Symphony X - Iconoclast Lyrics






Rise of the one -
The dark iconoclast
Forging a cult of fear,
With legions unsurpassed
Shouting the word -
With vicious tongues of fire
Born of illusion and deceit
Fiendish soul of a liar.

The chaos unseen rips
The midnight sky
Infernal machines arise
Flesh and steel collide

We are strong
We will stand and fight
We are strong
We will stand and fight

With rage we ride into the flames
Striking with spears of hate,
At the heart where evil reigns
Holding the line from the charge
Of armored steeds
Gather around this deadly ground,
Come watch the war god bleed.

The chaos unseen rips
The midnight sky
Infernal machines arise
Flesh and steel collide

We are strong
We will stand and fight
We are strong
We will stand and fight

Victory or death, only time will tell
Synthetic resurrection,
From the heart of hell
Slowly they fall, as we watch
The daylight die
We spit and curse this hallowed earth
With our final battle cry,

The chaos unseen rips
The midnight sky
Infernal machines arise -
Flesh and steel collide

We are strong
We will stand and fight
We are strong
We will stand and fight

    X-WEWILLSTAND&FIGHT-X

  2. J.... K....

    I only found out about Symphony X about 4 years ago and I've been addicted ever since. Dammit, these guys have got to be the world's most perfect band, and I consider this to be the perfect metal song! If ever I meet someone who is unfamiliar with metal, Iconoclast would be the first song I would put on for them.

  3. U.... D....

    5:23 fucking epic

  4. j.... m....

    These riffs are vein tapping gold!

  5. M.... V....

    Still waiting and hoping for the TESD interview.

    Paradise and garden edens are two different themes pls be against them.

  18. s.... o....

    Don't ask them.

  19. J.... K....

    In my opinion this is the perfect metal song! It has symphonic elements, power metal elements, progressive elements...I could just go on and on. These guys all absolutely shred their asses off on this song!

  20. S.... ....

    I tried to do the drum part i could not do it.

  24. O.... O....

    I like the part from 0:01 to 10:51

  25. S.... S....

    I like how the side recommendations are Dream Theater. Definitely true, which is a good thing!!

  26. M.... P....

    I keep coming back to this song, it's just so captivating. The epic atmosphere, the incredible singing and the absolutely stellar guitar playing. I'm so glad I stumbled upon those guys some years ago, it all just fits so well together. I wish them all the success in the world, they truly deserve it!

  27. P.... ....

    Even though this could be my least favorite Symphony X album, this song is definately impressive.

    R.... E....

    michael romeo has that effect on mere mortals

  36. C.... M....

    I saw these guys live. There were major monitor problems and couldn't hear their parts properly...
    Still powered through and played and sang like real pros. It a great performance and it was even more impressive seeing them in adverse conditions. I wish more bands today sounded as good as these guys do live.

  37. C.... M....

    VICTORY OR DEATH!!!!

  38. A.... M....

    VICTORY OR DEATH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!HYPE!

  39. W.... W....

    Wow, people didn't like this...?

  40. N.... R....

    2:00 so fucking good and satisfying to listen

  41. M.... d....

    Amazing!!!

  42. J.... W....

    Final Boss fight in a video game where the badguys are machines or robots wiping out humanity.

  43. R.... B....

    You don't get it any better than Symphony X.
    Been listening every day for two years and some Pagans Mind.
    As a guitarist my playing has gone through the roof as a direct result of listening to the great Symphony X.
    The Riffs...the fucking glorious riffs.

  44. M.... ....

    Fucking awesome song that gives off some heavy System Shock vibes. Rock the fuck on!!!

  45. S.... O....

    This song just came out when I left the hospital for one reason I WIN MOTHERFUCKERS!!!

    Pd: thanks symphony x for bring me back to life

  46. D.... ....

    Dream who?

    D.... ....

    I like SX a lil more than DT but this comment is as old and petty as the meatheads perpetuating the Metallica/Megadeth debate.

  47. T.... ....

    https://www.facebook.com/groups/TheMetalABCs/

  48. J.... H....

    the intro makes me heavily think of 'Dance of Eternity' by Dream Theater.

  49. C.... J....

    Once again, I congratulate you gentlemen on your coming-up-band ditty. I STILL HAVE NO COCAINE!

  50. c.... ....

    from 5:22 to 7:00 amazing!

  51. p.... m....

    8:40, thats a victory! thanks russell!

    p.... m....

    I could loop that and listen to it all the way to work.

  52. C.... C....

    Woah incredible this is epic

    C.... C....

    Everyone figures that out sooner or later.

