From the sharp shooter blast and commencing sonic assault of “National Amnesia” to the scornfully anthemic chorus of “Televangelist”, Twelve Tribes reemerges from their Dayton, Ohio homestead with a newfound intensity and a greater sense of urgency. Their distinctive brand of hardcore is thoughtfully driven, but this time Twelve Tribes marches into the square waving their flag of opposition—turning their organic sound into an all out public execution.
Twelve Tribes followed the release of their Ferret Records debut, 2004’s The Rebirth Of Tragedy, with relentless touring. They shared the stage over the past 3 years with bands like Lamb Of God, Killswitch Engage, Soulfly, Machine Head, Zao and It Dies Today. It was the tour overseas in 2005 with Killswitch Engage (which sold out every venue before the bands stepped foot on European soil) that set the band up for what would be a very successful year across the pond. Twelve Tribes returned overseas two more times with 36 Crazyfists and then with their label mates Every Time I Die and A Life Once Lost.
Now in 2006, the band is already hitting the road in the US and plan to call the UK and Europe their second home over the next two years promoting the October 3rd release of Midwest Pandemic, produced by Andreas Magnusson (The Black Dahlia Murder, Scarlet)

Twelve Tribes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For the taste of spilling words beneath your tongue,
For when I spoke of you I stole the day and bled the sun awaiting home
Where hand held innocence is fueling life and pain and love
Bleed through me and we'll be still forever after no movement
No breathing she swore she'd always care for me these secrets
They burn me and I bleed her beauty is saddening.
The opening line of "Witness the end of yourself" conveys a sense of self-destructive tendencies or self-sabotage. The following line "and write it all down in your blood" adds to this as the blood symbolizes pain, suffering, and sacrifice. It is as if the artist is willing to bleed themselves dry to express their emotions. The next few lines—"For the taste of spilling words beneath your tongue, / For when I spoke of you I stole the day and bled the sun awaiting home"—suggest a sense of obsession, where the artist's thoughts revolve around this unnamed person who has taken over their life. They are so focused on this person that they have lost themselves, "awaiting home" but unable to find their way.
The next line "Where hand-held innocence is fueling life and pain and love" could be interpreted in different ways. It may suggest that the artist is searching for a simpler, more innocent time in their life, where they did not experience pain and love. Alternatively, it might indicate that the artist is holding onto innocence as a way of dealing with the pain and love that they currently feel. This is followed by the lines "Bleed through me and we'll be still forever after no movement / No breathing she swore she'd always care for me these secrets / They burn me and I bleed her beauty is saddening." These lines are ambiguous as it is not clear who is speaking or who is being addressed. However, it does suggest a sense of connection between two people that is both beautiful and painful. The repeated use of "bleed" reinforces the idea of sacrifice and suffering.
Line by Line Meaning
Witness the end of yourself and write it all down in your blood fiend
Experience the moment of your downfall and document it in your own blood, as it gives you a sense of satisfaction.
For the taste of spilling words beneath your tongue
Expressing yourself and revealing your innermost thoughts gives you a sense of fulfillment.
For when I spoke of you I stole the day and bled the sun awaiting home
When I talked about you, I was so preoccupied with you that I lost track of time and longed for my own sanctuary.
Where hand held innocence is fueling life and pain and love
In a world where pure and virtuous nature is the source of all, one can find fulfillment, suffering, and love.
Bleed through me and we'll be still forever after no movement
Let me bleed so that we can stay together without any movement, forever.
No breathing she swore she'd always care for me these secrets
She pledged to always look after me, even if it meant keeping some secrets from me.
They burn me and I bleed her beauty is saddening.
These secrets cause me pain, and her beauty is so moving that it makes me deeply melancholic.

Sorry for the VERY, VERY long "comment". But I believe it NEEDS to be said)
Kind Sir...your Title said, "WHO ARE THE 12 TRIBES OF ISRAEL?". Well it has several "12 Tribes" situations. IE...
It began in 'circa 4,000 yrs; with 12 Tribes; named of Jacob's sons! In order of their birth is this: "Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, Asher, Issachar, Zebulun, Joseph, and Benjamin",
And those 12 Tribes' names; were to soon be this..."Reuben, Simeon, 'Manasseh', Judah, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, Asher, Issachar, Zebulun, 'Ephraim and Benjamin'".
The reason is: the Levites were TOO busy on Holy things; that they could not do crops for food; and taking care of their animals. And Joseph was enslaved into Egypt. And He could not lead his Tribe. So the other 10 Tribes; decided to use Joseph's 2 Sons "Manasseh" and "Ephraim". To keep it 12 Tribes.
But later, when the Tribes got to there Homelands; the Manassehites settled down; on both sides of the "Jordan River". And, in essence, they had 13 Tribes. And later...ALL but the Judah and Benjamin Tribes; had become "Abominable Sinnes". Over many centuries. And God was horridly anger.
So He, cursed 10 of them...and they scattered every where. And probably, they were annihilated by those; that hated the Israelites. And it is called "The 10 Lost Tribes".
Now finally, in 605 BC "King Nebuchadnezzar" in Babylon; enslaved most of the last 2 Tribes. But the Benjamites population; was VERY small population vs the Judahites. So soon, they simply grapted their selves, into the Judahites. That was indredible of a population.
Then the "Babylonians" called them "Jud's". But later the Judahites called themselves "Jews". And that has been, since the last 1,600 yrs. So that's the History of the 12 Israelite Tribes.
But God wanted ALL of the original Tribes to be Forever. Thus, He cursed ALL jews ;in the year of 70 AD. Where the Romans destroyed their homeland; and burned down God's Holy of Holies buildings. Not to mention murdering many Jews; that did not run to the hills and caves, around Jerusalem.
So, the ONLY "true" Jews today; are those that believe IN Jesus. Who is the only true God Almighty, there will ever be! And sadly, MOST of the original tribes; will be cast into a "Burning Lake of Fire" (in Hell).
End of that history and I rest me case...
...in any case Brethren, Please Pray OFTEN and Praise Jesus OFTEN; for He is the ONLY true "God Almighty"; there will ever have been. And may Jesus bless you and yours always. AMEN!

