Lyrics:
Flag In The Ground
In the days when lands were few,
And man sometimes had no chance
But sell his soul to his landlord to make a living
In far and away country,
They gave acres of land away for free,
To all able to claim it
Ships sailed across the great seas,
Fortunes were made and dreams shattered
Sometimes couples were torn apart,
For all they could afford, was one ticket.
Leaving my life behind
My young love and the unborn
Only have a lock of her hair
And burning love inside
After forty work-filled days and sleepless nights,
The sails are lit by the lights of Boston
And here we go
Off the ship! towards the adventure,
The one to define our lives.
Daily grind and a tiny room.
I got here safe, love.
I have an address, until spring, then I shall race for the land,
Hope to hear from you soon
Her letter reads
Please let me know everything's alright
Thinking about you, though you're out of sight
Every night, when I'm turning in, my tears find me.
Please hurry, dear, come back and rescue me
Now that I have made the dollars we need for the dream.
The best horse I've ever seen,
A carriage and everything I need
I will make my way to the great unknown
Every moment I wish you were here with me now
Please let me know everything's alright
No, I'm not a stranger, among the people in here
Yet I have never felt so alone
At high noon the sound will boom,
And I will start racing for the
Land we can call home.
I stuck my
Flag in the ground, screaming 'n shouting,
I've never felt so proud, love!
We are free from eternal serfdom!
I'm gonna bring you home, my light!
Nine, eight, seven, six, counting the days. solo!
Five, four, three, two, together forever! solo!
I made my way into the great unknown
Land by the river, and a new built home.
I am the land and the land is me
Freedom is everything and we are free
I made my way into the great unknown
Land by the river, and a new built home.
Every night, when I'm looking at the full moon rising
I hold you and know that we are free

This entire album is criminally underrated.
The whole band is criminally underrated.
I wholeheartedly agree!
Agree, i was guilty... but now i loved it
jani's leaving the band got underrated => jani is on-rated
Py 3.14 I like Jani. I think he was an excellent contributor to the band. The song that he wrote, "my selene" is one of my favorites. But when Jani got arrested the band had to carry on. There is no use harboring a prejudice against SA because they went on without him when it was Jani's fault that he had to leave in the first place. They left on good terms and now we have the band Cains Offering. Two bands making more music that I like. Is Sonata less without him? Thats up to personal opinion. I like their current lineup and think Elias does well. SA has changed so much from their old days that its hard to make any comparison. But bands must evolve. If they did the same thing forever, they would get old. I liken them to the band to Queen. not all of their alums are awesome but they are always innovative.
Today i found Sonata Arctica. Today was a good day.
Oh, boy. You're in for a treat. I kind of wish I were you.
same ;P
RangerFaramir i found them the day my friends took me to a show in december
ice cube :D
Same.
Found out about Sonata Arctica first with this song, and (don't judge me) I was playing Runescape adventuring my ass off at 2009 with Sonata Arctica, then all the Finnish bands came along, Children of Bodom, Nightwish, Stratovarius, good times, hope Sonata Arctica comes back with more stuff like these, hopefully.
Dude same.
Same here, but I was more like Tibia instead of Runescape
Currently playing RuneScape listening to this song. Sonata Arctica, Nightwish and more. Freakin' love them so much.
Same here i still playing tiba with sonata song miss my childhood playing RuneScape and Tibia with power metal songs
I was playing Riders of Icarus when I got introduced to this lol.
They should've given Tony a microphone, most singers have no idea what to do with their hands or how to move otherwise. Lol. :P
lol its a pretty kick us up tempo song, can ya blame him for wanting to move around and get into it
Eu era muito viciado em Sonata, eu lembro no dia que eu ouvi pela primeira vez, tempo que não volta mais... vontade de perder a memoria e ter a sensação de escutar pela primeira vez.
Sei como é. Tmb não esqueço a primeira vez que ouvi, na casa de um amigo, o winter's heart guild . All the way back in (golden) times...
