MIKASA // LYRICS
Before me there stands an opportunity
There for the taking In this moment - this exact moment
I shall prepare myself
To face a monster of which only I may conquer
Conjure the power bestowed upon our souls
Conjure the power
Align the stones to form a message in the sand
I will never relinquish
It is written in the sand
Which lies below me
Staring back at a helpless man
I've done all I can
It lies in the hands of those who seek a voice soaring above the rest
Built from the ground
Forming scratches upon the surface
We survive in wretched of times
We survive in wretched of times
Conjure the power
We survive in wretched of times
And we thrive in the most wretched of times

That is one of the catchiest metalcore cleans I've heard
Do you also enjoy Periphery or Erra?
@@treehann Prayer Position is a wicked tune by periphery!
@@GaiaSymphonyUniverse one of many :)
Erra and periphery are fucking rad
No is metalcore
It's Proggresive Metalcore and ocassionally Djent
Cannot stop listening to this...
Me either, and to be honest I wasnt sure if I liked it at all through the first two listens. But I gave it another chance and now Ive been blasting this shit on repeat for days!
Agreed i actually was disgusted at first but then my noggin told to quit being stoopid and now i enjoy the hell out of the new sound
Smithysmithin me neither dude.
Second that motion, this song is so melodic and so good!
Smithysmithin Same lol. I probably listened to it at least 10 times today lol.
This rules.
Hey casual Jake Bowen
Jake Bowen Damn right it does. Great direction for these guys from a long time VoM fan. Also, Omega > Alpha ;)
Jake slipping in that diiiiiii....I mean comment ;D ahaha
+Jake Bowen youre great
Fuck yes it does, not to mention you can't neglect music when periphery's guitar player likes it.
So this is Mikasa Ackerman's theme song when she's slaying titans
no, stop it
@@joshualox32 wym no :0
@@hanson9837 i would assume he’s just an anime hater
@@RubyXIII dudes trynna deny the fact that they legit made the song for Mikasa 😭😂
the lyrics are blatently about mikasas view
you know its metal when the bass has more strings than the guitar
except for the tons of bands that use 8 string guitars haha
Djent*
Neo Seoul by ATB for example?
no
Lol bro
I've been looping this song the past few days. So good.
yesssssssssss
I’ve been listening to this band for a while and I just barely found this song. What the 🤬
CONJURE DE POWEEERR
its an everyday thing for me
Its certified by rgt that its good
Holy fuck I'd NEVER thought I'd be fond of the idea of Veil of Maya employing catchy hooks and choruses but this shit right here is super rad.
You came here from Luke Hollands video didn't you? I did. I see u on a lot of his vids.
+MrCJduo partly! I knew of this band before, just wasn't aware of this song
+Charlie's Drum Corner haha same!
Dude! Luke hollands dule cover of this some is fucking rediculous!!!!!
+Tim Mendez Your spelling is as well.
Anyone else feel like 9/10 metalcore bands since 2015 have just been chasing this sound? One of the best metalcore tracks ever.
This has been the metalcore sound for 15 years
Jesse stop singing! Jesse stop!! We gotta cook Jesse!!
ERRA reference ftw
voxextremos22 no wtf?? Breaking Bad. Cause the vocalist looks like Jesse. Idiot
Calm down i don't watch breaking bad.
voxextremos22 They did a Breaking Bad spinoff.
You mean spoof i didn't watch it
I'm in love with the fucking chorus omg
Mikasa es su casa
You, mexicans...

+bob bobson :v :v
+bob bobson That kinda made my day
+Phellipe Diaz mexicano solo porque escribe en español?
I wonder how many SnK/AOT fans got introduced to this amazing song/band after searching up Mikasa :D
I did and now I’m looking for more songs like this one but of different anime lmao...I remember being 12ish when listening to this for the very first time and being introduced to aot
Edit: I was on shuffle on spotify when i stumbled upon this song and thought mikasa was a greek godess or sum from a series lmao
I actually know Attack on Titan from this song xD
Opposite. I knew VOM before AOT
I found this song from osu ;w; And downloaded the beatmap bc Mikasa... ofc...
I'm a weird AoT fan xDD
@@late8138 i suck so bad at osu, but i'm so thankful i discover my favourite artist there, reol!!
00:48 Stealing burgers of a helpless man
Once you hear it, it cannot be unheard
o fuck :(
Lmao 😂
Lol
omg! i can't unhear it!
@@TamishraBiswas Make me a sandwich, please?
the chorus is very catchy.
