Pain Of Salvation - Iter Impius Lyrics






[Mr. Money:]
I woke up today
Expecting to find all that I sought
And climb the mountains of the life I bought
Finally I'm at the top of every hierarchy
Unfortunately there is no one left
But me

I woke up today
To a world that's ground to dust, dirt and stone
I'm the king upon this withering throne
I ruled every forest, every mountain, every sea
Now there're but ruins left to rule for me
And... you see, it beckons me;
Life turned its back on us
How could you just agree?
...how? I just don't see...

I woke up today
To a world devoid of forests and trees
Drained of every ocean, every sea
Just like a useless brick upon the shore
The morning after the storm
That swept the bridge away
Relentless tide
No anger
Just this relentless time
That calls us all on
But...

I'm never crossing that line
Leaving this world behind
I will stay on my own
On this bloodstained throne
I rule the ruins and wrecks
And the dust, dirt and stone
I rule rage rod and rattling of bones

I am on my own
I am all alone
Everything is gone
Stuck forever here
Already cold

I'm never crossing that line
Leaving this world behind
I will stay on my own
On this bloodstained throne...

I'm never crossing that line
Leaving this world behind
I will stay on my own
On this bloodstained throne
I rule the ruins and wrecks
And the dirt and the dust and the stone
I'm the ruler of rage rod and rust
And the rattling of bones
Ruler of ruin...

  4. R.... M....

    I feel like i just saw beauty and the beast - The Broadway Musical

  5. M.... D....

    Fucking genius! It’s a shame they aren’t huge in America. Between Pain of Salvation and Canada’s Tea Party and bands like Tool and Peter Gabriel I’ve learned as a multi instrumental musician to branch out and write what comes from my soul and not try to be what’s the norm at the moment. These guys will always be great and write every type of music possible. That is what makes them so special.

  6. P.... 9....

    really shitty singing.. he can do much better (unfortunately, only in studio) plus why is he so obsessed with showing his feet to the world?

  7. S.... S....

    barefoot sick beast

  8. �.... �....

    God bless you wonderful

  9. C.... G....

    El cantante fue múltiple instrumentista en Transatlantic. Una belleza también como esto.

  10. S.... W....

    Lost and never coming back, what do you meaning by that, the sell storre give me more.

  11. W.... L....

    Excelente!

  12. G.... O....

    this is like antibiotics for your heart.

  13. D.... P....

    This has to be the best solo ever played by jonah. What a fucking monster. You can really tell he's putting his soul in this solo. Everytime i hear it i got goosebumps.

  14. P.... ....

    Respect.

  15. P.... N....

    ... and back here again ...

  16. S.... L....

    That voice! <3 how have I not heard this before now?

  17. A.... D....

    I miss Fredrik, both Johans and Kris... they were essential part of POS!

  18. E.... B....

    This piece is unintentionally perfect to listen while reading Mistborn.
    It reminds me of Rashek.

  19. m.... ....

    this is incredible

  20. D.... S....

    A GREAT ALMBUM "BE"... this song is amazing!!!!

  21. H.... H....

    Just AMAZING.

  22. H.... H....

    Amazing

  23. u.... b....

    I respect this great performance and artistry genious behind it.
    All I have difficulty to understand how come such a painful and melancholic music can come from such a peaceful and happy country such as Sweeden ?
    Lol'

    u.... b....

    I think (as many sweds said themselves, atleast the ones i know personally) is that that it's just a facade. In reality sweden people are very gloomy and introverted. You really are not pushed to be the best version of yourself in those countries, you just have to be average at what you do. Nothing more, nothing less. Do not stand out, do not try to be the center of attention. Being in the spotlight is bad.

    They are very "strict" if you know what i am trying to say. I think that's why so many awesome and intriguing bands come from those scandinavian countries, 'cause through music they really can be and express themselves at their full potential, not being worried about being seen "weird" by their society' standards. And so they have ALOT to tell. They use music as a "inner voice" that normally would not see the light of day.

    u.... b....

    The guy has experienced pain in his life!

    u.... b....

    pain sees no country

    u.... b....

