Upon a Burning Body Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's fucking no mans land
So watch what you say
Choke on the violence you're fed
No words are spoken no room for debate
Just run straight through the ones that you hate
Power strength and virtue
Failure won't deter you
Here on the front line it's a war
Never forget what your fighting for
No one gets left behind
Power strength and virtue
Failure won't deter you
We will never surrender
Here on the front line it's a war
Never forget what your fighting for
Never surrender
We are all born for battle
Let power reign
Here on the front line it's a war
Never forget who you're fighting for.

This is just solid. These guys do this southern infused metalcore style very well.
xScythe
The riffage in this whole album gives me dimebag vibes. Fuckin chills
Richard Sinclair
This isn't even metalcore at this point. It's pretty straight-forward groove done VERY well.
The Bowl Combo
Seen this band many times and had the privilege of filming them last summer. Incredibly down to earth, hard working and just overall nice guys. Hope this album is a success for them. They deserve it.

I love the setup of the music video. How they all faced the drummer, it made me think of being in a studio or on stage and actually incorporating the drummer into the performance. Such a good song dudes

Brutal music with no happy, clean vocals? Amazing! 🤘
