Silent Planet - Northern Fires (Guernica) Lyrics

2:53 - 3:23

this song goes HARD

Just saw you guys for the first time last night in Portland. Much respect. Dare I say it but I enjoyed your set even more than the headlining bands. Your message is so powerful. Mental illness is an invisible disease. Thank you for acknowledging it and paying respects. You guys are awesome. Again, much respect. Much love. 🖤

This song

This is hella woke. Maranatha.

This band is a child of God.

Found this song by accident, but holy shit am I glad I did!

Hey NF, come listen to this!

Silent Planet bringing the good old Northlane's Adrian era vibes again.

Closest thing to "rap" without sounding awful

For those who wonder what the lyrics are (genius.com)
[Verse 1: Garrett Russell]
Ration my breath, terror clandestine in my chest
Mangled, I lay on a foreign forest floor [1]
Caught in an instant, divided by distance
Alone in the fray, clutching my trigger, I pray
As I make amends with death on a distant shore [2]
Such is the fate of the nation-state [3] despite the myths, they propagate [4]
The narrative never fits the crime
Democracy's died this death a thousand times
The masses kneel before the golden cross
Held by the priest [5] who bows at the feet of the king [6]

[Chorus: Thomas Freckleton]
We stand alone in the dust of what could be
Fighting to find our humanity

[Verse 2: Garrett Russell]
Bury me with my name in an unmarked grave
Another casualty to the vanity of history [7]
The war marches on after the killing ends [8]
Take our lives: colonize our minds [9]
I've been digging through timelines, historical bylines
I find the fatal flaw in our design lies
Between thoughts we had and words we knew [10]
Between what we're told and what is true [11]
Who fuels the fascist? [12] A classist
Inculcating the masses in passes
Under the contrived countenance of contrition [13]
The victor writes the story [14], more often burns the manuscript
Set fire to a pyre cremate the crimes that they commit [15]
But the flames kept us warm
So we bit our tongues and tasted scorn
The bitter stench of finite men
Betrayed by the thieves they swore to defend
The bell will toll [16], and in the end
Lay only echoes of what could have been [17]

[Chorus: Thomas Freckleton]
We stand alone in the dust of what could be
Fighting to find our humanity
We stand alone in the dust of what could be
Nothing we fought for will set us free

[Outro: Garrett Russell]
Throw myself, headlong, to the jaws of the beast [18]
The war machine that feeds for eternity
Throw myself, headlong, to the jaws of the beast
The war machine that turns for eternity
Throw myself, headlong, to the jaws of the beast
The war machine that feeds for eternity
Throw myself, headlong, to the jaws of the beast
The war machine that turns for eternity

Best Christian songs 😍😍

The only thing that could make you guys better is if u guys go back to at least 2 guitarists

80% of the vocals downright ruined an otherwise great song. I think this is the reason why this genre isn't prevailing. Vocal Metalcore influences should be seriously toned down. This coming from a guy that thalls with love.

I just melted.

Garret's got a sick flow going on here! Silent Planet never disappoints.

What's this have to do with phrenology?

New songs are top notch and these videos are bad ass boys!

MUito Foda ......
parabens ...

*goosebumps* at 1:56 😏

I'm looking for the second thumbs up button, so I can like this track AGAIN!

This came up after Monuments, I didn't even notice that the band had changed until the rap singing part. I'm definitely gonna look for more from these guys

definitely gonna be one of the sickest albums released this year

The breakdown from 2:53 to the end.

Garrett spitting bars big woah

An absolute trifecta of wonder:
Work of art for a music video (well executed and linked to the lyrics of the song), an absolute gargantuan of a track, a well researched/thought out lyrics.

Legendary job!

Wow, so many layers to this song... I love it!

The imagery makes it so aesthetical, the lyrics that could be so meaningless are so meaningful, you truly putting up some high quality in metal.

