Trillium — Coward (Official Video)

Beautiful voice, beautiful track.
Lyrics:
The basic concept of truth seems to evade you
But I am here to set it right
I will not squander my faith
On fading, failing illusions
Longing will not rule my fate
Derailing, ailing...

Conjure storms, I'll take my chances
For I know that justice will come dance upon your grave
You coward

Parading secrets you steal
Instilling, willing confusion
Playing the part as you feel
Fulfilling, killing...

Cast your stones, I'll take my chances
For I know that
Justice comes to dance upon the graves of cowards

Red skies and diamond blades
Dead nights and minds ablaze

Tenacious racing toward a checkmate
And you know I'm right
No gracious winner in that game
And the noose is tight
Fed lies, a common rage
It's martial law to advocate
No partial call could bear the weight

Though foresworn, you take your chances
You should know that soon there will be no one left to save you
Show your scorn, I'll take my chances
For I know that justice will come spit into your brain
You coward...

Amanda has an amazing voice..

Nueva diva redescubierta, me encanta su voz 😍

In my dreams I have Amanda as singer in my band... after I wake up and all vanishes...!!

nice and beautifull song

This song have an ideal form patern for a new black metal cover!

Когда услышала песню, подумала, что After Forever... Очень похож вокал... Да и музыка... Типаж Флор.

Dreadful music! But Amanda can definitelty sing & her voice isn't as irritating or forced as Tarja's.

pq um cabelo é um cabelo, uma voz é uma voz e um peito é um peito . beautiful Amandinha , beautiful voice, woman, you're perfect <3

Fantastic

хорошее видио. голос отличный.

ive seen these live ,,excellent performance and an awesome voice !!

que guen roleo lml

голос и внешность супер,вот бы ей кто-то подогнал таких хитов как у epica....было бы вообще супер

You Tube .Gotta Give it up ay?

Awesome!

i love Amanda, i wish she was in more solid bands, too much guesting and backing

nice chick, i would bang bang

discovered Trillium yesterday as first part of the concert of Anneke van giersbergen in Paris...amazing voice and charism on stage, electrizing, good tunes, perfect performance : conquished, a very good surprise...they deserve a far better aknowledgement :-)

Exelente cancion !!!

this is epic, she should be known more as a lead singer of a band, not just a vocal coach. her voice is amazing and the music is as good as any other typical bands in this genre

She is awesome :D !!! i love her song "searching" ;)

And Avantasia:D

linda amanda

Andre Matos, The BoyScouts, Asrai... etc., etc... Long list! She's more than "the blond girl in Epica's videos..."

Amanda is one of the most beautiful women ever

Amanda Somerville has been Simone's vocal coach, among many other projects as composer, producer, vocalist, director, even book writer. She has been in projetcts/bands as Avantasia (now touring), Kamelot, After Forever, Edguy, Aina, HDK, Michael Kiske, Docker's Guild, Mob Rules, Virgo, Shaman, Luca Turilli, Serenity, Sebastien, MaYan, PelleK, DesDemon and of course, Trillium, her own band, plus 4 solist albums. Sorry if I forgot to mention other musical project (AH! Amadeus Awad's EON)

because she is :)

I don't think anyone recognizes how different her vocal compositions are from most of the other symphonic bands. The closest, in my estimation, is probably Krypteria, and even that is a tenuous comparison. She uses the full capacity of her voice, and brings into the mix a certain--I have to say--R&B or soul element. When they laid this album down she instantly became one of my favorite vocalists--joining the ranks of those who've already been mentioned here, as well as those who haven't.

I think it is rather weird the fact that Amanda helps Simone, Floor, and others that I hear of with lyrics and singing. But yet in my opinion, Amanda's music is mediocre at best. Her voice shines and the melodies are great, but it just feels like there is something terribly missing in her songs.

Awesome song! Both vocals and melody are well performed!

I think it shows how she has been a vocal coach to Simone Simons. Even the way they pronounce the words, the technique, is very similar. Her voice sounds like a more mature version of Simone's voice. I remember when she sang with Epica, I had a hard time missing Simone vocally.

she is the siren of my dreams!

im not a coward, but i dont know what scares me more, her angelic looks or her angelic voice? either way i would love to live in her realm!

look more cowards still coming....now 19 hhhhhh

Not only Epica. She has also worked with After Forever, Avantasia and Kamelot. It's nice to finally see her as a main vocalist :)

Amanda is ms. AVANTASIA!