Janusz Okoń agreed
Damn agreed
Why not bro
Ikr
choruses are the worst part of this band by far
That chorus is so fucking addictive
Yes
Thx Osu.
I'm glad someone else thinks so.
Precisely. Its catchy but also sung very well.
mikasa always proving that she deserves every inch of recognition :) im so mad i didn't find this song earlier and it sounds so good
Let it be known that what partly attracted to me to these guys was the amount of nerdiness they put into the names of their songs on Matriarch
Same.
Please Veil of Maya, do more songs like this! Agressive with clean chorus and a great instrumentals... this song is addictive.

I've watched this video a dozen times and everytime I do I can never pay attention to the video, I'm just blinded by the song itself
more like blown. again and again
DAME itsnso weird
I've never been a fan of "clean vocals" but I can't stop listening to this song
yeah me too actually.
+1
***** Yeah you are one of those "Oh look, I saw VoM fans are arguing about the new vs old VoM. I MUST join the old VoM fans so that I look much smarter and cooler!>" 8 years old kids.
***** I have no hesitate to say I love this band from The Common Man's Collapse to Matriach. And from your "must be 10 years old" comment, I can see who is 10 years old now. Because why the fuck not? Why can't people who like Veil Of Maya listen to this and that makes them 10 years old? Fucking hell I hate these kinds of people in music community. I mean, from Foo Fighters, Green Day, to Slipknot, to Disturbed, Korn, and VoM? These kinds of kids actually making this community looks stupid. They're trying to look "not following the trends" but went far too fucked up.
I fell in love with this band early in highschool during common mans collapse.
Its not safe to swim today will forever be laid into my DNA. All bands change and this just makes me sad. They NEED Brandon back.
I don't wanna like this... but I REALLY fucking like this.
You don't want to like this because...
sirstickykey Cuz it's not Veil...........but it IS VEIL!
Joooooooeeeee
Exactly how I feel
ThatKiDwiththeDrums I thought cleans would be the death of them and wasn't looking forward to it at all....but damn i really dig this
Ouvindo em 2024, como sempre..
I really love how he says "sand" the first time in the chorus... "siand"
yeh me too, it sounds awesome!
sieeend
How can you understand what their saying? He's screaming like an idiot
Angela Jones the chorus has clean vocals
Angela Jones Because people in the metal community can understand screams. Once you listen to something enough you learn to understand. It’s not complicated. Also, screaming properly is a lot harder than anything you’re able to do.
WHY HAVEN'T I LISTENED TO THESE PEOPLE EARLIER IN MY LIFE
THEY ARE GODS
lol I dunno, I've been listening to them at least since 2009.
Hey It's Lily maybe because they didnt do clean vocals before this new vocalist. i like old and new VoM tho
HE SOUNDS LIKE A DEMON
anime boy that's kinda the point
lmao their older stuff is way better. guess you like mediocrity
Really diggin' this track!
Periphery vibe , like Spencer soleto and Mish Mansoor in the production and vocal
just dropping by for my daily visit #mikasa
Hello good sir! Enjoy a bias free listen! #VeilHasRisen \m/
***** hey your dead how you talking lol
Lol that's funny
eli joe #3visitsdaily xD I love this song SOOO MUCHHH!!!
eli joe Haha I visit this video daily as well!
If you people don't like the clean vocals just because its not "manly", then you guys have ego problems. This song has great musicianship and it's badass
it's not about 'manly' or not, at this point, for me at least, it's now a matter of EVER fucking band that sounds like this adding cleans. the lack of cleans in their catalog made them stand apart from the rest, now they are like the others. musically this song kills but, the clean vocals are not needed
Maybe not every song will have cleans on it, kinda like what chelsea grin did, their new album didnt have cleans on every song haha
Clean vocals can be done in a style that sounds mature like Jesse from KSE or something. I just dislike bands that use the post-hardcore whiny scene band style of cleans as if they got kicked in the nuts.
Its cheesy and poppy and whiny its ok but this sounds like every other pop band
Dystopia1980 couldn't have said it better... everyone says fuck u guys I like the singing parts... its not clean singing, its a metal guy throwing in the fucking "pop" genre into the middle of a good metal song goddammit! lmao fuckin a... I dont know why VOM fuck with us like this... like hey you could have something incredibly unique and amazing, but let me pause and play you some pop music, shall I
I dig the drum power trip at 2:50.....and the whole song is just amazing!
Daniel Tremblay Yes, this part is insane, that's so cool
Daniel Tremblay Fuck, i love that subtle shit.
