Fates Warning - Kyrie Eleison Lyrics

interesting they say -fate warning- in the lyrics,i saw these guys once at T.A. VERNS MILWAUKEE WI

The perfect mix of Power and Prog metal. Pogger Metal.

Much better song than Mr. Mister

Crispin Glover was such a weirdo in that movie but he plays a weirdo and all movies I know but this one just the fact that he played a metalhead

I fuck with this...

Much better than modern heavy metal.

"John is not an asshole!"

Now Biff...

This song is so killer.

perfect build up to the chorus, love how doom-y sounding they get with the "Lady in black" section, then they soar with the chorus. awesome contrast.

Layne..........

Rivers edge introduced me to this song and the band...

What do YOU know about Feck??!

C'mon, I'm dying for a joint

Jackson RRXT more than I probably should

This song FUCKING. rips it's like having a stroke ! Think that calls for a fatty for your daddy,-yo I'm sorry 5000 sneak ya later✌

(^<^) very nice

Every time I hear this song I think of The River's Edge.

Yup same here

watching rivers edge right now

my dude

robert pacho dude that movie is part of my youth...I felt like a member of the cast I watched it so much...I was on that riversedge when John murdered the girl

robert pacho that is such a great movie.

Anyone know any covers of this? I dig everything except that operatic style heavy metal singing. It's like listening to Frankie Valli.

you clearly weren't here for metal of such an AWESOME time... !!! this was massive ...

that said , the Frankie valli joke was funny...

@Big/Badass BLUES Guitar​ Heh. Now I want a cover of this, and a parody substituting the lyrics with a medley of "Sherry," "Big Girls Don't Cry," "Walk Like a Man," and "Can't Take My Eyes Off You." 🤘🤘

Terry Nugent Yeah, I love it. Delicious. Eat it all the time. Good point.

Terry Nugent Yes, please. Let me at it. Let's fuck.

Rivers edge is how I found Fates Warning.  One of my all time favorite bands.

same here

Bought this LP when it came out...Loved it then and never understood how this band never became "bigger" in the metal scene. Still prefer John Arch to Ray Alder.

Yup same here

killer soundtrack and film is too!

This song was playing while Layne was driving to the Rivers Edge

+Kendall2001 I literally have no idea why it's not. The movie is so fucking great. It's weird how many "rock/metal" themed 80's movies there were, but this one captures the real essence of it perfectly.

+fourcrippledhorses At the time i thought the skull on keayna reeves, jacket was fake , But long run doesn't matter, old english' bud in bottles runnin streets (guitarded center little bastards outside ill wait in parking lot, just to get em in headlock ) no reason, Personal, i gotta steal this joint mom , we'll talk later, dont cry i gotta take this joint , Cm on! Dope! Dude'' So you got any dope? I wouldn't even joke about thaaaat, .. Get your numbchucks i know where we can get gun, You seee thaaaat? Feck! Feck! knock knock ! Here i come points gun in his face My friend, you say? Ahh cm on feck just a couple joints, '(guilty)' You say your my friend? Points gun' watchin you?? Man, She had it comin! Crispan glover is all' '' I know feck women are evil.''. (guilty) , their still after me, you know?.. slams door ,, Alright 'feck whatever' thanks for the weed! see ya! Inside feck turns looks toward his rubber doll, your my friend. In the classroom Im laughin haha! i can't laughin was real! early 80s teachers ex hippy's hah!

+Crimson†Krypt George Mc Fly the headbanger...

+Danny Hood you're right... when they were either going to find her body or move it or something. .. the song in Layne's car that he's referring to was DIE BY THE SWORD , from slayer ... great soundtrack in that flick... agent orange too...

I POKED at it with a STICK

Rivers Edge movie helped me find this song. This is killer!

What an amazing album!

It's a shame so many early metal albums suffered from poor studio recording. This isn't terrible, but it's not great. some bands like the first Overkill album sound like they were recorded in a tin can.

Is this Spinal Tap?

great tune

great fucking tune

Kyrie Eleison , God bless(or show mercy depending), christe eleison Chris bless

Feck! What you you dying in there?

what do you think this car runs on gods own methane?

best movie ever fucking made!

FATES WARNING RULES!

no ..in greek this means "god-lord show mercy"

i thought kyrie eleison is a girl's name.haha

0:28 - 0:47 is heavy as a motherfucker. Great example of how a combination of mere power chords forms a narrative.

Rivers Edge Bitches!!

how the fuck did you notice that? lol

i thought it meant to support gay asian rites

@morgolorth i thought it meant lord have mercy...same thing i guess

@VideoGameMetal01 o by saying that ur trying to convince me that FATES WARNING is "tough man" music? roflmao

if i told u what i listen to u'd prolly piss ur panties

@protsimer no shit!

John Arch - Privileged Voice

It's no wonder. I think Latin was very much influenced by the Greek language. In general, the Romans occupied the divided city-states of Greece with superior armed forces, but thei Roman culture was eventually dominated by the "superior" Greek one.
p.s. I'm Greek. :)

@protsimer Oh, that's weird. I just assumed it was latin because that's the language that ought to have been used by the Roman priests, who would have written the mass.

Actually, just looked this up, apparently the entire mass was still given in Latin, but Greek was an older, traditional style of giving the mass, and just the kyrie eleison part was preserved for Latin services. Food for thought, I guess.

@blitzforthewin It's not latin. It's Greek. The chorus you also mention and translate accurately is also Greek,.

evlogison...

