This song gets more relevant by the day, and we all knew and saw it coming. Seeing it live only makes it more human and frightening in a way. Serj Tankian is a true artist, versatile, explosive and poetic, all at once. One of the very best of his generation? Arguably. The most unique? Most definetely.
Hate me if you want for saying it, I love Serj's solo work as much as I do SOAD, but his recent singing for SOAD hasn't been too impressive, but this performance his singing almost replicated the studio version and it sounded amazing. I really hope he can keep that passion with SOAD's live performances too.
We're the day birds Deciding to fly against the sky Within our dreams, we all wake up To kiss the ones who are born to die We're the greying herds Hurting each other with our lies Within our dreams, we all wake up To kiss the ones who are born... Born to die Born to die The drum fish They beached themselves in Harakiri The blackbirds They fell in thousands from the sky Their red wings Streaming down from the higher seas Deflected by the ground They crowned the sun They crowned the sun (They crowned the sun) They crowned the sun (They crowned the sun) But I believe that they are free When their time was done (Their time was done) They were drowned by the only one (They crowned the sun) But I believe that they are free Washed by the sun Our statues The soaring edifice of our times Detracted from the ways of the wise The future will view all history as a crime So father, tell us when is the time to rise They crowned the sun (They crowned the sun) They crowned the sun (They crowned the sun) But I believe that they are free When their time was done (Their time was done) They were drowned by the only one (They crowned the sun) But I believe that they are free We're the day birds Deciding to fly against the sky Within our dreams, we all wake up To kiss the ones who are born to die We're the greying herds Hurting each other with our lies Within our dreams, we all wake up To kiss the ones who are born... Born to die They crowned the sun (They crowned the sun) They crowned the sun (They crowned the sun) But I believe that they are free When their time was done (Their time was done) They were drowned by the only one (They crowned the sun) But I believe that they are free They crowned the sun (They crowned the sun) They crowned the sun (They crowned the sun) But I believe that they are free And we believe that they are free Cause I believe that they are me Washed by the sun
The best thing s.o.a.d did was giving this guy a voice...thats it ... move on please world.. and listen to what is being said in this song! Its probably one of the most epic and relevant pieces of music to whats going on in the world we live in today. Dont be caught up in the worlds lies. Or false gods. Use you intuition. Follow your heart. ... peace and love. From australia
Absolutely amazing performance and one of the best vocalist of all time, yet how the hell is the crowd not thrashing lol, I would be going nuts if I was there! What a brilliant artist huge praise to Serj and his band, wow!
serj chose troy for some reason, if he is good enough for serj he is good enough for me. and troy is not that bad, i don't know why people hate on him so much.

Can I get a towel? Lol I think my comment in one of Serjs earlier videos about using a Roland over a Casio worked cause' that one guy from the FCC has been using one ever since. :)
man i love serj, his voice is so amazing and its great tthat he sends a message in his songs, but playing for a Red Bull concert its so dissapointing, it goes against his anti-capitalism beliefs, or at least his message...
his voice sounds like the studio version
"The future will view all history as a crime" this line hits me everytime

Totally agree!!!
Agreed.
Probably Serj's best live vocal performance that I've seen.
+Justin jonston Yeah he did very well
because his heart is in it
I got to see System of a Down in 2021. Serj still sounds great.