Almost hijacks the ending of the track. Lol
way too cool🔥 テクニカルで抒情 🔥/ 0:28 / クリーン綺麗過ぎ👍ブラストもバリバリ入ってて完璧💯💪
Incredible 👍Thank you from the bottom of my heart🙏💪
0:00 - 3:13 gotta be my favorite part!
No, this is not your house this is Mikasa
when you speak spanish and english :v
Tais Antonelli tacos
Eu entendi
Falo português, but I love English y hablo espanol tambien
Tais Antonelli Spanglish
2:23 is transcendental. Holy shit this dude has some killer set of pipes. I'd like to hear a side project with nothing but clean vocals.
Mikasa: “Eren”
Everyone: “aw shit, here we go again”
Eren : squawk!
One of the greatest choruses ever conceived by man.
+Brian Schurr Haha, i said more or less the same thing when i met Lucas. He said they gave him the instrumental track of this song and because of his awesome version they chose him.
+Kwinten Van Kersavond that's an awesome fact
Yeah they have many good choruses. Really love how it goes from the most beautiful chorus to some really sick heavy riffing and djenting hahaha
new vocals? when did this happened? im feeling lost in time
this dude is amazing
Felipe Vieira new singer yes
+Hayato what happened to the last one and when did he left! hadn't listened to the band in a couple years
Felipe Vieira Apparently the last one left because the rest of the band wanted more clean vocals (this song for example).. don't remember why.
This new vocalist is good, but Veil of Maya for me will always sound like how it did with the previous vocalist
mbavalo I prefer the old one because he had more body and power to his vocals but I respect your opinion. I think the new vocalist vocals is ok but I dont l think it goes perfectly with veil of mayas sound although they wanted clean vocals
TYLERtheMAGGOT1 Well, that's something you don't see on the internet everyday.. someone that respects the opinion of another.. lol
Anyway, I must have not communicated well since we are pretty much on the same boat. This vocalist is "ok" but I definitely prefer the previous one..
The cleans caught me off guard, they weren't at all what I expected, but they quickly grew on me! I'm loving the new direction Veil is headed in. Glad to see Marc writing badass riffs again too!
Also 0:44
I swear, whenever I'm at the gym and can't push anymore, that chorus hits and I squeeze out one or two more reps.
I'd kill to have Marc's picking hand, 1:59-2:25 is fucking ridiculous. These dudes are one of the tightest/cleanest bands out there.
For reals, I was just about to comment the same thing haha
Jake Stephen I bet he can beat off so hard
Yeah, the pinched harm here is killer.
Finally decided to listen to Veil Of Maya, really glad I picked this song its amazing!
I've never been into themes guys but the new vocals has sold me on this band.
God damn, Sam has to be one of the best Metalcore drummers in the scene! Dude has so much power behind that kit!
Has good but have you heard Chris Turner from oceans ate Alaska
Everone's bashing the clean vocals and here I am, trying to figure out if they are reffering to Attack on Titan with the name "Mikasa" :P
YES they are. "Yes nerds. I like Attack on Titan. You will really freak out when you see the rest of the song titles"- Marc Okubo's tweet
Kakeru Ken #VOMANIMETRASH2K15
***** Attack on Titan sucks.....
Kakeru Ken I wasn't sure if they were actually referring to AoT or not. But i'm glad i found out they were! Haha i can't wait to see the other titles.
VisionsofPremonition That's your opinion :P
I love that there is only one vocalist. I have seen bands where they have one doing cleans and one doing gutterals. This just shows the talent of this voclaist to have such a wide range and to be able to hit the notes perfectly.
a freaking master piece for all the metal existing on this planet!
Why is this so unbelievably fire
i will always remember this song as the song which got me into metal.
That chorus is so catchy, every time it plays I snap my fingers like a jazz guy. By far my favorite track from them, thank you 👌🏻
The level of foreshadowing of this song is insane.
i didn't understand this written in the sand stuff until like a year or two ago when the anime finally caught up far enough to the manga to explain the coordinate realm
I honestly don't see how anyone cannot like this. It has riffs that could be from any of the 3 albums and the cleans are good as well.
Lol. If Periphery was this heavy, I'd probably listen to them more.
Roran109 Then you should probably listen to some more Periphery cuz they have some of the heaviest prog shit I've ever heard. I love both bands for different reasons, but you can't even pretend that this is even close to as heavy as songs like MK Ultra or Zyglrox.
Roran109 They are sometimes.
Roran109 They are heavy as fuck in their own way and i think you're truly missing out on something great if you don't let them grown onto you :)
Listen to the first half of Omega and Hell Below man they might change your mind.
