Beneath The Genocide is a giant among many. They have persevered through many struggles. BTG has gone through much change in the past several years, from line-up changes, to different sounds, they have shown that they can last through the toughest of times. Its been said that it's not where you have been that defines you. It is, however, what makes the man he is today. We all have to learn from our mistakes, but never perish in them, but grow stronger with every bit of knowledge we obtain. The members of BTG have become living proof of just this. With the vocals of Kyle Cesari, keys/orchestration by Jon Secor, Justin Ravare on bass, drummer Matt Brown, original member/founder Chris Marron, and Juan Diaz rounding out the pack with guitars, the band is truly an amazing spectacle, with an on-stage presence that is undenyable. With the debut release of their demo "Salvation." in October 2008 and the much anticipated LP "TIDES.", they've proved to be a band of great musical conscience. They're not stopping anytime soon, and you've just seen the begining of Beneath The Genocide.

Beneath The Genocide Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Scratch through the walls, in my mind.
Chasms deep with rage,
Unshallow as I thought.
The darkness falls, unto my eyes...
Glossed with hate, and disappointment.
Is this crazy!
Look into child's face, and see the fate.
So is this suffering?
Am I dead yet?
My nails dig deeper in my skull.
Is this suffering?
The words on the wall, what do they mean?
"The answers are hidden." they tell me.
Whispers tear through my ears.
The winds of silence deafens the last image;
I stare at myself, laughing at my own pyre.
