Volbeat - The Everlasting Lyrics






Greet the fire!
I live inside the burning flame
Presenting what you know as pain and it hurts
To see thy loved ones disappear
Return to dust and to silence

I welcome you stranger for what you were
I'm passing you over unto this world
We're high on the mountain, let go and see
The embers' glow will set you free
Fly with the silence and feed the soul
It's the everlasting leaving home
Your memory will live forevermore

Greet the fire!
I live inside the burning flame
Presenting what you know as pain and it hurts
To see thy loved ones disappear
Return to dust and to silence

I welcome you stranger for what you were
I'm passing you over unto this world
We're high on the mountain, let go and see
The embers' glow will set you free
Fly with the silence and feed the soul
It's the everlasting leaving home
Your memory will live forevermore

You wear your scars with pride and joy
What doesn't kill you will make you strong
Sadness wins and sadness falls
Now find the balance and make it yours
Life goes on, and on, and on
On and on and on
You saw the light when you were born
You step back into it when you are gone

Greet the fire!
I live inside the burning flame
Presenting what you know as pain and it hurts
To see thy loved ones disappear
Return to dust and to silence

We're high on the mountain, let go and flee
The embers' glow is the everlasting
Fly with the silence, let go of me
We're leaving home with the everlasting

Oh
The everlasting
Oh

  1. C.... F....

    Super album.

  2. d.... t....

    Cant argue this live version of the everlasting sounds over 9000 times better then the studio version.

  3. K.... F....

    The lead guitar sounds so sick in this video. Honestly this CD just gets better and better every time I listen to it. It’s going right up to the top of all time best cds. Cmon from top to fkn bottom. Holy shit what an emotional ride🤘🤟🤟🤘🤟

  4. J.... M....

    This song talks about life, from the time we are born and see the light until we die and return to it

  5. E.... S....

    Better than on album.

  6. B.... L....

    3аебись

  7. S.... ....

    Best song of the new album for me. Defenitly old school Metallica influence (orion) but nowadays im more fan of Volbeat. See you in november in Amsterdam🤘🤘

    S.... ....

    And i so think too!)

  8. M.... Y....

    My fav track from the new album

  9. �.... �....

    Amazing heavy metal!

  10. b.... ....

    This better not be pro shot shitty job

  11. D.... D....

    DOMINUS RETURNS 😈

  12. :.... v....

    They are so good in live, normally the groups lost so mutch in live but volbeat its incredible

  13. S.... P....

    Embaressing.

  14. N.... M....

    How does this amazing song harmonize on an album with the other garbage (singles) they have released from the new album so far?

  15. G.... T....

    Amazing performance, as always! Michael, Rob and the boys rulez!

  16. J.... M....

    Man they sounds great. Can't wait for the new album

  17. C.... ....

    Big Volbeat fan myself but here in Scotland , We'd call that a 'fucken shambles'. I need to open my windows to get the smell of cheese out of my house. I am genuinely gutted that this is where they've found themselves. The 'high five' midway through the performance almost made me a wee bit sick in my gub. Such a shame. Dont even want to know why the boxing ring is there but I suspect its for a performance of the other tune that gets auto-skipped. Devastated fan here .

  18. E.... O....

    This one is way better than that Leviatan song..Not because its heavier..Its just better.

  19. S.... L....

    I love these guys!

  20. J.... P....

    Come back to Idaho 😁

  21. S.... M....

    Here to cleanse my ears after Parasite. LOVE THIS SONG. Hope the rest of the record has a sound like this.

  22. J.... V....

    Now that's what I'm taking about

  23. M.... H....

    These guys send shivers down my back and legs! 60 years young and I still love screaming metal and pounding drums! @Volbeat is #TheBOMB

    M.... H....

    support band's lisng songs live life
    thanks volbet misc evryones else thank u ivan

  24. P.... P....

    What happened to rockabilly and the early '60s adaptations? That was what made Volbeat so cool.

    P.... P....

    yeah man, you get it! :)

    P.... P....

    Peter Pandemonium it hasn’t gone away:
    Pelvis on Fire
    Sorry Sack of Bones

  25. E.... ....

    Saw them last night opening up for Godsmack and it was almost as if they turned up the suck so they wouldn’t steal the show. I’ve seen them before and the only new song was this one which brought me here and this video is definitely better than what I saw. Still a good show.

  26. M.... O....

    why that half italian twat is louder than the rest of an ex Danish band

  27. M.... O....

    fuck rob whatever caggiano

  28. K.... ....

    Saw this live last Saturday in Milwaukee. I cannot wait for the studio version!

  29. R.... M....

    Volbeat's drummer and bass player have the most boring image in the history of rock bands...

    R.... M....

    honestly that's because drumming is very physically exhausting so he can't be so energetic. I dont get the part about the bassist tho he's doing fine

    R.... M....

    @Cedrock Maybe I was too hard on the bass player, but the drummer? Nah I'm right...I understand it's probably just his personality, but that is unusual for a rock drummer...normally they are the flamboyant type...

