Declaration
Bleeding Through Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We waste no time to start this war
A declaration
Cut you down at the knees
These false ideals we'll never be a part of
A declaration
For what you could never swear to me
You're just a trend a lamb in sheep's clothing
Time to strike the nerve and erase
We are standing right here and we'll stand here forever
You can't destroy what you can not replace
This is our time for redemption
And I see it in your face
A soldier of fortune clones
This day I'll hide from your reflection in the mirror
No sanctuary no fucking hope
Now stand to your feet
Out of your shadows a plague to me
We are the prodigal sons and daughters
No fear of death and sorrow or failure
You're just a trend a lamb in sheep's clothing
Time to strike the nerve and erase
We are standing right here and we'll stand here forever
You can't destroy what you can not replace
And I see it in your eyes
A soldier of disgusting clones
You always hide your reflection in the mirror
No sanctuary no fucking hope
Let me explain so you can understand me
You're all fake to me
Let me scream so you can fucking hear me
You're all a plague
Another sickness to me

This intro and Declaration are so epic. All time epic intro into such a good empowering song.

I loved how they started from the Orange County Hardcore scene evolving into their own sound, sure there's influences of Norwegian Black, Swedish Melodeath and American Tech Death, but they truly peaked with this record.
Aurelbattsing
It's a fantastic album ! With a brutal and melancolic duality !
Mike Bobos coloring book
Definitely one of the best metalcore albums of all time and their is many more on that list. But this one is my personal favorite because it just sounds so angry but somehow sad, like someone in grief and packs so much emotion in every song.
Improv Pearl Drummer
