Friends!
The first song from Seventh Wonder's new album is out!
It's simply VICTORIOUS!

The official release date for 'Tiara' is: October 12th, 2018.
TIARA will be released on CD as well as a double vinyl LP. Some special limited bundles will be made available through Frontier’s webstore (see link at the bottom).

The tracklist for the new concept album is as follows:
1. Arrival
2. The Everones
3. Dream Machines
4. Against The Grain
5. Victorious
6. Tiara's Song (Farewell Pt. 1)
7. Goodnight (Farewell Pt. 2)
8. Beyond Today (Farewell Pt. 3)
9. The Truth
10. By The Light Of The Funeral Pyres
11. Damnation Below
12. Procession
13. Exhale

This is the first studio album to feature Stefan Norgren on drums, who had this to say about the song released today:
“This was originally a pretty cool keyboard riff that got intertwined with that opening guitar part to create a really nice dual riff of sorts. It has a ton of sweet rhythmic patterns that are loads of fun to play. When I first heard it with Tommy's stuff on it, it really blew my mind!”

Andreas Blomqvist also speaks about the new song:
“Victorious was the first song on the album that was completed. It wasn’t written first, but it was the first one we sat down and wrote the lyrics for, so it is special to us. I am thrilled to finally be able to share a song off of Tiara with you!”
He adds:
“Probably half of the songs on TIARA sound like what you are all used to, and maybe about half contains some new flavors”.

It's really a victorious tune. Pure magic.
I knew it well that the new album would have come out someday between Kamelot's european and japanese tour.
 
Hi guys!
I thought I'd try to complete the lyrics for "Victorious".
Even though they are incomplete, the lyrics give some insight into what the album is about, especially the role of the girl from the album cover.
Some parts I simply could not form into sentences, and have left for others to fill out. I've also marked parts with "?" that I am very unsure of and that are most likely wrong.
Feel free to help out wherever possible, it would be interesting to hear others' interpretations.

Seventh Wonder - Victorious (Lyrics so far):

Verse:
One man to sail the oceans
One man to leave the ground behind
Deep down we strive to be more than we are
Tamed the fire and the world was ours
We built it up/all reaching for the heavens
?A pyre('s)? known/Upon stones to stand the test of time - One track off the album is titled "By The Light of The Funeral Pyres", which is what I believe is referenced here.
We brought light to shame/shape the sun
And we always found a way

Pre-Chorus:
I dont care, if you dont care
'Cause our dreams have always taken us where
Amazing fantasies become today's realities

Chorus:
We will be victorious
In the blink of an eye we set to the sky
We'll be glorious, victorious we rise
Cause we're gonna ?? be ??
Won't stop till we are victorious

Verse 2:
One man to split the atom
One man to tread another world
Inside, we know that we have what it takes
Faster, stronger, higher than before

The spoken word
Then ink and paper
Spelling beauty for eyes and ears
All this when we stand together
When we stand as one

Pre-Chorus 2:
And I dont care, if you dont care
Cause our dreams have always taken us where
Amazing fantasies become today's realities

Chorus 2:
We will be victorious
In the blink of an eye we set to the sky
We'll be glorious, victorious
Somehow we'll rise to the challenge

Bridge: From now on the lyrics shift in focus. They start to revolve around a girl, likely the one seen on the album cover.
Apparently she is special and thus sent off into space to sway someones mind, probably another civilization.


The fate out smiles
Confidence is fleeting
Embrace this plight/lifeform/blightfall
(Her?) And yield before the fire
Understand this time we cannot make it alone
Our failure is forever
Through wind and rain
Pushing through the masses
When against the grain
As she opened up our eyes for us to see
Crying out an angel to reveal her mystery

Bridge Cont.:
A saviour in the dark
I know she can sway their minds
Promise she will never let us down
Of course she will defend our way of life

Chorus 3:
Here we stand before the world
The solution is simple
The answer is her
We'll send one of us
For all of us
To ?ensure? that our voice will be heard

