Fates Warning - SOS Lyrics






We wait for days
The hours can't replace
That moment of walking away

There's none to blame
But buildings still remain
Their empty halls fading away
And now I
I can feel the rain
Falling on me
I can see the waters rising
Undermining me

I can feel the rain
Wash over me
Can the places and the faces
In the flood be saved

Now the darkness fades
And thoughts fall in to place
Let the flood take away
The pain of yesterday

Sink or swim
Sink or swim
So now I

I can feel the rain
Falling on me
I can see the flood is rising
Undermining me

I can feel the rain
Wash over me
Can the places and the faces
In the flood be saved

Fates Warning SOS Comments
  1. A.... G....

    Bestiali,fantastici,sublimi,
    Grazie per questo favoloso disco,il miglior prog dell anno !

  2. D.... ....

    If you like this, do yourself a favor and check out Ghost Ship Octavius "Delirium" album ..intelligent prog metal but not the usual math metal, more open creative and very powerful. Various textures and heaviness, think Anubis Gate or Vanden Plas but with more balls, Rich baritone voice, excellent, creative guitar work and, of course, veteran drummer showing how it's done. ( Adon Fanion, Matt Wicklund, and Van Williams )

  3. J.... H....

    Such a superior band!!

  4. J.... L....

    Fates Warning ...FUCK

    We wait for days
    The hours can't replace
    That moment of walking away

    There's none to blame
    But buildings still remain
    Their empty halls fading away
    And now I
    I can feel the rain
    Falling on me..
    I can see the waters rising
    Undermining me

    I can feel the rain
    Wash over me
    Can the places and the faces
    In the flood be saved

    Now the darkness fades
    And thoughts fall in to place
    Let the flood take away
    The pain of yesterday

    These guys rule.

    Ray Alder - the master of vocal melody - can carry any composition. This is actually a fantastic song on every level. Great composition. One of their best in years. Love Ray's emotion in the verses. Still sounds fantastic after all these years.

  8. T.... K....

    Glad to see Jonh Schaffer join FT!!!! Even in drums! Nice combination !! Bravo!!

  9. S.... ....

    Where's Frank Aresti? He's not even in the video 🤔

    S.... ....

    He is not an active band member. He take part in records, but don't touring

  10. a.... ....

    So best!!! 👏👏👏👏👏

  11. L.... B....

    Ray Alder ❤️

  12. c.... v....

    Great Band! Amazing song as usual!

  13. J.... d....

    I really crave for the 80' Fates Warning, with it's deep and fantasious lyric themes, and the powerful vocal range of Jon Arch. But I can't say I dislike the more dark and mellow oriented one, and the drum fills provide by Jarzombek
    sound really badass.

  14. C.... D....

    Part II of 'The Strand?'

  15. B.... H....

    One of the best metal voices of all time..dude can flat out wail..for 30 years now..sounds better than ever. I saw them on this tour and they were amazing!! Kudos boys!!

  16. M.... S....

    Ray Alder. Incredible.

  17. D.... B....

    Ahhhh I remember silent cries playing on headbangers ball back in the day! Still sounding amazing!!

  18. E.... ....

    So good it's almost depressing.

  19. B.... M....

    HIS POWER IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! RAY IS TRULY ONE OF THE METAL GODS!!

  20. M.... A....

    Happy to see you in my country Peru! ♥

  21. S.... K....

    love you guys!

  22. R.... T....

    Wow they’re still making albums??? Saweet! They still are incredible!!

  23. K.... T....

    Killer vocals, as always from Ray.

  24. M.... G....

    I love Fates Warning..

  25. L.... G....

    Great band! One of my long time favorite! Saw them in Montreal years ago...wish they come back soon!

  26. J.... S....

    Fates Warning is like Rush for me...two first albums are meh...and then pure golden till the end ♥

  27. M.... H....

    the band the Dream Theater wishes they were

  28. K.... T....

    This video should have 20000000 views.

