Van Canto - The Mission Lyrics

Algm br 2019

had this on my mp3 like 10y ago, and found it back just now after all this time

I have a theory that Van Canto was originally a Van Halen cover band who had their instruments stolen and now they're finding ways to make do.

DURUMMM

DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

DURUM

DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

DAN DAN DAAAN

wow, this was made on my birthyear

Anyone wants a good laugh, turn on captions... and watch the system slowly slip toward insanity...

Круто! До сих пор слушаю периодически.

I just love this song. True and Unique. Heroes! \M/

I am listening this in 2019, and I like it !

Wow they been going since 2006 .

Best chorus in the world.

Wish I'd found them sooner

I thought this was gonna be Queensryche. *sadface*

For years and years we waited
and now the time has come
to leave these barren lands
towards (new) horizons.

No matter what has happened
and what was said or done.
Words are to be to forgotten.
We will roam on!

We cross the gates of darkness
into the black of night.
We don't fear anybody:
(we) got the second sight.

We move a little further
towards the borderline.
Before the dawn of day
our souls come back to life.
And life comes back again.

The mission's to fight to be free again.
To stand our ground and to be immortal.
This is our mission so here we stand.
We have the right to be ourselves again.
The mission's to fight to be free again.

They held us down for so long
our backs against the wall
we didn't see a future,
did not hear the call.

But now that things have changed
now that our fears are small
we create a vision
(and we) face it - one for all.

We cross the gates of darkness
into the black of night.
We don't fear anybody:
(we) got the second sight.

We move a little further
towards the borderline.
Before the dawn of day
our souls come back to life.
And all I see, in front of me.
Every step I take is bringing me closer to me!

All that we are is everything we've ever been.
And what we'll be is what we are

For years and years we waited
And now the time has come
To leave these barren lands
Towards (new) horizons

No matter what has happened
And what was said or done
Words are to be to forgotten
We will roam on!

We cross the gates of darkness
Into the black of night
We don't fear anybody:
(We) got the second sight

We move a little further
Towards the borderline
Before the dawn of day
Our souls come back to life
And life comes back again

The mission's to fight to be free again
To stand our ground and to be immortal
This is our mission so here we stand
We have the right to be ourselves again
The mission's to fight to be free again

They held us down for so long
Our backs against the wall
We didn't see a future
Did not hear the call

But now that things have changed
Now that our fears are small
We create a vision
(And we) face it - one for all

We cross the gates of darkness
Into the black of night
We don't fear anybody:
(We) got the second sight

We move a little further
Towards the borderline
Before the dawn of day
Our souls come back to life
And all I see, in front of me
Every step I take is bringing me closer to me!

The mission's to fight to be free again
To stand our ground and to be immortal
This is our mission so here we stand
We have the right to be ourselves again

The mission's to fight to be free again

All
That we are
Is everything that we've ever been
-
(And what we'll be is what we are)
4x

That we are

What we'll be is what we are
(That - we - are)

What we'll be is what we are
(Everything)

What we'll be is what we are
Everything
(That - we - are)

And what we'll be is what we are

what we are
what we are
what we are
is everything we've ever been
3x

what we are
is everything we've ever been

And what we'll be is what we are

The mission's to fight to be free again
To stand our ground and to be immortal
This is our mission so here we stand
We have the right to be ourselves again
3x

The mission's to fight to be free again!

We will never let net neutrality die! Defend it to our last breath!!

This sounds like a theme song for the Ravagers.

Can we live the dream and leave the world of matter, the desert of our lives? Oh, the dream!

Spartacus and his team sings it when no one hear xp

Text of that song is awesome

Van Canto, you should come to Finland...

This song has the best chorus i've ever heard!

11k likes and 324 people who were put off by the intro and didn't listen any further.

Freeze014 o.O

This was from 2006?? Daaaaamn.
Loved seeing these guys live, would definitely see again if they come back to the UK :D

reminds me of something mormons would show you to make you convert. ~~~~"""the mission""~~~~

Never...fucking...stop

foda demais ♥♥♥

cade os br que gosta de van canto ai?

Aproveito pra perguntar.... Vi um clip deles anos atrás que o som das "guitarras" kkk apareciam escritos na tela. Mas não lembro qual música era ... Alguém sabe dizer?

Aqui crl sou fã desde 2006

he looks like a Victor, Wolverine brother xd

Very, very funny. The voices are privileged.

Soon it will be 10 years

Still waiting for concert in Poland. Why it so hard to cross the Oder?

Perhaps due to what happened in the last war...idk sorry

True...nothing is ending good, when Germans cross the border. xD

riddly diddly DUM DUM DUM
... Oh, wait a minute...

Doodilly doodilly doo mathafacka!

Caution: Listening to Van Canto may cause serious neck injury from excessive headbanging. Remember to always ALWAYS warm up neck muscles before pressing play!

Dat bass tho

RAN DANN DAHHH! RAN DANN DAHHH! Epic.

I love their voices...

Wow
This a great band

Im all fired up now

first time i saw this i was like WTF? but then it shut my mouth because it's sooo awesome

Van Canto en concert à Cidre et Dragons hier : juste épique

+SirMcPersonne Tu es si chanceux!

One of my first favorites. >:D
I always tell people, they speak the music of my soul.

It's pure miracle I have found them! And I couldn't be happier!

Gotta love Captain Intensity

which other band does this song ? i have heard this tune before but cannot put my finger on it particularly this part 0:49

+charter45 My research indicates it was original...?

+charter45


Nightwish did it first.

+Mick Grant same song name ?

+charter45


My mistake. I thought I was still on Wishmaster.

This song is Van Canto's, and no one has covered it.

As I discovered van cato now, it shall never be undiscovered.

ну че-весело так!!!