    R.... M....

    @REBEL METAL lars, although a lot of people consider him an average or below average drummer has a lot of energy on stage, but volbeat's drummer looks like he is in pain tbh

    R.... M....

    Bring back the old bassist! This new one just prances up and down the stand flicking hand over the strings in such a camp way it doesn’t suit volbeat! Hope he’s a one album wonder!

  30. R.... M....

    Strange thing is, when Rob joined Volbeat, I figured they would be heavier than ever...instead they went the opposite way...Seal The Deal was commercial and boring as hell...I hope they redeem themselves...

    R.... M....

    Plastic fan... Every volbeat song has a change in loop and genre which what makes them unique... They can play anything and make it sound awesome

    R.... M....

    @Callum Stannardthis one, I agree!

  31. R.... W....

    I can't wait to rock the F out of this album whenever it comes. They will here it all the way in Denmark!

  32. B.... F....

    Just seen you guys April 19th at Van andel arena in Grand rapids Michigan. Best concert I've ever been to you guys 🤘

  33. e.... j....

    ya got tic,s london ont yaaaaa

  37. D.... V....

  38. B.... D....

    someone tab this pleasee

  39. �.... �....

    Super! Це є справжня музика яка викликає тільки позитивні емоції. Volbeat, Welcome to Ukraine.

  40. M.... W....

    🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼👌🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

  41. M.... O....

    that cunt of bass player is no t cool

  42. C.... ....

    Yeah this is amazing, Jon Larsen is such an underrated drummer, so much of the beat and rhythm is really carried by him. He's such a strong part of the drive of the songs. He does not need to be flashy, he's a perfect compliment to the lead section. He plays the perfect parts for the song. I hope these guys stick around like the Rolling Stones and are still playing into their 70's. I don't want to live in a world where Volbeat isn't a thing anymore.

    C.... ....

    Well said brother

    C.... ....

    That is my thoughts, bro!

    C.... ....

    Here with you, cant tell you how much I fear losing them in my lifetime

    C.... ....

    CrimsonDeathBed now im from same city,but think that,,jon the drummer,,is to die 4,❤️❤️🥇🥇

  43. B.... 8....

    His voice😍😍😍
    Something about it just makes my soul happy.

  44. T.... D....

    Metallica Now That We're Dead anyone? In the beginning.

    T.... D....

    Not at all. But it gives me Black Album vibes.

  45. E.... N....

    Awesome new song..!

  46. X.... G....

    I’m gunna save enough for back stage passes and smoke a joint with Rob ❤️ 2019 goal #1

  47. D.... ....

    They played this last time I saw them, in New Jersey. I'm pretty sure it was the first time they played it live. I love them so much!

    D.... ....

    If it was in 2017 then it was, Was it only about two minutes?

  48. C.... M....

    Its more music, not great

  49. L.... L....

    O.... C....

    O.... C....

    ODINS CHOSEN Pop or hard fans- who cares? Volbeat’s music never disappoints.

  56. d.... s....

    I can’t stop listening to it 🎶🎵🎶🤟🤟

  58. L.... T....

    Didn't the guy in the black cap play in anthrax once?the other guitar player?

    L.... T....

    Yeah, that's Rob Caggiano. He'd already left Anthrax and was working with Volbeat as the record producer for Outlaw Gentlemen and Shady ladies and they liked his work so much they signed him to the band.

  59. m.... ....

    Why's it in Mono?

  60. M.... K....

    :D Anna&Krisse :D

  61. C.... G....

  66. D.... ....

    Wow 😍😍😍 good Song

  73. P.... W....

    Finally less pop, but it’s still there.... Why this pop-rock?

    P.... W....

    They’re gonna use Bieber’s crowd soon. I listen much less to volbeat nowadays except the old stuff. 🤘

  74. B.... D....

    Absolutely brilliant can't wait for new live album sounds great so far.

  75. D.... ....

    I don't know any band where EVERY Song sounds the same...

    D.... ....

    Yea ok..Do these sound the same? I can list a dozen more that don’t sound alike.

    Evelyn
    16 Dollars
    Lonesome Rider
    Dead But Rising
    A Moment Forever

  76. K.... ....

    So hyped for this! My girl asked what I wanted for Christmas and this album was my answer . Volbeat has always been my favorite group

    Cast the fire!
    I live inside the burning flame
    Presenting what you know as pain and it hurts
    To see thy loved one disappear
    Return to dust and to silence!

    I welcome you stranger for what you were
    I’m passing you over onto this world

    We’re high on the mountain, let go and see
    The ember’s glow will set you free
    Fly with the sirens
    And free the soul
    It’s The Everlasting leaving home

    Your memory will live forever more

    Cast the fire!
    I live inside the burning flame
    Presenting what you know as pain and it hurts
    To see thy loved ones disappear
    Return to dust and to silence!

