Northlane - Paragon Lyrics






The last of our martyrs seeks no adoration
From his castle in the air of eternal vibration
We won't lose sight of the lasting words he wrote
We won't lose sight of what matters most

A shining beacon of wisdom
Armed to the teeth
Fearless conviction
Now that he's gone we're going to miss him

Immortalized between the lines
Conceived by a human heart inside

He once said to us, my friend hope is a prison
But the hope his chords sung only spread love
In a hollow crowned kingdom

There are no fighters left here anymore
See you on the other side
Of that open door

We won't lose sight
We won't lose sight
Of the lasting words he wrote
We won't lose sight of what matters most

    RIP TOM ****DoØØ**'!3"4**#mMmmMsssDaaaYYY******

  2. A.... B....

    "See you on the other side of that open door."
    "Death is an open door."

  3. L.... D....

    This song is so underrated. Why??

  4. B.... R....

    Ambience is metroid like

  5. S.... P....

    someone's a fan of doom '16

  6. H.... P....

    Thank you for this piece of love, empathy and forgiveness

  7. P.... Z....

    This is soooo incredibly meshuggah

  8. C.... W....

    This would be such a good opener

  9. D.... S....

    Thank you Northlane. Tom has been an example for all of us. We will miss him

  10. S.... ....

    As a fan from Architects (I'm not a big fan of Northlane sry ^~^)(and thnx to Andrew Baena)

    This song is amazing !

  11. G.... S....

    Repeat repeat repeat repeat repeat repeat
    We won't lose sight of what matters most

  12. S.... F....

    "There are no fighters left here anymore."

  13. P.... C....

    Un manjar

  14. J.... O....

    Marcus is 1000x better than adrian

  15. D.... B....

    YES! Great song.

  16. B.... ....

    I read that this song is a tribute to Tom, so I just had to check it out and I am not in the slightest disappointed. <3

  17. J.... O....

    If anyone wants to skip intro, the actual songs starts at 1:11

  18. S.... ....

    Lyrics are cool I guess and I like the references but seriously nobody thinks this song is repetitive as hell? I like it in a way, but this entire album is basically choruses over a repeated riff with some ambient sections, and this song is no different. Meh. Singularity and Discoveries will always be legendary, and while the new albums don't compare by a mile, they're still great in their own rights, but coming from a band like Northlane its just kinda disappointing.

  19. Z.... M....

    Northshuggah confirmed

    Z.... M....

    My thoughts exactly.

  20. R.... ....

    same exact jingle of Quantum Flux, re-arranged.
    R.I.P. Tom.

  21. J.... F....

    Reed Sims I got the exact same impression. Northlane are kicking goals n progressing. Lyrics kick ass. I hope Architects can persevere as well RIP Tom

  22. K.... ....

    RIP Tom

  23. 5.... ....

    Someone was playing doom while composing this I bet.

  24. A.... ....

    love the new album and that last specific song, especially after finding out the reason for it to be written. respect to Tom Searle and Northlane ⚫♥

  25. D.... ....

    NorthTones 🤘🤘

  26. i.... a....

    How to read this song ?

    i.... a....

    What do you mean? It's Pa-ra-gon

  27. F.... T....

    I wasnt a massive fan of node but this shit right here I fuck with 🙏🏻

  28. D.... T....

    anyone else got the feels of DOOM while listening to the intro? or is it just me? 😂

  29. A.... I....

    Remind me to Stranger things (periphery) lol

  30. D.... ....

    Fuck I love Northlane

  31. C.... d....

    Meshuggah is dat u

  32. Z.... ....

    We need a Northlane Architects Tour,
    Sam features on Paragon
    and Marcus features on Gone with the wind,
    that would be amazing.

    Z.... ....

    Z La nah Marcus featuring on gone with the wind wouldn't be right

    Z.... ....

    nobody should ever perform in Gone with the Wind, imo, otherwise, I agree

    Z.... ....

    Zeke they should play north lane and have Marcus feature on that one.

    Z.... ....

    @Blond Panda i think it's more to adrian

  33. J.... C....

    2:43 is reminiscent of the song Low by Architects (around 1:14 of that song). Maybe part of the tribute to back up these lyrics? That song is from the same album which includes the song "North Lane" where the band takes its name, so wouldn't surprise me. .

    J.... C....

    Julius Caesar whole lyrics are from the architects trust me as i am their die hard fan

    J.... C....

    I noticed the lyrics but I was thinking maybe even that guitar melody could be an easter egg!

  34. V.... K....

    very good, didnt know they had new album

  35. M.... P....

    Still much love to Adrian. Discoveries and singularity are some of my fav albums. I like Marcus, but his screams and writing really haven't done anything for me until this album. His singing is much better, but coupled with some of the grittier instrumental, it's done well.

  36. D.... ....

    THERE ARE NO FIGHTERS LEFT HERE ANYMORE

  37. N.... M....

    Northshuggah

  38. F.... ....

    awful mix. can barely hear the drums

  39. J.... E....

    Anyone else play the game Paragon? This shit is epic!

  40. A.... ....

    instrumental version??

  41. T.... A....

    sounds like the vocals of tdwp

  42. i.... ....

    OHUENNO

  43. j.... ....

    This is heavy as fuck. And I don't mean Rings of Saturn heavy; I mean deeply heavy like Deftones. Love it

  44. H.... H....

    Rip Tom Searle

  45. c.... ....

    The references to Architects in this song are painfully beautiful. Northlane, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. This is the best tribute to Tom on this website, and I love you guys even more for it.

  46. N.... ....

    You know there are other bands out there that has gone through new vocalist and they're still going strong. People just need to accept the fact that the vocalist is gone and have been replaced. If you don't like it then don't listen to their new albums.

