Thrice - To Awake and Avenge The Dead [Audio] 

This band and being in High School in 2003-2009 era...can not replicate it. Good times all

Those fucking riffs near the end are some of the sickest riffs I've ever heard.

This is what made high school awesome. I love being old

Old friend, they told me you were dead The news broadcast, The funeral 500 channels focus in Your love was Ravished, drawn, and quartered The soil was swift to drink her blood This violence in the name of love! But I still feel you, Despite your tombstone, But I still feel you, Despite your tombstone, So friend you must still walk among us, In places we don't dare to glance I saw you killing Aristotle But I know its all part of the plan. Old friend, they told me you were dead The news broadcast, The funeral 500 channels focus in Your love was Ravished, drawn, and quartered The soil was swift to drink her blood This violence in the name of love! Old friend, they told me you were dead The news broadcast, The funeral 500 channels focus in Your love was Ravished, drawn, and quartered The soil was swift to drink her blood This violence, This violence, This violence in the name of love! To awake and avenge the dead, To awake and avenge the dead, To awake and avenge the dead.

Guitar riff during the final breakdown is badass!!

I remember this from the Atticus Vol. 3 compilation. Those were good days!

Happy 20th Anniversary to The Illusion of Safety!

The best snare sound in any recording EVER

amazing song. you should bring this back to live sets! that outro is too immense not to

This song has power...... i wish for the glory Thrice to shine again.

Still one of my favorite jams of all time... by one of my favorite bands of all time.

Sk8boarding on a Monday to high school song.. Miss the good ole days!

I started listening to the song again because now you're dead. You were my best friend for 30 years of my life but your memory keeps this music alive and I want to appreciate to every moment of every sound. Until we meet again i will cherish every living breath until we meet again. I love you Josh.. i will never forget you and and the song portrays Everything we built together.. You're my best friend and brother

Every riff in this song 🤘🤘🤘

Even though I love almost every Thrice album, I do hope they revisit their heavier side one day even if it's just for an EP.

We used to do a medley of this n deadbolt. Ending deadbolt in D n going into this outro. Twas great

Last 3 songs...... Perfection

I love this song. My band used to cover it when I was in high school🤘

I learned how to play guitar to this album

Legendary

Taught me how to play guitar!! I miss the violent tansiotions!!

After my brother was murdered, this song carried me through by providing philosophy that wasn't " god had a plana:?"

Damn nostalgia made me tear up

The whole track is good but the last guitar solo is badass

I was at Tower Records some 2000' dying store at La Jolla, CA, in my early 40' and I got sampler and this song... still crying.. fuckin sobbing..

Seriously though, these guys at Chain Reaction in O.C., prob some of the best memories I have of my High School era! 2001 has entered the chat..

20 years ago wooooow

Props MetroJam

Their best songs, in my opinion. (Flaws very much part of it. It would be pointless to re-record The Illusion of Safety, as an attempt to re-produce the work.) No, these songs needn't go anywhere. They are art, and high art, at that. "We float face down, and don't we look content" are two of the most exquisite lines I have ever read, anywhere.

Relevant due to “sudden deaths”

amoung us

This video was too long. Halfway through it, I got hungry so I left it playing and went to the kitchen to fix myself a sandwich. But then I found out that I'm out of mayonnaise so I went to a store. There, I saw the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my whole life. But I'm a really shy person so I took up a three-year personality development course so I could introduce myself. She was very friendly and all, but unfortunately, she had a boyfriend. So I said, all good, I'm a mature person. I wanted the best for her and I harbored no illusion that I am the best person for her and she seemed happy with her boyfriend, so I didn't bother her anymore. But we kept in touch and we became friends and I got over my crush on her. Then she broke up with her boyfriend, we drank some alcohol because of it. I told her she'll be fine and I wished her well. I still think she's the most beautiful woman in the world, but like I said, I am over my crush on her. It was like five years already since I first saw her. Besides, I am quite happy with the friendship I developed with her. It was more important than a crush. So we kept hanging out, drinking, having coffee, and all. I had a girlfriend, she started dating other guys. My girlfriend wanted to live some other life without me in it, so I said, "Okay, I want the best for you and I want you to pursue your happiness." My lady friend and I drank alcohol about it, and she gave me the same advice I gave her when she was in that position and I became okay with the breakup immediately. But we were really drunk, so she spent the night in my apartment. I only have one bed, so you know what that means: She took the bed and I slept on the couch. But on the couch, I really can't sleep. Something was bothering me. So I tossed and turned for about three hours, then I finally couldn''t take it anymore, I stood up and went straight to my room where she's sleeping. I approached the bed, gently sat on it and I reached for her shoulder to pull her closer to me. She stirred and woke up. She asked what's up. I told her, "you know, the first time I saw you, I was watching a video and left it playing to get myself a sandwich then went to the store to get some mayo then I got so distracted by life that I forgot to finish the video." She said, "You know what, I've been wondering about a weird noise in your night drawer." So we opened that drawer, and lo and behold, there's my phone and this video still has two minutes of play time on it.

Someone suggest ed the song was inspired by princess diana death
