Periphery - Icarus Lives! Lyrics






Believe in memories to resurrect me

Besieged by falling dreams
Hold them tightly
Adorn my wings to thee, and use them nightly

I'm neither angel nor a demon spawn
Though some will call me god
Gravity is just a law I've wrought

Hear temptation take the sky for all to see
Sheer elation to write in history

I'm neither angel nor a demon spawn
Though some will call me god
Gravity is just a feeble plot

When I said I'd never kneel again
What I really meant
Was (fucking) pull the pin because time is spent

I'm neither angel nor a demon spawn
Though some will call me god
Fuck that

Unite with ravens on their shadow flights
As my nocturnal right
Gravity is just a mortal's vice implied

When I said I'd never feel or see
Love and sight are last resorts for me

    R.E. hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy "it's a sort of threat you see, the "late" Arthur dent"

  21. D.... W....

    I'm a dream Theater and steve vai fan trying out periphery for the first time and i just can't get into them. People put them on such a pedestal, I don't know why.

    D.... W....

    Their last two albums are great

    D.... W....

    I am a DT and Steve Vai fan like you. I really love this band and my favorite album is Omega.

  22. E.... b....

    DJENT!!!!

  23. �.... �....

    This song is how I got into Periphery and to this day it is my favorite track by them.

    �.... �....

    Same...

  24. S.... R....

    ATTACK ATTACK WOULD BE PROUD 2:04

  25. B.... N....

    Coming back since a couple years and noticing how hard this hits on my teenage years

  26. o.... J....

    Came here after watching Nolly video about Djont

  27. H.... 7....

    Since everyone’s doing age comments I’m 13 and I like this music

  28. M.... G....

    I'm 20 and my guitar is out of tune

  29. H.... M....

    First time hearing djent ............WOW

  30. M.... V....

    What's djent? My grandchildren asked....

    A small tear runs down my face..

    "Let me take you on a wild story kids."

  31. T.... ....

    if you went to their concert as a musician, waiting so see this band showing their skills (especially the vocalist) ,and just right before the concert they tell you the singer and both guitar players are not abel to play the show....

  32. K.... V....

    I love this 3000

  33. D.... ....

    Which Nintendo does this do?

  34. S.... S....

    Spencer got alot of unfair criticism for his vocals on this album but people gotta understand he came in to this album where the lyrics and vocal melodies were already written. He really SHINES P2 and onward, displaying his range.

  35. D.... D....

    Still a Top 5 favorite song.

  36. V.... ....

    Ironic how I heard this at a Spencer’s for the first time February 2013, instantly Shazam’d it.

    V.... ....

    That must have been a really cool Spencer's if they were playing Periphery. I would freak out if I heard this anywhere in public

  37. K.... B....

    Sounds like Stevie T music

  38. T.... I....

    I only camefor "scout amazing adventure"

  39. W.... B....

    I rather angel than demon spawn..... Lassssst

  40. I.... Y....

    I remember thinking this was weird when I was 14. Lol As I Lay Dying and KSE were so much better, now I walk around campus between classes humming Blood Eagle and tapping the drums after listening to P2 and Alpha/Omega through and through

  41. H.... C....

    Where is Ragtime Dandies? HOW CAN WE LISTEN TO THIS SONG WITHOUT RAGTIME DANDIES IN THE END?!?!

  42. D.... G....

    Djent gods gave power to this guys

  43. S.... ....

    This is the first song i listened from this band... and holy shit it sucks ass, I just hope this is a dud in their discography and the rest of their songs are good.

    S.... ....

    Listen to Rainbow Gravity

  44. B.... P....

    First Periphery song I listened to. Still my favorite.

  45. N.... Y....

    But does itvdjent”

  46. F.... F....

    I mean i love this qnd periphery is just really dont like the vocals and it ruins it for me

  47. O.... 2....

    i hate that scream

  48. D.... B....

    Djent, djent, djent 🎸

  49. E.... ....

    0:14 Gotta get in that power stance

  50. s.... ....

    The vocals are so... average; so teenage-rock-band-from-Indiana, I can't seem to warm up to the music because of that.

  51. J.... T....

    This song is sick in every single way. What a bomber, will always bang my head to this

  52. �.... ....