@morgolorth It's actually latin. The name, and the chorus itself, comes from the dies irae, which is spoken at funerals. The chorus, "Kyrie Eleison, Christe Eleison" is translated to lord have mercy, christ have mercy. Somehow, knowing this origin makes the sound that much more awesome.

Also, maybe I should put in my will that I want the priest doing my funeral service to say the dies irae in this style instead

heavy track. Luv this band.

yes kyrie eleison (κύριε ελεισον) means 'lord show mercy' το ξέρω (means i know)

m 9imizei tn prwto disko apo iced earth.... ein i idea m?

re paidia pos to leei etsi to kirie eleison...XD alla daxei den peirazei akoma k me asteia profora to tragoudi ta spaei

@morgolorth it means lord HAVE mercy

@uzickimajmunac Dude Catholics still use Latin in Mass all the time, especially during Lent. You're obviously not Catholic. We used to say the whole mass in Latin up until Vatican II. We also still use some Greek sometimes, particularly during the Kyrie in Lent. Greek was actually one of the first languages the mass was said in. Kyrie Eleison means "Lord have mercy."

etsi re.....ellinares gia panta na goustaroume

I'll have to be honest this isn't the best song in the album. but its still good :)

@manenir DO YOU SPEAK GREEK??

actually "kurie eleison" comes from ancient greek and is one of the most commonly used hymns in the catholic church, so this is not really "greek" By the way it has been used by rock bands (in the movie easy rider) and most notably by death metal bands. My favourite is the opening tune of "graves of the archangels" by Dead Congregation, which is THE GREATEST greek death metal band

@alexanderpyro Are you a musician ? I didn't mean to sound rude , only people Ive spoke to who know musicians would say the touring is where a lot of money comes in . There are pros and cons with almost every job , so if a musician can't tolerate being away from home for a few months then maybe they should choose anther profession .

"You think i would least rate a Michelob"

oh,it's warm even!

@DihColorado. I assume you meant that in a good way. Hahaha...because this song is awesome!

wow this is shit lol

Christe eleison!!!
Smashing song!!

this song makes me wanna watch the movie "river's edge" lol.

i always thought this song was about a girl named "kyrie eleison" lol.i didn't know it means lord show mercy in greek.

@konerak9 it wasnt easy to get when i got their 1st 3 albums from a small record store in San Diego back in '91. being a small store they had to order them for me.

@Angrist1 yeah , ok , like they don't make enough money from touring , fuck that shit I say

@uzickimajmunac Catholics do use latin, except for this part of the mass, I believe. I'm not totally sure, 'cause I'm protestant, but if I remember correctly, that's what I learned in my music history class.

cristo ten piedad...(8)(8)

@Angrist1 i have ths on a record got it when it first came out now i want it on cd to.people should always buy the music of the bands they like.i hate it when everyone says just get it for free.do you go to work for free,no .this is there job.if they can't suport themselves with there music then they will have to get a job and stop making music.

@Angrist1

yeah, you're right. If this music means something to you, support the bands/metal/scene and pay for it!

or can't find the album. I have never seen any of these albums at any stores where i live.

This is the version played in all the contemporary Catholic masses.

@Angrist1 Even some more mainstream stuff is over 20$...
What bands are you talking about?...

@supmayne1
I don't know what kind of bands you listen to- but even the rarest stuff is on ebay one time. I haven't payed more than 20$ for any of my Cds and I really don't own much "mainstream" stuff but a shitload of classic Heavy Metal.

Btw- There's a re-release of The Spectre Within for 12$ in the shadowkingdom records shop.

@Angrist1 I guess you buy albums that are over 50$?... Most bands I listen to are out of print so I download them
Plus at a minimum they cost 20$... I own like 26 heavy metal CD's

@Angrist1

lol, I've had this CD for 25 years!

bought this album when it came out, I liked the cover.
ofcourse I was an immediate fan.
saw them play in San diefo, when Psychotic Waltz opened for them.
then met and hung out with the band.
good times.

I put this song in my last will 15 years ago. It should be played at my funural!
Its amazing, but not the best song from the album i come to think now, but appropiate i guess.

This is the song that totally got me into Fates Warning. Before that, I mostly listened to other great US classic progressive power metal like early Steel Prophet. When this song got me hooked, I instantly bought more Fates Warning albums. :) Great times!

it sounds so funny hehhehe :D baut i adore this song :D:D

@Angrist1 I totally agree with you. Copy kills music!

yeaaah!! I'm a greek so i know it!! :P :P

Arch kind of reminds me of a dickinson meets halford with the harmonies of a king diamond. The lyrics were badass also.

i hear this and i remember jamming in my 85 mustang and smoking a big fat one!!!!!!

john's voice makes tates and dickinson sound enemic!!!!!

Joe Trout QueensMaiden

Greg Berry \m/(-_-)\m/

That is exactly my thoughts it is a shame that this band and even Queensryche are not as known as they deserve! Sometimes John Arch sounds like Bruce Dickinson, and sometimes he sounds like Geoff Tate.

HEHE...The first time I listen Fates Warning I though it was the band what Dickinson had before Iron Maiden or some alternative band with Dickinson in vocals...well, it happened in 1985or 86, I guess...You're not the only one who was wrong, Mr. Jesusgnr12

it's called Avalon, i just looked it up

every time i see this album cover i think of that one from "Roxy Music", idk what its called cause i dont listen to them though.

Why do you idiots always want songs for free?
If you like this band support them and buy the CD!

Aarghhhhhhhhhh !!!
Real good ol' Fates Warning time !!!
Sorry, but I have nothing with the new shit, this is what FW should stand for !!!
