Prog Power Metal Le meilleur du genre en Live (the best of Live) I decide to write the lyric : Walking through winter woods at night A starlit freezing sky With confidence and self control The abscence of the night held my captive soul alive Felt free to choose… As I wandered closer Towards the heart of the night A strange reflection calling from above Something gave me pictures, pictures in my mind Never seen before [Bridge:] As a puppet drawn towards… … A captive mind, no free will Closer to an unknown place… … Atmospheric, intense light [Chorus:] Waiting in silence Falling in deep trance [x2] The strange reflection whispered Out my name, an unknown voice Whisper in the trees and in the wind Heed the call, mysterious No control of mind Drawing closer Freezing sting in my body and my brain As I felt that I would Lose all my control I stopped and Took a deep big breath Who am I to face in this night? [Bridge:] As a puppet drawn towards… … A captive mind, no free will Closer to an unknown place… … Atmospheric, intense light [Chorus:] Waiting in silence Falling in deep trance [x2] Heed the call Of the enlightened conscious ones Time has ceased By the trance, you’ll see the light Purified light and sound unexplainable From the ship came lucid frightened ones “We came forth the seventh star Constellation far We’ve been here before” We watched this earth alive… … Breathing, dying A science experiment Bring the Sign, now bring it to The humankind to all “A …
@thepalemonarch I was just about to write the exact same thing! The vocal melody and everything, the groove, bassline, drums beat, chord progression… I wonder if they did it on purpose?
The opening lyrics are, infact, identical to Learning to Live. Aside from that, there are many other similarities in many of their other songs (riffs, drum patterns, etc.) that indicate they were heavily inspired by DT.
this song IS learning to live lol with confidence and self control
But regardless, these guys are one of my fave bands , epic
there definately are elements of LEARNING TO LIVE by dream theatre in there , especially the drum and bass groove and vocal rythmns
I think dream theater is as far as you go skill wise in music. these guys are epic none the less. ive grown to love pagans mind and i really hope people in the us wise the fuck up and start listening to prog metal instead of this lil wayne bullshit
Yeah, I think they keep moving a little more to Mainstream
Yes, Dream Theater is very good, but now I think that their music resembles more the rock which has of the metal
That’s your our opinion,
I think Pagan’s Mind is pretty good, but I over all favor Dream Theater
Probably not, but they’re still better.
EndOfYourDays , These guys probably wouldn’t be like this if it wasn’t for Dream Theater
Haaaaaaaaaaaaaah. These guys fucking own those Metallica worshipping parasites.
no, this ain’t no rip off, idiot!
Dream Theater rip off
Plagio a DT
this song is a tribute to Dream Theater by the way.
making a tribute isn’t ripping something off 🙂
Oh wow I didn’t even notice that.
Nils has said in interviews though that Dream Theater is definitely his biggest influence lyrically and melodically, so I guess its more of an homage than a rip off.
Learning To Live by Dream Theater – same lyric and very similar bassline at that point
Of who?
Just getting into these guys. Great attack with the heaviness and love the strong attachment to melody. Too many bands lose that.
god the base riff just takes over at 7:31 so epic… i love it
lol “with confidence and self control”
rip off.
Excelente banda!!! gracias por suir esto
This is one of the better live videos I’ve seen. Great track of course and good quality too! Pagans’s Mind rules!
