Primordial comments: “This is a simple story. A soldier’s fate that has happened around the world many times and will continue to do so. It is set in Ireland about 100 years ago. Nothing more and nothing less. They are the Ghosts. We are the Ruins.” LYRICS: The old enemies are dead and gone, long gone my friend You are like the boy who cried wolf A voice buried in another decade's fears and the songs you sang, to what end? We are the ghosts among the ruins Without history without nations We are the ghosts among the ruins Without faces without names How you silenced with joy the words of noble men Tear down the statues you cried and burn the books Strike their deeds from history and turn the clocks to nought Let year zero begin on my watch We are the ghosts among the ruins Without history without nations We are the ghosts among the ruins Without a future
whether or not it has an intended meaning, the lyrics seem to be very relevant to what's happening in the West, especially considering another song on the album is more explicit.
Great job; song and video. Kind of hard to watch, makes a huge impact. Good choice not having a "splatter-ending", way stronger this way. Respect to everyone, who worked on this.
not black metal anymore? never been? Primordial: my ultimate favorite band, critically the best band,; and one with their lyrics? Yes... puts em with only a handful of long running bands since 1st wave times. prʌɪˈmɔːdɪəl
This reminded me the "grave scene" from Peaky Blinders' season 2 finale. Very nice song with fine dark melodies as usual, I'm excited for the new album.
Up the RA Not the terrorists of the 60s and 70s and on Who bomed innocent Irish women and children But the brave men and women of 1919 Who suffered, fought, and died for Irish freedom, no matter who agreed with them Tiocfaidh ar la Erin go bragh
The bald guy getting executed is in an early British uniform, and the 3 Irish fighters are in early I.R.A outfits. I know what I'm talking about especially because it Is MY OWN PEOPLE!
An instant like. However somehow less heavy than what we're used to - hope it's not an attempt to capture further audiences by diminishing the metal element. In fact I would want to hear this in the "old", dirtier and more distorted Primordial sound.
I think he means Primordial is a disgrace because this clip shows the dark side of the IRA (and I would strongly disagree, Primodrial was awesome and the IRA did some shady shit).

LYRICS:
The old enemies are dead and gone,
long gone my friend
You are like the boy who cried wolf
A voice buried in another decade's fears
and the songs you sang, to what end?
We are the ghosts among the ruins
Without history without nations
We are the ghosts among the ruins
Without faces without names
How you silenced with joy
the words of noble men
Tear down the statues you cried
and burn the books
Strike their deeds from history
and turn the clocks to nought
Let year zero begin on my watch
We are the ghosts among the ruins
Without history without nations
We are the ghosts among the ruins
Without a future
MANY THANKS FOR THE LYRICS. QUESTION REMAINS...THE VIDEO WAS SHOOTING IN ROMANIA? THANKS FOR YOUR PROMPT FEEDBACK.
It was shot in Ireland at an undisclosed location near Dublin - thanks for your interest.
I think these lyrics has some extras words and missing some lines.
The "you've prayed for me" lines, e.g.
MANY THANKS FOR PROMPT FEEDBACK.
But lyrics are not correct in some part...
The end of the song is so powerful. I can't even.
whether or not it has an intended meaning, the lyrics seem to be very relevant to what's happening in the West, especially considering another song on the album is more explicit.
Such a great song with great lyrics too. I just love the atmosphere of it
Great job; song and video. Kind of hard to watch, makes a huge impact. Good choice not having a "splatter-ending", way stronger this way. Respect to everyone, who worked on this.
One of my top favourite songs from my favourite band....no words
Great Song, I am enjoying all these new songs from Primordial so far. This video means a lot to me and I love how it is a depiction of early I.R.A
υπέροχο............
They seem more Doom Metal in each new album!! Great!!
I am moved beyond words..the black and tans shot my great uncle dead outside the courthouse in Cashel. .
Stunning, stunning, stunning. Song, video, performances, everything. Gold.
Brilliant song guy's really loving it
A music straight from the guts and souls of true artists.

