Wage War Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Myself to the ones who think I'm of no use
So mark my words
Run your mouth when nobody's around
No one remembers the cowards
When they're six feet beneath the ground
So mark my words
Run your mouth when nobody's around
No one remembers the cowards
When they're six feet beneath the ground

I've waited all my life for this chance to prove
I have longed for this opportunity to demonstrate my abilities
Myself to the ones who think I'm of no use
To those who don't believe in me and doubt my capabilities
So mark my words
Listen carefully to what I am about to say
Run your mouth when nobody's around
Talking behind my back when I am not present
No one remembers the cowards
People tend to forget those who lack courage
When they're six feet beneath the ground
When they have passed away and no longer exist
Bring it
I am ready for whatever comes my way

I've waited all my life for this chance to prove
Myself to the ones who think I'm of no use
So mark my words, watch your mouth
When nobody's around no one remembers the cowards
When they're six feet beneath the ground
Bring it!
So mark my words, watch your mouth
When nobody's around no one remembers the cowards
When they're six feet beneath the ground

At first i expected your typical breakdown. This song just proved that they can still be done well and correctly and have a different sound to them. Slowly Wage War are becoming a favorite band of mine.

+Zachary Tyler If you want some more of that thick sound I suggest Tony Danza's Tapdance Extravaganza. Super low odd tuning. It's pretty badass.

***** Oh I know about Glass Cloud. They're amazing as well.

I'm trying very, very hard to find SOMETHING wrong with a song but I've just given up, these guys literally just smashed into the scene. Sweet fuck, these songs are good.
@MRVNx32
That breakdown that kicks in after "6 feet beneath the ground" hits so hard it's like a kick in the mouth.
@SkookNasty
BLEGH!
