Lyrics:
The Bee
A fire in the sky
Ablaze the spark beyond the stars
Its gleaming wings will cut their way
Through the silent paths of space
Planets whirl, suns are lit
Mountains fly, stars are dimmed
Its golden sabres tear through time
In the night of the river of death
Fly the silent prince electors
On the banks of Tuonela
Bleach the skeletons of kings
Their skulls of sugar sickly sweet
Their bones piled up on the shore
On bed of mottled rocks
Amid flowers cold as ice
Pray the weak, the old, the poor
And when the tiny one from heaven comes
Crawls inside the chosen skull
And when the tiny one it summons the others
To crawl inside the chosen skull
They build their castles in the heads of kings
Bring life to the empty halls
They build their castles in the heads of kings
And honey will flow once more, once more
In the night of the river of death
Fly the silent prince electors
And when the tiny one from heaven comes
Crawls inside the chosen skull
And when the tiny one it summons the others
To crawl inside the chosen skull
They build their castles in the heads of kings
Bring life to the empty halls
They build their castles in the heads of kings
And honey will flow once more, once more

"You can't make metal about... bees!!!"
Amorphis: Hold my beer !
Feliciano Frontado Bees have always been Metal.
Listen to Butterfly Fx from Moonspell. They have a song called Can't Bee.
Feliciano Frontado oh shit
Yes You Can!!!!
Beads?
I'm so obsessed with this song! I've been listening this a million times, It's just amazing, the vocals are so clean and strong, the changes are so harmonic. This song hits you right on your miserable heart.
Lida Fernández The blend between harsh vocals and cleans is so majestic. Melodies and chord progressions nail it. I wasn't an Amorphis fan, but this song got me into them.
Don't be an unpleasant piece of shit. Damn why must Romania have such cunts lol.
The song is brilliant. Simply brilliant. It's among the best material from Joutsen-era Amorphis, and that's saying a hell of a lot.
Oh yeah me too and the words are just right the way it should be
YES! ME TOO.... IT'S TRUE!!!
Yes!
You know that feeling when you've just discovered a band, and you're super digging it... and then you discover they have like 9 albums? Yeah, looks like Amorphis and I will be spending a lot of quality time together.
You have a lot to find out :)
Only that they have 13 albums. And their time range is almost 30 years... They have renewed a lot during years, but there are familiar elements through the years too.
Congratulations on having dug up this treasure. Don't know about you, but I can never get enough of their music \m/
Same first time hearing this band and holy fuck it's great
Well happy for you. It just amazes the amount of people who have only recently found out about bands like Amorphis, Sentenced, Insomnium or even Nightwish when they have been around for decades.
It should not be about marketing but constantly trying to find new bands in the genres you like. And even how easy it is today with last.fm and Spotify that links you to bands to you propably like. Wasn't like that in the 80's and 90's :)
Kinda pisses me off than people are so lazy but good that you found them out.
Amorphis is incredble. I've never seen a band go from death metal to melodic death metal with folk elements to progressive metal/rock back to progressive death and nail it every fucking step of the way. It's awesome to me they've been able to put out more mainstream friendly stuff without ruining the integrity of their music like many bands tend to do.
Yes, and they don't have in my opinion a bad album! Sure from the great Karelian isthmus to this was a long way but always worth to go! Cheers from Germany and stay healthy!
Its official, Bee's are now considered Metal! Great song!
MetalMystica Are you kidding? Bees have always been Metal as fuck. They sting you to death. They are mostly black, and they are noisy. Bees are awesome.
Here's a video of bees burning a hornet to death - doesn't get more metal: czcams.com/video/K6m40W1s0Wc/video.html
Long Live Metal! Long Live Bees! (we need them!)
Yeah but by that logic, "hip hip hooray" is now considered metal : |
Bees and whales oh my
So this is officially the most epic description I ever heard about bees.
Dude its not about bees, its about the Israel king who will rise from the destruction and will lead the chaos (the antichrist or Al-Dajjal). the black pyramid, hexagram hive, destruction and blind followers
@@ahmadyoussif8104 I don't think so
Ahmad Youssif You’re very wrong my dude
@@ahmadyoussif8104 for me as a Finn it is about Lemminkäinen and his mother from the epic poem of Kalevala. You should check it out.
