Iced Earth - Harbinger Of Fate Lyrics






When I was young I was different
there was more inside of me
so alone yet a sense of purpose
the guiding light of the order nurtured me
daunted by the truth revealed
what am I? what's my destiny?
a million souls, the priest incarnate
I am the one, I am the astral beast

[Chorus:]
I am the wicked, the dealer of fate
Harbinger of sorrow
I'm the assassin, the dealer of fate
Framing man's tomorrow

I thrive as the lone traveler
Trough the folds of time and space
the chosen one to foreshadow
the hand of god will eradicate this race

I am the past, I'm cure for sorrow
I am the now, I'm the every age
I'm the future ending mans tomorrow
the hand of god, the harbinger of fate

[Chorus]

Kingdoms will fall, empires crumble
seizing on the politics of hate
I am the one, the devil in the details
the hand of god, the harbinger of fate

[Chorus]

Iced Earth Harbinger Of Fate Comments
  1. T.... A....

    Have tour shirt it cost more then the ticket $20 shirt was $25 was GD tour

  2. E.... C....

    You remember that time Iced Earth fucked up a pretty good song with the stupidest bongo rhythm ever? Cause i sure do fucking remember.

  3. J.... W....

    I used to listen to this song and the album when I was 15, I would just cuddle my girlfriend on my bed listening to this majestic music, soon we would fuck. We fucked to the music of Gods.

  4. M.... W....

    AMAZING

  5. M.... W....

    AMAZING SONG🤘 The end is so epic💀

  6. G.... ....

    Anyone know what is chanting in (I think) Latin?

  7. j.... 5....

    it seems to be a dialogue, sorry  Trialogue between Jury , audience ,delinquent and the Butcher. His Delinquence seems Proved, but there is no  knowledge that the punishment of the maybe Killer, maybe dictator or whatever may cause more crimes as he or she died as a martyrer as punished by the jury.

  8. E.... R....

    este tema serua la convinacion perfecta de ripper y barllow dios los dos cantando serian inprecionantes en este album seria una leyenda jhon se equivoco al sacar a owens de este album con matt el duo hubiese sido epico el album de lo mejor desp del burhtt ofering

  9. T.... ....

    Still my fav song by them. <3. \m/

  10. U.... A....

    its a great song 

  11. A.... S....

    I dedicate this song to...Nelson Mandela! (Oh & I definately want to see that crazy, schizo sign the lyrics to this one!!! :^)
    -I don't really dedicate this the Nelson Mandela I was just being sarcastic...I'm sure there has been a buhjillion songs dedicated to him....all from BET of course. Lol.

  12. T.... S....

    My mom just called me retarded beyond comprehension. Apparently, I only exist to make everybody's life miserable.I just try to be myself, but all that I ever do is piss everybody off. I know I'll never have friends. The only thing that I can do is embrace my fate as the ender of all. I am the Harbinger Of Fate.

    T.... S....

    Be just yourself, that's great bro <3

    T.... S....

    boi doesnt get much edgier than this

    T.... S....

    @je moeder 5 years ago man when the people on youtube didnt think everything was edgy now we walk on egg shells cuz of lame ass reddit and forchan users youre cool only if youre a troll lame

  13. N.... ....

    Haha nice :P

  14. I.... ....

    That was me, I'm sorry but I didn't like that part at 4:46

  15. N.... F....

    Its so sad that this kind of music doesn't get the recognition that it deserves.

  16. O.... ....

    So epic!

  17. 5.... ....

    we dont feed trollz bra /b

  18. D.... ....

    True enough man, I love both of those guys as well

  19. e.... ....

    Ripper Owens with Iced Earth was pretty fucking epic. And then of course theres Dio...

    e.... ....

    yes these song is perfect for ripper

  20. e.... ....

    Actually there are metal bands that are so different, classifying them together as just "metal" would be just wrong. Take a Symphonic Metal band like Nightwish or Epica, now take a Metalcore band like All That Remains, then take a thrash band like metallica or megadeth, now take a british metal band like Judas Priest, then take a power metal band like Hammerfall, now take a black metal band like Bathory. Do you see my point? These bands are so diverse, its just plain wrong to group them together

  21. r.... ....