  29. K.... T....

    Amazing song.

  30. I.... D....

    Match this, Dream Theater.
    First break hits and I check the time, expecting it to be around 5 minutes because that's how rich and full it appears... it's 2.
    A full prog metal movement, only two minutes long. Only then I realize that the entire thing clocks little over 4.30....
    Breathtaking is not even a word, man. I'm floored.

  31. m.... ....

    man. so much goodness. thanks you guys. one more tour would be awesome

  32. v.... M....

    I live my life very careless and dangerous , so they undermine me for always.If I come back home late , or I have done something wrong thing.I 'd like to hide somewhere I am not to be seen from others.

  33. B.... M....

    ONE OF THE LAST GREAT METAL BANDS STILL AROUND! I HAVE BEEN A FAN OF THERE'S SINCE DAY ONE!

  34. C.... D....

    The Strand Part II?

  35. R.... L....

    I liked them anyway and i can also hear tones of Opeth which is a double-plus!

  36. M.... S....

    this is for all those guys who say metal has terrible vocalists

  37. C.... P....

    MERAVIGLIOSI E DEVASTANTI COME SEMPRE...........GRANDIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

  38. Y.... H....

    Good !!!! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMl0Opjy-IavzEgSsLx06Ww

  39. A.... V....

    What is that groove?!!!!! Holy shit!

  40. C.... ....

    I saw a reply down in the comment's that said 'metal for grown up's' am not going to say any more.

  41. T.... 6....

    Completely awesome....period. My favorite all-time band. Best cd of the year, and next year. Unless they come out with something that surpasses this. Hint-Hint!!! And yes Metal for grownups!!!

  42. K.... B....

    Great Track

  43. i.... ....

    Fates Warning, Redemption and Dream Theater in that order. If Dream Theater were not playing to women ie. silly ballads, commercial success and were more consistent I'd imagine they'd be first if they did that in my book!

  44. i.... ....

    Listen to Redemption, Black and White World, Memory, Slouches Toward Belthleham, The Center of the Fire, At Days End. And so many many more!

  45. i.... ....

    One of Rays other projects Engine was ok but compared to Fates Warning and Redemption it did'nt meet up. Bernie Versales was in both Redemption and Engine.

  46. i.... ....

    Well. I think Rays side project was in step, maybe a little better up to this one except this one raised it up a notch. Too bad Ray got out of Redemption and moved to Spain probably fell in love with some Spanish woman. But I hope you go listen to them if you have'nt aleady. One of my favorites is transendence. Snowball on Judgement Day, The art of Loss, This mortal coil. All their albums are fantastic, hats off to Mr. Van Dyke. and of course Ray Balderrama!

  47. Z.... B....

    Rays voice is amazing!

  48. A.... M....

    !!! !! !!!
    !!! !! !!!

  49. H.... M....

    superbbbb

  50. A.... T....

    And another perfect album, bye the great Fates Warning.. Nothing left to say. right everyone???

  51. N.... R....

    Dammmm fates warning wend u get sooo fucking heavyyy

  52. T.... ....

    Great genious stuff of such a wonderful and powerful band ...!!!

  53. b.... c....

    at least 3 of these tunes should be on the fuckin radio!! what the fuck. bet if sum rogue dj was to air this on prime times daily i guarantee people would be calling asking who the fuck is this new band? little would mainstream radio listeners know these sum bitches been doin this since the 80s...

  54. b.... c....

    god!! this a fuckin AWESOME song!! power, soul and brutality all wrapped in this one song. rare

  55. R.... N....

    amazing

  56. N.... P....

    Jesus this is a jam!

  57. p.... s....

    i can garantee you that there is gonna be no drum covers of this song on YouTube.

  58. 4.... ....

