Affiance Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This place scorched beyond recognition
Chaos reigns
See the ruin around us
Feel confusion within
THEY CAME FOR US
ONE MILLION DEAD
IS THIS THE PRICE WE PAY?
UP FROM THE ASHES
WE WILL APPEAR
REPAY THE FAVOR
THE WAR YOU WANT IS HERE
If you rule the air
We will take the ground
Pull you down and strip you off your precious crown
How does it feel to know
The power has it's limits?
Your kingdom has an end
No reason for life
Slaves set free
THEY CAME FOR US
SET OUR WORLD ABLAZE
ONE MILLION DAYS
IS THIS THE PRICE WE PAY?
UP FROM THE ASHES
WE WILL APPEAR
REPAY THE FAVOR
THE WAR YOU WANT IS HERE
Fire!
THEY CAME FOR US
SET OUR WORLD ABLAZE
ONE MILLION DAYS
IS THIS THE PRICE WE PAY?
UP FROM THE ASHES
WE WILL APPEAR
REPAY THE FAVOR
THE WAR YOU WANT IS HERE
The song “Fire!” by Affiance is about rebellion and standing up against oppressors who have destroyed a place beyond recognition. Chaos reigns and confusion is felt within the people who have become victims of this destruction. The lyrics express anger towards those who set their world ablaze and caused the deaths of one million people. However, the victims refuse to be defeated as they vow to rise up from the ashes and repay the favor by starting a war against their oppressors.
The song speaks about the power struggle between those who rule the air and those who take the ground. The victims intend to pull their oppressors down and strip them off their precious crown, thereby ending their reign of terror. The victims are motivated by their belief that power has its limits, and their oppressors' kingdom has an end. The song ends with the repetition of the chorus, emphasizing that the victims will not be held down and are ready to start a war in return.

This band is fucking untouchable!!
EVERY note they play is executed with utmost skill & passion!
Affiance has the complex, modern sound commingled with vocals that are reminiscent of another era simply because Dennis's operatic tone isn't commonplace in the world of rock and metal!
I found these guys two years ago & I have not looked back or called it into question.
These guys should be a mainstay in the music industry!!
Affiance blends new and old, stern and fun and continue to innovate with every little idiosyncrasy they concoct!
Lyrics of societal concerns and introspective streams of thought are validation in themselves, & in time, they will receive the credit and acclaim they've always deserved!
AFFIANCE RULES!
THIS IS TRUE FIRE!
Derek Gridley
This band is definitely one of the top underrated bands I know of.

Indeed
Deku Butler
We need a metal revival. This band is only the first step.
Dave Duncan
aaaand they broke up...
Cameron Ely
My band is stepping up to the plate too. We the metal-heads will prevail and the world will see what we are all about! \m/
ShadowCrowX
fuck yes! his voice got even more powerful! it has broken in and is solid as fuck now. I've only been listening for a week, but based on the two albums I've been playing back to back I can tell the lead singer has improved quite a lot from when they first started and of course, band is solid as always

It is criminal that these guys were never as big as they deserved to be, especially with metal-ass music videos like this one.
