In Hearts Wake - Skydancer Lyrics






We're dancing on top of the world
Looking down on places
That cease to exist
We need a reason to turn our backs
Forced to create steel towers of death
We're fearless on the edge of the earth
Giving all these people
A chance to persist
We need a reason to turn our backs
Building a future with so many cracks

Remember where you first called home
Reclaim the life of the skydancer
Restore what you called your own
Return where you run wild and free

[Chorus:]
Remember where you first called home
You're never gonna see it
Till you're dancing on top of the world
Restore what you called your own
Return where you run wild and free

There's dying in the streets
The hungry cannot eat
The rich fuel the genocide

Every angle
Bound by the concrete jungle
Unconscious
Can we afford to live this way?

Abandoned and forsaken
Is this the path that we've taken?
Abandoned and forsaken
We must arise and awaken

Eeeagh

Remember where you first called home
(Where you first called home)
Restore what you called your own
Return
Remember where you first called home
Reclaim the life of the Skydancer
Restore what you called your own
Return where you run wild and free

[Chorus:]
Remember where you first called home
You're never gonna see it
Till you're dancing on top of the world
Restore what you called your own
Return where you run wild and free

[Chorus:]
Remember where you first called home
You're never gonna see it
Till you're dancing on top of the world
Restore what you called your own
Return
(Return)

We're dancing on top of the world
Looking down on places
That cease to exist
We need a reason to turn our backs
Forced to create steel towers of death
We're fearless on the edge of the earth
Giving all these people
A chance to persist
We need a reason to turn our backs
Building a future with so many cracks

  21. L.... O....

    Seriously IHW is one of the best bands to exist , next album water dancer! I can only wish though lol

  23. B.... W....

    AMAZING

  24. S.... ....

    These guys go hard live \m/

  25. M.... R....

    Fucken mad

    (.... W....

    i think in the second verse around the 1 minutes mark.

  28. d.... ....

    Just discovered this band. Fuck. Love them.

  29. X.... W....

    This song is fucking sick.

  30. K.... B....

    Lost my shit when they opened with this song in Brisbane, so fucking good

  31. S.... ....

    I had my first kiss while they were playing this song live XD

  32. J.... M....

    Just amazing! Can't wait to see and meet them on Thursday!!!!

  33. D.... K....

    Space glider gonna be amazing

  34. e.... ....

    There are only two problems I have with the new version- they changed "the rich fuel the genocide" to "the rich feed the genocide". I loved that lyric but it's not as good any more.
    The other problem is that in the first one, the lyric "sky dancer" in the first one was kind of spoken, but roughly. I liked the way it sounded. Similar to the way "I've ever seen" is said in Badlands. It's fully grunted in the new version, it doesn't sound as good.
    The mix also feels a bit too clear, I liked the grittier sound of the original.
    But I suppose all this is just due to the fact that I'm so used to the original.

  35. M.... M....

    theyve really dropped off since divination :(

  36. E.... W....

    so key.

  37. B.... W....

    Gotta love Ohio because no bands ever come here. Jk it's understandable because Ohio sucks when it comes to concerts for my favorite bands. #TheStruggle

  38. l.... ....

    After listening to this and depature its clear you guys have good taste in guest vocalists.
    Both songs kick ass.
    I know this will be discarded by alot but how bout a guest vocalist of say, Corey Taylor...if he can keep up.

  39. B.... S....

    Kyle your vocals have gotten much stronger, great job! -Brad

  40. t.... ....

    Yo, this links with Aether haha

  41. J.... S....

    @Joey S Survey didnt take too long so cheers, where did you find? I can't find it anywhere ><

    J.... S....

    J.... S....

    @Joey S Thank you, I can't seem to find this album anywhere, the survey wasn't too bad either.

    J.... S....

    @Joey S great album!

    J.... S....

    @Joey S I'm still going to buy this album because im a fan (pre-ordered it already) but im just too excited so I got it from yourlink - hopefully its as good as Earthwalker

  42. T.... ....

    Can we get another song from skydancer already!?

  43. l.... t....

    Survival is the best!

  44. T.... F....

    Australia makes the best music i fucking swear..

  45. T.... ....

    Both the versions are fucking amazing. Quit throwing bitch-fits in the comments

  46. M.... ....

    Good work boys! 😀

  47. S.... F....

    Geeeeeezzzz I love this band!!!!

  48. M.... A....

    Me sigue gustado y es una de mis favoritas la otra versión de esta cancion, esta versión casi no me gusto 😔

  49. H.... N....

    Vigil's part is so ill in this song

  50. K.... B....

    I preferred the live music video so much more :/ 

  51. J.... I....

    Than fucking breakdown makes me get so naked...every time.

  52. l.... ....

    more derivative generic garbage

    BRAVO

    for sucking

  53. A.... F....

    i like the first version better, though this song is fucking amazing

  54. C.... ....

    that breakdown!!


    brb gona go snap necks

  55. G.... H....

    Niceee, thanks for so much production, u guys are the deal

  56. T.... C....

    I am addicted to this song!

  57. I.... ....

    The ending was way to hype for what every song is next

  58. T.... ....

    Mix is sick , but the i just like kyle's voice in the 1st version i don't know why, i think the less they edit his voice the better

  59. A.... H....

    I love In Hearts Wake and am a big fan of Jonathan Vigil and TGI but I really don't think that Jonathan's part fits the song very well IMO. Good song nonetheless.  