Chorus 4 (key-change): There is a suddle change of subjects here, shifting from we to she, which makes a huge difference for the story.
We will be victorious
In the blink of an eye
She was sent to the sky
We'll be glorious
Victorious we rise
Yes, we're gonna be victorious

One man
To sail the oceans
One man
To leave the ground behind
Deep down
We strive to be more than we are
Tamed the fire and the world was ours
We built the earth
Reaching for the heavens
A part of us knows to stand the test of time
We brought light
To shame the sun
And we always found a way

And I don't care
If you don't care
Cause our dreams have always
Taken us where amazing fantasies
Become today's realities

We will be victorious
In the blink of an eye
We' re sent to the sky
We'll be glorious
Victorious we rise
Cause we're gonna be worth something
We are victorious

One man to split the atom
One man to tread another world
Inside we know that we have
what it takes
Faster stronger higher than before
The spoken word
The ink on paper
Spelling beauty for months and years
All this when we stand together
When we stand as one

I don't care
If you don't care
Cause our dreams
Have always taken us where amazing fantasies
Become today's realities

We will be victorious
In the blink of an eye
We are sent to the sky
We'll be glorious
Victorious
Somehow we'll rise to the challenge


With fade out smiles
Confidence is fleeting
Embrace this life
And yield before the fire of the stands
This time we cannot make it alone
Our failure is forever
Through wind and rain
Pushing through the masses
When against the grain
As she opened up our eyes for us to see
Crying out an angel to reveal her mystery

Oh savior in the dark
I know you can save their minds
Promise she will never let us down
Of course she will defend our way of life

Here we stand before the world
The solution is simple
The answer is her
We'll send one of us
For all of us
To ensure that our voice
Will be heard

We will be victorious
In the blink of an eye
She'll be sent to the sky
We'll be glorious
Victorious
We rise
Yes we're gonna be
Victorious
 
This is my go at some parts of the lyrics.

"[...] Upon stones to stand the test of time"

"We will be victorious
In the blink of an eye
We ascend to the sky"

"The spoken word
Ink and paper
Stunning, beautiful, eyes and ears"
 
Awesome input! Definitely helped me fill out some of the blanks.
E.g. I now hear "Become today's realities" in the first pre-chorus, but I don't really the second time.
Nevertheless, it is by far the best suggestion.
 
My two cents...

In the 2nd verse I hear
"The spoken word
The ink on paper
Spelling beauty for eyes and ears"

Upd: After listening for one more time I think it's "Embrace this plight" in the bridge...

In the first stanza, I think a verse is "Poems known to stand the test of time" (it also fits better with everything else they talk about there)

"VICTORIOUS"

One man to sail the oceans,
one man to leave the ground behind
Deep down we strive to be more than we are
Tamed the fire and the world was ours

We build it up, reaching for the heavens
A pile of stone to stand the test of time
We brought light to shame the sun
and we always found a way

I don’t care if you don’t care
Because our dreams have always taken us where
amazing fantasies become today’s realities

We will be victorious
In the blink of an eye we ascend to the sky
We’ll be glorious, victorious we rise
‘cuz we’re gonna be and won’t stop ‘til we are victorious

One man to split the atom,
One man to tread another world
Inside we know that we have what it takes
Faster, stronger, higher than before

The spoken word, the ink on paper
Astounding beauty for the eyes and ears
All this, when we stand together
When we stand as one

We will be victorious
In the blink of an eye we ascend to the sky
We’ll be glorious, victorious and somehow
we’ll rise to the challenge

But fading are our smiles
Confidence is fleeting
Embrace this plight, and yield before the fire
Understand, this time we cannot make it alone
our failure is forever
Through the wind and rain
Pushing through the masses
went against the grain
as she opened up our eyes for us to see
Crying out, an angel to reveal her mystery
A savior in the dark,
I know she can sway their minds
I promise, she will never let us down,
Of course she will defend our way of life

Here we stand before the world
The solution is simple, the answer is her!
We’ll send one of us, for all of us
and the truth in her voice will be heard

We will be victorious
In the blink of an eye she’ll be sent to the sky
We’ll be glorious, victorious we rise
Yes we’re gonna be victorious
