Symphony X - Domination Lyrics






All along the waste and wild
legions of lost scream in pain
A million shattered destinies
all slowly drowning in tears of flame

Break the chains around your necks
lick your wounds you Dogs of War
Raise your banners ever high
and ravage the Babylon Whore

I, with darkest insurrection, victimize
Hail the horrors, all hail and sanctify
...my Domination

Rotting from the inside out
ripping away to the core
A million lies unite as one
slaughtering innocence for evermore

Sound the mighty drums of doom
march to this black heart of fate
Clawing, tearing, slashing deep
defiantly fighting our fate

I, with darkest insurrection, victimize
Hail the horrors, all hail and sanctify
...my Domination

Turn the waters red with rage
burn all the earth shore to shore
Open wide the Gates of Hell
defile the Babylon Whore

I, with darkest insurrection, victimize
Hail the horrors, all hail and sanctify
...my Domination
...my Domination

  11. c.... f....

    New gothic movement brought me here

  12. U.... I....

    When the video first started I thought city escape was about to play

  13. m.... ....

    one of my all time favorite metal songs

  14. B.... D....

    WOW......OUTSTANDING!!!!

  15. A.... J....

    W.... ....

    And both have a hell of a groove

    W.... ....

    DUDUDUN DUDUDUN DUDUDUN DUDUDUN

  17. A.... F....

    This bass intro <3

  18. �.... �....

    Mix it with panic attack

  19. J.... G....

    That breakdown at 0:44 is such godly fuckin epicness

  20. M.... L....

    For ten years I've been using this video to listen to this song, well, what do you know, hu?

  21. T.... C....

    3:19 "Download those memes"

    T.... C....

    😂😂😂😂😂

  22. I.... ....

    GET DOWN ON YOUR KNEES! ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

  23. C.... I....

    That riff though

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

    The sound is terrifyingly bad!

  25. K.... Z....

    Russell Allen has the the best vocals... harsh but not too harsh

  26. A.... F....

    Best bass of all time ( after Lemmy of course)

  27. L.... C....

    4:10 cocodrile tension

  28. L.... C....

    INTRO BASS <3 COCODRILO PRELUDIO <3

  29. A.... F....

    Mickael Lepond is the best bassit ever ( after Lemmy of course )

  30. �.... ....

    この曲でsymphony xを知った、この曲でプログレメタルを知った
    そんな俺はプログレメタルとsymphony xの大ファンでございます

    �.... ....

    それはいいことを聴きました!

  31. M.... M....

    �.... ....

    曾涵鈞 sure

  36. A.... ....

    Can't stop replaying the bass intro

    A.... ....

    i feel you dude haha, since 2007, everytime that track starts, intro = x3 haha

  37. L.... ....

    Merci Hubert de Mettaliquoi!

    L.... ....

    Aaaah moi aussi !

    L.... ....

    c'est du lourd en plus

    L.... ....

    Woow le monde devient si petit,
    Vive Hubert et le METAL

    L.... ....

    tous le monde ce retrouve grâce a lui

  38. N.... K....

    Love this song.. it's like each band member at the top of their game, decided to have a jazz jam.. song composition is superb..

    N.... K....

    Nick K jazz ?

  39. S.... o....

    i love this song

  40. Y.... r....

    That intro... that's the juciest bass line I've ever heard... and I've heard some pretty juicy bass lines...

  41. S.... ....

    4:19 is that... a breakdown?

  42. T.... ....

    So because the intros are similar this is close to Panic Attack? First 40 seconds is only about 1/7 of the song, the rest is really quite different

    T.... ....

    Nope... In fact, they're pretty similar (each own in their way, SX are power/prog, DT are close to thrash when they go heavy)... only tha "breakdown" 4:10 to 4:50 are damn different... Bass intro giving the main melody, guitar joins playing bass melody, fast drumming, slow down during verses, vocals also slow down during chorus, go fast again, solo, chorus and finishing with the same intro melody... they're similar, at least in their structures.

  43. D.... S....

    panic attack, é voce?

    D.... S....

    Nem ouse...

