SOEN – Icon Lyrics

Artist or band: SOEN

Song language: English

Year of issue: 2023

Description: 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 – Icon Lyrics

Do we still recall the ones who fought
Into the dawn for us?
To bring reason and peace to our lives

Every piece of freedom has been drawn
Using our heroes blood
Without asking for things in return

Never forget
Who’s the enemy
As they try to make amends
Holding our chains
Deciding the fate of us all

They have betrayed
Everyone of us
And we’re paying to this day
While they parade
The riches they stole from our land… from our land

We remember when you left our home
Carrying the heavy stone
Of protecting us from the unknown

And we wonder how you faced your fate
If you could feel the sun
And we’re still waiting for your return
The battlefield consumed your blood
Still it hungers for more
And monuments of cold white stone
Celebrate our fallen sons
Never forgive
Our enemies
As they try to make amends
Holding our chains
Deciding the fate of us all

Never forget
Who’s the enemy
As they try to make amends
Holding our chains
Deciding the fate of us all
They have betrayed
Everyone of us
And we’re paying to this day
While they parade
The riches they stole from our land…our soil
