The bells of the end toll to remind, melts away like snow in the spring
At your back you ll always hear, so brief is the time Light, hear these words i say
The bells of the end toll to remind, for brief is the time
The faster you run the closer it comes, for brief is the time
Each funeral just makes us realize, hear these words i say The, make the most out of your day
at your back you ll always hear
The bells again someone has died, hear these words i say
Each funeral just makes us realize, so brief is the time
At your back you ll always hear, hear these words, that life s but a series of goodbyes
That life s but a race against time, that we re allowed to stay
So brief is the time, for brief is the light on our way
make the most out of your day
The faster you run the closer it comes, each funeral just makes us realize
On this momentary trail, melts away like snow in the spring
The chariot of time hurrying near, for brief is the time
For brief is the time, that life s but a series of goodbyes Light, so brief is the time
Hear these words, melts away like snow in the spring, on this momentary trail
on this momentary trail
For brief is the time, the faster you run the closer it comes Sentenced, on this momentary trail
We all are blind to the running of time, the bells again someone has died, for brief is the time
make the most out of your day
On this momentary trail, on this momentary trail
for brief is the light on our way
hear these words
Life passes by, at your back you ll always hear
Yours or mine, that we re allowed to stay Brief, so brief is the time
So brief is the time, a pursuer you can not outrun
Yours or mine, the chariot of time hurrying near
Hear these words, make the most out of your day
A pursuer you can not outrun, the faster you run the closer it comes, whose turn this time
I love this song, along with farewell and killing me kiling you, that last one actually the video made me cry, and i'm a tough motherfucker. But hey, behind every metalhead there s a sweet man, lol
Sentenced's best album and one of the best tunes from it. Fantastic. Mellow and longing. Makes you realize life is short. Hopefully good while it lasts. No guarantees. I have known of this album since 2008 and still listen.
That's weird! It really didn't show up before.
Anyway, the only reason it gets stuck into a corner is because there is no absolute definition of music, because music is mostly subjective. It really doesn't matter what you're arguing about when it comes to music, that usually is the result in any case. The real point is... ALL musical related arguments are usually pointless, but at least it's not the same old boring as shit comments. That's all I meant!
No problem bro! Just for the record, I agree with you, even though I'm not going to change it. I actually like the fact that my video description invites discussion, even though some of the comments are negative.
Actually it makes a lot of sense! If I would have just said melodic metal, that's more vague than specific. Melodic metal has more sub-categories than Gothic does by far. Plus, in nearly every reference to Sentenced I could find, they described them as Gothic metal. So as far as internet references goes, that is generally the consensus.
It's just the sound they happen to use, that's all. If it's not gothic metal, it's very similar to it. The lyrics themselves are more like doom metal or DSBM lyrics, but Doom and DSBM have their own unique sound as well.
It's true, some bands are harder to classify than others. Sentenced is one of those bands, but it does have a distinctive sound that is comparable to Gothic metal. Not all of their music obviously, but the majority of their later stuff yes.
goth or not, this is one of my favorite albums. i always found the melodies and songwriting very gripping and emotional, and that is only amplified now that i hear of miika's passing. RIP and thanks for sharing your genius.
"Hear these words, awake:
Make the most out of your day
For brief is the time, so brief is the time
that we´re allowed to stay!
Everyone should remember that