I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, O Lord, show this also to thy servant: whether after death, as soon as every one of us yields up his soul, we shall be kept in rest until those times come when thou wilt renew the creation, or whether we shall be tormented at once?" 76 He answered me and said, "I will show you that also, but do not be associated with those who have shown scorn, nor number yourself among those who are tormented. 77 For you have a treasure of works laid up with the Most High; but it will not be shown to you until the last times. 78 Now, concerning death, the teaching is: When the decisive decree has gone forth from the Most High that a man shall die, as the spirit leaves the body to return again to him who gave it, first of all it adores the glory of the Most High. 79 And if it is one of those who have shown scorn and have not kept the way of the Most High, and who have despised his law, and who have hated those who fear the Most High -- 80 such spirits shall not enter into habitations, but shall immediately wander about in torments, ever grieving and sad, in seven ways. 81 The first way, because they have scorned the law of the Most High. 82 The second way, because they cannot now make a good repentance that they may live. 83 The third way, they shall see the reward laid up for those who have trusted the covenants of the Most High. 84 The fourth way, they shall consider the torment laid up for themselves in the last days. 85 The fifth way, they shall see how the habitations of the others are guarded by angels in profound quiet. 86 The sixth way, they shall see how some of them will pass over into torments. 87 The seventh way, which is worse than all the ways that have been mentioned, because they shall utterly waste away in confusion and be consumed with shame, and shall wither with fear at seeing the glory of the Most High before whom they sinned while they were alive, and before whom they are to be judged in the last times. 88 "Now this is the order of those who have kept the ways of the Most High, when they shall be separated from their mortal body. 89 During the time that they lived in it, they laboriously served the Most High, and withstood danger every hour, that they might keep the law of the Lawgiver perfectly. 90 Therefore this is the teaching concerning them: 91 First of all, they shall see with great joy the glory of him who receives them, for they shall have rest in seven orders. 92 The first order, because they have striven with great effort to overcome the evil thought which was formed with them, that it might not lead them astray from life into death. 93 The second order, because they see the perplexity in which the souls of the unrighteous wander, and the punishment that awaits them. 94 The third order, they see the witness which he who formed them bears concerning them, that while they were alive they kept the law which was given them in trust. 95 The fourth order, they understand the rest which they now enjoy, being gathered into their chambers and guarded by angels in profound quiet, and the glory which awaits them in the last days. 96 The fifth order, they rejoice that they have now escaped what is corruptible, and shall inherit what is to come; and besides they see the straits and toil from which they have been delivered, and the spacious liberty which they are to receive and enjoy in immortality. 97 The sixth order, when it is shown to them how their face is to shine like the sun, and how they are to be made like the light of the stars, being incorruptible from then on. 98 The seventh order, which is greater than all that have been mentioned, because they shall rejoice with boldness, and shall be confident without confusion, and shall be glad without fear, for they hasten to behold the face of him whom they served in life and from whom they are to receive their reward when glorified. 99 This is the order of the souls of the righteous, as henceforth is announced; and the aforesaid are the ways of torment which those who would not give heed shall suffer hereafter." 100 I answered and said, "Will time therefore be given to the souls, after they have been separated from the bodies, to see what you have described to me?" 101 He said to me, "They shall have freedom for seven days, so that during these seven days they may see the things of which you have been told, and afterwards they shall be gathered in their habitations." 102 I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, show further to me, thy servant, whether on the day of judgment the righteous will be able to intercede for the unrighteous or to entreat the Most High for them, 103 fathers for sons or sons for parents, brothers for brothers, relatives for their kinsmen, or friends for those who are most dear." 104 He answered me and said, "Since you have found favor in my sight, I will show you this also. The day of judgment is decisive and displays to all the seal of truth. Just as now a father does not send his son, or a son his father, or a master his servant, or a friend his dearest friend, to be ill or sleep or eat or be healed in his stead, 105 so no one shall ever pray for another on that day, neither shall any one lay a burden on another; for then every one shall bear his own righteousness and unrighteousness." 2 Esdras 2:31