  53. R.... P....

    10:14-10:51 is just amazing

    R.... P....

    Rob Palmer Yeah, reminds me of Blackened intro by of course Metallica.

  54. d.... e....

    no words for this band. pure gold!!!!

  55. K.... C....

    One of my favorite songs by SX and that riff, oh that riff, the best ever...

    K.... C....

    This song?

    K.... C....

    +Kiko C no man, which riff

    K.... C....

    ah thought so. The one that always comes after the chorus. Very groovy and technical...

    K.... C....

    a riff - what riff

    K.... C....

    What the Fuck Did you Say ?
    I think he means the one at the 2nd minute.

  56. M.... P....

    Triplets' part is way sick. The rest of the song is really good, but (except for the intro) it's a copy - paste of various Symphony X' seconds songs (Evolution, Set the World on fire, and now Nevermore too for the very intro, and Domination stop at the same position of that song). Anyway, I like it very much: I guess we can save this track and Reign in Madness of Iconoclast. Oh, and When all is lost too, even if it seems something built on purpose, not moving as Sacrifice or Candlelight Fantasia (or Whispers)

    M.... P....

    Who cares if this is a copy of other SX songs? The song is too epic.

  57. N.... F....

    the beginning of this song makes me go "oh shit, I need to get going!" whatever that means lol it makes me anxious

    N.... F....

    i had the exact same feeling lol

    N.... F....

    That's what's great! I always start out the day with a hefty dose of stress hormones, makes me feel alive.

  58. P.... J....

    haven't listened to Symphony x for many years but this sounds like Evolution (Grand Design) from their previous album V. Just listen to the verse rythm of each song.

  59. D.... H....

    Rome es mi heroe desde el 2004 desde q era un bebe :3 el es compositor siempre lo fue.

  60. l.... w....

  66. M.... ....

  67. M.... ....

    who the fuck is snooki?

    M.... ....

  69. C.... M....

  70. v.... ....

    v.... ....

    wtf is NJ, must be a real shithole of a country to house such a depraved individual.

    v.... ....

    blasphemytard New Jersey

  71. H.... ....

    Romeo is a god for sure.

  72. M.... K....

    TheBest Song

  73. M.... ....

    How dare you even compare them. Snooki doesn't even exist compared to this

  74. M.... ....

    Fixed. I think

  75. E.... ....

    Your lyrics are wayyyyy off

  76. R.... P....

    Thanks for formulating my opinion.

    I want to add, 'that voice', very powerfull

  82. S.... ....

    The Spirit Carries On <3

  83. M.... ....

    Strange Deja Vu <3

  84. S.... ....

    Finally Free <3 :D

  85. d.... ....

    Home <3

  86. F.... P....

    6:24 ..... fap fap fap fap

  87. S.... ....

    Scenes From A Memory is still the best album of all time, along with SX's The New Mythology Suite.. :P (DreamTheater1985QL)

  88. d.... ....

    DT hasn't been the same since the 90's sadly and now without portnoy there's just no chance. This album however has strong points mixed in with extremely weak ones that ruin every song for me. I love some riffs and vocals but others just seem thrown in at the last second without any thought

    d.... ....

    lol dis isnt dt

  89. w.... ....

    Well it's not as harsh as death metal. However SX are still evolvolving. I think it helps too when prog bands can venture out and come back together. Brings other things together.
    Damn if only I can convince my wife about that theory. LOL

    w.... ....

    wolfgange63 learn to sing like that and I'm pretty sure she'll go for it

  90. w.... ....

    Yes it is since the mainstream will tell ya Bruce Springsteen and Bon Jovi is the best out of NJ

  91. S.... ....

    Yeah, it's kind of like multiplying by zero.

  92. L.... S....

    Dude that's not saying much.

  93. C.... ....

    Love this song.

  94. L.... M....

    I think new stuff better

  95. 0.... ....

    I find the straight metal feel refreshing coming from their perspective, though I agree if they keep up in this manner it would get a tad boring.

  96. F.... d....

    I see. There's a great demand from metalheads for this kind of stuff.
    Nevertheless, I still believe that they can still do some metal-progressive tune and still sound totally different from this usual straight-metal feel.

  97. 0.... ....

    I completely agree... A Dramatic Turn of Events is one of my favourite Dream Theater albums without a doubt.

  98. 0.... ....

    I think this song is fantastic. Greatly prefer Paradise Lost and Iconoclast to their older material, though by no means am I saying that their old material was bad. I'm just very content with the sound they have achieved with the last two albums.

  99. c.... ....

    stupid question:

    wjy are you even comparing symphony x to snooki and the rest of jersey shore?