Roran109 Some songs are, some aren't.
Next song "Levi Ackerman" .
Erwin Smith better

4 Ramí This music is based on an anime character tho
still one of the catchiest choruses ever.
This song never ceases to give me goosebumps.
Love those cleans!!
The circle pit for this song when I saw them live was the perfect way to describe violence, they wrecked the crowd in a good way
*I WANT MORE OF THIS STUFFFFF. HOLY CRAAAAP*
2:10 the best breakdown ever!!!!!!!
That low to the high scream... beautiful
im liking this new periphery song
:3
yeah
+Fonz Carr same.. i
They just got done touring with periphery. And I love periphery as well. My favorite band of all time.
Lmao Periphery, love that shit.
The same style :))
This song kind of just grows on you.
Holy Danny Hauser! Love those low-end runs, arpeggios, and the echoing of Marc!
I definitely haven't kept a song on repeat as long and as often as this song
Thats right Diddo
that's what happens when you watch a lot of anime
Strabby Crabby un plFo
What
SuperSonic2324 YT This song is based off of Mikasa Ackerman from Attack on Titan, an anime
I thought so.
@@timothyrogers8769 proof? I was joking to myself that it was but if it's actually is the case then that's really cool!
Clean vocals. In VoM song. End has come.
Lol
I feel bad for all those people with V tattoos
Totally agree with you man,those cleans are horrible 😥👎
Daniel Neroese But they still got dem breakdowns
Screaming gets monotonous.
The chorus should have been a minute long "ERENNNNNNN“
wow yes AOT
*EREH*
✨ EREH✨
I agree, it should have been
EREEEEEEHH
RIP Veil of Maya, hello Periphery 2
is that a bad thing
mcaso123alt I dig it
mcaso123alt never
Still not bad, at least they re not as whiney as spencer's cleans
This is way better than Periphery
I usually don't like the cleans but to be honest the cleans are pretty catchy.. Riffs still sound pretty good
I'm sorry but this song is incredibly underrated, the riff and vocals are absolutely amazing..
Underrated...?
It has 10 million views....
@@trevorwhatever2050 Mhm, as if it was a lot for a 7 years old music. Underrated since if i ask 10.000 people if they know about it, none, or a few would know.
Damn your circle is totally different from mine then lol. This is like one of if not their best known song, and Veil of Maya is a pretty damn popular band.
Apology accepted
One of the best songs I've ever heard.
back here again after seeing Mikasa once more on AoT s4 e06
Same!
I'm back here after chapter 138!
Wow.. Came here from a "No headbanging challenge" video. Discovered this pure yet underrated masterpiece.
This is what happen when you love Mikasa too much
Huge VEIL OF MAYA fan.
I've seen em live 9 x"s since 2014.
My favorite was when they played SUMERIAN RECORD 10 YEAR TOUR w/opening band Bad Omens Erra After The Burial,, & Born Of Osiris (headlined)
what state?

As a fan since "The Common Man's Collapse" cleans were the last thing I would expect from VoM, but fuck does this sound tasty. I'm digging this new vocalist and overall sound.
***** O.o oh no I'm being Internet stalked...lol I see you like metal.....I like metal too *akward laugh*
This is at least the 248th time I've heard this song. Never gets old.
509th now.
and it remains one of the best songs
That chorus 😭❤️
its hella catchy and soulful
I love the positive reviews with a bit of change in sound, most people hate. After I heard this song the day it came out, I knew I had to see them Live. Lucas is spot on LIVE. I really cant wait for Lucas to drop a new album for us. I was a fan before, but Lucas made this a top band for sure for me. His voice is perfect
A few years have passed and im jammin and still singing along like it was released yesterday!
i love this song so much...
didnt notice i've watched it 8 million times by now
I think there's a point in every musicians career when they decide to try something new. Some evolve some devolve. You can't hate on them or call them sell outs just because they wanna make a little money doing what they love. You don't know the struggle until you've spent 10 years living out of a van, off mcdonalds pissing in water bottles on the way to the next gig. They deserve a tour bus with a shitter and this new sound is gonna get them just that. They didn't sell out, they bought in
GhostTownGrey Semantics. When you change/water down your sound to make more $$$ that's the definition of selling out.
Other bands/musicians are far less popular than VoM yet stay true to their sound.
If you're in it for the money then you're in it for the wrong reasons imo. You can tell which bands are (All That Remains) and which bands have integrity (Shadows Fall).
Sticking to your sound might not always make you that big $$$ (Shadows Fall called it quits this year) and it's the artist's decision if they want to trade their integrity for money.