Eu também mno pra mim sempre é a primeira vez que se torna o som mais gostoso de ouvir
Eu não conhecia muito essa banda, atualmente é minha banda favoritaa de powermetal🔥🤘⚔
Eu também, a primeira que eu ouvi foi Victoria Secret. Foi algo mágico, algo que eu nunca tinha experimentado antes. Minha porta de entrada pra essa banda foda
@@lucas__miyu começou, na minha opinião, com o melhor álbum deles. The Cage e Victoria's Secret estão entre as melhores músicas deles.
Why is Fabio Lione the guy in the story?
why wouldn't he be?
Wow...just love how you worded that! Sonata Arctica are very dear to our hearts.
Just heard about this band just a few moments ago. And just finished listening to this song before I posted this comment. I now understand why my life felt incomplete until now. These guys are fucking awesome.
They are even better live.
oh yes. see the guys in Germany.. and i feel totally in Love :D #nohomo
+Dan Kyrill I saw them here in the U.S. and immediately fell in love.
I saw them here in Venezuela, one of the best days on my entire life, i love this band, their songs, their lyrics, everything about Sonata Arctica its beauty.
I've always liked the song. But I'd like to know how a band from Finland knows so much about a part of 19th-century American history that a majority of Americans know little or nothing about.
Magic
John Cate An English study showed that Metal Heads are usually more intellectually inclined than other music fans so that might give you an idea why
John Cate They probably watched that movie with Nicole Kidman in it, as I did, she's so fucking hot on that.
John Cate It's because there were a lot of Finns who moved to America back in the day for various reasons and most of us have distant relatives overseas, it's a shame that most of us have no clue about their existence, but on the other hand, neither do they. They might not know their roots that well or at all and/or they're not capable of speaking their original language that their ancestors spoke.
Not to sound like too big of a smart alec but this is late 17th or 18th century America. If it were the 1800's you would not look for the lights of Boston. You would instead look for the statue of liberty or ellis island. Both in New York. Also, during the 1800's the steamboat was invented so it would be more likely for there to be one going across the ocean than an old galleon (or comperable wood ship). Finally, putting your flag in the ground like that ceased by the 1800's because by then you had to buy land. Fortunately land in the west was cheap due to the homestead act.
HELOUST HELOUST!
Sonata Arctica was the first band I really loved, when I was 8yo and I still love them now. They're simply the best.
Every single song by Sonata Arctica is epic
I miss these times as the world is so fucking fucked-up right now.
Shame Sonata Arctica isn't as popular in the US than it should be. They're so awesome, from first album to last.
Simply fantastic, I've referenced this quite a bit because it fits the heart and soul of exploration. Sonata Arctica, Pleas for the sake of music as a whole keep being awesome.
I love this band (PERIOD)
Like im actually considering to travel to Europe to see them... like no joke.
I love the singer's energy and facial expression while he's singing. :) That's passion right there.
If you read the lyrics while hearing the song, it gives you the chills. LONG LIVE SONATA ARCTICA
Jarvan IV aproves this.
Wasn't that a standard? xD
got that pun
i died with this xD jajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajaja best comment ever xDD #haildemacia
Niilo22 VOU VOU VOU
ja näin
on!
hyvää fillaripäivää vuoon tänään pestään mattoja
Heinä olis ohi ja nyt toden teolla alkaa valmistautumaan joulun odotukseen & lumen
Kuhtalainen musavideo 2/5,5
1- Is the dude with the flag the singer of Rhapsody of Fire?
2- Why does he have longer and prettier hair than his wife?
>Why does he have longer and prettier hair than his wife?
Metal magic
another reason could be he's colonial but i think the other guy's explanation is better
Ah Sonata. So nostalgic listening to this. Such a great album when it came out. :D
And still is a great song
Will always be a great song
In 2011 they came to Brazil. It was the first time I was in a Sonata's concert. When Tony came in playing this song , its was one of amazing experiencia I ever had!
