Once again these bitter herbs The perfect compliment to all your cryptic words I nod but don't know what to say, but I know you And I believe you're who you say you are so I I will follow you, lay down my life I would die for you, this very night Once again the bread and wine But it seems the meanings may be deeper still this time And you surprised me when you said I'd fall away, don't you know me I could never be ashamed of you, no I I've never been this cold, the fire's gravity compels Like planets cling to sol, I feel my orbit start to fail Like moths to flame I come, too close And all my oaths are burned As stars begin to run, all my accusers take their turn And calling curses down, from my lips lies like poison spill And then that awful sound, the sound of prophesy fulfilled And then I met your eyes, and I remember everything And something in me dies, the night that I betrayed my king
I love this song. It really made me cry the first time I heard it in the hospital a few months back... I love "I will follow you, Lay down my life, I will die for you" I want to be that devoted one day.
Sis, if you hear the end you'll understand how devoted he really was, so instead of "I will" look towards Jesus who said it and kept His words. Blessings!
I love how their opening just tears you to shreds..and then the ride just begins! Amazing song and Thrice is on their own level. Really hard to match! "I will follow.you! Lay down my life! I will die for you..
i saw Thrice live at Riotfest in Toronto in 2015. They rocked. Also saw Cancerbats. Weezer played their entire Blue album front to back. Alexisonfire made their re-debut after their breakup, was their first show back together since they split. Wutang-clan. Eagles of Death metal. So many cool shows. Moneen. gosh it was a hell of a 2 day event. Rained cats and dogs on us, froze us out too. But we stayed.
"And then that awful sound, the sound of prophesy fulfilled" When the cock crowed! Peter had denied Christ thrice. Amazing band, and I love the depth, and the sound, and the meanings!
“Peter said to him, "Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death." Jesus said, "I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow this day, until you deny three times that you know me."” Luke 22:33-34
Lol no Deftones have been around years before Thrice. The atmosphere on this album is heavily inspired by White Pony. The riffs and sludgy sounding bass is clearly inspired by Deftones signature Alt-metal sound. Thrice's albums before this had a very clear Post Hardcore and Punk sound to them.
The negativity isn't necessary. I'm sure Thrice wouldn't approve of mindless criticism of another band. Just look at the reception it's received, and where your comment currently resides in the page. Also, since when has Thrice tried to sound sexual?
