Van Canto - Melody Lyrics






I've seen lions hearts weakening and eras passing by
Kings and queens' splendor fade away
Revolutions rising up, some sights through evil eyes
And prophets doing predictions with delay

I've seen chief commanders conquering and armies that invade
Surrender of some proud and loyal knights
Intrigues that cause insurgency, treasons and betrayal
Heartsickness that ended endless might
But one thing's here to stay...

All shall come to sing the melody like one
Outwearing history and time
So this melody is sung to praise and glorify the one
Who brought the melody into our lives

I have seen the continental drifts and species die away
Galaxies dividing into naught
Evolution winning through, breeds that will prevail
And revolutions started by a thought

I've seen systems taming energy and elemental force
Algorithms winning over brains
Collapsing human arguments, evidence disproved
Geniuses finally go insane
Please never go away
You who once have caused this world to turn
This one thing's here to stay...

All shall come to sing the melody like one
Outwearing history and time
So this melody is sung to praise and glorify the one
Who brought the melody into our lives
The melody ends all nights!

Ow!
One thing's here to stay
All shall come to sing like one

All shall come to sing the melody like one
Outwearing history and time
So this melody is sung to praise and glorify the one
Who brought the melody into our lives

All shall come to sing the melody like one
Outwearing history and time
So this melody is sung to praise and glorify the one
Who brought the melody into our lives
The melody ends all nights!

  1. E.... C....

    Mir scheiß egal, was der Rest hier sagt: Ich feier Hagen und dieses Lied und das gesamte Album.

  2. e.... ....

    WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?
    =(

  3. A.... Y....

    ほんとカッコいい!日本でも人気出てほしいなあ

  4. E.... C....

    I'm in love with Hagen and his voice... VC sounds so fresh now

  5. B.... J....

    I've seen lions are sleeping in and heroes passing by
    Kings and prince blackened and fade away
    Revolutions rising up, some sight through evil eyes
    And prophets through predictions will delight

    I've seen truth and madness conquering and armies fed and bred
    Surrender, have some [?]
    In truth they cause uncertainty, treasons and betrayal
    Heartsickness surrendered in his might
    But one thing's here to stay

    All shall come to sing the melody like one
    Outliving history and time
    So this melody is sung to praise and glorify the one
    Who brought the melody into our lives

    I have seen the continental drift and species die away
    Galaxies dividing into void
    Evolution winning through, bricks that will prevail
    And revolution started by a thought

    I've seen system-saving energy and elemental force
    Algorithms winning normal race
    Collapsing human arguments, evidence disproved
    Geniuses finally go insane
    These never go away

    You ones have caused this world to turn
    This one thing's here to stay

    All shall come to sing the melody like one
    Outliving history and time
    So this melody is sung to praise and glorify the one
    Who brought the melody into our lives
    The melody into night

    Ow, one thing's here to stay
    All shall come to sing like one

    All shall come to sing the melody like one
    Outliving history and time
    So this melody is song to praise and glorify the one
    Who brought the melody into our lives

    All shall come to sing the melody like one
    Outliving history and time
    So this melody is sung to praise and glorify the one
    Who brought the melody into our lives
    The melody into night

  6. D.... L....

    The sound engineer should be shot

  7. c.... t....

    De mis bandas favoritas

  8. I.... G....

    What's happened with the former male singer? O.o

    I.... G....

    Left. Someone made a good point in saying this song sounds like it was written before he left, because I could imagine it being a great song, but the new guy just doesn't work with it. Not that he works with any of the other songs either, band is basically dead without Sly.

    I.... G....

    @Virunus This is bad. Sadly seems that you are right.

  9. D.... A....

    Pero qué mierda esta

  10. m.... m....

    i wish my wife can be like this female vocal

  11. M.... ....

    Woah sorry - but the new singer can't even compare to the "old" one =( . That really felt so ..... wrong

  12. F.... C....

    nah... dont like it. neither the sound of the song itself and neither the new vocalist :(

  13. T.... H....

    That guy doing the bass is incredible

  14. A.... L....

    #BringDennisBack

    This is not RAKA-TAKA - MATHA-FUCKA, unfortunately, I'm sorry.
    Next live in Moscow, I don't know...

  15. �.... �....