    Alex bois,i want to come back

  53. M.... G....

    ICARUS LIVE PAPA >:D

  54. V.... V....

    Jhofffilms brought me here.

  55. T.... O....

    He liteally sounds like a heavier version of Vic Fuentes of Pierce the Veil

  56. Y.... 6....

    This song not on Spotify really???

  57. -.... ....

    Jesus Christ, that riff is so fucking dank.

  58. J.... b....

    It's not his pitch it's his voice inflection

  59. O.... O....

    Here from Alex Hefner 🤘

  60. U.... B....

    DJENT!!!!!

  61. W.... ....

    Does anybody have any idea why this album is not on spotify?

  62. R.... P....

    DJENT DDDDDJENT

  63. P.... ....

    OK, who's idea was to put guitarists to do the bassist's job?

  64. M.... C....

    2:00 - 2:10 HOLY SHIT!!! I broke my neck in that part

  65. L.... ....

    I think death metal growling is much better than the painful to listen to Screamo screaming, like the vocals sound here. I dislike that Metalcore can technically include Death and Screamo, because it's a broader genre. I love Periphery's clean vocals, as I was a huge fan of Pop-punk and Emo before I got into Death. But after what happened with Matt Heafy of Trivium, I sure hope the singer here doesn't blow out his vocal chords in concert, too.

  66. J.... G....

    reminds me of being in middle school. Coming home and playing Halo 3 and listening to music

  67. S.... 8....

    🤙✔🍻

  68. S.... D....

    Matt is a fucking beast...the majority of his beats are done on a single pedal
    That Shit is not easy

  69. a.... 2....

    song for djentlemen

  70. p.... ....

    Once I listened to periphery for the first time.
    Heard that intro riff...insta classic.

    It's pretty rare where a band can come up with riffs that make you instantly be able to recognize a song in just a couple of notes.
    Hearing it makes me feel like a badass. just LISTENING to periphery makes me feel so much cooler. its strange

  71. L.... ....

    ahhhhh the beginins <3

  72. A.... R....

    Kmac did it better

  73. L.... A....

    Why isn't this on spotify?

  74. S.... T....

    I love this and Happy Metal's version in different ways. The yin and yang, intertwined. You'll see what I mean...

  75. R.... ....

    Dudes from Periphery are bunch of crabs , fucking love this song.

  76. I.... Y....

    take me back to 9th grade

  77. T.... ....

    0:16 You know it's a great song when you can chicken bob to it!

  78. W.... B....

    When the djent jokes started...

    W.... B....

    So what ?

  79. I.... ....

    not really for me.

  80. O.... H....

    oh my life

  81. D.... M....

    Goddamnit misha stop trying to sell me your precision drive in the middle of the music video

  82. i.... d....

    Gay singing gre0t guit0rs

  83. n.... b....

    NOTHING BUT STEALING FROM MESHUGGAH. MISHA GOT HIS "FAME" FROM RIPPING THEM OFF AND COINING THEIR STYLE. FUCK THESE PRICKS. OH AND THE SINGER SUCKS MY NUTSACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    n.... b....

    Wow man, you're so original with this comment .
    By what you are saying all death metal bands should be copies of kreator and slayer .

  84. C.... ....

    Sounds emo

  85. R.... ....

    I cant believe i listened to this song for the first time in december 2010. How time can go that fast?

  86. Z.... P....

    I thought this was Djent, not Crabcore

  87. D.... ....

    I don't know if its just the metal era grew up in but if these guys had long hair they would sound so much heavier lol

  88. N.... D....

    But can they play djent?

  89. L.... C....

    Omg 8 years ago I got into Djent style?

  90. b.... k....

    the riff itself

  91. e.... w....

    Condensationcore

  92. R.... 1....

    meshuggah is the only good djent band😂

    R.... 1....

    Said by someone who haves a fucking pony as its avatar .
    Are you 13teen or something ?

  93. K.... S....

    The way Misha plays the intro is pure Djent. It DOES Djent.

  94. A.... D....

    I'm surprised no one here commented on the 8-string Misha has at 2:33

  95. M.... ....

    This song is simply amazing! love the greek mithology analogy in the lyrics, I'm really into that kind of stuff!! love this band and this was actually the second song I ever heard from them got hooked ever since!! I uped a vocal cover of this song in my channel channel(plus a few more) check it out! cheers

  96. E.... F....