    Just simply blows my mind... was listening to them in the early 90's, lost track of them, found them again almost 30 years later, saw them live by pure chance recently and this is the real SH!T....Most beautiful thought through music I couldn't imagine....WOW! WOW! WOW!!!

  59. D.... N....

    perfect perfect perfect !!!

  60. N.... Z....

    WOOOAH! <3

  61. p.... ....

    the best band the in the world my friends

  62. T.... 6....

    I love reading the comments and seeing tons of people praise these guys!!! Keep up the positive comments....OUR BAND!!!

  63. D.... ....

    .while I really like their latest music, I hope they start incorporating the more complex writing style they use to have into their music as well as the more straight-forward sound of the last two albums.

  64. I.... K....

    i really dig this album

  65. R.... T....

    Very,very good !!!! Ray the best !!!!

  66. F.... S....

    Great song.

  67. R.... G....

    just wish Alder would get some testosterone injections or something... always whining about something... great singer (not as good as Arch) but just way too victimized... go back to Ivory Gate of Dreams and Anarchy Divine type lyrics...

    R.... G....

    Alder is 100x better than Arch. His singing is borderline annoying at times.

  68. R.... H....

    Tangerine Dream;-)

  69. S.... C....

    come to chile please :)

  70. P.... F....

    amazing album!!!!

  71. C.... D....

    fucking incredible album.

  72. I.... ....

    joey vera is cooler than bruce willis. agree?

  73. H.... 6....

    My fave band.... seen them in 1993....still my fave

  74. S.... A....

    Great album, hit after hit, this and seven stars are my favorites, but the 7 seven songs on the album are great

  75. B.... R....

    JUST SAW THEM 2016 IN SAN JOSE CA WOW GREAT SHOW LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING THEM AGAIN SOON NO MATER WHAT FORM OR MEMBERS KEEP IT UP

  76. B.... ....

    Rays voice is the best I've heard it in a while on this album.. Agree with the Light and Shade of Things comment. Amazing song..

  77. K.... ....

    Why the FUCK this band doesnt get the recognition they deserve?

    K.... ....

    Cause quality simply slips through stupid masses like quicksand... let's consider ourselves lucky for knowing and appreciating this gem!-)

  78. C.... A....

    Great song from a great album... The Jarzombek-Vera rhythm section sounds tighter than ever. FW has been around for 35 years, and their quality has never degraded. I'd actually say the band's getting better with time, like a good wine!

  79. P.... B....

    Matheos is wearing a Tangerine Dream T-shirt! A W E S O M E !

  80. K.... H....

    Sort of a modern day Queensryche vibe

    K.... H....

    Kelly Halbedel not a good comparison. yes, i like some older queensryche, and both bands are good live, but i met both bands and spent a little time with them. queensryche were a bunch of assholes while fw took an interest in me as a fan and asked what, if any particular one, song i would like to hear live. and at the end of the show, played it 'by fan request', and pointed me out in the crowd. (not hard since they play small venues). very down to earth, easygoing guys who even wrote an album about crowd/band interaction. fw loves their fans. queensryche (especially michael wilton) treated me like i was just a hassle and they couldn`t be bothered by fans or even sign an autograph. douchebags

  81. M.... ....

    Come to the capital of Metal, Göteborg - Gothenburg!
    Sweden needs you more then ever!

  82. N.... R....

    Not hating but is this band Mainstream or not ?! Just got into them and couldn't find their golden work yet ?! can any1 help ?

    N.... R....

    Ali samadi they are labeled that, but i listen to albums like Clouds and Wildhoney and just have to disagree. just like Death The Sound of Perseverance is labelled a thrash album. i don't care. it's death metal to me

    N.... R....

    Well for me Wildhoney is more Gothic. I can't see elements of Death metal in their work specially in Wildhoney but anyway that's how my ears catch them :)

    N.... R....

    I know most of them except Engine and Tony MacAlpines. Gonna check them out ASAP.

    N.... R....

