SOEN – Fortress Lyrics

Artist or band: SOEN

Song language: English

Year of issue: 2023

Description: 'Fortress' from our the new album 𝐌𝐄𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐈𝐀𝐋! Memorial is drenched in melody with face-crushing guitars and rhythms from start to finish. Album opener ‘Sincere’ starts off with relentless propulsion, whilst the sheer power of the title track is enriched with a solid groove, underlying the weighty tones and evocative vocals of Joel Ekelöf. Finishing with the beautiful, tragic, Pink Floyd-esque ballad ‘Vitals’, Memorial is arguably the band finding their best stride yet. Soen have been building up to this moment for years and now they’re here with Memorial, which is an inspiring modern hard rock classic.

SOEN – Fortress Lyrics

Lightning up your path
To envision how you might
Carry on standing on your feet then coming round

What is it you want?
To feel whole and satisfied?
What’s the aim, what is the objective of our lives?

Understand, why are you here?
Life only gives us one chance
Can you see, what it takes to embrace peace?

As we search for an answer
We are grieving for a loss
And we bleed into others
While we seek where we belong

But we keep pounding our head against the walls
Expecting that somebody else would make us whole
But only you can decide to change the course
And face the end in peace without any remorse

Glorifying lies
Building monuments of trash
To ensure
Nothing worth defending could reach out

Covering our eyes
Is a part of who we are
To ignore
Only helps the rich prey on the poor

As we search for an answer
We are grieving for a loss
And we bleed into others
While we seek where we belong

But we keep pounding our head against the walls
Expecting that somebody else would make us whole
But only you can decide to change the course
And face the end in peace without any remorse