    Me.
    TROLOLOLOLOLOL

  22. A.... S....

    The Harbinger of Fate is the human race. There is no hand of GOD. We hold the power to determine our own destiny.

  23. h.... ....

    First true metal band was Black Sabbath... what the shit are you talking about? Metallica was the first of Thrash...

    h.... ....

    hopper11995 Overkill started in 1980, metallica in 82

  24. C.... G....

    dont worry they were just headbanging so hard which made them dizzy enough to miss the like button

  25. E.... B....

    Haha Maiden rules. My first metal band too. Because of them I love metal.

  26. D.... s....

    pfft... ozzy osbourne compared to Bring me the horizon..
    Maiden to metallica.

    ALLL VERY DIFFERENT

  27. R.... ....

    or maybe bieber's boyfriend man gaga.

  28. M.... ....

    Justin Bieber fans.

  29. j.... ....

    Who ever started doing these different classes of metal should be SHOT. to me there is only one METAL and its all Heavy........

  30. N.... ....

    Slipwhat? I don't give a fuck about bands I don't listen to... but I don't judge them either... their fans do their stuff, I do mine... just because I don't like it means, they are bad... I also don't like the meaning of subgenres... it really doesn't matter what genre a band is... just like it - or not!

  31. M.... B....

    First metal band was Metallica, and still to this day remains my favorite. I don't see the hate that Slipknot receives...I enjoy them and they have an ass of fans so obviously they are doing something right, and Corey Taylor is a pretty good vocalist, in my opinion at least.

    M.... B....

    Mason Bailey First metal band was Black Sabbath, Corey Taylor sucks

  32. D.... ....

    Judas Priest, I guess you can tell by my name, were my first metal band. In my mind only Matt Barlow impresses me as much with his vocals as Rob Halford.

  33. R.... C....

    ....continued. -College. Not to forget but some metal elitist say they are smarter than you and they know everything about other subjects. Human evolution, Human origin. They dare say that Professors from universities are stupid. But that is just my experience from encountering some elitist.

  34. R.... C....

    I see your point. I have come across a lot of " Metal Elitists " and my goodness do they bash every band they hear and say, " That isn't metal". I've been called a fag by them for listening to some metalcore just to hear what that kind of metal sounds like. Although I really don't like metalcore. I don't go around to videos and say they aren't metal. It is ignorant and shows how little their brains are. They think they are smarter, but they don't know that they may be talking to people who go to

  35. z.... ....

    i cant stand comments from metal 'purists' who completely look down upon bands that are different. His comment is ignorant. I love Iron Maiden, more so than Slipknot, but Slipknot aren't garbage

  36. R.... C....

    lol It's his opinion, brochacho.

  37. D.... ....

    damn how much i love pple fighting in yt :'D the most funniest thing is that your commenting in Iced Earth videos about BULLSHIT... to say that slipknot is trash and system of a down is stupidity its self do you know the fucking meaning of some SOAD's songs ? or slipknot's? you allways judge someone from the fucking genre ... btw im not talking about the now days wannabe metal bands like Asking Alexandria and stuff like that..

  38. z.... ....

    slipknot are not garbage

  39. M.... N....

    dude if you listen closely you can hear thrash just like system of a downs toxicity album. nu metal got a big influence from thrash. how do they give metal a bad name? you might was well say slayer or venom or iron maiden gives metal a bad name. they're fucking geniuses.

  40. y.... ....

    Not only does Slipknot give the metal genre a bad name, they also give my state a bad name for metal.

    And now none of my favorite bands come here. D:

  41. M.... N....

    man saying slipknots too heavy? theres way heavier bands than them lol.

  42. M.... N....

    its not all about the solos.I like to solo but if you focus to much on the solo you forget about how trully epic an entire song is. take pantera dimebag put a balance in that because not only were his solos amazing he made riffs tha were completly genius and mind blowing.