  44. M.... ....

    1:40 " hail the walrus"

    M.... ....

    Damn it, I'll never unhear that.

    M.... ....

    "Hail the horrors"
    Best get to the repetition part of memorizing things.

    M.... ....

    MaTtHiJsM0vi3s remember obey the walrus?

  45. A.... G....

    I came here because I read this trivia on a metal website: "a noticeable bump, similar to a microphone tap, can be heard as soon as the main solo starts. The band has ackowledged the recording error but never explained what exactly caused it and why they didnt try to re-record the solo". Does anybody know anything about it? Anyway, excellent song

    A.... G....

    +Alberto Giachetti u mean right between 3:25 and 3:26?

    A.... G....

    +blurginouliz yes, exactly

    A.... G....

    Because the solo was great the first time.

    A.... G....

    +Alberto Giachetti Thank you for clarifying this.
    This noise has been bothering me since I bought the cd (in 2009). At first, I thought it was a scratch/error on my cd. Then, I started to listen other versions of it on the internet including YouTube, 4Shared, until I find this comment. Thanks man, thanks.

    A.... G....

    +Alberto Giachetti Could it be a drum mic that was hit by a stick? Not sure about it though

  46. T.... P....

    Reminds me of Panic Attack by Dream Theater, it's awesome!

    T.... P....

    Agreed, I love what these two have done for progressive rock/metal \m/ \,,\

    T.... P....

    Derrick Fox my favourite progressive rock/metal bands \m/

    T.... P....

    if you like very cool bass intro , you shall listen to only ash remains by necrphagist it's way more death metal but still impresive ^^

    T.... P....

    Derrick Fox Lo mismo pensé.

    T.... P....

    Both of them are Progressive Metal

  47. C.... ....

    Listen at 1.25x speed for more fun!

  48. A.... D....

    4:10 Duck solo

  49. D.... b....

    This and Paradise lost are the 2 songs I've heard by 'em. SUPER Pantera and Dio/Sabbath inspired.

  50. Y.... ....

    Awesome song. Pretty shitty quality though, for 480p sounds horrible. Agree with Brian, SX deserves to be listened in better quality, I suggest another video.

  51. M.... A....

    Amazing song !!!!!!!!

  52. K.... B....

    I've only heard "Sea of Lies" and "Of Sins and Shadows" for the past several years, so this is the third Symphony X song I've heard. Can anyone tell me how the vocalist went from sounding like Dio to sounding like Pantera?

    K.... B....

    @Kevin Benoit I think if James LaBrie hadn't had his voice lost for some time circa 1995 (or if he regain his voice strength) we would have similar situation in DT).

    K.... B....

    dunno, i think they wanted to try different styles each album, that includes vocal style.

    K.... B....

    Check out The Turning from their album The Oddysey... that's some serious shit about singing there my friend

    K.... B....

    Kevin Benoit. which metal subgenre would symphony x belong in?

    K.... B....

    Katrina Reminiec They're a fusion of progressive and power metal.

  53. B.... C....

    This audio is shit. Please redirect yourself to a different video here or buy the song. so shit quality..

  54. A.... L....

    45 seconds in, that riff punched me in the face

  55. U.... ....

    \,,/\,,/\,,/\,,/\,,/\,,/ Power of the world! Symphony x forever metal! 

  56. K.... H....

    Hail the walrus! All have a sink to find! 

    MY DOMINATION! 

    K.... H....

    Kirk Horner lol! It does sound like that!

  57. E.... M....

    This band rules!!!

  58. R.... L....

    Hi guys! If you like this you are most welcome to come sing along, have fun with my live vocal covers. Cya! :)

  59. H.... M....

    I've only heard some other Symphony X songs but this is the only one I actually like. What other good SX songs are there?

    H.... M....

    @Marcos Sanchez well, i'm Brazilian and my english is not very good, so i don't know why you are "not sure if that's a sexual innuendo". is it because i used this " ;) " emoji? or there is any sexual connotation in the expression "In the Dragon's Den"? Anyways, i'm really sorry if i offended you.
    Peace

    H.... M....