I love her as a singer, but this song is nothing special, really. Only thing what is interesting here is her vocals.

buen tema!!

nothing special but not bad either

Saw Amanda with Trillium supporting Magnum in S'ton, i'd never heard of them,it's not really my type of rock,but they were pretty good;hence why i'm looking at this.All good players & she's got pretty good stage presence!

Damn I love this song, I'd give anything to play guitar for Amanda!

873 are cowards.. :)

That's what you have with symphonic metal.. That's why it is put under a genre

She's a very good singer.

The point they're trying to get across at s that this style of singing has been heard, e.g. Evanescence, Lacuna Coil, Epica, etc.

Can no one here spell correctly? There are many serious comments with some quite funny spelling errors.

I want to look like her.

I just got it... :-)

Great song...Amanda vocals are beautiful...as for Evanescence...lol who the fuck are they? They fell off the musical landscape here in North America years ago...lol wow get over it...

Ah, of course it is. Amanda sings way better than Ammy Lee. But I still find this music's style pretty similar to Evanescence.

HELL NO! Trillium is sooooooooooooooooooooooo much better than Evanescence

You coward....

She's the best female singer :) I love her ... She is a very big Idol :)

... and now she finally has her own band too. It was *about time*. She can sing damn well, and yet she only gets like 3% recognition she deserves. Hope it changes.

Me gustaría cantarle a alguien esta canción...

the good thing she had her own group............not to be biased with epica........love her voice

She's extremely talented, not to say she's so beautiful and expressive... And she's funny too!! =)

where was this video made

I think Epica and all the big bands(With Temptation, Delain, Leaves' Eyes, Nightwish, and Revamp/After Forever) have some new competition. These guys are O-mazing!

she was her lyric coach and that was only on two albums (Invisible Circles and Remagine)
she is Simone's vocal coach

Her voice and singing style there sounds SOOOOOOOO MUCH like Floor's. No doubt she is Floor vocal's coach lol

Simone never took singing lessons from Amanda. Amanda is only helping her writing the vocal lines in some Epica songs.
good song btw!

Think this is good?...Check out Kiske/Sommerville duet CD and Avantasia...This woman SMOKES ALL female lead singers !!!! \m/

I love the sound of this song in the beginning, but cant stand the voice

INCREIBLEEEEEEEEEEE AMANDA SOS LA MEJOR

Good job Amanda! :D

I met Amanda in Manchester when they were supporting Delain. Most nerve wracking moment of my life!

Good Performance!

me too dude! i saw her in manchester, she was so cool and down to earth.

she looks old on this vid,,,still awesome though

YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL, AND ULTRA MAGNIFICENTLY STUNNING

yeah... Amanda, thank you for your music and your voice :-)

yeah, she was Simone's personal teacher

Love the way she goes 'YOU COWARD!'

I saw her live, and she game her signature. I'm so happy <3

Sascha Paeth fucking rules! I remember him from his playing in the band Heavens Gate. Check it out. really a great band ^.^

Yep.Just checked it.That´s her.

Wait a minute... Isn't she one of the vocalists in Epica's Cry For The Moon video (as well as other studio videos for the other songs of the same album)??
Her wiki says she worked with Epica and she definitely looks like the blond vocalist of the videos.

Amazing. utterly amazing. Allwe need now is an Amanda leaked sex tape and I will die a happy man : 0

Damn, she can sing, at first I heard an resemblance with Floor Jansen, but she is very good. Well, anything that resembles Floor Jansen has to be very good. Nice band!

I know a guy just like this.

Hello everybody! If you like EVANESCENCE support them in this contest please! :) mtv.com/content/news/2012/musi­cal_march_madness_2012/matches­/mmm_2012_rnd5_mtch2.jhtml *thanks*

Not only is Amanda hot but she also has an amazing voice.

Brilliant

*_*

She's epiiiiiiiic! love it

I've always enjoyed Amanda's contribution to Epica, so glad to see her with her own band. She sounds great and looks really beautiful here.

I'm in love xD

Daan is a coward. Cuz he sucks at UFC 3 & Fifa Street 4 A.K.A MI-AUW !

holy crap shes scary lolz

@CyrilViXP Thats one word :P

Oooh my love (L) *_*

Wow....her voice is a cute combination of Tarja and Simone Simons (old style)
And I like the music, kinda dramatic....very good....I like alot :)

@Stellarka14 Exactly, vocals are awesome but lyrics are not fitting each other properly. And except vocals there's nothing to boast about

AMANDA SOMERVILLE IS AMAZING <3

Gosto ^^

Lov it :)

Great Album!!

Божественно!.. :-)