Tony Kakko is so hot omg
I know right! he is one of the hottest guys on finland😍
é brasileira? :')
I prefer Jukka Nevalainen :P
+Emily Taylor Also a good comedian too XD
+Lone Mic Productions Which concert did you see them at? Saw that at Tampa FL
Until today, Ive only listened to like one band and a bit of another. Now, I have found the 2nd part to my heart of music.
Firewind and Sonata Arctica are now the power metal bands that keep a fire blazing in my heart
niilo22 suosikki
Khyl
Idk how I got here, what I am doing here, but this song is pretty epic. Now I am kinda hyped to play a battle ground in WoW and fight for a flag "on" the ground.
I can not help it but to hear "I got here safe lel" at 0:53
Now you ruined the song for me XD (not ruined but i hope you get the joke)
Victor De La Quadra Ye I ruined it for myself too haha
This song reminds me of old times of Sonata, I hope they return to their formal style and become my favorite band once again!
a song about every soldier :')
Is Fabio Lione(Rhapsody of Fire) on this video?
No, the guy just really looks like him lol :p
Jajaja! I know LoL
Oh sorry xD
I just love how energetic Tony is in this video. He seems to really enjoy doing what he does, and he certainly does a great job of it.
this guys are opening for nightwish in the Colorado springs concert hell yeah is gonna be a good show
+Amaranth Yes! Going to see the show in Cleveland. I only wish they were sharing the headline so they could be a little more even on set times, but yeah, it's going to be amazing.
+RandomRaven I thought there's just Pittsburgh, Columbus and Detroit?
+Amaranth I was talking to RandomRaven, who said that he/she was seeing the show in Cleveland. I'm from Cleveland, and was pretty sure the Nightwish/Sonata Arctica tour was only hitting cities around Cleveland, not Cleveland itself.
However I forgot that Sonata is doing a headline set in Cleveland as an off date from the Nightwish tour.
+Vikram Shankar - Official (obelix5150) im going to the concert for nightwish. but having this band Sonata Artica is a plus. hopefully they won't change them i really want to listen to them live
I saw them in Birmingham, Alabama. Most amazing show I've ever been to. I did not expect Sonata to be as incredible as they are.
Man, stop saying new Sonata or old Sonata, it's fucking Sonata!! The best power metal band!!
Gabriel Servilha cai pro pau
I always get a bit surprised when I see their mv's because Tony Kakko always looks so much better than I imagine X)
this is a power metal?
Yup. 😁
No, this is Patrick
That solo does not exist.A God must have composed it.
Wtf the Fabio Lione lost brother kkkkk
Sheldon Yokai better than him ur Brazilian
kkkkkkk?
I think the best part of this song is the countdown at 3:25. It builds up the anticipation, and right when you expect to hear "one!", you DON'T hear it. I don't know how to explain it, but it builds up such feeling with the countdown, and lets the rest of the song speak for the "one" you don't hear. I don't know. That's what I get out of it anyways.
You guys seriously need to bring Jani back into the band. I can't even imagine how good the music would be with 2 guitarists.
Jani and SA parted on good terms 7 years and 3 studio albums ago. Just let it go, man :(
I don't want to..... :(
Jonathan Unger And just to be clear I really like both sounds of SA. My ears tingle at the thought of both awesome guitar players (and writers) making music.
Who came from niilo22 ?
What did niilo 22 do?
I'm not into metal. But this band. This band I can listen to, and have been for a couple years.
Fabio Lione is there? lol at 0:52
Mauricio Schell O.o true.
kkkkkkkkk lol My friend .... tu é br?
You ruined it for me now...
The reason this music is so much better than a lot of the music today is because these guys enjoy playing, its not just about a paycheck for them. This is why most of these metal bands are so good. The whole genre is not as demanded as pop, or alternative. They simply play because it is what they enjoy.
Sensacional gruno espero proximamente vengan a México.feliz 2014 a todos los fans
Y, vendran a Guadalajara?
