It does make me happy to see John and Jim still putting out albums together as Arch/Matheos.

Greatest vocalist ever.

Excellent! Classic Fates is still awesome.

This band should have had way more success. Way better than dream theater.

Damnation Thousands of years, Before the dawn of history. Ancient races tears, Are flowing like a river to the sea. Where sacred river ran, White deer had roamed the land, Brilliant twilight in our dreams. Primitive child, Your unforgotten tribe calls to you. Descendants we are one,... The tangled maze is broken once again. A myth without a meaning, You shade the light from the seed. The earth and virgin soil watch it bleed. The earth and virgin soil. Red, white, black, in city masses, Corporate buildings spread like rashes, Stacked upon each other forty high. Stabbed each other in the back, You money-hungry maniacs, Dig up the earth and spit it in your eye. To intrude this sacred land, Where the mortals have been banned, Where your own forefathers lie in rest. To disturb this mountain side, Where in battle we did ride, And our warriors where they lie, The earth digest. Hear our cry from down below, Let our restive spirits go. You've trapped us in your world of sin, Let the plague begin, Damnation. Your cities disappear, To earth's interior, don't you know You've got to let your spirits go, let 'em go. You've got to let those spirits go. Let 'em go! You've got to let your spirit go.

What a great composition! 👍

Killer album!!!! Takes me back many years ago.

First Comment: The Best of Metal Blade !!!!! Excellent music, beautiful classic !!!!

That album was recorded across the street from my friends house at The Gallery recording studio in East Hartford, CT. I went to school with the daughter of the owner.

Fates Warning with Arch is miles better. Not because Arch is the better singer but everything just fits and the songs just click. Besides, Arch does the job and more anyway.

this is such a fun song to sing to!!!!

they are the best

Intro owes a nod to Black Sabbath's Sleeping Village. Good song.

John Arch and Fates Warning = iconic talent IMO

A master piece.

Thank You!

Love ❤️. Shared ❤️.

Definitely inspired by sleeping village

Liked ❤️!

This song's lyrics are about climate change CHANGE MY MIND

GREAT BAND but la pochette la plus pourrie de toute l'histoire du METAL 🤔

L' une des pochettes les plus pourries de toute l'histoire du METAL avec DANCE OF DEATH de Iron Maiden 😑
