Fenris (1) is a black metal band from the Netherlands. Fenris was founded in the first winter of 1997 by Bas Westdorp and Vasco. Shortly after that, Gilbert de Rooy joined the guys as a lead-singer. The band's main objective was to make dark and atmospherical black/viking metal with a deep musical approach. In May 1997 Paul van der Zouwen took his place on the drum seat and for the first time, the four guys formed a steady and complete band. Musically, Fenris combines originality, aggression and power to create a broad black-metal repertoire. The lyrics are, among other topics, about pre-Christian beliefs, spirituality, human suffering and a sense of connection with nature and the elements. The lyrics form an important aspect within the creative cycle of the band. For its stronger cultural effect, some of the lyrics are sung in Dutch, the band's native language.
Fenris (2) Fenris is a Melodic Folk metal band from Plano, Texas formed in 2013 that pulls elements and melodies of Pagan music and combines it with the pounding force that is heavy metal. Debut album "Across the Darkened Skies" released in 2014.

Faces
Fenris Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
You know how money spent and why our countries fail us
You know the truth in every word, in every sentence
You’re getting younger when you talk with every second
Why don’t you crush the walls, make them pay, take the fall
Make the call, walk the walk
You’ve got no friends in high places
(You make me lose my)
got no friends in these places
You walk alone among faces
You are alone among these faces that surrounds you
And You thought peace was a part of our nature
So How can you explain so I can understand?
I’ve got no trust in stranger giving me a lending hand
You’ve got no friends in high places
You make me lose my patience
(You make me lose my)
got no friends in these places
You walk alone among faces
I think I’m losing my mind, I think I’m losing my ecstasy
Loosing my mind, I think I’m losing my sanity
loosing my mind, I think I’m losing my ecstasy
Loosing my mind, I think I’m losing my
You’ve got no friends in high places
You make me lose my patience mm
got no friends in these places
You walk alone among faces mm
Friends in high places
You’ve got no friends in high places
You make me lose my patience
(You make me lose my)
got no friends in these places
You walk alone among faces
You walk alone among faces
Alone among faces
You walk alone among faces
Alone among faces
You walk alone among faces
Alone among faces
You walk alone among faces
Alone among faces
The lyrics of Fenris's song "Faces" seem to explore themes of isolation, disillusionment, and a sense of disconnection from the world. The singer seems to be pleading with someone who possesses knowledge and insight about the truth of the world and its underlying layers. The lines "You know how money spent and why our countries fail us" and "You know the truth in every word, in every sentence" suggest a frustration with societal systems and a desire for someone to take action and bring about change.
The repetition of the lines "You've got no friends in high places" and "You walk alone among faces" highlights a feeling of loneliness and alienation. The singer seems to feel let down by those around them, emphasizing a lack of support from others. This sense of solitude is further emphasized by the repeated refrain, emphasizing the feeling of being alone in a crowd of faces.
The lines "I think I’m losing my mind, I think I’m losing my ecstasy" and "Loosing my mind, I think I’m losing my sanity" suggest a struggle with one's mental state and inner turmoil. The singer expresses a sense of confusion and chaos, perhaps stemming from feeling disconnected and unsupported in a world that they see as failing them.
The repeated refrain of "You walk alone among faces" towards the end of the song further underscores the theme of isolation and the feeling of being adrift in a world that may not understand or support the singer. The repetition of these lines drives home the idea of feeling alone and disconnected from those around them. Overall, the lyrics of "Faces" convey a poignant sense of alienation and internal struggle in the face of a world that may be indifferent or hostile.
