XANDRIA bringen heute ihr neues Video zur `Live The Tale` Single heraus. Der Song gehört zu ihrer EP “Universal Tales”, die das Symphonic Metal Outfit im November 2024 veröffentlicht hat. Mit dem Video erscheint auch ein Statment der Band, die sich hier für Werte wie Freiheit, Demokratie, Pluralismus bzw. schlicht Menschlichkeit einsetzt.
XANDRIA schreiben:
Live the Tale is about the story humanity once dreamed for itself — imagined by poets, scientists, humanists, and philosophers across the ages. A world built on reason and compassion. On freedom, tolerance, pluralism, democracy and shared progress. A world where knowledge empowers, and technology serves us all. For everyone. Not just a chosen few. But that vision is under threat. Fear, division, and false promises are gaining ground — all around us, and potentially within us. There are those who exploit our darker instincts, speaking to the dark side in us. They rise by fueling hate, simplifying truth, and turning democracy into their tool, eventually into an authoritarian nightmare that only serves the rich and powerful. Civilization takes effort – the effort to resist the dark side, even in ourselves. The effort to overcome the urge to reject what’s different. To resist the temptation to give in to fear, selfishness, or hate – the forces that quietly erode what took generations to build. To stand against selfishness, fear, and the longing for strongmen who flatter our egos and validate that dark side in us, but only for their own gain. We believe the time has come again to stand up for the better story. To live the tale — together. With empathy, with courage, and with hope.

Lyrics:
It’s been a long time since our glory days
And when the water’s rising high up to the sky
Nowhere to run this is the final countdown for us
Now revolution is the only way for us
Whirling, blazing like a torch inside a storm
Find it, find it, all is gone
Deep in the shadows of the world
Of history and life unfurled
We want to see horizon’s end
Reach for the shores of Neverland
Come with me, live the tale
Come with me now, to Neverworld
Come with me, live the tale
Come with me now, to Neverworld
It’s on the verge, we better stand our ground or fall
It’s all or nothing, so we roll the dice once more
Play evolution, for the strongest will win the game
But our idea of „strong“ is clearly not the same
Whirling, blazing like a torch inside a storm
Fight it, fight before it’s gone
Deep in the shadows of the world
Of history and life unfurled
We want to see horizon’s end
Reach for the shores of Neverland
Come with me, live the tale
Come with me now, to Neverworld
Come with me, live the tale
Come with me now, to Neverworld
Live the tale
Live the tale
Come, come with me
Come, come with me
Come, come with me
Come, come with me
Whirling, blazing like a torch inside a storm
Fight it, fight before it’s gone
Deep in the shadows of the world
Of history and life unfurled
We want to see horizon’s end
Reach for the shores of Neverland
Deep in the shadows of the world
Of history and life unfurled
We want to see horizon’s end
Reach for the shores of Neverland
Come with me, live the tale
Come with me now, to Neverworld
Come with me, live the tale
Come with me now, to Neverworld
Live the tale
Come with me and live the tale
