Cast The First Stone
Silent Civilian Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We are together till the bloody end
Kill for less, We live forever
(We'll) never be forgotten
Spare, not the ones who will engage us
Opposition falls trust and
Friendship are contagious
Now closed fist we fight
Avenge the blood of a friend
We crush front lines
We bring a means to an end
Pain, built with tolerance and callous
A fire within us all
Can't destroy what is the balance
Of our unification
With blood and tears we stand alone
The sacred oath we've taken
We have no fear to cast the stone
We will not be forsaken
Now closed fist we fight
Avenge the blood of a friend
We crush front lines
We bring a means to an end
We all are bound by one another
Fighting side by side
Answer only to eachother
Never be dictated
With blood and tears we stand alone
The sacred oath we've taken
We have no fear to cast the stone
We will not be forsaken

One of the most underrated and under the radar bands I've ever heard. They should be HUGE!

Im a long time metal head.... And this is one of the best bands I've every heard. Should be on top of the metal world if managed right.