    нахера барабанщика постригли? ((

  16. �.... �....

    At least it doesn't sound boring like the last album. Oh, it's just the begginig what's interesting.

  17. V.... d....

    The new singer becomes quite a minor problem once you realize 3:48-4:07 sounds like a tribute to Enrique Iglesia's "Bailando" (listen for yourselves: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NUsoVlDFqZg from 2:05 to 2:16).

  18. D.... ....

    Oof this sounds bad... I love van canto but this... It's really bad.

  19. T.... ....

    This song was probably written before Sly's departure. I think that's why it sounds so off. This song wasn't meant for the new guy's style. My opinion, anyways.

  20. P.... ....

    I'll wait and see (or rather hear ;) how things develop. Maybe it's just that I'm used to Sly's voice, and changes can require some time, but Hagen's singing just doesn't 'work' for me here at all :/

  21. B.... M....

    The singer has more a voice to sing pop song than metal song it's weird 😕

  22. Z.... -....

    Much better than Back In The Lead, but still not there.

  23. E.... C....

    wtf???...me dara cancer de orejas, que asco

  24. S.... V....

    Sorry. The new singer might be good - but does not fit. It sounds very flat. You need someone with different voice. Deeper and more powerful.

  25. J.... ....

    This is terrible in comparison to older stuff. New guy isn't a good fit and they really downplayed the instrument vocalizations that the band is known for so you pretty much only hear the drumset.

  26. M.... ....

    Bleibt so wie ihr seid :) Ist eigentlich gar nicht schlecht wenn man nicht alles "tot-abmischt". Das neueste Album ist die erste Weiche, auf einer sehr erfolgreichen Strecke. Findet euch erstmal zusammen und irgendwann machts klick und dann läufts :D Höre jetzt seit Anfang an Van Canto und werde es auch immer hören. True Fans will stay, even when there is "a Storm to come" ;D
    Never surrender!

  27. S.... ....

    What the fuck is this??

  28. S.... ....

    Großartiges Arrangement, wenn ich das so unprofessionell sagen darf.
    Habe bis auf diesen Song, noch nichts weiter neues gehört, daher auch nur eine "unfertige" Meinung:
    Es macht wieder wirklich Laune Van Canto zu hören und es brennt vor Vorfreude in meinen Ohren, mehr zu hören. (Ja, das Album ist bestellt.)
    Leider gibt es eine Kleinigkeit, die mir, wenn ich mir die Playlist anschaue, etwas aufstößt. ... Kann es sein, dass es keine "richtig guten Songs" mehr gibt, die Van Canto veredeln kann? Das Beste wurde schon "genutzt" und was ich so lese ... naja.
    Aber egal. Platten/Scheiben/Downloads kaufen. Konzerte besuchen und feiern! ;)

  29. X.... ....

    Still better than anything on the radio these days.

  30. D.... T....

    У них сто сменился состав? А где старый чувак он круче пел? У этого слобоват голос! Так то вроде все в ноту и круто но не то не секс)) расщипляет ужасно!

  31. e.... f....

    You guys are heading towards the redemption stage, good work guys but don't get too confident but still Hagen is just trying to rise at Sly's potential and he will never succeed on that. Rest in peace Van canto 2006-2017

  32. K.... D....

    YES!!!!!

  33. R.... M....

    Suena estúpido

  34. N.... J....

    First time hearing this band, awful lol

  35. A.... N....

    We want the Sly back

  36. R.... S....

    Jajajajaja

  37. N.... S....

    Laughing sooooo hard :-D

  38. S.... ....

    Ehrlich gesagt weiß ich nicht was die Kritik soll. Die Band ist anders besetzt und es ist klar, dass die Musik auch anders klingt als vorher. Hagens Stimme passt - meiner Meinung nach - hervorragend zu Ingas.
    Mir gefallen die neuen Lieder sehr gut.
    Wem die neuen Songs nicht gefallen, der braucht sie sich ja auch nicht anzuhören.

  39. N.... ....

    Well, i was about to comment something along the lines of loosing power of the power metal, but....
    This is big change for Van Canto and if we compare this album to their first one. It's not that bad. It has it's moments and songs and all together it is better then A Storm To Come album. Basicly comparing the beginning with the new beginning. And the bonus orchestral songs are quite neat. Almost feels like 2 different albums.

