Reaction to Avatar’s “A Statue of The King”

Lyrics

On this glorious day, we're all citizen
By all your warrior's names, we swear diligence
Lay the first stone, we lay at your feet
All the world trembles, begs and flees

Everybody wants one, everybody needs one
Everybody heard the word, it's a sign
Well, no one else can make one, if you're the one to take one
But I know that you know
You know that I don't lie

Everybody wants one, everybody needs one
But they don't grab a stone, the rocks, the box
So they can own your sword, but we don't wanna share one
We have worked so hard, so hard, alone

Harder than steel is my king's will

Emissaries, dignitaries, ladies and gentlemen
My beloved citizens
It is time to ignite the mighty flame of the royal beacon
And then unveil the statue of our ruler
We celebrate, we built a statue of the king

Bigger than the last one, bigger than the best one
Bigger than the tracks we drag to these trains
There's nothing to compare to, no one can prepare you
But I know that you know, you know that I don't lie

Stronger than the last one, bigger than the best one
Make it from the stone and rocks and moss
So you can try to make one 'cause we ain't gonna show one
We all worked so hard, so hard, so hard

Emissaries, dignitaries, ladies and gentlemen
My beloved citizens
It is time to ignite the mighty flame of the royal beacon
And then unveil the statue of our ruler
We celebrate, we've built a statue of the king

Harder than steel is my king's will

Emissaries, dignitaries, ladies and gentlemen
My beloved citizens
It is time to ignite the mighty flame of the royal beacon
And then unveil the statue of our ruler
We celebrate, we've built a statue of the king

A comment on the video stood out with some great extra details, check out what “@Ginger_Monster” wrote.

They are very consistent in their work. It was the very first clip of the King era, but at the same time it is the epilogue of their featurette Legend of Avatar Country: A Metal Odyssey, which was filmed November, 21 – December, 20 2018 (for 24 days in 12-19 hour HEAVY work days, 1 day-off). Рost-production finished October 6 2019. Released at their official site November, 22 2019, put in Youtube March, 5 2020.
A Statue of the King shot back to back with The King Wants You in 2017. In The King Wants You was father, mother and son, in Statue only father and son.😢
Hail the Apocalypse is the reference to same video.😄 The girl from crowd will become the guard in Dance Devil Dance (2022).😁 Helicopter pilot is their make up artist Emma Falkensjö, work with them since Smells like a Freakshow video and still.🤗

Speaking about royalty waving… Seventh album is based on the inner joke of the band that Jonas is the king. In 2011, Jonas changed his Facebook name to Kungen (Кing in Swedish) and told them to address him that way. Such a time-killing humor on the road – he enters, waving his hand royally like the Queen of Britain, everyone in the band praises him. Or he gave everyone signed photos of himself. 😂😂😂Yep, this small detail have a long story.
