Die multinationale Prog Rock/Metal Supergroup SOEN präsentiert den Titeltrack aus ihrer für den 01. September geplanten neuen Scheibe „Memorial“. Als Auskopplung hatte es schon den Track `Unbreakable´ gegeben und Termine der „Memorial“ Tour im Herbst stehen auch bereits fest.

Drummer Martin Lopez kommentiert den Song:

“It is a song to remind us of the victims of the power games that our so-called leaders play.”

Und Sänger Joel Ekelöf fügt hinzu:

“It’s about PTSD and the effect war has on people like you and me that are sent to kill and die and have to pay that price for the rest of their lives.”

Lyrics:

Stand up straight for the idols’ anthem
Raise our flag and don’t dare to run away
Fight like warriors become the reaper
Killing to keep them in line

When your life is a device to harvest concern
Don’t you tremble
Death will only take a minute

When the war is part of you
Everyone you love will be abandoned
No matter what you do
While the warrior is alive
Kindness and remorse will be deprived
The past will be a lie

Bite your tongue and obey your leader
Troubled paragon swallowed by earth

When the war is part of you
Everyone you love will be abandoned
No matter what you do
While the warrior is alive
Kindness and remorse will be deprived
The past will be a lie

…Memories control your worn soul

Memories hurt us all still we’ll never surrender
The bottle becomes your home and the gun is all you can hear
And if you pretend to save us from our intentions
The scars will remind that pain is a passage we’ll have to cross

When the war is part of you
Everyone you love will be abandoned
No matter what you do
While the warrior is alive
Kindness and remorse will be deprived
The past will be a lie