  60. j.... ....

    Listened to the original so many times, that this version sounds kinda strange. I'd have been happy if they just re-mastered the demo version. Not that this version is bad or anything.

  61. I.... R....

    First Earthwalker, now Skydancer. This probably means the next 2 albums will be water and fire themed. Can't fuckin' wait B-)

    I.... R....

    @Mr Grumpyface Yo! Legit? That blows, man.

    I.... R....

    I love the way they did this! Their lyrics full of life and meaning it's amazing! Can't wait till the album release :)

    I.... R....

    @Mr Grumpyface Sea Dweller, Space Traveler. Would be dope

    I.... R....

    @Mr Grumpyface Like when they posted a photo showing Skydancer and Earthwalker physical CDs next to each other they formed a picture. If you could put 2 more concept albums (fire and water like you suggested) on the sides of those cds that would be sick!

    I.... R....

    Oh shit, now that Ark's out with the theme of water.

  62. D.... B....

    i wish there was no vocals i just like the guitar

  63. S.... W....

    This band never disappoints Me they always bring out the best song love being an aussie

  64. G.... ....

    I don't know why but that breakdown at 1:26 always make want do push ups o.o

  65. A.... S....

    Both version are simply the best

  66. n.... ....

    are you gonna play this at self help???

  67. A.... ....

    Very excited for this record, Earthwalker was quite good.

  68. S.... O....

    Holy shit, these guys keep getting better. I'm Impressed. 

  69. H.... ....

    And who the fuck is screaming at 1:00 it fucking sucks

    H.... ....

    It's so good!

  70. H.... ....

    The old one is 10x better than this lmao

  71. M.... R....

    1:26 is love, 1:26 is life.

  72. A.... ....

    seems like IHW songs are always mixed lower in volume than most other songs

  73. m.... ....

    almost wish they never released divination, now I have such high expectations for them and it usually leads to disappointment.

  74. a.... ....

    AMAZING <3

  75. J.... ....

    love this a lot.

  76. z.... ....

    I love this band and I can't wait to see you guys on the 7th!

  77. T.... F....

    This version is so much better tbh

  78. T.... ....

    Out of the two versions of the song, this one is the easiest to masturbate too.

  79. M.... M....

    why is jonathan vigil on every fucking album? I mean, seriously just use someone else ffs...

    M.... M....

    Haha touche.

    M.... M....

    @Bradley S this was prefect

    M.... M....

    +Marc McFly Thats how you sell yourself :D

    M.... M....

    +Marc McFly I feel the same way about Kellin Quinn. Who is ten times more annoying Jonathan Vigil. And this is the first song I've ever seen anyone use him so thanks for your invalid complaint. The ghost inside just dropped a new album and needed someone to tour with. Also Jonathan has A LOT of talent. Which again is more than what I can say about Kellin Quinn and your comment.

    M.... M....

    marcy mcfly

  80. P.... A....

    A much better recording of this song, much more clear. I love both version, but for some reason this one sounds more clearer to me. Glad to hear there's more music coming soon :)

  81. s.... ....

    skydancer is gonna be so awesome , i dont have the words too express my self but i just wanna say: MAY COME FAST PLEASE!!

  82. M.... A....

    This song kills but, I don't like the drop after the breakdown. Reminds me to much of the Earthwalker song

  83. J.... H....

    We're dancing on top of the world, looking down on places that cease to exist.

  84. _.... S....

    The clean vocals sound so much better!!! 😍

  85. R.... W....

    Prisoner is the only good song they've put out. Suck my balls

  86. C.... X....

    I honestly prefer the original version, they should have left the chorus the same

  87. D.... ....

    AQUI É BRASIL PORRRRRRRAAAAAAAAA

  88. C.... A....

    Why was this video taken down?

  89. R.... P....

    Impossible to take seriously this music... laughable.
    Generic intro riff, then absolutely predictable clean post-hardcor-ish chorus, a chuggy 1 note breakdown that is followed by a 'bridge by numbers'. On top of that, the production sounds sterile and synthetic. 
    Is there anyone who actually enjoys this modern pseudo-metal/hardcore stuff? Oh God, guys, please, reevaluate your lives. Listen to something that is not the same grain of sand on the same friggin' beach.

  90. G.... T....

    New Album!!! 

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

    I like old chorus cleans better, but this is still decent, I like the "we need a reason" addition towards the end of this one

  92. R.... A....

    Australians never let me down

  93. R.... ....

    Holy fuck vigils part is gnarly!!!

  94. n.... ....

    Im confused is this a new song from them? Or is this a demo song they have re recorded???

    n.... ....

    Re-recorded version that is going to be included on the "Skydancer", the follow up to Earthwalker which they actually wrote at the same time. They just kept it under wraps till now.

  95. S.... F....

    The mix of this version is so underwhelming, though the song's composition is wayyy better.

  96. g.... ....

    Ahhhhhh that's better

  97. C.... B....

    I just love Jonathan Vigil. His vocals are sick, and I love everything that The Ghost Inside has ever released. So, I love that he was featured on the track. I also like the cleans a little more on this one, but it wasn't bad the first time. This is just a little better is all. cx