And the synth melody is straight from 1 of the children of Bodom songs, realized this with my dad 1 day.
A bee gave a kiss of life to an important figure in the glorious Finnish Kalevala-saga - I salute this piece, it is absolutely something you could listen to again and again and again, and build castles in your own mind and let your honey flow...
"let your honey flow" 💀
Things that Finland should be proud of:
1- education system
2- Amorphis
3. Insomnium
You should add Insomnium to the list.
Before the dawn, insomnium, omnium gatherum..... Finish melodic death metal 😍
Just say the entire Finnish metal genre.
NIGHTWISH!
Amorphis is back with an eargasm ! 👍
PORN - Industrial Rock / Gothic Metal
This is so amazing that for the first time in my life i'm really waiting an album to be released.
Tomi is the lord of harsh and clean vocals
The way of Chi then Mikael is god or sth haha
yeah mikael has a good voice also. I think for the more depressive melancholic sound Mikael is better, but for a more uplifting testosterone pumping sound id go for Tomi
but having said that if you listen to his voice in Hallatar, Doom metal Band. He takes his voice to a whole new darker and deeper level
Actualy his growls seemed better on the previous album than on this song. And overall I liked his wet, gluttural growl on Eclipse more than the harsher, drier tone he uses now.
Bjorn Strid is the Lord of Harsh and clean Vocals
Meeting Amorphis is literally meeting a World I wasn't aware of. Thank you. Sincerely.
To clear out the story behind the lyrics:
Wikipedia - Lemminäinen:
Lemminkäinen or Lemminki is a prominent figure in Finnish mythology. He is one of the Heroes of the Kalevala, where his character is a composite of several separate heroes of oral poetry. He is usually depicted as young and good-looking, with wavy red hair.
The original, mythological Lemminkäinen is a shamanistic figure. In the Kalevala, he has been blended together with epic war-heroes Kaukomieli/Kaukamoinen and Ahti Saarelainen.
In one myth, he drowns in the river of Tuonela (the underworld) in trying to capture or kill the black swan that lives there as part of an attempt, as Ilmarinen once made, to win a daughter of Louhi as his wife. In a tale somewhat reminiscent of Isis' search for Osiris, Lemminkäinen's mother searches heaven and earth to find her son. Finally, she learns of his fate and asks Ilmarinen to fashion her a rake of copper with which to dredge her son's body from the river of Tuonela. Thus equipped, she descends into the underworld in search of her son. On the banks of the river of the underworld, she rakes up first Lemminkäinen's tunic and shoes, and then, his maimed and broken body. Unrelenting, she continues her work until every piece of Lemminkäinen's body is recovered. Sewing the parts together and offering prayers to the gods, the mother tries to restore Lemminkäinen to life, but while she succeeds in remaking his body, his life is still absent. Then, she entreats a bee to ascend to the halls of the over-god Ukko and fetch from there a drop of honey as ointment that would bring Lemminkäinen back to life. Only with such a potent remedy is the hero finally restored.
For all us ignorant non-Finnish, this should be comment #1
has this something to do with the bock saga?
Hawester: Dude.. that’s a epic story!! 🤘😐
Kiitos!
@@huhmaa Thanks for letting us know the story behind this song.
I always wonder if bands like this give themselves shivers while they're recording their own music and pieces start falling into place. This must be such an adrenaline rush to work on something like this. Incredible.
Thats exactly what i think while listen yo their music
Of course there is. That's why bands write music
I really hope they know how sexy they are. Am man. Still see this as sexy. Also a beekeeper so super sexy haha.
These lyrics are about me (and my protectors aka the kings/princes etc) and so are the lyrics to the song Silver Bride. I am the true/only Queen / Lady / Princess / Star / Goddess etc and I represent The Bee and The Silver Queen and The Silver Bride and The Queen Of Time! My protector Chip has been involved in the creation of most lyrics and movies (he and the ClA included lots of subtle references to me in many songs/movies and made many songs about me) and included 2 of my main symbols aka the Infinity symbol and The Triangle in many videos...
In the song The Bee, they subtly referenced me as the flowers cold as ice, which is a secret reference to me the only being who reflects flowers and my perfect personalities (each perfect personality represents a different flower) and, this reference was included by Chip -- the song Ice Queen is also about me, and I represent the cold/ice and flowers and many other pure and interesting elements, myself being the most complex being!