    Daniel (kind of) answers that question in this interview: http://rocklivebg.com/web/interview-with-daniel-gildenlow-from-pain-of-salvation.php

    u.... b....

    +shashank shashank true that

  24. M.... N....

    Still amazing

  25. C.... W....

    Way much better than the album version. It's so powerful when you're able to understand the context behind the lyrics. And Daniel at his best with the "diva-like" performances.

  26. C.... ....

    Great voice.

  27. N.... G....

    this music is the most honest and touching ive ever heard. just like other PoS songs, there is nothing even getting close to this perfection!

    N.... G....

    +Peter Lustig You're absolutely right... I've never heard this PoS song, but love this great group. Fantastic. lovely great music...

    N.... G....

    fuck the honest. pos is the first 4 albums, when they still were METAL

  28. A.... L....

    i love you i love you i love you

  29. M.... M....

    Me gusta mucho esta banda , me enamoran!!!

  30. D.... H....

    I can listen to various genres of music, some albums can be my favorites, some bands can be my favorites, but BE will always be my #1

  31. A.... H....

    awesome

  32. M.... R....

    holy shit!!!! this is amazing!

  33. C.... H....

    I miss this band so much...

    C.... H....

    @César HF sadly enough, this is so true...

    C.... H....

    Oh boy......

    C.... H....

    They finally released!

    C.... H....

    The new album, is good...

    C.... H....

    They are working in a new album, PoS is alive!

  34. F.... F....

    I woke up to Samsung galaxy's walk on the seaside ringtone today and immeadiately reminded me of this song, the part at 4:03 =P

  35. S.... C....

    How many of you remember the moment when you fell in love with the BE album? I do, I remember vividly how it made me feel for the first time, a strange sensation like no other I have ever experienced. Pain of salvation forever \m/ :') \m/
    Sadly, the person who introduced me to their music is longer with me, but I shall be forever grateful !

    S.... C....

    @Shamik Chakraborty I clicked almost by mistake on a video with Pluvius Aestivus on it, i fell in love immediately, the very moment when i discovered Pain of Salvation, my all time favorite band.

    S.... C....

    @Shamik Chakraborty Randomly BE was the first PoS album I listened to - I decided to check them out after I heard Daniel on 01011001, but thought they were probably going to be too heavy for my liking. I was pleasantly mistaken.

    S.... C....

    +Shamik “Stagekraft” Chakraborty BE is like a sunrise. You will like it to the end of your days.

  36. S.... ....

    This album is one of the best things that ever happened to progressive metal and to mankind generally....

    For I am every forest
    I am every tree
    I am everything
    I am you and me
    I am every ocean
    I am every sea
    I am all the breathing "BE"

  37. B.... ....

    This guy is SOOOO awesome!!! I love it!

  38. V.... F....

    this has to be one of the greatest performances ever. I would be happy if aliens found this.

    V.... F....

    Possible that the most Alien-Rarces are better evovled like us...maybe they would say..."Thats really sas on this planet...it seems to be that the citizens on planet Earth love the drama of there lifes...in the evolution they have not reached the Kindergarden because there you learn to share...

  39. F.... A....

    Wow, when you're fucking surrounded by ten tons of electrical equipment, amplifiers, mixing boards, microfones, PA units, sound cables, energy cables, high voltage illumination...you basically REALLY don't want to be near water, I'm sure they went through every safety precautions, but I still kinda cringe in fear watching this

    F.... A....

    I never even thought of that.

    F.... A....

    @Felipe Aguena Daniel Gindenlow is eletricity proof... And the danger make his singing more drama!

    F.... A....

    biggest problem was actually it was freezing cold.

  40. F.... D....

    Dude, POS is SOOOOOO much better nowadays... Jesus, I love the band, but I must admit this is near embarassing... it sounds amazing, but the performance is so corny...

    F.... D....

    Wait... really?

  41. E.... -....

    Definetily the best rock voice of the universe...

  42. N.... P....

    Wuenaa!!

  43. R.... L....

    lol wtf this is terrible

    R.... L....

    yr mum is terrible

  44. I.... L....

    solo of iter impius ruined it

    I.... L....