However, when a band does make that choice, we as fans have the right to call them sellouts, which they are at that point.
Dystopia1980 okay, so now you would rather watch your favorite musicians work at fucking McDonald's instead of making a sound that might make them more money all because you don't like change? That's mighty selfish bud.
***** Cmon you're reaching a bit. Veil of Maya before they made this change was already pretty big and on a relatively major label. There are much less popular bands making much less money that do it for the love of the music. Spawn of Possession formed in 97 and are still making tech death, I don't see them adding cleans nor do I see them working at a McDonalds. Muhammad and Necrophagist haven't released an album in over 10 years but are probably still reaping money off continued merch sales and clout from Epitaph alone. Heaven Shall Burn, Decrepit Birth, Black Dahlia Murder, plenty of bands are doing fine without selling out, and VoM is arguably equally or more popular than all the bands mentioned.
So glad I got to see them and After the Burial and Born of Osiris and Erra and Bad Omen. Holy Hell, that was a good night! :)
Jealous
+Ami Jernigan I'm an old school dude, that thinks this is very good Modern stuff. If u had to, what genre would you put these guys in? ...I would say Metalcore/Deathcore etc...just saying...thanks 4 ur input
+Scotty J. I'd defiantly call them metal core. I've heard people call veil of maya Djent but I dont believe in making categories that narrow. it limits perception and isn't fair to the artist. Then you get fans accusing artists of "selling out" when the case is really they may try something new for the song, chorus or even an entire album. so yeah, I'd classify them as metal core.
Ami Jernigan I agree, definitely not Djent...
+Scotty J. definitely would classify them as metalcore. they are a little on the softer side for deathcore, but that's just my opinion
Para mí, Lukas Magyar es uno de los mejores representante a cuánto manejo de voces en el Metal!!!
One of my favourite songs of this Super MetalCore band! 🤘 This band is one of the best ever MetalCore bands!! Respect❤️🤘
Okay their new vocalist is way better than the original. Yeah they are appealing to a broader crowd now but that's a good thing it means more Veil Of Maya to come!
Dickeyfighter7861 Agreed. I loved some of their old songs, but some of the vocals were so monotonous that it was hard to listen to the albums in full. This gives much needed variety. One of the only songs I could listen to over and over again was We Bow In Its Aura. Musically, Ive never been disappointed by them. But vocally, I've never been impressed until now. This fits much better, and yeah.. its comparable to Periphery but this is a completely different beast altogether.
Dickeyfighter7861 that is true. The more fans the better albums to come and hey you have a kick ass vocal style.
I still would've loved to see that girl Chaney get the spot.
You are so incredibly wrong.
Mikasa from Attack on Titan?
my thoughts exactly lol
Mikasa is actually a pretty common name in Japan as well as in many other anime.
TidusIsAlive Official il kid
Mi casa es tu casa.
The lyrics suggest to me it may be an AoT reference too if I'm honest. "We survive in wretched times" and "I shall prepare myself to face a monster only I may conquer" sound like they kinda fit with the real world and the AoT world so it's very hard to say
I just figured out about this band and I fricking love them
Saw them live at swanfest last year. They had the main stage with a huge audio booth center of the crowd. They had a massive ring running around the entire center stage area during this song. Easily 2000+ people running around. Soooo much fun
Definitely going in a new direction. Hard to not like the catching Chorus's. Hell of a vocalist
Dude, this is awesome. The mix of cleans and screams is nice, some dual recording of screams and cleans together would be sick, even if it can't be accomplished live.
This is actually catchy and groovy. Looking forward to the album!
One of my best friends, who I loved dearly, turned me to this song before she passed in November of ‘21. I listen to this song and others to cherish her memory.
one of the catchiest, dopest fucking metalcore choruses of all time, ever... love it
For those who don't realise or know, this song is inspired and based on the character of 'Mikasa Ackerman' from the anime 'Attack On Titan.'
Well thats a fcking lie..
@@andrejnovikov05 the band confirmed it
@@FDReiter lukas magyar confirmed that all song names in the album are inspired by female characthers in pop culture,but never mentioned that lyrics r bout them,lukas mostly writes in an abstract way,as would mark say "I mean, I think Lukas’s lyrics are - what’s the word I’m looking for - they’re abstract enough to fit the mold."
no
An amazing tribute song for her 🙂
Mark, don't listen to these ppl! i'm your fan since 2007. until you write music - VOM is VOM! =) awesome new song, and cleans fit very well!
Crazy how this was literally like less than 20 words and will go down as the catchiest metalcore chorua.....cant get enough