I've listened this song already like 20 times, it's so perfect. I love it ♥
Ximena Melodeath I'm doing the same hahahahaha
I can't help but loop it.
Yea, same here! I sitting here learning the vocal lines. LOL
The lyrics are especially good, up there with Come the Spring
Same! I found this song like one hour ago and i've already listened it at least ten times :D
Song gets better every another listening time. Especially like the "They build their castles in the heads of kings" and song is elevated to the next level.
Ikr? I love how you at first have growl + more heavy music, then it switches to light vocals + more symphonic, and then goes growl + symphonic with just hits different
SAATANA PERKELE! FINLAND IS THE LAND OF THE BEST METAL BANDS IMO! GREETINGS FROM BRAZIL!
Cant stop listening. This tiny one has crawled inside my skull.
Thats the best part man🤘
"And honey will flow once more" Well, Amorphis made that sound metal AF.
And honay
æ,
haha so true
Super. Metal 🤘❤🤘👌
Nice, pfp
This band on another level
This is the ultimate combination of two different worlds where Amorphis rules - the sweetness of nightless midsummer nights and the crushing power spiced with epic oriental influences...and Tomi's versatile vocal work seals the perfection!
So true!!!!!
Brutal and Soothing... Respect to this band.
That intro is the best thing I've heard yet this year.
"You cant make a song about bees!"
Amorphis: *_HOLD MY HONEY_*
Mead*
Lol
To those wondering about the lyrics, this is sort of a sequel to their classic 'Silent Waters'. It's a continuation of the same story from the Kalevala, where Lemminkäinen's body is pulled from the river of Tuonela by his mother; the bee essentially allowed the body to be brought back to life, with a drop of sacred honey.
Thanks for this - I couldn't wrap my head around it :)
If he didn't mention Tuonela I'd have literally thought they're doing an Egypt mythology album and the Bee was actually the Scarab in a sort of artsy approach (similar to how last one was about the Indian/Aztec culture)
But damn, that's a good one.. Never realized how rich the storyline in Kalevala was.. Wish there were series of those :)
its under that weird yellow thing
Wow Janzer ... thank you for this!!
Janzer Urzin 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Finnish mythology & metal is great combination
FUCK YES!
Ive been growler my whole life. But Tomi goes into next level. And song is very creative and atmospheric as hell.
もうメロディーの裏でティロティロ鳴ってるキーボードの音色だけで涙腺にく～るう。
Our life is also smoke, changeable like its clouds, as unique as sunsets and sunrises, as nature, which is so diverse, and every day you discover something new and bright. One of the most beautiful compositions! Thank you, I love you endlessly🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘👏👏👏
Incredible! You can always count on Amorphis!
What a way to wake up. 🐝
Tess - Beeee yourself. 🐝
Пробирает до костей! Отлично, ребята!!!
magnificent... as always..
I can see you agree with me...
Im mesmerized! Absolutely amazing! Never a song has create such a great impact on me in a first listening! Epic ambience, powerfull tones, beautiful melodic lines and inspiring lyrics! Life will prevail always!
I used to listen to Amorphis during my college days. And years later, to this day, I still get chills down my spine everytime I hear his voice , specially the growls. Clear and perfect, that's how it is. It's so good to hear new songs from them! Greetings, from Mauritius Island. :)
This is just an eargasm everytime I hear it
The best and most beautiful growling in today's musical world. I admire Amorphis and Tomi Jutsen vocals
Niilo Sevänen???
I have just discovered Amorphis and they are the band I have been looking for my entire life
Maybe the most addictive song in the metal genre I have heard all year.
listened to this song probably no less than a thousand times, and it still gives me goosebumps
Love the subtle Arabic undertones. They never dissapoint damn them!
Bob in the riff
Do you know any other bands or songs that have a similar Arabic feel to it? I know for example Melechesh - Multiple Truths, but then not much more!
@@SterlingVanlaere try Myrath and Shokran, they both have that Arabic (Prince of Persia vibes) feel to them, although they are quite different.
@@SterlingVanlaere try King Gizzard and the Wizard Lizard. Myrath is also great as someone else here suggested.
