1. Fronted by Michae… Read Full Bio ↴There are 2 (at least) bands called Confession.
1. Fronted by Michael Crafter (former I Killed the Prom Queen), Confession is one of Australia's leading Hardcore Acts. The band members come from all over Australia, including Melbourne (Victoria), Adelaide (South Australia) and Byron Bay in New South Wales, well known for the breeding ground of Australian Metalcore band, Parkway Drive.
Confession's Debut Album, Cancer, was released during 2009 and was Blunt Magazine's Album of the Year. Since the albums release, the band has gone on many national headline tours aswell as supporting the likes of Parkway Drive and The Amity Affliction.
The band has finished recording their second album with renowned producer Fredrik Nordstrom, released on 23 September 2011, The Long Way Home would be the last release to feature band members Dan Brown ( guitar, clean vocals), Adam Harris (guitar), Tim Anderson (bass) and Shane O'Brien (drums, percussion).
After returning from their European tour supporting Parkway Drive, The Ghost Inside and Miss May I it seem's the members had kicked Crafter from the band, Crafter quickly swooping in and banning the others from the band's facebook page and posting "It's Crafter here. I would like to announce that the members who used to play in this band have tried to double cross me. I have now kicked out all members of the band and will be looking for legit friends to play within the band. SO HEY GET Fucked."
after the last few months searching for members it seems Crafter has decided to draft Doyle and William from local Brisbane acoustic duo D at Sea and will be touring with Doyle and William and 2 more unknown members supporting House vs Hurricane on their upcoming regional Crooked Teeth tour.
2. Kind a youngish thrash/death metal band from Lithuania. Started hanging out together at late 2009. Debuted in 2012 with such a bands like Oboltred, Eliminator and Inheritage. Literally kicked asses during that concert. And now, it's one of those rare Lithuanian bands playing bloody good Thrash metal.
Dance With the Devil
Confession Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We got our own underground, now let me show you 'round.
Welcome, yeah sinners and saints,
Come see the king in restraints, the queen with his crown.
Pure cry, as we pass 'em all by,
And you can look in our eyes, and see no signs of light.
Hang 'em high on the street lights tonight,
And there's no losing the fight,
[Chorus]
You can dance with the devil, but you must wait your turn.
He'll bring you to his level, so you can feel the burn!
Get down, pass the bottle around,
Pray to the lord you don't drown, and we can show you how.
Sluts twist through the smoke and the mist,
So get your hand off your dick, and I can show you how!
Hell bent, none of us heaven sent,
Around the fire we chant, so just walk on by.
Hold tight, to your daughters tonight,
Cause you know I'll fuck 'em right, you know I damn well might.
[Chorus]
You can dance with the devil but you must wait your turn.
Down south, all the rebels, are standing proud and firm.
Romance tried to change the man I am
And I will be made pure of this I'm sure.
[Chorus: x2]
You can dance with the devil but you must wait your turn.
Down south, all the rebels, are standing proud and firm.
The lyrics of Confession’s “Dance With The Devil” paint a vivid picture of a dark, sinful underworld, where sinners and saints come together to revel in their wickedness. In the first verse, the singer takes the listener to a downtown area where “no angels are found”, and they show them around their own underground. They welcome all - sinners and saints alike - to see the king in restraints and the queen with his crown, offering a glimpse into their world. The second verse gets even darker, describing the debauchery that takes place in this underground world. The singer urges listeners to pray they don't drown as they pass the bottle around and witness the smoke and mist, and warns fathers to hold tight to their daughters lest they be taken advantage of in this sinful place.
At its core, “Dance With The Devil” is a cautionary tale about the dangers of giving in to temptation and engaging in sinful behavior. The chorus warns that if you dance with the devil, you will feel the burn, and that you must wait your turn to enter this underworld. The final verse concludes by suggesting that the singer has experienced a change, stating that “romance tried to change the man I am, and I will be made pure of this I'm sure”. It's unclear whether this change is for better or worse, but the implication is that reckoning with one's own moral compass is necessary to escape the lure of the devilish underground.
Line by Line Meaning
Downtown where no angels are found,
We are in a seedy part of town, far from the purity of angels.
We got our own underground, now let me show you 'round.
We have our own subculture, and I'll give you a tour.
Welcome, yeah sinners and saints,
Both the irreligious and devout are welcome here.
Come see the king in restraints, the queen with his crown.
Take a look at the irony of a powerless king and a powerful queen.
Pure cry, as we pass 'em all by,
We move on, unaffected by the pure ones' cries.
And you can look in our eyes, and see no signs of light.
We are lost in darkness, with no hope of finding light.
Hang 'em high on the street lights tonight,
We'll execute them in the streets tonight.
And there's no losing the fight,
We will win, no matter what.
We tie our nooses tight.
We prepare our own deaths with precision.
You can dance with the devil, but you must wait your turn.
You can join us in our wickedness, but only when we say so.
He'll bring you to his level, so you can feel the burn!
The devil will corrupt you, and you'll suffer the consequences.
Get down, pass the bottle around,
Drink with us, and enjoy the moment.
Pray to the lord you don't drown, and we can show you how.
Beware of drowning in sin, we'll teach you how to avoid it.
Sluts twist through the smoke and the mist,
We objectify women and they dance through the smoke.
So get your hand off your dick, and I can show you how!
Stop masturbating and join us to experience true debauchery.
Hell bent, none of us heaven sent,
We are determined to go to hell and we're not chosen for heaven.
Around the fire we chant, so just walk on by.
We have our own rituals and if you don't like it, just leave.
Hold tight, to your daughters tonight,
Keep a close eye on your daughters, we might seduce them.
Cause you know I'll fuck 'em right, you know I damn well might.
I might even have sex with them, and it'll be good.
Down south, all the rebels, are standing proud and firm.
In the southern part of town, rebellious people are standing tall.
Romance tried to change the man I am
Love has failed to change me and my ways.
And I will be made pure of this I'm sure.
I'm certain that I'll never be pure or change my sinful ways.
You can dance with the devil but you must wait your turn.
You can join us in our wickedness, but only when we say so.
Down south, all the rebels, are standing proud and firm.
In the southern part of town, rebellious people are standing tall.

Thanks for posting. This song is amazing. Sucks that this band broke up, because they would have been extremely successful. This album might be the best album I have ever heard.

One of my favorites off the album. I agree they would've been extremely successful. All songs are masterpieces, & yes one of the best albums I've heard as well.
