LYRICS:
A fallen time that's bygone
A crude elite that's from a distant zone
You turn a blind eye on what's "brave"
You don't know if it's the truth you told
Anger looks on the quiet dreaming
Seals the sense incandescent ones
Hold back desire for danger
A bet you lose, you'll have no way to turn
I see a man who lives and breathes corruption
Into a circle that you call your own
Don't run away, from the pain
A claim that you deal with
A power game, from within
Impossible for you to see this
Laid down the laws of deceit
The ones who cherish are the ones who'll go
Into the ashes of a tortured world
Only in mind's eye can you see a light
Harmony breaks, dark awakes
In old eyes, the trouble, feel it
Here to stay, mark the way
Improvise the judgment hearing
Don’t run away, from the pain
A claim that you deal with
A power game, from within
Impossible for you to see this
Anger looks on the quiet dreaming
Seals the sense incandescent ones
All remains of the glowing embers
Is a bleak cold irrelevance

Greg still killing that solo One of the most underrated guitar players ever. The man has written countless memorable riffs and melodies

[@noseishin]

He is a guitar God.

[@brendanw6080]

That's why I prefer feel over technicality.

[@fleshesposito]

I like his style, it always serves the song and not his ego.

[@NonsensicalReality]

​@@brendanw6080absolutely! Also why Gary Moore was such a legend

[@NonsensicalReality]

@@fleshesposito I always strive for that too when writing music. Nergal from Behemoth was a big inspiration. I remember him saying the song before ego too on one of their behind the music videos.

[@FedericoPedemonte]

I loved it 30 years ago, I still love it today

[@k2vaja00]

Same!

[@ilves6664]

See this band live 1994 in Finland Tavastia Helsinki. Still kicking Ass. Icon is legend album this band discography i think 😮

[@dimosvosinakis1723]

Great song. Both "Icon" and "Draconian Times" are 2 of the best metal albums of the 90s. A wonderful mix of Metallica, Iron Maiden and Sisters of Mercy but at the same time such an intense musical imprint that seems so fresh 30 years later.

[@CristianYans]

One of the things I love most about this band is that they always took risks, they always took the path they wanted to take and they've always done it very well. How beautiful it is to be able to have both versions. How nice to have a vision of the band 30 years later. Thank you Paradise Lost. Here a fan from 30 years ago

[@ilves6664]

Me Too..Early 90's..Icon is classic album.

[@vonmeier]

Funny how their most criticised albums aged really well for me. My kind of snobbish, elitist young self always tried to avoid "Host" and "Believe in Nothing" but one year after seeing them live and listening to "The Anatomy of Melancholy" for weeks non-stop I got to really love all their works eventually, making Paradise Lost one of my most important, beloved bands.

[@maverickhunters1403]

Esatto.Nel bene e nel male hanno voluto cambiare,scegliere altre influenze per arricchire e rendere viva la loro musica.Il Materiale dei loro dischi è molto bello.I miei preferiti sono Draconina Times,One Second,symbol of live ,Faith united...e Tragic Idol

[@Assdafflabaff]

@@vonmeier We always "know better" when we're young, don't we?

[@vonmeier]

@@Assdafflabaff Haha, yes.

[@karlhinkelstein6130]

It's very interesting to see that Nick can still manage this vocal range!

[@mysilentwake]

Better I would say - pitch sounds spot on.

[@Trikipum]

He had to suffer a lot doing this record. He already have said he had to abandon this style of vocals because they were literally killing his voice. For him, it is soft or super strong vocals, like the strong vocals in their last albums, the raspy ones are very taxing.,

[@11bg00]

@@Trikipum The Shades of God/ Icon/ Draconian Times vocals are my favorite, so its unfortunate he had to abandon that style. I know some people say he sounded off key in those albums, but he also sounded more emotive than on other albums, but while still keeping it somewhat harsh. I understand why he had move away from that though.

[@Michael_Michaels]

I'm from a time when his very voice produced a lot of backlash from public opinion. Funny how things change...

[@mysilentwake]

@@Michael_Michaels Same. At the end of the day, variety is a good thing and PL have certainly given us that!

[@pacingBlue]

"All remains of the glowing embers Is a bleak cold irrelevance" How powerful and truthful words, for people who have lived passionately to see their flame trembling to depression or relinquishment...

[@alejotm000]

I wish they recorded a new album with these vibes and these same vocals

[@Aenigmakil]

As long as they don't get rid of the growls, then I'm with you! Going from growls to this, nice!!!

[@maverickhunters1403]

Io non ho digerito host del 99 e l'ultimo.Ma rimangono bravissimi quando si tratta di doom ,gotic e metal 90❤

[@serkanakdagli6255]

they did.

[@DyingSlow]

Obsidian and the plague within are up there in my opinion

[@Zombiefied666]

Icon was my first Paradise Lost album back in the day. This new version sounds as awesome and powerful as the original one. Can’t wait to listen to my favorite songs, Joys of the Emptiness, Colossal Rains, True Belief and Christendom.

[@elita2cents]

Was my second. I got "Shades of God" a few months earlier and loved it. Man, I was still in high school when I waited for the delivery man to bring me the album. Back then, we used to have disc players and I couldn't to feed my stereo with the new album. Don't tell me, it has been 30 years already.

[@El-Villano-De-La-Pelicula]

what a voice.😮 What a band🤘

[@vacantplanet]

The sound of my youth. Thank you PL for still being around and active

[@Nekrist666]

Nick's voice is incredible in this one! As powerful as back in the days. 🖤

[@danb5944]

This bought me back too those decades ago as a young teenager..this was a huge album for me at that time and this song was always the highlight..

[@aljoy5447]

Спасибо вам за всё, одна из любимых групп у меня и моего отца.