@@SterlingVanlaere
(Not a band, but a specific song) Tirehtööri by Turmion kätilöt has what I'd call an Arabic feel to it (at least in the beginning)
Very recognizable as Amorphis (fortunately) but the sound is bigger than ever before and the last 2 minutes are almost unreal. Beauty and power rolled into one. Looking even more forward to the new cd now.
I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Me too!!
How is it possible a band to remain sooooo damn consistent (and even improving) with every single release...this album is mine!!!
the Best Sound of the World........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This day has been so good so far. A full Auri album released, a new single from Kalmah and the best of all: new Amorphis! I was a bit dissapointed with Kalmah's new single, but this song... Oh my god, Amorphis never fails! This song sounds like Under the Red Cloud on steroids
Yep! New Arkona, Orphaned Land, Auri, Kamelot and now this!
Yea, the new Kalmah was a little weak but still blows away the new Dimmu! Can't wait for the new Amorphis!
ToastedCigar kalmah's new album was fantastic!
Beekeeping will never be the same. Amazing.
If you asked me, guys, I would call The Bee one of the best Amorphis songs to date or perhaps even one of the best songs I've ever heard. It's magnificent! And the video is awesome.
Can't stop listening to this masterpiece
Killer track, can't wait for the new album !
Purely epic song. Love it. Lovely blend of melody and heavy vocals.
The Bee, or not The Bee, that is the question:
The Bee, that is the answer
The Bee
To be a bee or not to be a bee
To suffer the slings and arrows of crappy metal...
Steven Berkowitz
The fuck is wrong with Amorphis?
No the answer is 15
Superb Amorphis song. They always raise the bar. Always one more step. One of the top 5 best rock bands on the planet for several years.
I was listening to it and was going to hit the like button again. I didn´t realized I already hit it instantly yesterday!!
The intro is spectacular, those synths are amazing, and the contrast between the different sections is great.
Viimeinen laulu
Why can't we hit the like button on this at least a hundred times?
i had goosebumps listening to this
I've never really enjoyed this growling/screaming in songs, but somehow this song is different! I got chills throughout my body for the whole duration of the song. I think I'm in love.
again they did it. another shaking and eargasmic piece of work. They shouldn't stop making music. !!!! since l met their album " elegy" in 1997 l have been listening them with such joy and desire for their mesmerising melodies derived from finnish traditions. I greatly respect the honourable finnish people firstly because of amorphis secondly because of the way they established Finland from rocks and swamps just like the Turkish War of independence.
NOT THE BEEEEEES!!!
BEEDS?!
NAOOOOO-AHHAHAHHAHAH
Bees. My god.
fuck BEEES
HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHA
Oh God, this is amazing!!!!!!!🙏🙏
Can't wait for the album!!!!!
I hope there are other songs like this one
This is one of my top ten songs of all time. I never get sick of it. So damn good! 🎉
Excellent Song As Always With Awesome Amorphis!! And Tomi Joutsen Is The Heavy Metal Master, The Metal God In Growling And Clean Vocals 🤘👊🤘
I absolutely love it! Is AMAZING! It blows my mind! Been listening Amorphis since the 90`s and this is one of my favourites ever!
German Enrique Gavarrete Velasquez
Holy crap they've been around since the 90's? I only found them a couple days ago!
Darren M You should give a try and listen their first albums like Tales From The Thousand Lakes, is a masterpiece.
Same here...😁 I been listening to them since the 90's.
aquariuslalo We are old (maybe not much) 😂✊
One of the most consistent bands going awesome album
a killer song!!! a killer band!!! simple as that!!!
a killer album!!!
A killer bee
They’re still writing about Finnish folklore, I love it
It's ridiculous how good Tomi is. Those growls are on a different level. I fucking love this band.
Amorphis never disappoints!
Since 2006 they've been consistent af. Their only release I think was generally sub-par is Far From the Sun. Other than that, their discography is solid.
The Beginning of Times was little bit uninspired for me.... Only thing I can remember from the album is that there was saxophone solo.
Мурашки по телу.... Просто восхитительно!!!
that old argument of "not putting synthesizers in death metal" becomes dead after listening to this song, imho
try nightwish and epica
Amorphis do what they want, giving a f*** if it's metal or not. The result is always awesome music. :-)
@@babatoa or children of bodom
In which part is this death metal?