    I’m passing you over onto this world
    I welcome you stranger, for what you are
    Up high on the mountain, the goal is set
    The ember’s glow will set you free
    Fly with the sirens and free the soul
    The Everlasting leaving home

    Your memory will live forevermore

    You wear your scars with pride and joy
    What doesn't kill you will make you strong
    Sadness wins and sadness lose
    You find the balance and make it yours

    And life goes on, and on, and on
    On and on and on
    You saw the light when you were born
    I step back while I truly care where you go (...maybe?...)

    So you cast the fire!
    I live inside the burning flame
    Presenting what you know as pain and it hurts
    To see thy loved one disappear
    Return to dust and to silence

    We’re high on the mountain
    Let go once there
    The embers glow
    It’s The Everlasting

    Fly with the sirens
    Let go of me
    The embers glow
    It’s The Everlasting

    It’s The Everlasting

    X.... ....

    OH my!!! i knew the lyrics had to be great but i never expected, it would be so much!!!!, you sr are da real MVP!!

    X.... ....

    2018 Person of the Year goes to you brother.

    X.... ....

    You got a couple lines wrong. “I welcome you stranger for what you were” “fly with the silence and feed the soul”

  88. J.... Y....

    I'm going to bu this album when it comes out.

  89. R.... N....

    This is not Volbeat

  90. M.... W....

    They played this song in Dublin Ireland last time. Good song but very very weird structure... cannot wait for a new album anyway, Volbeat never disappoints.

  91. P.... L....

    I’m hoping for a new studio album next year!

  92. N.... K....

    Sweet!! Please, PLEASE come to ROCK IM PARK/AM RING 2018 \m/

  93. R.... B....

    There is not a single song by Volbeat i dont love. I am 46 never really had a favorite band untill i found " I only want to be with you" on youtube in 2007 you have been by far my favorite ever since. Can't wait to to see you again for the 4th time in Denver. Rock on Volbeat.

    R.... B....

    Been to all of their Denver shows, except will miss this year, but will see them in Sturgis. Sucks when they aren't headlining because the show is too short. They really need to have more US Headlining gigs.

  94. D.... ....

    The chorus and bridge before the solo prevents this from being a good/great song.

    D.... ....

    Dillon Harris Nobody giveaways fuck what you think

  95. L.... x....

    🤘🤘🤘🤘💕💕💕💕🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 love it 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

  96. C.... M....

    Not as good as their older stuff. Not nearly as catchy

    C.... M....

    Whaaa?!? This is one of their best in my opinion. They know how to vibe his voice with the Instruments and its magic.

    C.... M....

    @Amy McClure yea the 1 second long forevermore part sounds cool. It's a wandering melody, gets lost. That's just me. They need a new WE or LOLA MONTEZ imo. This is just metal noises mostly. Slow natives like that

    C.... M....

    Bob Ayaiga Evolve Grow and Evoke

    C.... M....

    @Chad Mulligan metal noises ur mama

  97. c.... p....

    Excellent! Is he one of the best voices in rock/metal or what?

    c.... p....

    It's rock

    c.... p....

    ROCK N' METAL :D

    c.... p....

    Poulsen has one of the best voices in the music industry as a whole in my opinion

    c.... p....

    YASSSS!

  98. M.... C....

    Oh this is a new song is it i was wondering why don't i know this but it sounds great

  99. g.... ....

    Hmmm... sorry... maybe I listened to too much Ghost the last months, but this sounds like a weird mashup of several Volbeat songs and not like a new song. Maybe I listened to too much Volbeat. Solo is boring, as every solo since Caggiano joined the Band... this aint new stuff... this is boring. Think new guys!

    g.... ....

    The Devil's Bleeding Crown has a good solo. And it did sound a bit weird but I would really call it a mash up kind of weird.

    g.... ....

    Caggiano´s solos boring? Wtf is wrong with you. Hes probably one of the most groovy and talented unique guitarists out there. His work is everything else but boring. They improved a lot since he joined. Yes the last album was trashy radio rock in my opinion. But they wanted to try something like that so i accepted it. This sounds waaaay better and totally like old Volbeat

    g.... ....

    Totally agree with you, it isn't something new or exciting and it's nothing I haven't heard done better many times before. They've been getting more and more boring ever since Rob joined the band, his solos are boring, annoying and uninteresting and he doesn't bring anything unique or interesting to the band's sound. Jon's drumming has also been getting much simpler and more boring since Outlaw Gentlemen & Shady ladies, along with the guitarwork on the albums. The only thing that is still distinctly Volbeat nowadays is Michael's voice, but it too has seen better days. I just expect so much more from these guys and their new material just leaves me disappointed.

    g.... ....

    @Obi-Wan Kenobi the last album was shit but thats only because they practically got rid of everything Volbeat does including heavy metal. But thats not Robs fault and he has absolutely amazing and melodic chops. And the style of the last album was an experiment which you NEED as a musician. Not experimenting drives you insane. So we should be happy for them because they developed as musicians. For themselves not for us but thats even more important than caring for fans

  100. S.... W....

    Mother of God 😳......take my money now......