    @Nyan Roxx Oh no no no I wasn't trying to be an ass in any way sorry if it seemed as such. Your typing seems more grammatically correct than the rest of everyone here in California so points to you :)

    H.... M....

    @Marcos Sanchez
    Thanks =)

    H.... M....

    @Marcos Sanchez Inferno, The Odyssey, Out of the Ashes, Damnation Game, Egypt, Absence of Light, A fools Paradise, and a shit ton more buddy lol

    H.... M....

    Im not sure why this one was overlooked, but eve of seduction.

  60. f.... l....

    nice ^^

  61. F.... D....

    dreamtheater142 a youtuber that is called that way and upload Symphony X music and put a tag with "don't compare bands and listen to fucking music" lmao.

    Dream Theater tho >>>>>>

    :D

  62. S.... M....

    4:10 fav part

    S.... M....

    i just remember Buckethead

    S.... M....

    @zelyan fauzan totally like Buckethead 

  63. P.... ....

    Russell Allen has the best satanic metal voice. And that bass intro, datum.

    P.... ....

    +Thedjbj2 Ah, gotcha...

    P.... ....

    +TheSporehacker Are you rejecting it because you don't believe or just because you don't want to accept it?

    P.... ....

    @brettt777  I reject it because I don't believe in a godlike creature (I am a humanist btw). 
    And I don't think that the Bible, Quran or any holy book in general is a reliable scientific source. And there is no scientific evidence that god exists nor created the earth in 6 days. Plus it's theoretically and practically imposible too create a earth mass planet in the habitable zone of a yellow dwarf (with just the right conditions for life as we know it) in 6 days.  

    That doesn't mean that I am against Christians, Muslims or Jews etc. 
    I respect their believes and their cultural differences + background. I tolerate their opinions (that's why we have freedom of speech)
    Most of the Muslim, Christian and Jewish friends I know are tolerant and reasonable people and they respect my opinion while I respect theirs.
    We also don't force our ideas upon each other. 
     

    P.... ....

    Does this thread really need to become bogged down in another tedious religion vs. atheism debate? There are plenty of places on the internet for that sort of thing.

    P.... ....

    @Thedjbj2 Naah. that's a waste of time. 
    I am just here for the music

  64. D.... B....

    He sounds like he is throating a black mandingo cock

    D.... B....

    Positie indeed

    D.... B....

    For anyone considering looking up who mandingo is....just don't. 

    D.... B....

    Or just go ahead. Really it's not like it would traumatize anyone

    D.... B....

    @倉敷市レイ I mean if you look it up on images with safe search off.....

    D.... B....

    There's worse

  65. �.... ....

    mmh sounds like Yes in their first years

    �.... ....

    "Yes"?? Hahahaha You are kidding right? :p

    �.... ....

  80. y.... ....

    my dummy natiooon...

  81. H.... G....

    I thought dream theater was the only great band left in the earth!!

  82. f.... ....

    my favorite part is at 4:10 !!!

  83. s.... b....

    simply : the best bass intros ever

  84. D.... L....

    Hit like for the comment in the video!

  85. B.... F....

    what makes a band better then another is simply a matter of skill and pure music like symphony x one of the best bands to ever grace this earth

  86. V.... Z....

  91. P.... D....

    I think my ears are pregnant !

  92. C.... M....

    I prefer symphony x. But I do love dream theatre too.

  93. A.... -....

    Yeah, killing internet-pirates seems like the proper response... Because leeching off the handiwork of others is totally as bad as murder. Even worse I think. -_- btw, *shot

  94. S.... M....

    Every time i listen to the intro it reminds me of panic attack by DT!

  95. S.... ....

    This song is heavier than Oprah Winfrey.

  96. T.... G....

    YES I KNOW

  97. y.... ....

    The only time I saw Symphony X was when they were supporting DT on the Chaos in Motion tour. One of the best gigs I've been to, can't believe it was six years ago!! After some of the landmark Dream Theater shows that I attended I must say that I took more memories of Symphony X home with me that day. I'd do anything to see them again...