It's basically the point of industrial metal, have they ever heard of rammstein? Eisbrecher?
This is just perfect tune for alarm clock!! First 45seconds mega easy wake up❤
Love it and cant wait for more!
Holy shit they did it again! The hype for the new album is real!
They never make a bad song. Never.
Haha, hezký den :)
No Words in this world can't describe how beautiful is this song .This is maybe one of the bests songs of decade .
its so brutal and beautiful at the same time.. like Mona Lisa painted in blood.
its honey turning to liqvid gold.
Man am I glad I already snagged tickets to see these guys (with Dark Tranquility, Omnium Gatherum, and Moon Spell) in September!
Ryan Marr hell yea! Tampa for me woooooo!!!! Saw them last year and it was amazing
That sounds like a recipe for a great night out!
Best song of the last few years. Instant classic!!!
Absolutly love this track, perfect song, perfect melody and brutality, only for this song, this could be album of the year. Hail to
Amorphis.
As brutal as melodic. Very original, they understood how metal is working. Great job guys, you deserve more celebrity.
This beautiful song makes me cry. Heartbreaking chorus. AND WHEN THE TINY ONE... T_T
Thank you for this song
Max, 28 y.o.
again after 4 years WOW WOW LOVE IT
This Band always amazes me again. So great Composition of Elements. Keep doing your magic work guys! Bees are indeed such mystical creatures perfect choice for a song I realize.
Brutallll see you here, in Portugal, this year ❤
Killer Song. Absolutely amazed. Can't wait to preorder the vinyl.
Here's hoping that this is a concept album, because I really want to know more about this cosmic insect swarm of glorious undeath.
A Human well, the artwork is completely made out of bees and honeycomb shapes, so there's a decent chance it is.
My best guess is that it'll be like UTRC: not really a concept album, but all the songs feel like they're taking place in the same setting.
Look up the story of Lemminkäinen from the Kalevala. Mehilainen (the little bee) is a small part of his story and most likely the inspiration for this song. : )
is not easy to use the word "perfect" to describe a song, this is the time to use it: just PERFECT!
This is great..powerful, good melody, excellent words, nice and beautiful video, magnificent playing skills..this could be opera..and above all one of the best metal bands ever
When watching a lyric video is not boring, there's a good chance that it's done by Amorphis. Great song, can't wait to check out the full album. Amorphis delivers again!
I've got a good feeling we could have another Skyforger/Tuonela coming up
Tuonela is my favorite album of all time, I would LOVE that!
Those two albums are by far their best imo
Queen of Time is definitely at least at the level of those albums
and honey will flow once more ..... absolutely brilliant ...... Amorphis helps me get through long days in the office
I hear the 2 new Videos every day... and all Problems are gone😂😂I am Wordless... Love this clean Singing and the Crowls. a great Job you are done.. Amorphis❤️🤘🤘
At the beginning I was like "wtf, is Amorphis doing synthwave now" :D Amazing song.
Nah thats a classic Amorphis! :D
And I've been listening the shit out of Carpenter Brut's new album "Leather Teeth" lately (I highly recommend it btw), so I was totally into it too. The last album was awesome, but after hearing this I'm probably even more excited by Queen of Time.
I wish they were doing Synthwave!!! Their music is still music of high quality, but it's once again more of the same...
Definitely do that. Hmm.. Well If you're looking for some darker stuff you'd probably enjoy GosT. They've also released a new album this year called "Possessor" which is also fucking awesome (and their darkest one so far, imo). Their older material is also pure gold, though.
Amorphis is true pioneer of disco metal, they had disco vibes in Cares (from Elegy) already back in the days!
I have a bee in my brain.
"Once more." it buzzes.
And so I click Replay.
The female vocals into the intro, the lyrics and the mystery behind the bee makes me shiver.
Best amorphis song.-
Masterpiece, this song is perfect.
Insanely talented and skillful musicians! FINLAND!!
A true masterpiece, both the song and the video.
hahaha masterpiece ..right? cut down drinking my sweet
This Song Is Sweet 🐝🍯
EPIC!
😱 I cannot believe I've never heard of this band before this is Amazing 😲 .
Bees are the best!
Amazing! I love Bees, love love this song! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ such an inspirational song! Thank you guys! 🐝 🐝 🐝 ❤️❤️❤️