I’m really digging the heavy shit by these dudes

garbage

Hope you didn’t lose anything in the carr Fire, I’m watching the delta fire closely as it moves north

*the lyrics are amazing*

GRACIAS POR ESTE TEMA ;) NARRATING the true (L)

*opens dictionary*

got a strong fit for an autopsy vibe from this

Jesus bless you

The art. Absolutely flawless.

These guys seriously picked up where Oh Sleeper left off and has taken that sound so much further.

So. Fucking. Underrated.

My mom got me a silent planet T-shirt for school, in confusion i looked up silent planet on yt, now im here... not bad i actually kinda like this

Every pop fan: "metal lyrics are lame and shit" silent planet: "hold my beer"

that video though

well fuck. this is epic

This song is so metal that I have to use a dictionary to understand the lyrics.

My soul has been inspired, to the deepest parts

his cleans ARE SO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD

Very nice, just hope its the same drummer.. go Alex...👊😎

Nothing we fart for will set us free

I love this song... never heard of the band but it has that “feeling” to it you know......

This song is great!

yes i love the cleans bro

My insides exploded from the inside out @ 3:23

More metal than the periodic table

How does this only have 112k views

The camera work and how your perspective is played with is just incredible

aburnedpotato my favorite part about these videos

3:23 - 3:33 when u bang your toe with the fucking door

this is both musically and lyricswise an amazing song!

I love the Lou Koller worship in the vocals. Fantastic stuff.

the bit where he raps the lyrics is so dope

1:36 holy fucking shit this verse is beyond amazing.

Fucking love the lyrics.

who made the video?

The fact that they lay out where the lyrical references are so people can expand their consciousness is really really going to wake people up. Keep it up. Please. We need you.

NO...... please NO more clean vocals. Its not 2013 anymore. You are better than that SP. Everything else are just spot on.

Replay all day 🔁

I watch this like 3 times a day

I NEED AN ALBUMN

so sick

I love how so many bands make some ass music !!!!!

That ending!!!

One of the best Songs that I've ever heard

Incredible single! Garrett's spit after the first chorus is freakin' epic :D

Its not the best song, but not bad, thumbs up

This song came when i least expected it, but when i needed it most. The world is so crazy right now.

#Wokecore

I really hate the clean vocals on this song. Did something change? I love the way they sounded on every song previous, but it sounds so generic and unemotional now, like every other hardcore band trying to sing. Other than that the song is great, lyrics are great, musicianship is great. Cleans completely ruin this song for me.

I want to be close to god again, I want to want it again like I used to. I want him so bad.

Awesomeness!!!!

so...i just randomly clicked on this link. omg...i've listened to it probably 5 times on repeat. absolutely amazing

Man, can I just have a friend that's into this like I am, or this comment section, rock on guy🤘✌🙏

My gawd

The cleans ruin it for me man. The rest is great.

29 people must’ve slept through history class.

Please keep rapping.

Gah the lyrics of this band are absolutely amazing. Huge respect for the amount of time that goes into them, as well as all the other music. Anytime I want to learn something, SP lyrics is where i go. The annotations are great

Garrett a rapper?

Been listening to this song on repeat. The riffs and the vocals flow in a very exhilarating way. Can't wait to hear the rest! <3

This tracks fucking SLAAAPS boys holy Christ of Nazareth

expectations always exceeded

Seriously, this is awesome!
I have no words for this!
Just... deep! Very deep! Wonderful music!
Thanks for this.

Not that he was bad at screaming, but I think he has improved. This is beast. I love them \m/

Great song! And that video <3

thats not MLA bro wtf 2/10 not djent

We dont deserve a band like Silent Planet. Holy fucking banger..

Como eu amo o trabalho desses carinhas do SP <3

it's sad that we are still living consequences of 40 years of fascism in spain, and how we still have a polarized side of society who doesn't want to look back in our early past and judge what happened cause we have statal powers figures that simpathised with the dictatorial system

As a spanish who lost someone in our civil war, this is truly emotional. It's necessary to make visible the victims. Thank you Silent Planet.

I. Can’t. Stop. Watching.

New Silent Planet and FFAK?! This is why Solidstate is the best in the game at the moment