    Why? o.O

    I.... L....

    @Chris Helheim
    Because it sounded clunky as hell, it did not have the smoothness and flow what rest of the song had.

    I.... L....

    I can see your point, it was definitely more rough than the rest of it and maybe not as fluent in the composition like everything else but I really liked that agressive break from the composition, well beauty is in the eye of the beholder or in this case the ears :D

    I.... L....

    @Ingmar Laan I think you're dead wrong, but okay. This is one of the best guitar solos ever in my opinion. 

  45. M.... F....

    I have come to a very important conclusion; there is not enough Pain of Salvation in my life.
    I will correct that now.

    M.... F....

    Is there enough now?

  46. J.... B....

    Pain of Salvation knows how to create masterpieces...AND I fell in love with that singer!

  47. d.... b....

    so impressive

  48. R.... S....

    Smashing Pumpkins' singer decide to become a piano player

  49. A.... ....

    Perfection.

  50. E.... ....

    Can anyone understand what he is saying at 11:50? Thanks :)

  51. E.... ....

    Is it from before the Album was recorded? Because the change of lyrics.

    E.... ....

    Yes, they recorded this live performance before actually going into the studio to record the album. Some songs like Lilium Cruentus and Nihil Morari had a lot of lyric changes.

  52. A.... B....

    It's a lute :)

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

    It's an handmade instrument, assembled and crafted by Daniel's Grandad

  54. g.... t....

    Evidently, Daniel thinks that dentists are too capitalist.

  55. T.... ....

    Pain of Salvation is one of the very few bands/musicians who shake me to my very soul. Daniel's voice is just so beautiful that it sometimes brings tears to my eyes. I've described it as progressive metal soul.

  56. R.... L....

    it's a mandolin i think

  57. C.... R....

    It gives me the goose everything I listen to it. Simply perfect, astonishing, marvelous... *-*

  58. E.... R....

    Magical

  59. e.... l....

    I've read somewhere a long time ago that it's an instrument Daniel's grandfather built. From what I remember it doesn't have a name-- just a stringed instrument. I could be wrong.

  60. S.... ....

    he's playing the sunglasses

  61. s.... ....

    Water and electricity, bad combination.

  62. C.... ....

    Looks like some kind of traditional european guitar. It's basically a guitar with a pear shaped body. Same type of headstock, frets, strings as a regular guitar so it should play just like a normal guitar.

  63. J.... C....

    when Smith gave up for the matrix, he joined a Progressive metal band..and it was epic.

  64. y.... ....

    4:19 <3

  65. M.... ....

    Best song ever! Best band ever! Best Daniel ever!!!

  66. c.... j....

    sweeeeeet

  67. T.... J....

    But still, do buy the DVD. There's music I gladly spend money on because it's worth it. This, definitely belongs into that cathegory :)

    (And yes, I did buy the DVD because I first saw it on youtube)

  68. H.... ....

    He should win a Tony for this performance.

  69. E.... ....

    The passage at 5:04 always gives me tingles.

  70. A.... ....

    Iter Impius is much more than amazing!

  71. m.... ....

    Thanks for hd.

  72. n.... B....

    chiiiiiiiiiiiills <33

  73. k.... ....

    I miss those days...

  74. F.... ....

    DAT VOICE!!!!

  75. 6.... ....

    No. A bug in the video. I have the DVD, can't here it there:P

  76. N.... �....

    Can you upload Nihil Morari?

  77. �.... �....

    Ребята,обалденная музыка,просто обалденная!!!

  78. N.... �....

    Beautiful!

  79. d.... ....

    Did the drummer make a mistake at 10:23?

  80. P.... ....

    No problems. The reason why I did it is because the quality is so bad in the other that it's a disgrace towards PoS

  81. S.... ....

    You Sir, should be fucking praised for life, for posting HD video's of this DVD
    Thank you.soooooo muuuch!

  82. G.... ....

    this song belongs in a movie. its amazing and the fact that it's live is 100 times more awesome.

  83. G.... ....

    Definitely two of their best songs... It's great that you upload them in HD \m/
    Thanks!!