  40. F.... V....

    Worst band ever!

  41. Y.... S....

    it's ridiculous wtf ...........

  42. J.... D....

    Encerio ruuuililili .... yoyoyoy... ruuuilili yooo... jajaja se pasan que buenos riff brutales ...
    La vocalista es buena cantante pero hacer metal sin guitarra electrica sin bajo... pero si le ponen una bateria jajaja.
    Encerio esto es un insulto al metal, es interesante innovador y todo que sea todo vocal pero el metal no es eso... lo uno que los salva en algo son sus cover fuera de eso pues nada...
    Viva el HEAVY METAL!! y no estas mamadas... riff vocales ... :V

  43. J.... D....

    this is an insult to metal ... !!

  44. J.... D....

    Do you really call this metal? I tell them that they make good vocal riffs so that they bother to put a real drum if everything is vocal ... it was just the same as a vocal battery ..
    this is not metal, the only thing that keeps them alive are their covers and nothing else is not worth it.

  45. E.... I....

    Definly this "band" is not for me

  46. G.... ....

    OK, new singer is great, totally love it, totally dig it, tons of energy, tons of power and emotion!

  47. O.... K....

    His voice is terrible on record. But life at Masters of Rock it was much more better. Wheres the problem?

  48. i.... ....

    why............

  49. T.... D....

    I have never actually heard of this band before but I love them.

  50. D.... D....

    New guy is flat, off tempo, and his voice actually cracks a few times. He'd making a decent backup, but he doesn't seem to have the range or power needed to carry a band like this. There's a certain lack of presence as well; not just audibly, but physically, like he doesn't really know what to do out there and isn't super into it.

  51. w.... ....

    gosh, this sounds... pretty bad

  52. S.... M....

    The fuck?

  53. A.... M....

    What the Fuck is that?
    This is so bad.
    Sorry, but..nooo!

  54. J.... D....

    Excellent job

  55. R.... C....

    R.I.P VAN CANTO..

  56. L.... F....

    Where's all the energy gone? Please, find a singer who can give us the thrills the way Dennis Schunke did. Requiem for "my" Van Canto

  57. H.... 7....

    10.08. Rakkatakka

  58. b.... ....

    Ouch that new lead singer dude. No

  59. S.... M....

    It feels bad to say that, really bad, as Van Canto is a great band, but Sly was the voice that stood out among all the others. He made it all sound so lively and powerful... It's like Rammstein without Till or Nightwish without Tarja - not the music that I loved so much. I hope you guys enjoy what you're doing, good luck to you.

  60. J.... T....

    nop, you lost me there, sadly. I was hopefull with Voice N°7, but your 2 singles just crushed my hopes. Ii guess we'll have to part ways

  61. S.... R....

    As much as I love this group, I have to agree with the majority of the comments here, the new singer's voice just doesn't work for me. Its nowhere near as powerful as Sly's was. He sounds like he's 3 steps away from straining a vocal chord. He's a decent singer in his own right, but wrong for this group. Please bring Sly back.

    S.... R....

    Sly CANT come back? He left for personal reasons. He wasn't kicked. I doubt his personal reasons for leaving will suddenly just clean themselves up and allow him back in!

    S.... R....

    @Vermont Vampyre I dont know the reasona behind Sky's departure but I understand. I'm certainly not knocking the new guy. His voice is good but he's used to singing a certain style and he doesnt do well with the melodic style of Van Canto. They would have to write music to match his guttural screamo like vocals and hed shine but itd have to be balanced with Inge's voice to really be Van Canto. All of these songs sound like they were originally written with Sly in mind. And he came along after the fact. Maybe next album will be more worthy of his vocal style.

  62. W.... ....

    Something just sounds a bit off, but still a nice song and I am waiting for full album!

  63. C.... (....

    No harmony with the female voice for Hagen....better than the other single but still no comparison to the old songs. The Van Canto I used to like seems to be gone :/

  64. O.... O....

    end of the line canto :( just amateur vocal

  65. G.... H....

    It simply sucks.