[@bepkororoti2559]

Icon is unparalleled. the album with a soul , the kind that lifts yoou away from this realm, what every true music should do...bless crossing fingers to hear true belief soon

[@danek1510]

A song that has kept me alive in the darkest days of my life!

[@OsitoCharrua]

Come on man, want to hear the new True Belief!

[@eamfos]

Me too...Fantastic song !!

[@Moshpatrol]

So many great memories when listening to this. My first concert ever was Paradise Lost + Crowbar on the Icon tour '94. Of course they started with Embers Fire (after the Dead can Dance intro) and then it was just one big happy headbang-, crowdsurf and mosh-fest. Perhaps still my favorite PL record 'til this day.

[@tibor820]

they co-pl-te-ly sold out after the chaos ad / icon tour really, but okay

[@tibic636]

30 years, time flyes so fast.... but yeah, this sounds so fresh and good. Greg was spot on the solo, very sharp. And Nick.... well, what can you about this man and his great voice that wasn't said yet?

[@MostEpicDream]

That song was and is a masterpiece!

[@jaceksurdyk236]

After 30 years... this 'Solo' still deadly !..lovely!🤘🤘🤘

[@jiena001]

Bloody hell the vocals are fucking impressive. A round of applause to Nick Holmes. Well done, Sir!

What a song. Waiting waiting!

This was the first song I learned to play on the guitar, and I still play it to this day. That's why it has a special meaning for me. I love this song, and this new version is damn great! Thank you, Paradise Lost! ❤🤘🍻

[@Disruptor23]

[@RobsonFormigaAndrade]

Myself ro my son, few minutes ago: It's too late to write to you, but I heard a song just now, which reminded me of my teenage depression. Embers Fire, by Paradise Lost, from the 1993 album Icon. In 1993, I was 16 years old. I didn't fit in with anyone, and I was bullied at school. But I discovered heavy metal. Ozzy Osbourne, Iron Maiden, and my favorite band, Paradise Lost. This month, they are re-releasing Icon 30 years, they have re-recorded it in its entirety. In 2006, I had the chance to participate in a PL press conference, and my only question was about what the lyrics meant to the writer. And he told me: nothing, it's just escapism. I think he tricked me. I'm still amazed, to this day, how deep Icon's lyrics are. They saved me, in a world without internet. In 2000, I got my PL tattoo. After I was ready, I thought: what if they disappoint me one day? Until today, 2023, this has never happened. I'm there in this song, to this day.

[@projectzed5766]

Blimey is it 30 years since i bought the original ......Time flies

[@bradzillarocks]

This album was very impactful on me as a lad and it's nice to hear the new versions aren't trying to be something the original versions never were, just an update and a reflection. I gotta hear how "Remembrance" sounds.

[@beauzammusic]

Wow can't believe how good this sounds

[@mariluztoro9616]

great new version. this was the first song that heared of paradise lost. ¡¡¡GREAT BAND!!! 👊👊👊

[@evgeniyregener8796]

[@arthur071169]

Excellent production, the drums have space to breathe and really shine through. Nick sound on top form and after all these years faithful to the original. Looking forward to the 1st spin when the Vinyl arrives.

[@edsonandrade.person]

Well, I prefer the old guitars. Also, the bass is kinda missing on this one. But still a great and beautiful work, with a lot of passion. I'm impressed with Nick's vocals, did not expect the same approach of the original, since now he performs this song live with a cleaner tone. Really amazing

[@11bg00]

Yeah, the guitars on the original version were better. It sounded very 90s, in a good way. Modern metal guitars seem to sound less dynamic somehow, even if the production value is better.

[@richardkeenahan3803]

I do t mind the guitars, it’s the drums but I think that’s down to my brain expects the original drum sound. Great recording though and I’ll look forward to the album

[@edsonandrade.person]

Yeah, I think there is a nostalgic factor for us that love the band since the 90s. But, trying to be more objective, I think the thing that I'm missing in the guitars are those delays and kinda "wet" and atmospheric sound that made me fall in love with PL music in the first place. I get that the new guitars are heavier, but I personally think the strong aspects of Icon are the melody and the atmosphere.

[@4stringrr78]

Why rerecord it? The original sounds amazing especially the drums so heavy on the hits , they slap hard on the room reverb, snare , cymbals etc….

[@richardkeenahan3803]

@@4stringrr78 the band don’t have the rights to the album. By re-recording it they take control of their music back

[@Yinsight]

Take my money already! See ya soon in Portugal.

[@jimikendrikexperience]

I can't believe my ears! Sounds almost exactly like the original. Always hated the idea of re-recording the classics but hands down on this, it's amazing, the first one re-recording I've really enjoyed. Cheers!

Timeless. Period.

[@MH_thesimsfreeplay667]

[@DaleLyons31]

Just closed my eyes, put headphones on and wished it would be somewhere in the ballpark of the 1993 original. "This can't be! This is absolutely amazing!" It felt great hearing this all-time classic from the incredible "Icon" refreshed and sounding very 2023 (but also showing deep respect for the original). This is great.

[@iloveloam276]

WOW. What a song. Loved it 30 years ago, love it more now. Paradise Lost for life.

[@The_Original_Homeboy]

The only album I cannot get into. Every so often I revisit it hoping it clicks, but nothing.

[@ireallydontcareabouthandles]

@@The_Original_Homeboy It's probably the production, it took me years to settle into Shades of God because of it. Now I think it's arguably their most consistently well written album, but the mix is VERY different from pretty much anything else in their career and that, alongside Nick's screamed/sung vocals, give it a bit of a growing pains feeling coming off of Gothic. But damn, the songs in their own right are good.
