LYRICS
Pride and honor - Passion, love, and faith
Belief to your own spirit - This is your father’s saying
Spread your wings and fly - Fly to the edge of a dream
Be yourself and rise - Rise, reborn, and scream
Echoes strike my head, whispers torment my ears
Father you may gone, your voice is still here
So near...
Like father, like son
Ride like the wind, die like a hero
Fight respect and go, from zero to a hero
See the mirror…
Like father, like son
Pride and honor - Passion, love, and faith
Belief to your own spirit - This is your father’s saying
Spread your wings and fly, meet the edge of your dream
Stay true and fight, this is your father’s wish
As a Greek who lived in Iceland and whose favorite band is Rotting Christ this is too intense.
This is really excellent!
Πωωω ρε φίλε, όνειρο ζωής να μείνω σε Ισλανδία
Да не слишком , есть тяжелее
Greeks can not survive on Iceland
Hail brother🤟🤟

Αθήνα 1994 .Ζητάω απο τον πατέρα μου χαρτζιλίκι για να αγοράσω ένα cd . Κατεβαίνω στο κέντρο της Αθήνας , αξέχαστα θυμάμαι τον φόβο μου μή χάσω τα χρήματα και τα έχω κρύψει μέσα απο τις κάλτσες μου . Φτάνω στην Ακαδημίας , εκεί που είχε ενα δισκάδικο στον πρώτο ή δευτερο όροφο ο M.V.Daoloth. Μπαίνω μέσα και αγοράζω το Heaven & Hell των Black Sabbath. Δύο χιλιάρικα είχα όλα και όλα αξέχαστα. Στα ηχεία παίζει το Non Serviam που μόλις είχε κυκλοφορήσει και κολλάω . Η αγορά του cd κράτησε πολύ λίγη ώρα αλλα εγω έμεινα στο δισκάδικο μέχρι να τελειώσει το άλμπουμ. Σου αρέσει μου λέει ? Του λέω πολύ ! Μου βάζει ενα τσαντάκι με το Heaven & Hell και βάζει μέσα και μία κόπια απο το Non Serviam. Δέν έχω άλλα χρήματα του λέω .. Δε πειράζει φιλαράκι, στο κάνω δώρο. Πέρασαν πολλά χρόνια απο τότε , είδα τη μπάντα ζωντανά πάμπολλες φορές και παρακολουθώ τη δισκογραφία τους έκτοτε. Πέρασαν 30 χρόνια και η πιο δυνατή στιγμή που ένιωσα απο τη μπάντα ήταν φέτος , στο τελείωμα του βιντεοκλίπ , τη στιγμή που ο πεντάχρονος γιός μου το είδε και μου είπε , μπαμπά θέλω να μαστε και εμείς έτσι πάντα αγκαλιά ! Σάκη έχεις αγγίξει όλα αυτα τα χρόνια με τη μουσική σου , πολύ περισσότερους ανθρώπους απο όσο φαντάζεσαι ! Μάγκες να στε καλά , ευχαριστώ !
συγκινητικο, ΤΟΥΛΑΧΙΣΤΟΝ.
μαλλον ετυχε να διαβασω το σχολιο την ωρα που κοβω κρεμμυδια . συγκινητικό για πολλους λογους αυτο το σχολιο και συναισθηματικα κραταει μεγαλειο φορτιο και νομιζω πολλοι μπορουν να ταυτιστουν .
Πολλά πολλά respect 🙏🙏🙏
Exelente historia saludos desde Guadalajara Amigo 🤘🏻
Και κλάμα η κυρία ❤️ Από μάνα Μεταλ ,σε γιο ..που πλέον είμαστε Αυστραλία … έχω να πω… πως η RC έδωσαν κουράγιο στο παιδί μου στιγμές που δεν είχε . Τους είδε περσυ διακοπές στην Ελλάδα κ πάλι φέτος στην Αδελαιδα . Μεγάλη αγάπη ❤️❤️❤️
🔥 I'm not a son, im a daughter, but i can't stop listening to this song! And my father is the best father all over the world!
I feel u
Great keep it going ! :)
Christ lives😊and he will returns
My father passed away 30 days ago, this is a very moving and motivational song to me. Thank you RC
Sorry for your lost. Mine was passed away 8 monts ago and still hurts. RIP all of them.
Rest in Peace 🙏
I'm 46. Mine passed away when I was 17. It still hurts and I still walk around feeling liek a piece of me is missing. You keep going on without them, but still they are never far away. Mom passed in 2018, I was closer to her... and it hurt me so badly it nearly destroyed me. We keep going so someone will sing their songs, until it is our turn to be sung about and remembered fondly, hopefully.
As a father of 9 year old boy in 2024, this song resonates with me with such a strong force that it made me weep! and for that I thank you!
womp womp
I'm a father of an 8yr old boy and Im having the same reaction to this 🙌
I'm a father too, two kids: 5 an 2 year old. And I've kept Rotting Christ close to me for a long time now, this song hits harder than a hammer in a forge.
Ladies and Gentlemen - The amazing Rotting Christ!!! Love you guys! Cheers from Bulgaria!🎉❤
Non Serviam 🖤🤘🏻🇮🇹

