Shuttered World – Guitar Playthrough Video
From our 2020 album “Long Day Good Night”, check out our own Jim Matheos in the official guitar playthrough for “Shuttered World” also featuring a solo from Mike Abdow.
Rare live video from 1985 provided by Victor Arduini
Victor Arduini has provided a rare glimpse into the early live days of Fates Warning with this video. Here’s his description:
Back in March of 85″ Fates Warning played in Boston, Mass at a club called Celebrations.
We had some new songs that wanted to try out amongst the songs we were still playing from Night On Broken.
This tape was filmed by an employee who had it streaming on TV’s in the room (you’ll see them in The Calling). I asked if he’d record our set which he did. For $20 I got probably the only decent video from our time together. Unfortunately is has sat in my closet for almost 28 years. Reason….. the tape had no audio. I used a bit of it to create a video for Damnation (which is not here in it’s entirely). But Steve Zimmerman found the cassette audio (which I recorded at the show) and I made the painstaking attempt to sync it together. Issues arose immediately. First the audio was not at same speed of video and secondly the show was not captured on video in it’s entirely as he started a few songs in and paused for a few more during the show. The video you see is all there is. I did my best to line it up and correct the speed (trick… listen to band tuning up and I adjusted until tape was in the correct key). Sorry about the weird video angles and intense motion. Not sure what he was thinking.
Also the crowd talking. (mics must have been in area)
I hope all the fans of Fates enjoy this very rare and never before seen (except for the band) video of the original Fates Warning that started it all.

LYRICS:
Forget the stars above you
Forget the ties that hold you
I confess
Time flows so slowly
When you’re holding on to broken memories
Push aside regret
And now the night is falling
That darkness comes from within
Forget the lies they told you
Forget the skies above you
Just leave the miles behind you
One day the truth will find you
I confess
The past is gone, it’s over
Though the harm is done
Nothing lasts forever, not the stars and sun
And now the night is falling
That darkness comes from within
And now the night is calling
And you begin again
Oh, lamenting all those yesterdays
And pretending that the world would change, it goes on
And even though I know you’ve waited so long
You never thought it would end like this
And now the night is falling
That darkness comes from within
And now the night is calling
And you begin again

Now Comes The Rain (Official Lyric Video)
Now Comes the Rain -Lyrics-
Underneath that pale moon is where you discovered
That sometimes we have to lose to win
It’s a shame you never knew, sit there disillusioned
And oh, how the mighty fall now, we learn from our mistakes
(I would laugh aloud) One hand washes the other
(Dare the clouds) The fire comes from a spark
(To drop the rain on down) The thunder is far away still
(This will end somehow) But now here comes the rain
Now comes the rain
Why pour salt into the wound?
Better heal than suffer
Alone with the stars above you
Now silently you wave
(I would laugh aloud) One hand washes the other
(Dare the clouds) The fire comes from a spark
(To drop the rain on down) The thunder is far away still
(This will end somehow) But now here comes the rain
Now comes the rain
Now comes the rain
And through the change
We still remain
After the rain
I wonder if you’ve ever felt this stage of doubt
Has reached its apogee
Just take away the memory and live without
Those feelings atrophy
(I would laugh aloud) One hand washes the other
(Dare the clouds) The fire comes from a spark
(To drop the rain on down) The thunder is far away now
(This will end somehow) But now comes the rain
Now comes the rain
And we remain
And we remain
After the rain

Scars (Official Video)
FATES WARNING – Scars (Official Video). Taken from the album “Long Day Good Night”
SCARS – Lyrics
I stand above the smoking ruins
I can pick up the pieces again
I won’t pretend there is no end
To what we learn from spite
Avoiding the hurdles throughout all the wreckage
Desolate world all that’s left
And trying to hide all the scars that come
Along with the mission
I stand above the smoking ruins
I can pick up the pieces again
I’m afraid that mercy will soon turn to vengeance
Left there forsaken
And when you’re walking alone there where shadows fall
I will come for you then
I stand above the smoking ruins
I can pick up the pieces again
We all wander
With our heavy hearts disguised
As a monster, the most fragile kind
Afraid to close our eyes
Oh, am I broken?
Oh, have I sunk so deep inside?
Like falling backwards into empty space
And out the other side
I stand above the smoking ruins
I can pick up the pieces again
