1) God Forbid was a melodic metalcore band from New Brunswick, New Jersey that was formed in 1998. Their style is different than the styles presented by other, popular metalcore bands: God Forbid's influences are deep-rooted in thrash metal. Building up a following in the late 1990s by touring with bands such as Cradle of Filth, Nile, and Candiria, their first full album Reject the Sickness was released by 9 Volt Records in 1999. This album received heavy rotation from WSOU-FM in the New York City area, and the band was subsequently signed to Century Media Records, releasing the album Determination in 2001. They played on the MTV2 Headbanger's Ball tour with Killswitch Engage, Shadows Fall, and Lamb of God. In 2004, they released Gone Forever, which helped increase their status considerably. They supported Machine Head along with Caliban in Nov/Dec of 2004 in the UK. The next year, they released IV: Constitution of Treason, a concept album about the end of the world. In 2005-2006 they supported Trivium on their UK tour along with Mendeed & Bloodsimple.
In 2009, they released a brand-new album, Earthsblood. To promote this album, they went on a tour with August Burns Red, DevilDriver and Anthrax.
Move On
God Forbid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What was the decision made?
How did you come to it? How has it affected?
And now what will you do?
What's in your brain? Answers given, words taken
What answers? Nothing is for certain
What was given to you, huh? But the one thing I know
What do you know huh? Tell me, what do you fucking know?
Torn apart but I'm still whole
(You've broken me from the inside out)
The blame is mine, but not alone
(I couldn't hate myself enough)
I never wanted to compromise, redefine the path in my life
See the malice behind your eyes, know the truth or desensitize
I can't let go! Down the drain I wander
Feel my pain mother fucker.
Lay your sins on me? I'll give it away
We all live again, we all live again
Now its time to move on. Set me free
We all live again, we all live again
My design will not be ignored. Refined awakening
Witness the earth open up to you
Awakening
Why can't we live?
Finally, I'm coming to (The last drop from the hourglass)
Time to move on, time to move on
Move on move on
I always wanted to overcome, become a man and never run
I see the light of the rising sun, this is my life, the only one
Make it so! Down the drain I conquer
Feel my pain you mother fucker
Lay your sins on me? I'll give it away
We all live again, we all live again
Now its time to move on. Set me free
We all live again, we all live again
Set me free
We all live again, we all live again