  43. M.... N....

    how does nu metal give metal a bad name its just a different approach to it. tslipknot are geniusus. they approched it from a thrashier side than limp bizkit. youre talkin t a guy whose a big thrash metal,death metal, and power metal fan. you can imagine after losing a close friend and band mate corey taylor would act like some what of a pissed off asshole.Its hard getting over that shit . hes a pretty good singer.And they are gods they kick ass and take names at every show they play

  44. M.... N....

    ok being really big into iron maiden and both slipknot. slipknot are gods man they give it a pretty damn good name because it shows how wide of a spectrum metal has. you need to listen to the heretic anthem and surfacing. those songs kick ass.

  45. l.... ....

    four people who loved the song so much they flipped their table over, then got confused when their screen was upside down.

  46. F.... P....

    But what Can I say... the more I hear the album, the more I love that.

  47. A.... B....

    @heavymetalidomeneas They were in a trance of the awesomness, they got lost in the abyss and pressed Dislike thinking it was "Super Like" which is higher then Like.

  48. C.... R....

    THINGS CHANGE ION LIFE JOHN SHAFFER DOESNT COMPOSE THE SAME WAY ANYMORE HIS SENSE OF WRITTING IS DIFFERENT NOW BUT HES STILL VERY GOOD AND TALENTED AND HES THE PROFESSIONAL AND WERE NOT SO RESPECT 4 LIFE HE WROTE SOME VERY GOOD ALBUMS IN THE 80s AND 90s JUST THE 2000s ARE DIFFERENT BUT HE CANT SAY HE SUCKS HES GOOD JUST THE INDUSTRY HAS EVOLVED

  49. D.... S....

    @heavymetalidomeneas four idiots, who happen to be musically uneducated.

  50. p.... ....

    I believe that this album is probably one of their worst ones, but it's still pretty good. Greetings from Hellas

  51. M.... P....

    @hepatitis123
    Ain't that the truth!

  52. h.... ....

    @bergeron1137 Music would have ceased to exist if Maiden never formed.

  53. M.... P....

    same as seemingly everyone else, Iron Maiden was my gateway, and my deepest love. but second upon the podium is Iced Earth. A band that I would not know, but also would not exist, without the seminal Maiden.

  54. s.... ....

    @heavymetalidomeneas someone must have twitched when trying to click the like button

  55. j.... ....

    @crazybaseballdude12 True!

  56. K.... ....

    This album is so god damn underrated

  57. p.... ....

    @crazybaseballdude12 thank you, about time more people figured out that slipknot are terrible and that iron maiden and iced earth are fantastic

  58. V.... M....

    Love the ending! =)

  59. C.... A....

    La amo saludo desde chile <3

  60. K.... ....

    @crazybaseballdude12 It seems like it's natural to like Iced if you like Maiden. The first metal band I fell in love with is Maiden, and after that I tried to listen to uncoutable others, but no one was close to Maiden, until I found Iced. I love this band, but Maiden is no. 1 though ;)

  61. N.... N....

    gamaei

  62. R.... B....

    @ExtremelyCurse i prefer barlow, that's true, but cmon! tim owens is fucking good too!

  63. b.... ....

    Would have been nice had Tim been re-hired.

  64. S.... ....

    @nubirski I don't think he's more emotional than Matt, I'd say they have different ways of showing emotion while singing, but Tim was defintely a great add to the band when Matt left, they both are truely unique singers.

  65. k.... ....

    Ripper was a fresh air to the band. Both in Judas Priest and in Iced Earth. Much more emotional.

  66. T.... H....

    @myvidutube Ive always wanted a movie about them. If done well it would be so good.

  67. T.... C....

    @BalderLucifer

    I agree but I wouldn't of swapped them out on the albums they sang on

  68. K.... R....

    Who the HELL pressed dislike????

  69. p.... ....

    @TheAmeader that would make a kickass AMV!

  70. s.... ....

    I'm the assassian the dealer of fate ^^

  71. B.... ....

    Schaffer and Barlow rule IE. Plus Matt's married to Schaffers sister how awesome ain't that? Barlows range in vocals is amazing and Ripper never had the emotional part that is needed for IE works. Barlow has it all; high-pitch, dark vocals, emotional vocals and power above else. He fits IE so perfect that nothing else compares to him. Ripper is good, but Barlow fits for IE-metal. Those who say that Glorious Burden was written for Tim is wrong, due to that the songs were written before Matt left.