Igualmente
David Zuñiga Ramirez no lo se.sí vienen al d.f tocan por lo.regular en.un sitio nombrado Circo Volador .entra a su página y.ahí encontraras la cartelera.estoy por comprar mis boletos en cuando lo haga te avisarle.saludos desde cd méxico

David Zuñiga Ramirez eso me gustA buenas noches desde cd méxico
One of the best Power metal and Symphonic metal bands in the world. Their conception of metal is unique. In almost all of their songs is very good combination of voice and melody, which makes their songs very catchy and also still entertaining. Very good work, keep it up.
And one more comment:
Take a flag of whatever you represent - your country, your town, your favourite football club, whatever.
Climb up a high mountain.
And finally, stick that flag in the ground.
Pure ecstasy, trust me.
Anyone else think this song could almost be about Edward Kenway?
Douglass Whipple No.
then it would be flag on the ship
Conor Walsh
I meant the sub plot about his wife.
Then yes its similar I suppose
i've been a SA fan since Ecliptica, HOW did I not hear this before?! :0
--awesome as always!!
Oh lord, that Chorus is epic!
+Lambo Diablo less epic when You know it was a song about watching tv at first :P look for Tricky Beans Blackout song
My personal favourite Sonata Arctica song. I dunno what it is, but the chorus is insanely catchy, almost folksy. A bit more dark than my usual metal fare, but still awesome.
the story behind this song is: "In the days when lands were few, and man sometimes had no chance but sell his soul
to his landlord to make a living...
In far and away country, they gave acres of land away for free, to all able to claim
it... Ships sailed across the great seas, fortunes were made and dreams shattered...
Sometimes couples were torn apart,
for all they could afford...was one ticket."
How Awesome is this band!!! They cannot make a bad song!!! Everything they touch turns to gold!!! I LOVE SONATA ARCTICA
este grupo es de lo mejor que hay de musica a nivel mundial. Ya hace como 4 años que los escucho y aun tienen el toque.
Larga vida Sonata
I love Sonata Arctica. They will always be one of my favorite bands. This song that they wrote here is about a peasant going to make his own life with his wife. A tremendous hardship at the time. They want to live their own life as individuals. Its July the third and this makes me feel very patriotic. Not because of all the political crap of what America is in the moment, but what its supposed to be. I love freedom and individuality. I love the idea of suffering though problems to find hope. Thank you Sonata. This song is a love-letter to what America is supposed to be.
These guys and Leaves Eyes @ Mill City Nights, Minneapolis MN. Nov 22. I'll be there.
Ubisoft should have used this song for ac4 black flag in the soundtrack
seeing them in a few days!!!! hope they play this song, totally my favorite
Guys, if you were true fans of Sonata Arctica you would know a little about their history. They started of as Tricky Beens and played rock/hard rock and changed their name to Tricky Means and still played rock/hard rock and then they changed to Sonata Arctica after a change in the lineup and began to play power metal and got big with the album Unia.
I've been listening to this song for a couple of months now. Recently in my US history class we learned about the Boomers and Sooners, and now I finally know what the hell this song is talking about. xD
This is one of the best songs i have heard so far on my quest to find the ultimate power metal band and song!
Never getting bored of listening to this song.A timeless classic!
This may be more popular in Europe. But as a Mexican American, this is one of my favorite bands. >:D
Her letter reads...
"Please let me know everything's alright
Thinking about you, 'though you're out of sight
Every night, when I'm turning in, my tears find me
Please hurry, dear, come back and rescue me"
crying blood ç.ç
Todos os clichês possíveis de metal melódico em uma só musica. Gostamos.
im serious, how can 600 people in this world dislike this song? it has something for everyone, great singing, expert guitaring, serious fast accurate drumming, and a wonderful story to boot. now how can anyone dislike it?!
Some people just like being miserable pieces of shit ig
I left my home and my love to go far far away from my country... and I perfectly feel the song. Thank you Sonata Arctica.
@SenseiAssKicker If that fail the hole video fail cause guitars an keyboards are a little bit modern to (:
2019? ❤
I totally adore Tony...but he's a hot mess without a mic stand to hang onto...
