EQUUS

Our fields alight

Is this a dream?

Glowing inferno

Reborn, red dawn

Searing, auric chariot

With karmic wheels, they burn again

The karmic wheels, turning again

Life devoured

The ruin, the blackened, these skinless halls

Bones laid bare, the bones of all

The garden deafened

To emerald’s end

Breathing synergy

Wild winds away - to glorify

Through the ashen haze

Reborn, black gaze

Searing, auric chariot

With karmic wheels, they turn again

The karmic wheels, burning again

Flame-kissed manes

Winds cascading dawn

Of Boudica born

The earthen canvas, rivers of scars

Coursing, hooves beating, breathless

Forgotten forever

Burning again, burning again

Burning again, burning again

Her name is Mother...

Mother - And hell follows with Her

From ashen cities, grey auras, behold her pale horses

Framed by hell and veiled from heaven - this Pandemonium

Tears upon scorched dreams, pouring into chasms that seethe

Tidings tolled, too late, drowning as the shadows unfold

Running - wild resistance

Bearing - the weight of the world

Rearing from the ghosts of the past

Dancing in clouds, dressage to the nameless dead

Echoed cries cast into the air

Inhaling the spirit of rein and ruin

All the rage

Exhaling what remains of reason

And this misery

All these memories

Fleeing - dying

Are these memories all dreams?

All these memories

Fear and pain, all...

Never to be free

All these memories

-Fade away-

Eyes closed to the sun, the sun

Lost in tears of silence

Love to hear martinos contribution to the band!

Cam Mazzacane

Absolutely love it, to such an extent that I think I'm not going to listen to any more previews you guys release so that I can experience the album as a whole Take that as a compliment, I don't do that for any other artists 😂

Eric Ripa

It's awesome. But I would love to get it on Apple Music / iTunes. Any updates?

Ne Obliviscaris

Our label is still trying to fix the issue. I'll post up an update soon. The short version is that our song is sooo long Apple Music's system rejected it as not suitable for a single song release (Seriously haha). So it needs to be fixed manually and dealing with real humans always take ages it seems - Tim

Eric Ripa

Gotcha. Thanks for the quick reply. <3 Looking forward to it!

Alex

thanks for the update!

Alex

I’m so happy i’ve had time to listen to the song a few times- to hear the different parts and everything. This is definitely one of my new NeO favorites.

Tom Williams

Beautiful track. Everything I expect from you all

Dakara

"Her name is Mother...Mother - And hell follows with Her" - beautiful and tragic. The song is heartbreaking. Sometimes life does feel like a dream/nightmare. Sometimes it's worse than any nightmare you could dream.

Sam Farrell

It's absolutely spectacular. I've listened to it 22 times already (!) and it just blows me away every time. I'm astonished that you guys - who were already operating at a higher level than any metal band in the world - somehow manage to get better and better with each release. Looking forward to committing these lyrics to memory now so that I can foolishly scream along with Xen from the front row when you get back to the US. Perfection!!

Chris

Already a NeO classic. Favorite parts are violin harmonizing with Xen's screams, Tino's solo, and Xen's screams at the very end. The entire song is perfect and gives me confident that the album will be too. So glad you guys stuck it out through all the covid setbacks!

Melissa Olmstead

I did a short expose on y'all and this song in one of my TikToks. I was absolutely blown away with the song and video. I think I have a new fav band, or one that shares that spot with Behemoth lol. In any case, WOW!

Desirae Laura

Quickly has become my favorite song of yours. The tears start when the strings kick in, from the first listen at the listening party and still does how many listens later. (I've honestly lost count) Someone else took the words from my mouth about the "Her name is Mother.." being so heartbreaking and tragic. The last sequence of Xen's screams at the end are absolutely crushing and beautiful, I can't get enough and cannot wait to hear the entire album.

Hilal Diker

I’ve never seen a message so loud and clear. This album is going to bring many people together from a very familiar place, and this song is just the beginning of that. It truly is the epitome of perfection. ✨ I hope you all know how valuable and precious you are 🖤 you each have a very special gift of Light shining into this world. Thank you guys for your dedication and being true to yourselves. Sending you so much love🖤

Stephen

I absolutely love this song, another masterpiece guys. I work at a theatre in regional NSW, we were setting up for a subscription launch yesterday. Full PA and screen ready to go, had time to kill so I put this song up on the screen and PA cranked. My manager and managers manager came in to rehearse the show, they didnt quite appreciate it in the same way I did.

Niklas Pettersson

FYI, in the US the music video cut off at ~7m45s for an annoying commercial break. Assuming the band didn’t approve that, could you have that removed to maintain the flow?

Elliot Cole

i love it. and i really believe it to be the best NeO song yet. tbd if its my favorite. but hands down, i know its the best one. 🖤

Elliot Cole

yes. it is incredibly awful. and makes me never want to use youtube again... :/

Tina

Is there a way to post the video here? Or create a commercial-free version with the link posted only here? Aside from that, amazing video, stunning performance. The song itself needed a little, but it grew on me and has become haunting and hypnotizing.🖤

Ne Obliviscaris

I presume that is the label's decision to try and earn more money for the song? I would find that very annoying also though for sure :/ Especially in such a key moment. We've had a bunch of comments about that so will bring it up with them.

Ne Obliviscaris

I'll have a think and organise something for this purpose. Thanks for the idea Tina! - Tim

Ne Obliviscaris

I'll try and post an ad free version on Patreon sometime soon

Mat

Beautifull. Intense. Heartbreaking. Pain. Grief. Rage. It makes me want to do something to comfort you for the sadness and suffering that you convey. To avoid all that pain. Benji makes his guitar cry in his elegy for Mother Earth; 'Burning again' sings Tim heartbroken and Xen screaming in pain and rage for her... Damn, you guys are so good! P.s.I don't get the reference to Boudica. Probably because I automatically visualize the wonderful aesthetics of the druids of the 'Britannia' series (long to explain). But I don't get the relationship.

Austin Stonewall Hudson

I have always been thoroughly impressed with Xen's way of expressing himself lyrically. I couldn't stand studying poetry in school but I could spend hours picking apart Ne Obliviscaris lyrics. This song is so powerful, from the content to performance.

Tina

Not sure, but she was a leader of an oppressed and besieged people and she was captured, raped and murdered, so Mother Earth and Boudica have something in common.🤷‍♀️ Xen will maybe explain at some point.....🖤

Dina

Painfully beautiful, but I didn't expect anything less! By the way, don't you want to post the lyrics publicly to prevent more false versions popping up? I already saw that quite a few people tried to write down the lyrics in the YouTube comments.

Ne Obliviscaris

I guess so! Though where possible we try to post stuff here first: it’s been so long since we released anything I can’t remember what we did previously though 😂

Mat

I knew Boudicca's story but it hadn't crossed my mind to see it that way. Makes sense. Thanks, Tina.

Marco Gonzalez

Amazing Lineup 🔥🖤. Got my ticket for the LA show.

Alex

it seems to be on apple music now!
