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.
The End Of The World
God Forbid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's our affliction, the remains of yesterday
Help us get away from the destruction of our world (World)
From the destruction of our world
Running for cover as the ghost walk as man
Running for cover as the world comes to an end
Will we suffer, suffer the dawn of a new age?
The flesh of man lay to waste
No hope for human kind
Only remains of yesterday
Running for cover as the ghost walk as man
Running for cover as the world comes to an end
Will this be a new beginning, to another end?
Will we suffer, the dawn, the dawn of a new age?
Tell me why, we have survived. While they have suffered
We are the chosen ones and we will never falter
As the world begins to spin round and round
This is the end, this is the end, and this is the end
We are the new rulers of this world
This is the end we are the last ones left
We are the rulers of this world
We are the last ones left
We are the rulers of this world
There's no one left, there is no one left
This is the end; this is the end of the world
This is the end; this is the end of the world
This is the end
The song "The End of the World" by God Forbid speaks of a worldwide genocide that has resulted in the remains of yesterday, hinting at how the world has been destroyed, and people are running for cover. The lyrics suggest that there is no hope for humankind and only remains of the past. The song also questions whether this will be the dawn of a new age, whether it will be a fresh beginning, or whether mankind will have to bear the brunt of it.
The song reflects on how only a few people have survived, and they believe that they are the chosen ones. They will never falter, and they will rule the new world. The lyrics depict an end to the world as we know it, leading to a new dawn for humanity. The shift is clear and the song ends with repetition of the phrase, "This is the end of the world!"

Worldwide genocide
The worldwide destruction of humanity
It's our affliction, the remains of yesterday
The result of our past actions is our current suffering
Help us get away from the destruction of our world (World)
Please assist us in escaping the annihilation of our planet
From the destruction of our world
Escape the end of the world
Running for cover as the ghost walk as man
Fearful and trying to find safety while the world crumbles around us
Will this be a new beginning?
Is this the start of something new?
Will we suffer, suffer the dawn of a new age?
Will we endure the pain of a new era?
The flesh of man lay to waste
Human bodies are left to rot
No hope for human kind
Humanity has lost all possibility of a good outcome
Only remains of yesterday
All that is left is the wreckage of the past
Tell me why, we have survived. While they have suffered
Why have we been spared while others have not?
We are the chosen ones and we will never falter
We are the selected ones and won't fail
As the world begins to spin round and round
The world is collapsing and everything is spinning out of control
This is the end, this is the end, and this is the end
The end of the world has come
We are the new rulers of this world
Now that everyone else is gone, we are the ones in charge
This is the end we are the last ones left
The world has ended and we are the only survivors
There's no one left, there is no one left
Everyone else has died, we are the only ones alive
This is the end
The apocalypse has happened

Freakin real bro. I remember as a kid being hispanic and liking metal I always seemed nervous and out of place in that scene. Now it's different; color is not an issue. It's all about the music METAL MUSIC!

The breakdown in this song is absolutely epic. Love the entire album, but this song hits so hard it can wake a coma patient.
Brad Holmes
Don’t think a band can be as underrated as godforbid. Definitely or if the best!