I really hope he can keep that passion with SOAD's live performances too.
TheShielsy101 Indeed, his voice is no longer compatible with his previous style, however, it's still quite amazing for the songs from his solo album.
TheSLK66 maybe cuz he recentely just returned to playing with soad. Maybe he needs some time?
Hadi Ghorab As far as I know he underwent surgery and stopped forcing his throat, his previous way of singing was too demanding.
TheSLK66 Probably, but i till think it sounds awesome! Either way.. Harshness wasnt really the main factor of soads songs
***** Or was that Draiman? Can't remember anymore XD
The genius serj tankian....
This guy has an incredible live voice
I love how you can see him feeling the music and getting more into the longer they go into the song.
Amazing... The whole song circles around the "Harakiri" meaning.
Glad to have lived in this time.
Teenagers in the 90's and 2000's!
Gosh what a stellar performance! Serj is truly a legendary genius 💫
We're the day birds
Deciding to fly against the sky
Within our dreams, we all wake up
To kiss the ones who are born to die
We're the greying herds
Hurting each other with our lies
Within our dreams, we all wake up
To kiss the ones who are born...
Born to die
Born to die
The drum fish
They beached themselves in Harakiri
The blackbirds
They fell in thousands from the sky
Their red wings
Streaming down from the higher seas
Deflected by the ground
They crowned the sun
They crowned the sun (They crowned the sun)
They crowned the sun (They crowned the sun)
But I believe that they are free
When their time was done (Their time was done)
They were drowned by the only one (They crowned the sun)
But I believe that they are free
Washed by the sun
Our statues
The soaring edifice of our times
Detracted from the ways of the wise
The future will view all history as a crime
So father, tell us when is the time to rise
They crowned the sun (They crowned the sun)
They crowned the sun (They crowned the sun)
But I believe that they are free
When their time was done (Their time was done)
They were drowned by the only one (They crowned the sun)
But I believe that they are free
We're the day birds
Deciding to fly against the sky
Within our dreams, we all wake up
To kiss the ones who are born to die
We're the greying herds
Hurting each other with our lies
Within our dreams, we all wake up
To kiss the ones who are born...
Born to die
They crowned the sun (They crowned the sun)
They crowned the sun (They crowned the sun)
But I believe that they are free
When their time was done (Their time was done)
They were drowned by the only one (They crowned the sun)
But I believe that they are free
They crowned the sun (They crowned the sun)
They crowned the sun (They crowned the sun)
But I believe that they are free
And we believe that they are free
Cause I believe that they are me
Washed by the sun

Excellent performance of Sir Serj Tankian. Respect.

They need to have John from system to be the drummer.
John recorded the drum tracks for this album xD, thats why the drummer is strugling
Awesome vocals. Also, I love the little drum beat at 3:37.
muito bom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!esse cara é demais...
they reunited.
That's how great Serj is:D
Impressive, the studio version sounds no different to his live singing right here :o
❤️❤️❤️❤️

Wtf with the drummer?
"cool"!👌
i think the tempo is too fast
Feliz cumpleaños daron malakian de system of a down 47 years y Mandy Rose de wwe womens del mundo mundial.

Hmmm.. I wounder..
jarakïri HAHAHHA
now i love serj, but he seems a bit...mellow? during the song, the rest of the performance however...breath taking
Beautiful but why is the drummer destroying everyone else??
afs ys no hablar eim espanhol n -_-
Serj is a soloist.
serj rocks, but I wish he'd go back to system and stay there
what's up with the drummer lol
I don't hate him, I'm just not pleased. Because I'm sure he could have found a better one.
serj é pica
there was the other guy on backup trying to overpower serjs voice... poor kid ha
The drummer destroys the song.
+nolejd50 yeah, but only in some parts, maybe because he also sings and can't concentrate :p
not an excuse
Rushing
nolejd50 true!!
Should’ve been the one and only, John Dolmayan
es buena la cancion pero es mejor con System...
Cuando es en vivo no :v
What is with drummers not being able to keep time💀🤣🤣
Duuuuuuurrr Suuuuuurrj! lol
worse fucking crowd. if I were there id be in oure extacy
Why can't you get back with system of a down
Free Palestine 🇵🇸
1 people gay
Drummer needs to play in the pocket a bit more. Definitely taking away from Serj.
man i love serj, his voice is so amazing and its great tthat he sends a message in his songs, but playing for a Red Bull concert its so dissapointing, it goes against his anti-capitalism beliefs, or at least his message...
I hate the fact that he has a solo career
lionel couturier why. Everybody needs to move on at some point. Hes doing what he loves
Yeah, his solo stuff is great, and fits his voice well, the recent system shows weren’t great
Me gusta kmo kanta pero en system esta más Cabron su vocalización
Serj follow playing his imaginary instruments jaja, he's the best
