[@martincapelli140]

This track will always remain as one Klayton's best songs in every project he ever had. It marks every single detail of what Celldweller is, it mashes genres literally in a blender. Real definition of true original music, never got tired of it.

Oh man, I can't believe That you did what they said You did and to this day I've still gotta say that in My mind I question it I wish I knew what you had Meant before you went And left me wondering to Just an echo of your voice Listen... Listen… Listen… Listen... Now I wait to take my turn to bleed Like a kid playing with a razorblade And wonder if I have the balls at all Or am I gonna be afraid Where are you? What do you think? 'Cause I'm not sure when Knocking at death's door If I will be welcome in Or be left alone outside I hear the sound of a heart From the shadow in the dark Waiting for the poison to hit its mark (Listen... my son) I see the darkness surround The shape on the ground The killer straight up And a body face down (Firstborn... last one) I hear the din of the screams Sorrow in streams The smell of farewell and gasoline (Listen... my son) I see a heart set free And my legacy Hear a voice from a shadow that is beckoning me (Firstborn... last one) I guess there comes a point When you think to yourself "This isn't worth it, It isn't worth it" And now I feel what you felt And now I feel what you felt Inside Brother And now I feel what you felt This isn't worth it, It isn't worth it I hear the sound of a heart From the shadow in the dark Waiting for the poison to hit its mark (Listen... my son) I see the darkness surround The shape on the ground The killer straight up And a body face down (Firstborn... last one) I hear the din of the screams Sorrow in streams The smell of farewell and gasoline (Listen... my son) I see a heart set free And my legacy Hear a voice from a shadow that is beckoning me (Firstborn... last one) (Listen...) I wish it didn't I wish it didn't I wish it didn't I wish it didn't end this way. I wish it didn't I wish it didn't I wish it didn't I wish it didn't end this way. I wish it didn't I wish it didn't I wish it didn't I wish it didn't end this way. I wish it didn't I wish it didn't I wish it didn't I wish it didn't end this way. I wish it didn't I wish it didn't I wish it didn't I wish it didn't end this way. I wish it didn't I wish it didn't I wish it didn't I wish it didn't end this way. Live a life in hell Through a mortal shell asphyxiating smell For a crime lifetime Imagination locked in a cell And to the other firstborn, I see the same scene That must play over in your mind And now how much more I'm sure it's fucked with your head Just like it's fucked up mine. "Listen, my son... Firstborn, last one" The message you Sent out to me I cannot change What's meant to be The message you Sent out to me I cannot change What's meant to be What am I supposed to do now? I hear the sound of a heart From the shadow in the dark Waiting for the poison to hit its mark (Hit its mark... hit its mark...) I see the darkness surround The shape on the ground The killer straight up And a body face down (Body face down... body face down...) I hear the din of the screams Sorrow in streams The smell of farewell and gasoline (Listen...) I see a heart set free And my legacy Hear a voice from a shadow That is beckoning me (My son...) I hear the sound of a heart From the shadow in the dark Waiting for the poison to hit its mark (Listen... my son) I see the darkness surround The shape on the ground The killer straight up And a body face down (Firstborn... last one) I hear the din of the screams Sorrow in streams The smell of farewell and gasoline (Listen... my son) I see a heart set free And my legacy Hear a voice from a shadow That is beckoning me (Firstborn... last one) Firstborn You are the last one... Firstborn

Old love my favorite Klayton favorite best song for all time Thanks for my adventure to music Elysium

[@melissajade7717]

Like how it breaks off into a lil Psytrance section for a second. Best kind of Industrial Metal... It mixes like 5 different genres in this song.

[@PhilMcCool]

Reminds me of Unreal Tournament in the late 90's / early 2000's.

[@glffmn2339]

Same for totally (maybe?) different reasons. I pitched this song to use in a UT frag vid UT Immortalz 2 and it ended up in it! I think it had been someone elses suggestion before me and thats how I still revisit this song to this day... :) some of the UT music did use similar instruments though! 303 and electric guitar and synths of the era.

[@PhilMcCool]

@glffmn2339 That video is great. Yeah, this song sounds like the kind of music they used in UT, and it has that edgy futuristic vibe that certain nu metal and electronic music had at the time.

[@marknaidyshev505]

This song is in my play list since 2006. True masterpiece, along with 'we will never die' and 'switchback'. Many thanks from Russia with love!

I'm going to tell ya'll a story of how I discovered Celldweller. This song right here stood out to me. I heard it on a game called Crackdown for the Xbox 360. I got obsessed with Celldweller after hearing this. Then I got my gf and friends into Celldweller and they are still fans til this day. You damn right I love Celldweller.

[@taiya001]

[@Markye_Takamoto]

5:42 - I rememeber finishing that full of energy part, me like dancing agresively and randomly to it, and literally thanking mentally the song for those "tired sounds" for they allowed me to get ready for the epic finnale.

[@brandonearman1168]

one of my all time favorite tracks since I heard it '03-04'ish! I had never heard anything remotely like it... really opened me up to electronic music as a youngster.

[@J.00a]

His other song “New Elysium” from “End Of An Empire” album, kinda reminds you of this one. This one is by far superior, but that one is pretty awesome as well.

[@zenmorte2793]