Down with the empire and the filthy thalmor, long live the high king Ulfric Stormcloak! For FREEDOM!

For the empire!

Very good 

Несколько лет назад "заболела" Van Canto, по сей день не отпускает )))))

lejendariooooo.....

why not take a cover of Dream Theater or dawn of victory

They may be good but I don't know that anyone could successfully cover dream theater. Also, it would be a sin to convert petrucci's god like guitar work to A Capella. That said, Van Canto is one of my favorite German bands right up there with Edguy and Masterplan. I just wish I had enough money to see them. (I live in the U.S.)

I just love the drum double bass part in this. It goes perfectly with the Chorus!

The mission: Riddly Diddly to the top

what does a woman do in a boy band, this is the worst band i ever heard 

Master level bait.

It's not a damn metal band, its a cappella band, where else are you gunna get the higher tones(not trying to be sexist, but women usually have higher pitch than men).

@DarkɆ How is not metal ? Because no guitar ?

@Chal Goodroe Because its lyrical based, not insturmental based. You could say its genre of arcapella is in a metal style do to most their covers, but otherwise, not directly a metal band.

Van Canto é tudo de bom pra se ouvir

Is this their own song? Because I saw a lot of covers. Just curious

While they do have a lot of covers, This is an original
.

@Erik Browne I think they do so many covers because they know it's interesting to hear the music with the ol' "Van Canto" treatment; they have plenty of their own songs, however, including this one.

This video was probably so awkward to make. Great song though Van Canto is my shit.

(.Y.) 1:00 :)

KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

@rodrigo antunes cool cool -.-''

john travolta is that you!!!! :P

Lieblingslied für die Ewigkeit♥

van canto ist die beste Band der Welt und ich nehme es als ein großes Vorbild, die Misl, die so schrecklich, ich denke, ist ist ein bisschen auf den Kopf van canto is the best band in the world and I take it as a great role model who Misl that is so terrible I think is a bit on the head van canto je nejlepší skupina na světě a beru ji jako velký vzor a kdo si mislý že je hrozná tak je podle mne trochu na hlavu

Por favor vengan a latino america siii saludos desde venezuela :D

Das Lied beginnt und hört auf mit einer Biene im Rückwärtsgang...

Mmmmuuuuus mmmmmus mmmmuuuuuus! :-D

We Seized the Day, from Demons & Wizards would be nice.

Yuri Myszkowski, I wold say Gunslinger.

They are just amazing!!!

господи, вот это эмоции. достойные оскара(простите что по Русски)

Ничего, мы тебя поняли)) 

People keep complaining about Inga and her boobs. If she didn't want people to take a glance, she wouldn't wear a shirt like that. Inga is BEAUTIFUL and if I had a body like hers, I would appreciate it just as much! There's nothing wrong with thinking she's attractive, and there's nothing wrong with someone like her wanting to flaunt it a little. We all come for the music, we won't lie. It's incredible! But there's nothing wrong with appreciating everything else too. :D

@AlbinoxAlligator Either I'm *really* not in the mood, or I am *way too* into metal; I didn't even NOTICE her, beyond her face and trying to hear her vocal part.

@AlbinoxAlligator People complaining about her showing too much skin is precisely why we can't, as a culture, have nice things. Her shirt isn't any more extreme than I've seen in office environments, and in fact until someone mentioned something my thought was that it was pretty conservative for a rock band. As you say, she's beautiful--and if people complain about that shirt, they're too immature for their opinions to matter.

@Aamedin100
Agreed.

AlbinoxAlligator Yeah exactly, it's her body she can wear whatever she wants. And btw why would anyone complain about it? Really though, if you're jealouse or something, keep it to yourself. lol

Dennis is showing even more cleavage, I'm not hearing anyone about that... :P

The mission's to fight to be free again
To stand our grounf and to be immortal
This is our mission so here we stand
We have to right to be ourself again.

Van Canto - Mission Succeeded. You are immortalized forever

Truly! It's interesting how I found the true meaning of this song after I saw them live yesterday :)

and ever

And ever !

And ever !

and ever!

Let's not act as if Inga is a passive element of the band and talking about her individually is bad. They themselves realize the value of having her, on top of any musical talent she may possess (and she has a VERY good voice, but then again, they all do), which is why she's featured so prominently in their videos and pictures despite often having a very subdued role in the music.

I don't think anyone should act like this is Inga + 5 random dudes, but if the band wants to have her as a mascot, I don't think talking about her is wrong.

After listening Rammstein's and Van Canto's songs, I've started to realy love Germany. I wish, sometime I'll manage to visit this country!

boobs über alles.

Come on, guy. We all know that she is beautiful, but do you really need to say it? It's just disrespectful to bring stuff like that up when the real perfection here is the music.

The Name sets the game.. Her name is Inga Scharf, and Scharf means Hot in german... ^^

Like a flower in a field of weeds, at least, to other men lol. Women are prettier when NOT around other women, right?

Metal a Capella is awesome

The mission's to fight to be free again.
To stand our ground and to be immortal.
This is our mission so here we stand.
We have the right to be ourselves again.
The mission's to fight to be free again.

Я угараю с них

like 300 *flex*

Your avatar is perfect

let's pretend we car more about their musical prowess for a second here...just to make sure they feel good about themselves.

and damn did they make it work well!

When they started they tried to do it that way, but the guy playing the drums almost passed out.

She's German...how's that even possible? xD

Это искусство!

how about using 2 beatboxers?

Dude get a braincheck, first of all Acapella needs female voices and second and most importent this beautiful lady her awsome voice completes it perfectly.

but still this is awsome!

BOOBIES

I think they tried full vocals, but making the drumming sounds was too exhausting for them.

I wonder why they didn't get a beatboxer or a vocal percussionist to do the beat instead of a drummer

"Нраица!"