I stuck my flag, in the ground, screaming and shouting : this is AWESOME !!
you could see that they are pretty amazing at making songs and even now after jani has left you can see that he too helped a lot with the twisting and turning in interpretations of the songs and moods
que nostalgia este fue el primer tema que escuche de Sonata :3
that man is Fabio Lione? xD
i love this song
Here is the original version:
czcams.com/video/PiFcyHjmLfI/video.html
That quick little lead at 3:00 is flat out incredible.
Sonata Arctica Power Metal estou ouvindo e curtindo.
Power Metal has the power to reach into the soul (especially mine).
I think it's one of their best albums, and I love their power metal stuff. Deathaura, the last amazing grays, juliet, the dead skin, zeroes, and this song are all amazing.
Then again, I think Unia is their best album, so maybe I'm in the minority.
i missed them,soo long i havent heard these amazing band
My Favorite Song of Sonata Arctica! :')
Excelente música, bom trabalho Sonata!
2:41 haha i cant help but feel like tony is going "ONWARDS TO INFINITY!" in that moment :p
Prologue from the album-inlay:
In the days when lands were few, and man sometimes had no
Chance but sell his soul to his landlord to make a living…
In far and away country, they gave acres of land away for free,
To all able to claim it… ships sailed across the great seas,
Fortunes were made and dreams shattered…
Sometimes couples were torn apart,
For all they could afford… was one ticket
Gostei da encenação do fábio lione nesse clip.
mushaushuahsuha, primeira coisa que notei tbm
Maiss e ele?????
perfection in the form of music ♥
I was trying to find example clips of a japanese drum called Kakko (you see where I'm going right?) for my music exam tomorrow. I didn't find any. Found this band and their awesome fucking singer instead. I'm so not disappointed, this is way better than an A in music class.
Solo vine a reproducir la canción en x0.85 para saber cómo sonaría si Sonata Arctica la hubiera escrito en 2019.
XD jajaja
well i love this song :>
2:40 dat face tho
btw, to all of you who wish for more songs like this:
actually, it's old as shit. The original song is from the time before Sonata Arctica, when they called themselves Tricky Beans/Tricky Means, it was called "Black Out" then. Look it up, it had different lyrics, but the music was almost the same...
Video was made in Poland, i love these guys, i've seen them on Masters of Rock in Czech Republik, it was great. I hope they will come to Poland for concert :) Sonata FTW :D
Leaving my life behind
My young love and the unborn
Only have a lock of her hair
And burning love inside
After forty work-filled days and sleepless nights,
The sails are lit by the lights of Boston
And here we go
Off the ship! towards the adventure,
The one to define our lives.
Daily grind and a tiny room.
I got here safe, love.

Now that I have made the dollars we need for the dream.

I've never felt so proud, love!
We are free from eternal serfdom!

Nine, eight, seven, six, counting the days. solo!
Five, four, three, two, together forever! solo!
I made my way into the great unknown
Land by the river, and a new built home.
I am the land and the land is me
Freedom is everything and we are free
I made my way into the great unknown
Land by the river, and a new built home.
Every night, when I'm looking at the full moon rising
I hold you and know that we are free.
I don't know what it is, but the chorus is fantastic and EPIC! It's not only this song, there's a couple of others, it's just fantastic! the style they sing it in
In some way that happened with all Sonata Arctica songs with. When a friend of mine told me about this awesome band "Sonata Arctica" I didn't know what to do with it. It was okay but I liked other bands more. But in a very short time, every time I listened to Sonata Arctica I liked it more and more. Today SA is my favorite band by far. They have Lyrics that blow your mind and a sound for every mood.
I always loved, how it is written as a ballad, like Enjoy the silence by Depeche Mode. Just think about it and listen to it with that in mind. It could work perfectly as a ballad.
Hands down my favorite Sonata Arctica song
I really don't know how can any new record of Sonata Arctica beat The Days of Grays.
But if this happens, holy crap ...
man these guys came a long way and now their famous, congrats guys i proud of you
SEND THEM TO ESC NEXT YEAR!! THEY WILL WIN! Greetz from Germany, we love Sonata!