Cheers to you too, neighbor
Rotting Christ: the band that stigmatized my soul forever.
Well, they are not THAT bad
@@yuradura959 stigmatized with the good way of course
Then you n I have a stigmata...lol. tbh I think stigmata is real despite my hate of all Abrahamic religions.
I am a tough metal guy. I am not holding back a tear. This is my metal face. I swear.
"Stay true and fight, this is your father’s wish... " Ancient spirit is alive!
Beautiful soulful song. A mother's love for her son is only matched by the father's love and devoted bond to his son. Rotting Christ is epic on a whole other level of musically composed talented genius🤘For my man who thought he would never have any children, it was my honor and privilege to carry and bear our son. Seeing the bond they have is priceless, warms my heart, fills my soul. The video was an amazing composition to the song❤🔥❤🔥
Hope someone makes songs telling those stories of mothers and the sacrifices they make for their children. Peace and love.
😭
@@stevenwestfall7638 Thank you for the kindness💜 If you like check out Chaoseum-Until The End music video. The artist wrote it for his grandmother. The video is heartfelt, especially the scene of the lady dancing with the boy. I do the same with my son. I would lay my life down for my boy. Many blessings to you and your family.

My cat has just listened this song and suddenly transformed into tiger!!!! All hails RC!!!🤘🤘🤘
Very melodic.. great production quality.. just beautiful Sakis 2010: Fire, death and fear Sakis 2024: Passion, love and faith I truly like the diversity and evolution of this band. It screams "Be true to your own spirit" and is so fucking inspiring to see. Thank you Sakis, thank you Themis and everyone involved in this great journey and I hope to meet you one day
you will surely enjoy every fucking second when you finally meet them ..They are true and humble persons ..Hope it wont be late to happen my friend !
I love how they went from citing the Bible in their older material to basically becoming a Viking metal band. Unless, this song is just an outlier.
Again and again and again ... Sakis Tolis didn't disapoint me! A soulful song, so deep. It's not about to be speed, but to be dense and dark. This album will be great.
This wasn't that dark, though.
Dense. Dark. Those are the words I was looking for. After the first listening ... not great, not terrible. But after two more it started to sink into my mind. Not a headbanger, but it will stay with me forever. Rotting Christ keeps the spirit alive \m/
It's the same feeling here. Greetings from Brazil! 👊👊👊
@@DiegoTaylor-Uzumaki It's also dreadfully dull, like the band's been losing steam these last few years.
@@Transilvanian90 Agree, and it seems like fans forgive everything only because they are classic bands.
Rotting Christ never misses a beat!!!🤘🏻🔥😈 Greetings from Finland 🇫🇮
Καριολακια 35 χρόνια και ακόμη πονάει το μυαλό μου. Μπράβο στους τύπους που δεν μεγαλώνουν αλλά ωριμάζουν και μαζί τους και μεις.

More likely mature....
Great work 🤟😎🤟 From RUSSIA WITH LOVE ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The Rotting Christ's music is much more then music for me for many years already. Atmosphere of songs is so tight like you can touch it. Maybe mr. Sakis Tollis talks a lot against the church, but he is the very spiritual person at the same time. Everytime my spirit is rising while I listening his songs. It's some kind of musical prayer for me! Thank you, mr. Tolis for making our lives a little bit better in this dark world!
Yes that's the beauty about faith and belief.
Eso es porque te hace meditar , te llega dentro
Yo como no entiendo la letra pues solo lo escucho
this song is the exact words i need to hear from my father when i'm down on my knees. it's like he is talking to me from above. thanks for the courage you offer Rotting Christ!
This song is truly inspiring. Thank you Rotting Christ for this masterpiece. Having had a "father" that caused me many, many traumatizing events, I can't really relate to what it is to have a living and caring father but I can understand its importance. One man stepped up to the plate though when I turned 13; my mom's husband of 30 years being together. Everything I know today that is good comes from him. He saved my life many times in the past. Johnny, if your reading this, I dedicate this song to you. Thank you for being you. I might never had a real father but you are damn well better than any father I could've expected. This song is my hommage to him, to Johnny, thank you for believing in me. Today, I'm in my mid 40's and all I can say is that everything I know that is good comes from him. I'm a better man and father cause of him. Skåll!