  66. V.... ....

    Guys, i get it... Hagen´s voice is not as powerful as sly´s in certain terms. But Hagen brings strong growls and lower voice ranges to the pallet. This opens up a new range of opportunities for songs. If you don´t like Hagel´s voice, listen to the gold that Van Canto delivered over the years. A storm to come, Hero, Tribe of force (my fav so far), Break the silence, Voices of fire and Dawn of the brave.
    I have trust in rust. (i´m sorry)

  67. T.... B....

    This new singer in not good.. I want back the original!!!

  68. Z.... C....

    I found these guys a few weeks ago and I can already tell the new lead singer is way out of place. Also, he can't scream worth a damn.

  69. A.... D....

    Rum tum tum. Tweedly diddly dee.

  70. M.... ....

    I'm sorry to say this but I wish this was sung by Sly. Hagel's voice doesn't really fit their current style.

  71. M.... ....

    I keep listening to this song, August 10th is too far away!

  72. S.... ....

    What is this?! Hagen sounded epic in Voice Nr 7, but here his voice is overshadowed by Inga's. It gets better towards the end of the song, but whoever did the mix needs to go back and do it properly.

  73. A.... D....

    New guy isn't a bad singer, but his voice doesn't blend well with the rest of the band's voices. It's kinda off-putting because before all the voices blended so well and just naturally fit together but still had their own unique sound. If this guy is gonna be sticking around then maybe the music should be made to fit his range and style better. Otherwise, his voice just sticks out way too much.

  74. A.... L....

    Very good song but missing philip dennis who is such an awsome singer

  75. A.... ....

    Una Mierda!!!

  76. C.... ....

    Guys give him time! He's new, obviously he's learning!

  77. R.... ....

    So all the long-haired guys got themself's a haircut but Ike's growing his out... weird. Also Hagel sounds weak, he can't compete with Inga and is no way near a suitable replacement for Sly. We miss you Dennis😩

  78. O.... ....

    The intro dropped my IQ to zero!

  79. R.... ....

    Man.. these 2 singles have me real worried. I think it's over for us boys. Back to the older albums I go.

  80. K.... B....

    Phew, MUCH better than the first one.

  81. �.... �....

    Как всегда очень круто😍 Обожаю❤ Молодцы, ребята, ждём новый альбом ;)

  82. D.... T....

    3:57, Despacito

  83. u.... m....

    Good idea but too many voices lol. Why there's no electric reeds or brass yet? This could have done a result to influence the next generation.

  84. P.... K....

    What the actual fuck. This is fucking stupid. No.

  85. P.... S....

    RIP Van Canto :'(

  86. d.... ....

    Mega geil ❤ freu mich auf das Album 😍❤

  87. A.... J....

    C'est mou!

  88. g.... ....

    the problem I have is that the list of related videos on the right contains Badaboom and I cant stop myself from switching across...

  89. T.... ....

    I just loved the previous vocalists voice too much, it is a hard change to get used to. The song isn’t bad though, but nothing groundbreaking.

  90. P.... R....

    ok... WTF??? It is TERRIBLE! I liked van canto covering songs like Manowar, Metallica etc.... their own stuff was never amazing but it was ok... but this??? Unlistenable! New singer really bad.
    1:43 ... and I had to stop the video
    Jesus christ.... looks like the end of this band (at least for me)

  91. J.... ....

    Changes have been made. Ive waited for new songs soooo long I will give them a chance for sure! Hagen, are you up for the task? Dont let us - fans down! Ridilidindindo Ridilidindindo Ridilidindindodo Ridilidindindododo!

  92. �.... �....

    Фигня

  93. D.... L....

    Van Canto has no more power with the new guy, It would be better with only the female vocals now.

    D.... L....

    totally wrong

  94. M.... N....

    Let her sing with each member. Hmmm. Who sounds best. Just rework the voices.... It would make nice CD.

  95. M.... T....

    Hagen doesn't fit Van Canto and its music. Sorry guys, I am your fan since, I think Hero album..... and simply I can accept different lead male vocal. .... Maybe I'll get used to it. But for now.... one big NO. :)

  96. �.... �....

    what the fuck is that?

  97. E.... M....

    The most boring thing I've ever heard....

  98. E.... J....

    Maaaaannn.. the singer really doesnt fit... what a shame.. Maybe they should change the band name to "Bad Canto" (?) :( One thing music teached us is that you can have a bad singer for a few discs then "recover"... like Nightwish
