Lyrics
The Gospel, distorted
It leaves my blood running cold
But still they say I’m rigging the ritual
I never said that I was giving blood for the unbelievers
Bleeding out like a devil in disguise
They shot a hole in the parachute
‘Cause I’d rather feel alive
It’s so convoluted
They’re just trepanning for gold
May they rest in peace
‘Cause they’re fucking dead to me
Well there’s your eulogy
The water’s polluted
My feathers caught in the spill
Nobody said that it would be safe up here
Your salvation’s a letdown
Oh I’m sorry that I’d rather feel
I’d rather feel alive
It leaves a mark on the mind
It weaves a web in the background
Silently
No time to spare
No sign of the exit wound
God help me
There’s no drying off
Once you’re soaked right down to the bone
Hopefully
Somebody thinks of me in the aftermath
Woe is me
I’m so sorry
I’m so sorry

Agreed, I always loved the beginning of Hereafter because it's heavenly like that

[@pedrotraguil8511]

One of the best albums I've heard in years. Sam voice is really versatile its great to see him do more than just scream. This is how you try something new not compromising the band core sound. I'm in love with this album.

[@sarcasm4371]

He's done plenty of singing in the past.

[@pedrotraguil8511]

@@sarcasm4371 yeah but most of the albums were focused on screaming with some small parts in clean vocals, this album puts the screams only where they need to be to boost the emotion of the lyrics, and he shows his clean vocals a lot more through the album.

[@sarcasm4371]

@@pedrotraguil8511 I mean, no. Daybreaker and the Here and Now had plenty of singing. Not anything particularly small. AOG, Holy Hell, and LF//LT had pretty much no cleans though, but I don't think they really needed them.

SkyZgone exactly! People throw around the words “butt rock” and “pop radio” so much they literally don’t know what they mean anymore lol, like please enlighten me and tell me what radio station you listen to that would play Goliath or Discourse Is Dead.

A band that can give me their sound in different ways is way more impressive to me than a band that sticks with the same formula that got them famous. These guys, to me, are screamo af and I don't expect people who don't see that in them to see the traces of screamo in them before and realize they're doing what I mentioned above. These guys are awesome!!! Loss to those who don't like it.

[@tehrik0020]

To think it's the same people that rip on Sabaton and Disturbed for being "too samey". I get that tastes are tastes but some people just want to look for a reason to be unsatisfied.