  72. B.... ....

    @myvidutube There are rumors thats says that Jon is going to make a comic series out of the Set Abominae Saga. It's going to be written by Jon and Illustrated by guys that worked with Spawn, but then again this is just rumors.

  73. i.... ....

    i compared this guy with primer fear singer both are good and the style almost are the same

  74. i.... ....

    @uniquesolo96 i'm agee with you the only album from slipknot i love is the first one the another ones sucks and they no have good solos, this new guy from iced earth is awesome

  75. K.... ....

    @projectzero101

    i have to disagree ..

    barlows vocal range goes actually more in the lowers than the rippers does.. but barlows range in the higher notes are for his general vocal also incredibly high!

    so all in all
    his voice got a rather huge spectrum!

  76. l.... ....

    @krismason123456789 i would say slipknot is everyone's first metal band, because up until 2007 i had no clue the thrash metal metallica even existed, i had only heard the crap from st anger and load. and that's not a very good definition of "heavy metal", but then again, neither is slipknot.

  77. A.... K....

    @karrazaki89 James' best work were just Mustaine rewrites 'Four Horsemen' 'Ride the Lightning' ETC ETC... James isn't that great of a writer (See black album to Death Magenetic)

    Metallica is like everyones *first* metal band, and they just think its fucking fantastic, lawl, i honestly don't see it.

  78. R.... H....

    @krismason123456789 Nevertheless they have one of the best writers and composers in thrash, and thats James Hetfield.

  79. A.... K....

    Kids still bringing Metallica into Videos. Sad.

  80. A.... W....

    @YoGurtDale Amen, brother.

  81. Y.... ....

    @krismason123456789 its not kirks fault hes overated and they are actually really good its just too bad you dont agree. by the way iced earth is the best band in the world. i just dont think this album is as good as the other ones

  82. A.... K....

    @YoGurtDale That i can't understand that? I just bought the first four Metallica albums because everyone and there mother says that even though the other half of there catalogue is terrible that they are masterpieces... besides Mustaines material, Metallica is a pretty below average band... how they even compare to bands like Slayer and Megadeth is beyond me, they have the most overrated Drummer and Lead guitarist in the genre and the best thing about there band died in the 80's =[

  83. Y.... ....

    @krismason123456789 um yeah their later stuff is not that great but the first four albums are very good....sad you cant understand that

  84. A.... K....

    @YoGurtDale no, they are not, Metallica is pretty bad

  85. A.... K....

    @linkinparkmomo nooo.... are you implying they made anything good (besides when they used Dave Mustaine's materiel)?

  86. C.... ....

    Why the fuck does Iced Earth have like the two most awesome Singers EVER!?

  87. Y.... ....

    iced earth and metallica are top best bands ever

  88. S.... ....

    @buddthumper Some time ago I had a chance to listen to their whole discography for a while, and this is the song i remembered the most, thus liked the most. So yeah, IMO this is their best song. The feeling while listening is just epic.

  89. b.... ....

    @SladeWins clearly you haven't heard all of iced earth's songs

  90. I.... M....

    i had a t-shirt with that picture on it from them, it was my favorite! but i gave it go my GF lthe night before i left to come back to NY cuz its a ldr. she loves it! and i love her! and i love the band too ! xD

  91. S.... ....

    Their best song. Period.

  92. c.... ....

    @otheirony618 "You will feel this shepard!"

  93. o.... ....

    ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL

  94. S.... J....

    Iced Earth >>>>>>>>>> Metallica

  95. H.... a....

    @zSliz1 i think so sounds like great hansi

  96. H.... a....

    i love this song, one of the best on crucible of man.
    i also like i walk alone and a gift or a curse

  97. j.... ....

    @wealldie12 next time just say "fuck you. I want Iced Earth"

  98. R.... F....

    i like the explosive tone in this song about at 1:00

  99. S.... J....

    is hansi kursch singing backup vocals in this song?
