Fire Emblem Three Houses, this is a good theme song for Dimitri

[@raulbecerrilmartinez4227]

The beast/,,/

[@deanejeffery]

Is there any other songs of theirs that sounds like Nightwish. hahaha. I want to know.

[@thepowermetaleinherjar4373]

Not to the same extent as this song. The rest of their songs are more similar to Stratovarius than Nightwish

[@deanejeffery]

+The Power Metal Einherjar I have been searching for songs like this but with male vocalist. Kamelot is the closest one. Symphonic metal with a lil bit of power metal. Not too power metal. Do you know any other band?

[@thepowermetaleinherjar4373]

You could try some of these: - Serious Black: kzbin.info/www/bejne/injYZKmkitNobdE - Sonata Arctica: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHnEeWutjLOZhNk - Secret Sphere: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3PJopR_pLeSiLc I've also got a symphonic power metal compilation, should be of interest: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hnmydJ6Hf7B-aMU

[@Saanamuruuu]

yea this really sounds little bit like nightwish

[@trancos9957]

04:49

[@gravenwolf6535]

Singer sounds like Timo Kotipelto.

[@gonzalobarbaran5320]

Judiel Gonzalez because the singer is actually Timo

[@terminhaider9695]

Yep, a supergroup of members from Sonata Arctica and Stratovarius

[@RafaelBorba-mj2cw]

kkkkkk oh man serius? this is Timo!

[@andresleoncervera1018]

Shit just got real.

[@enablechaos6344]

Lyrics are kinda cringe but the instrumentals slap so hard that you just gotta love it

[@idlemessiah]

So it sounds like Nightwish. I like Nightwish. This is not a problem.

[@ancalagon1919]

what kind of Nightwish is this!!??

[@POTIS1]

IM 130-0....AND THAT SAYS EVERYTHING!

[@marcomanowar623]

+POTIS1 164 Hhhh

[@bloodlungz]

+POTIS1 I'm baptized in fire 40-1

[@POTIS1]

+bloodlungz YOU BAPTIZED THE DAY OF SABBATON?...:)

[@mori6318]

Whats better? This or constellation of tears?

[@rayancedric2850]

Uma das poucas bandas que ainda fazem um metal melódico decente. Stratovarius está totalmente progressivo e chato, não tem mais músicas empolgantes com antes.

[@britishlegender8422]

[@RammmFan]

this is totally Anetter Olzon type of song)

[@amberhernandez]

This is low HP music for an anime protagonist, cmv

[@ivanpopov1321]

e boy final lu 3 season

[@YeahThrashMaster]

Man I was so fucking hyped when this song started, and then that guy started singing...

[@hero3250]

The vocals are my favorite part.

[@sirspookybones1118]

Power metal vocals on a symphonic power metal song, naaah

[@Evorain]

It will never sound better than Nightwish :))

[@charlyw.9920]

nightwish ??????

[@charlyw.9920]

copia de la canción storytime de nightwish

[@ellelawliet6642]

I don't like the mixing in this album

[@WingedMaster]

Rt. It's a shame because the songs are so fucking great. Gather the Faithful has a better sound