Beautiful, powerful song. Rotting Christ are one of those bands who simply never disappoint. Hail from the US. 🇺🇸
Rotting Christ thank you for this atmospheric song... It reminds me of my dad... What exactly he wanted for me... It makes me cry! Ευχαριστω παλικαρια!

Wonderful song, like always!! Rotting Christ always making us proud to enjoy a band with the true passion of Metal! Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷🇬🇷🤘🏻🤘🏻 Non Serviam
eargasm riff 💪
I discovered Rotting Christ when I read an article about heavy metal covers that the writer thought were incredible. The band appeared in this article, the album and cover chosen was Triachy of Lost Lovers (original cover). When I saw this cover, I loved the very dark look of it, so at the time I decided to search for the album here on KZhead. Then I heard the first track "King of a Stellar War" and from then on I became an unconditional fan. Greetings from Portugal 🟢🟢🔴🔴🤘🤘
Τι κομματάρα είναι αυτή το φελέκι μου μέσα; Πουτάνα όλα!!!🤘❤️🤘 Απίστευτη μελωδία και επικούρα!
Much Love from USA 🇺🇸 ❤ 🇬🇷
Quorthon loved this
This feels like being a teen in the 90s again
It's a very nice song but now i miss the old RC so much too.. for example a dead poem, khronos… old times and albums. Of course, we are looking forward to the new album. Rotting forever!
Rotting Christ back in the days were unique. Now it's usual commercial metal band.
Συμφωνώ μαζί σου Μας λείπουν οι παλιοί RC
Greatest Song ! Congratulations from Russia
Listening on replay! Anyone else?!?!?!?!?
Of course. NoN SERVIAM till the end 🤘
When there was an earthquake in Türkiye in 1999. Big-hearted group who came to the concert free of charge to help without hesitation
Hail from Greece 🤘
Wish I had a dad like that. Mine took off when I was 8 and was raised by a resentful mother.
I"ve been listening to this song for a few days now and love it, but only now I read the lyrics and I'm crying. This is my new love letter to my late father who I miss deeply ❤
Deeply emotional I found yesterday Although a daughter i am in awe feom the pearcing power flow from this song Music have no birders buy i am greek and proud for this song Thank you ❤
Παρόλα που δεν είμαι black metalas hail sister ♥

