Atreyu - The Remembrance Ballad Lyrics






These days are closing in
The end has become apparent
We're only here for so long
Will anyone remember my name
When time has washed away the dust of our ashes
When my head rests in a velvet lined casket
What's out there?
What is my eternal fate?
And it only just recently hit me
That this life is just a state
Mortality fading, like the innocence of love
I'm scared to death of what's to become

Of my immortal soul of this eternal flame
Will you remember?
Will your heart sing with pain?
Who calls out my name?
And tell me what happens
When my eyes close for the last time
Does it all simply end in a blanket of darkness
And what of my soul, what of my soul?

All those things that you couldn't say
You should've said
All those I-love-you's lost
Weighed more like lead on your chest

All those things that you couldn't say
You should've said
All those I-love-you's lost
Weighed more like lead on your chest, what of

Of my immortal soul of this eternal flame
Will you remember?
Will your heart sing with pain?
Who calls out my name?
And tell me what happens
When my eyes close for the last time
Does it all simply end in a blanket of darkness
And what of my soul, what of my soul?

[Guitar solo]

If I could take back all those misspent days
Every second of anger, I would wash my sins away!

Who calls out my name?
And tell me what happens
When my eyes close for the last time
Does it all simply end in a blanket of darkness
And what of my soul, what of my soul?

[Repeat previous stanza]

    Reminds me of my transition into junior high. Saying goodbye to kids I'd never speak to again. And just seeing their faces in the hallway the following year.

  3. G.... B....

    Watching this song lose in the poll to Her Portrait in Black currently.
    Kinda wanna cry lol.

    G.... B....

    I know.....I really wanted The Rememberance Ballad to pull through. I did get to hear this song live in Detroit 11 months ago, but I would have loved to hear it again on the 20 Year Anniversary Tour.

    G.... B....

    @Shark511151 I'm actually on my way to their show right now!! Still sad about this song not making it, but maybe when I see them again it'll get played hopefully!

    I'm pretty picky when it comes to music and I think they are still a good group from the 2000's....love the first two albums and some of the songs from their later albums.

  14. D.... H....

    Atreyu is amazing AF!!

    Vitamin string quartet

    B.... C....

    Thank you!

  33. M.... ....

    This song makes me realize that regardless if we do end up taking things for granted in this world or vice versa, there will come a time when that black curtain closes and nothing will matter anymore. That inevitable ending of existence will happen, and every effort of man will be undone. The Rememberance Ballad just has that ability to make you wonder if there's anything to look forward to or if it will all be void. That is why this is one of my top favourite songs by Atreyu.

    M.... ....

    i fuck with that @morbidDoghouse

  34. B.... L....

    This song, demonology and heartache, memorize by system of a down, and sugar by system of a down make me orgasam.

  35. d.... ....

    This album was/is awesome. I know there was this big discussion about whether metalcore is real metal or if it just sucks pubes in general. It doesn't matter with music like this.

  36. d.... ....

    This song is touching me on my privates and I'm cool with that.

  37. M.... M....

    best Atreyu song i miss them

  38. D.... Z....

    Pinche rola

  39. k.... c....

    When this album came out i would stand in my room and sing the hell out of this song. i had 2 other room mates at the time. The funny thing is that they never said, "kevin. Shut Up!" Such a great Atreyu song.

  40. D.... ....

    This is definately one of their best guitar songs, sounds like amped up 80's metal riffs, fuckin right! \m/

  41. A.... ....

    this + The crimson = best songs of the album.

  42. D.... C....

    If you feel lost or confused this is for you.....

  43. J.... ....

    The singing, the lyrics, the bass, the riffs and the solo.... this is without a doubt my fave song off The Curse, and one of my faves ever of Atreyu.

  44. t.... ....

    1:46 dat bass!

  45. P.... ....

    no no.. the whole song "ROCKS"

  46. S.... I....
