"I felt compelled to write about this band because they really do hearken back to the days before hardcore music became so blatantly commercial, and they really remind of a band I would have been in love with when I first got into heavier music. Sounding like something of a cross between Vision of Disorder meets modern day Remembering Never, with touches of Bury Your Dead and even Lamb of God, Sinshrift employs the necessary tools to have a successful sound without becoming cliché and compromised.

Sinshrift Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Interesting Facts ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A nightmare from a dream
If you could only see now
What you have done to me
Will I ever be free?
My heart still screams out your name
I only pray that yours burns the same
The ghost of us still haunts me
I’m marred within the flame
If we could see this through
I would only want the truth
I chase every breath you take
So, please
If you could only see now
What you have done to me
Will I ever be free?
My heart still screams out your name
I only pray that yours burns the same
The ghost of us still haunts me
I can’t replace the memory of you
My heart still screams out your name
I only pray that yours burns the same
The ghost of us still haunts me
I like awake
I’m marred within the flame
I’ve tried to walk away
But you won't let me...