Important theme, more so in these crazy times. A father is so important in growing up healthy (no need to be flesh and blood). A strong but loving guide, sometimes life hits utterly hard, but he will help you stand up and keep going because he learned the hard lessons before you. I know these are just romantic thoughts, but I am sure the old ways of family, to honor and respect your father AND mother (who is the core of any family/tribe since the dawn of time) is still important, much more in these crazy times as we live in.
"It is not flesh and blood, but heart which makes us fathers and sons"
Im getting chills :)))
I call it Ambient Metal. Just magnificent.. 🤘
i call it rotting christ unique sound
Μουσική που ακουμπά την ψυχή! ❤🔥
Rejoice brothers. Non serviam. Like father like son.
Hugs from México Amigos !! Thank your for your shows in México !!!!
I'm raising my son to be a better man than me. As fathers, it is our duty to raise men. Anything less and we have failed our sons. Here are the lyrics. Pride and honor, passion, love and faith Belief to your own spirit, this is your father's saying Spread your wings and fly, fly to the edge of a dream Be yourself and rise, rise, reborn, and scream Echoes strike my head, whispers torment my ears Father, you may gone, your voice is still here So near Like father, like son Ride like the wind, die like a hero Fight, respect and go, from zero to a hero See the mirror Like father, like son Pride and honor, passion, love and faith Belief to your own spirit, this is your father's saying Spread your wings and fly, meet the edge of your dream Stay true and fight, this is your father's wish
It's our duty to raise adults that can think and act independently. It is also a big part of daughters' lives to have a proper and stable father figure to show her what a good man is - let us never forget this. Godspeed and love to all you fathers out there.
Breeding is Jewish.
This was heavy duty metaphysical experience I love how it sounds "Greek" at some moments ❤
thank you
@xa7207 well spoken
Rotting Christ always delivers epic riffs, melodic tunes and they are the greatest black metal band ever 🤘🏽
As a father who is fighting with all of his might to be in their sons lives, but their mothers unfairly prevent it, this hit me like a freight train and has me in tears. Absolutely beautiful
A new RC song, a new riff to get stuck in my head for the next few weeks, easily. Just incredible as always, can't wait for the album!
me too, already the melodies stuck in my head, the conception of sakis its unbelievable
Ανατριχίλα.. Δεν υπάρχουν λόγια..Μας κάνετε περήφανους ρε παιδιά..!! 🤘🇬🇷
Can't stop listening this masterpiece, addicted with RC music 🔥🎸
this video deverves a movie,so beautiful tale.
I agree while heartily
Fantastic song! Beautiful melody and great lyrics! Brings tears to my eyes when I listen to it. Makes me think about how my father supports me through a difficult time in my life at the moment, which has brought us closer, and also inspires me to be a better father to my son. Themis and Sakis, you are welcome back to Helsingborg any time! Keep the good conversation going. Μπράβο παιδιά, φανταστικό! / Daniel
Perfect production, epic, gothic, dark, a touch of the end 90s Rotting Christ. But again very fresh and modern. Thank you RC!
Spread your wings and fly, meet the edge of your dream Stay true and fight, this is your father's wish!!! HAIL Rotting Christ!!!
A friend of mine in my 16 gave me to listen to Khronos album... I felt in love.. I later bought Sanctus Diavolos, an album i heard hundred of times.. So many years later and these guys keep impressing me.. Σας ευχαριστώ παίδες για όλα αυτά τα χρόνια
My personal best RC song so far. It is just so simple, but powerful, sounds massive, gives me gossebumps every time i hear it. And that i have a son makes it so much stronger.
SOULFUL. DEEP. MATURE. Master Sakis got us to the NEW level of his evolution in Metal! HAILS 🖤🖤🖤🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hatalmas tisztelet! Köszönöm!⚔️ Full respect! Thanx! Wunderbar. Vielen Dank! ⚔️
This is simply too epic

Beautiful video, great epic song, therapeutic harmonies, great lyrics!!!!
An amazing music video coming from an amazing band , hail from IL, USA 🇺🇸 stay dark ,stay metal \m/
sakis is to metal what oxygen is to life. metal was invented so we could have his voice.
It's been 9 years without my father. I became a father figure for my younger brother, who was 16 at the time... I still miss my old man. Best song to remember him
these riffs are legendary, can't wait for the new album. thank you rotting christ. cheers from America 🇺🇸
Let's go for half a million listenings👍🔥🔥🔥🎶🎶
I will pay tribute to my ancestors by inheriting the flame of wisdom to my beloved son so that he may advance without setbacks in the blackest night of existence.
looooooooooooooool gay
I was moved by this song
The best band! Great track!!! Greetings from Russia with love!!!

This kind of feels like a soul succession to Viking era Bathory.
All Hail Rotting Christ!! Can't wait for the new Album to come!! 💀🖤🤘💀🖤🤘
Purest form of emotion🖤
epic! no other words needed!
Once again RC delivered a masterpiece.
Hezký večer. Jedním slovem perfektní!!! Zdravím Vás z České Republiky a doufám že Vás zde brzy uvidím.......
The message is very deep to every one of us, every one should be proud of his father, I didn't realize what he did for me until I got 40 years old, I live with his guidance it's something greater than love between a father and son
They've changed a lot over the years but Rotting Christ has not once disappointed me. Going from Triarchy Of The Lost Lovers I was actually just listening to and now listening to Like Father, Like Son... both killer pieces of music.
im sure this album will be great, love from Turkiye
Pure METAL delivered from the Fathers of Hellenic Black Metal to the Sons of Hell🤘🔥
Sons of Hades😉🇬🇷
I used to come here for metal.. Now I'll be coming here for advice 😄Since "Among The Fires of Hell" I can feel the message being delivered
Ωραιος ήχος, όλα ωραία, αλλά δεν το λες κ black metal... Όπως τα 5 πρωτα άλμπουμ.... Υπάρχει στροφή σε epic/heavy....παραολα αυτά παντα θα'ναι οι δικοί μας θεοί... Αν κ Ήλπιζα σε κάτι από ελληνικό ατόφιο black metal... 🤘💀🖤🕯
This new album seems to be one of the RC strongest ever. Amazing song, made me think about my father and my daughter, also Master's Sword. Thank you Sakis for this kind of beautiful feeling.
Hail Rotting Christ keeping the old school Metal alive!