    Ali samadi My personal opinion on FW's best work of all time-> "The Spectre Within" release. I miss John's vox like no tomorrow. Nothing against Ray, it just seems like he comes off as a suicidally depressed version of Steve Perry from Journey

    N.... R....

    If you are looking for prog try out redemption - snowfall on judgment day. I love this album

  83. S.... ....

    If not for Loudwire, I would have completely overlooked their album. One of the better metal albums of 2016... especially after the In Flames letdown!

  84. J.... M....

    Ray, JIm, Bobby and Joey: The Dream Team of all times!! The video is brilliant!!! Thanks to FW and Insideoutmusic for more a masterpiece!!! The Brazil waits on the next tour!!

  85. M.... P....

    Espetacular!!!

  86. E.... B....

    THANK YOU. Fates rules!

  87. B.... C....

    so damn good

  88. E.... ....

    Forgot all about them.

  89. A.... M....

    !!! !! !!!
    ...

  90. C.... ....

    ALL HAIL THE KING"S OF PROG MEATAL!!!!

    C.... ....

    Clemente Soto Dream Theater!

  91. T.... 6....

    I'll say it over and over. Fates has become my favorite band of all time. It used to Judas Priest..still my second favorite, hate to say. But in the comment below, Metal for grown-ups. My favorite singer to cover, bar none. This is my cd of the year. Tour the U.S.

  92. S.... K....

    Album of the year. Nothing else comes even close to this.

    S.... K....

    Well. I think Rays side project was in step maybe a little better up to this one except this one raised it up a notch. To bad Ray got out of Redemption and moved to Spain probably fell in love with some Spanish woman. But I hope you go listen to them if you have'nt aleady. One of my favorites is transendence. Snowball on Judgement Day, The art of Loss, This mortal coil. All their albums are fantastic, hats of to Mr. Van Dyke. and of course Ray Balderrama!

  93. T.... 6....

    Bobby has been unleashed!!! Like I've said before they just keep getting better and better as the years go on. Like Jack Hammer said below metal for grownups. Not over the top like other progressive bands, great melody, great playing, and that voice they always leave you wanting more! Ray, Jim, Joey and Bobby, I think they've found the lineup! Going to check tour dates, saw then last year, they were fantastic. T

    T.... 6....

    Airbender 4 how can you just dismiss a genious percussionist like Mark Zonder so easily? his unique style fit fw perfectly. i see all replacements as secondary....like replacing Ray or Jim...the new percussionist, while talented, doesn't give his own unique sound to fw and is too reliant on the double bass to do the job. i take nothing away from him, but he's no Zonder by a mile

    T.... 6....

    Oh, I realize he's no Mark Zonder. He is one of the best ever as far as I'm concerned, he was the drummer when I first heard this fantastic band, "Perfect Symmetry", he is incredible. But when I heard Bobby on this album, he just blew my expectations of his drumming out of the water. I think the double kick really adds a heavier sound to Fates. Bands need to grow or they will stagnate. I think they've grown. Mark is also one of my favorite drummers of all time.....And I'm a singer(lol)...I think Bobby is doing some intricate playing, again not Mark, but I always thought of Bobby as a metal drummer, but again just really impressed by his playing on this cd.

  94. G.... F....

    Uno de los mejores temas del disco que sin duda es lo mejor desde "APSOG". FW FOREVER.

  95. �.... �....

    Jarzombek forever!!! )

  96. G.... D....

    Less than 15000 views is just a shame... After so many years, when will people understand that Fates Warning is one of the best prog-metal band around???

  97. V.... G....

    so amazing,total feeling!! i hope see FW in Brazil in this tour!!

  98. G.... C....

    Que buenísima canción de Fates Warning

  99. R.... ....

    This song reminds me of Porcupine Tree a lot. But I don't remember what song, something between Shallow and Open Car.

    R.... ....

    Maybe it's Fear Of a Blank Planet? :)