Primordial is Pagan metal, as always (Alan prefers this etiquette). I agree that Primordial is number one on my list, like you say.
the highlight of this track is its brilliant soaring vocals.
Primordial, welcome back. Amazing, as always, and that's an understatement. Thank you for being so goddamn good
Excellent.
Awesome!!!!
Awesome music.
Excellent
Great song and video. Congrats !!!
C'est primordial de l'avoir sur le pre-order !
Et magnifique d'entendre cet album ! Et aussi de voir des français ici ahah !
Good job on vid.. The dark song, fkn cool . \m/
I'm sure that beard is not up to regulation. Private A, report for latrine duty!
This reminded me the "grave scene" from Peaky Blinders' season 2 finale. Very nice song with fine dark melodies as usual, I'm excited for the new album.
Reminds me of Loits - Haavad Uulitsal, great tune too
Epic song, concept and video. Well done!!!
Well ahead of their peers, Primordial
Great video and the album is too much better than the last couple of albums
Absolutely stunning!
Flawless!!!!!!!!!!!!
❤
The band has progressed!
EXCELLENT TRACK!!!! Primordial are one of my favorite bands!
everytime i watch the video i keep on it to see if he gets out of it and either escapes or kills them
METAL BLADE RECORDS Thanks ! JUST A SIMPLE QUESTION THE VIDEO WAS SHOOTING IN ROMANIA?
THANKS PRIMORDIAL !
nope, Ireland
MANY THANKS FOR PROMPT FEEDBACK. MERSI.

GREAT!!!!!
Ghosts among the ruins, where greatest men have fallen.
Ireland's best kept secret, PRIMORDIAL fuck all in Ireland ever heard of primordial
Great song. Very sad. So sorry for the Irish. Have Irish blood myself
See you this August in villena (Spain), in the "Leyendas del Rock" festival
Huge!!!
It reminds Bloodied yet Unbowed
Up the RA
Not the terrorists of the 60s and 70s and on
Who bomed innocent Irish women and children
But the brave men and women of 1919
Who suffered, fought, and died for Irish freedom, no matter who agreed with them
Tiocfaidh ar la
Erin go bragh
🤘🏻
@Freetobewhoibe brought me here! He did an amazing review of the whoel album.
Amazing video and song
👍👍👍
I’ve served , and to be fair I understand both sides of the coin .. fair play to us both 😎 🇬🇧
🤘🏻.
божественно!
303rifle , that can take a cow down at 1000m in it’s day
We can tell that the executioner is a "tough gangsta" by the way he holds the gun.
Roll on may 26th. Dublin will be th capital once more. We are with you, bloodied yet unbowed.
Alan is a free- stater executed by the IRA or am I wrong on this? great track tho and much better than "To hell or the hangman" in my opinion.
Yes, this video depicts early I.R.A members executing a British Soldier.
It looks more like an Irish free state than a British uniform.
The bald guy getting executed is in an early British uniform, and the 3 Irish fighters are in early I.R.A outfits. I know what I'm talking about especially because it Is MY OWN PEOPLE!
You're own people? I'm Irish and the uniform Alan is wearing looks a lot like the uniform worn by the Irish Free State Army.
James Costello yes dude it is much better. I'm not Irish nor British but I'm pretty sure MacAmlaigh pretends to be the traitor.
uppa IRB
Yes Luger p08 and c96
Well spotted = both are originals from the 1910's.
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘👍👍👍👍👍
An instant like.

Muza spoko dająca różnorodne brzmienie jest ok 👌 👍 🎸 gitar basu i perkusji i vocalu także 👹👿😈🤘🤘🖤🖤.
I'm so pissed at the Mexican guy
Arsen Hakobyan what Mexican guy?
Arsen Hakobyan I'm pissed at the Argentinean guy.
Is this what Pearse and Connolly died for? System of a down vocals from a man covered in bog water and looks like he belongs in black veil brides?
adam taylor What?