  47. Y.... W....

    This album's very good

  48. J.... M....

    Brilliant song, painful lyrics.
    the references to Tom Searle and Architects are strong.
    Absolutely in love with this.
    Thank you, Northlane

  49. P.... P....

    Listened a hundred times still crying

  50. j.... b....

    Fuck this was pretty heavy.

  51. N.... K....

    2:42 to 3:30 is my favorite part in any song. So much power and meaning behind this track. Simply amazing.

  52. A.... P....

    Awesome tribute! Tom's lyrics with Meshuggah chugs style are a perfect combo to make him smile from where he is :')

  53. Z.... R....

    M E S H U G G A H feel in this one I must say

  54. S.... P....

    Goosebumps at hope is a prison

  55. M.... B....

    My heart can't handle this. 😭♥️this is beautiful. Respect.

  56. S.... S....

    Rest in peace Tom, insane song guys, props to you

  57. S.... H....

    I see reference to Dead Man Talking, Castles In The Air, C.A.N.C.E.R and Gone With The Wind. Lovely tribute.

  58. J.... L....

    Thank you, Northlane.

    My ego is completely destroyed.

  59. S.... C....

    Love the lyrics here, but honestly this has been my least favourite NL album :/ I actually think Marcus is great but the songs just dont compare with Discoveries/Singularity era. So Discoveries = Singularity > Node > Mesmer for me.

  60. c.... ....

    Northshuggah.

  61. J.... G....

    good luck 2017 trying to top this album. beyond perfection!

  62. �.... ....

    Beautiful and glorious tribute, listened this song with heart full of sorrow.
    Almost a year left since Tom leave us, but every fucking day miss him more and more, and I'm sure, that I not alone with this feeling.
    Your flesh and bones is dead now, but your spirit is immortal, and alive in our hearts.
    peace for all you guys from cold Russia.

  63. F.... L....

    This is tight.

  64. M.... M....

    I'm feeling the meshuggah influence

  65. H.... P....

    A beautiful song for Tom. ❤️

  66. Z.... L....

    best song on the album for sure.

  67. T.... K....

    Messhugah much? I dig it.

  68. T.... C....

    who the hell mixed this

    T.... C....

    im on the same boat, I just want this album to be remastered with node mixing so I can put it on repeat as I did with Node... I'm so pissed off with this mix =PPP

    T.... C....

    The rest of the album sounds great, go figure this was the first song I heard from this album lol

  69. s.... b....

    its a cool song but they are sooo slow it's like down tempo for girls

  70. O.... W....

    Hearing the album for the first time a few days ago, as soon as the intro kicked in I knew this was going to be special and even thought it'll be Northlane's Memento Mori on the album. Hit me harder when I realised the connection in the lyrics. RIP Tom Searle. And thank you Northlane for never forgetting your roots.

  71. L.... F....

    Oh my djent heart!

  72. s.... ....

    this song really reminds me of rational gaze.. and the hardest part is believing that no one in the comments has mentioned this yet

  73. L.... T....

    Spastic.

  74. S.... W....

    this is restoring my faith in northlane haven't sounded this good since the Adrian days

  75. K.... ....

    was never really into northlane but this whole album is awesome.

  76. D.... O....

    Sick album duuderrr

  77. j.... ....

    Could literally listen to 2:43 - 3:30 on loop forever.

    Beautiful tribute to Tom.

    j.... ....

    I have been lol

  78. B.... P....

    I'll say it: Best Northlane album. Period. End of story.

  79. Z.... B....

    Just read the lyrics... I love you Tom

  80. Z.... B....

    He name dropped the band they are named after twice in one line

  81. Z.... B....

    2:32 I heard "hope is a prison"... And "hollow crown's kingdom" Tom Searle lyric from a band named after an Architects song.. So much love from Northlane. I always thought that Marcus would let me down, but in some ways he hasn't. Saw them in Washington after Adrian unfortunately departed, and I was surprised at what I heard. Im still trying to get into their "new" sound, but the acknowledgement of their past from these lyrics warms my little heart. \m/

  82. J.... R....

    so much love ☺

  83. V.... r....

    :O chills

  84. j.... c....

    RIP Tom!
    I already love Northlane, but this made gain soooo much more respect for them.

  85. L.... i....

    MY SKILL RISES....

  86. j.... ....

    This is so amazing

  87. Z.... ....

    so beautiful, northlane was named after the song northlane by Architects, I often wondered how they were to respond to Tom's recent passing. This is simply beautiful.

  88. J.... A....

    2:42 and after is just pure epicness.

  89. M.... W....

    Check out DVSR if you like this song

  90. B.... ....

    Lots of Mesguggah vibes on this track, Northlane kills it omg !
    This album is a masterpiece, hearing lots of improval from Node to here... Still the mix is kinda weak tho.
    And fucking hell, nearly 0 promotion.

    Fucking love you Northlane, hope to see you soon on stage in Paris !
    Much love from France.

  91. H.... H....

    Okay now I have hope again in this album after hearing this

  92. F.... ....

    Amazing song ,RIP Tom

  93. N.... ....

    Rip Tom

  94. D.... B....

    marcus is good asf for northlane

  95. B.... ....

    That cube thing looks a lot like The Algorithm album art

  96. D.... C....

    This is such a beautiful tribute to Tom Searle. Northlane, you really delivered with this album and I thank you for it. Phenomenal job fellas.

  97. r.... ....

    The Architects reference really hit that spot!

    r.... ....

    The whole song is a reference! It's made entirely out of Tom's lyrics from most of Architects' albums, they're just repurposed to be about him. It's really nice.

  98. T.... P....

    R.I.P Tom
