• Disturbed - The Brave ...
It is part of the bonus track collection "The Lost Children" Disturbed released on the 8th of November.
It's a song from Disturbeds new album Asylum - a bonus track which deals with the topic of the famous TV series Dexter. It's about a serial killer whose old friend is the death because his mother died and from this moment on he cannot stop murdering.
Lyrics:
They are the ghosts of innocence
That have awoken from my dreams
Welcome to your nightmare
Say good-bye to everything
All your past obscenities
They have determined where I stand
Echoing cries, in the time that it began
Hear me now
Feel my plea
There is no more time for apologies
Never let emotions
Take hold of me
Are you ready to begin your trip to the other side
Death is an old friend of mine
You can't escape your judgment
I hear them calling out your name
Do not beg for mercy now
You never showed any to them
Embrace your final punishment
There's not a soul to hear you scream
I have to thank you for letting out the animal in me
Hear me now
Feel my plea
There is no more time for apologies
Never let emotions
Take hold of me
Are you ready to begin your trip to the other side
Death is an old friend of mine
The blood became alive
When I was trapped inside
And I can feel the dark passenger coming
My mother's blood and mine
Uniquely intertwined
Help me father put your memory from my mind
My hunger to destroy
When I was just a boy
It pulled me deeper into something that I now enjoy
The ritual begins
Evil will meet it's end
In your destruction I will finally feel whole again
There is no more time for apologies
Never let emotions
Take hold of me
Are you ready to begin your trip to the other side
Death is an old friend of mine
I have become your nightmare
Say goodbye to everything

This song doesn't sound like pointless serial killing, it sounds like killing for revenge. Do not beg for mercy now You never showed any to them Embrace your final punishment Makes me think there is more to it

[@preds43]

Because it is, somewhat. Pretty sure the song is about the show "Dexter" where while yes, the main character is a serial killer, he's also trying to get revenge on the man who killed his mom. I think he does end up getting revenge somewhat early on in the series, too.

[@jpr4212]

My fave song from the Lost Children album. Disturbed are the greatest band ever, they are masters of great chorus lines.

[@davidfellner1119]

The line is "Hear me now, feel my *blade*" This song is an homage to the character Dexter from a book/TV series. Dexter was subjected to violent trauma as a child which caused him to grow up without feeling emotions except for an irresistible need to kill. His adopted father teaches him to recognize people who deserve to die and to only kill them. The show is basically about Dexter carrying a double life as a family man with a wife and kids while going out and killing murderers and rapists in the night, along with periodic musings about what it must be like to have feelings and to be socially connected like everyone else Having said all that, I think this song does an absolutely perfect job in conveying all the bad ass, metal aspects of Dexter (both as a killer and as a person)

[@froze200]

Thx, I´ll recomend the series to a frind of mine. He´s crazy about series, and criminology anyway ^^

[@michaelstuddzz2797]

This came out way before Dexter dumbassasesssesesesesses

[@JerZeyCJ]

@@michaelstuddzz2797 In case you're actually not trolling, Dexter debuted in 2006 and the album Old Friend is on came out in 2010. And that's not even getting into all the *very* obvious allusions to the show and Dexter as a character.

[@dylan18790]

someone should SO make a video of this song with scenes from Dexter... that would be EPIC!

[@tonysoprano85]

This song is just awesome every time I hear it and it's about Dexter.

[@Fr0ggy0987]

2:20 - 2:47 is the best part of any metal song ive ever heard

[@metalblade000]

Fr0ggy0987 I say the whole song bro

[@TheDisturbedPark]

seriously what people hate somethin as epic and awesome as this?

[@phoenixparadox88]

This song got me into the show "Dexter", thank you Disturbed for exposing me to a kick ass show!

[@Nyarlathotep_Flagg]

Death is an "Old Friend" of "Mine". Ironic how well it fits the album it belongs to.

[@TheJesterFacade]

It sounds as if he is saying; "Malevolent emotions" instead of "Never let emotions". It actually makes more sense that way.

[@BonDieu617]

"Never let emotions get hold of me" is "Malevolent emotions take hold of me" (I think). Great work by the way!

[@IncarnateSable]

It is indeed "malevolent emotions", although I thought it was "never let emotions" when I first heard it.

[@IncarnateSable]

He's right XD

[@troyannis1420]

Ya, that's right It's MALEVOLENT, not never let

[@xiphos8219]

It's "never let emotions take hold of me" This song is a reference to the main character of Dexter who is a violent sociopathic serial killer who feels himself void of human emotions and struggling to balance that emptiness with fitting in to normal society and that emotions get in his way of doing what he feels he must. Thus he never lets emotions take hold of him

[@Endrid_Wintersbane]

Disturbed did a song about Dexter....epicness level has reached above gods

[@mindkiller76]

If anyone is wondering: this song was written under the impression from "Dexter" TV series.

[@gabry2328]

We got a disturbed song about Dexter before GTA 6 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥

[@cultured_recruit_legionary]

I can smell the edgyness of those saying “This song describes me”.

[@astarothnyarlathotep3815]

True. But I'd said most us who havn't lived some absurdly soft and cushy life, can at least somewhat understand it. I certainly can.

[@ourlastbasstion]

Describes Dexter bro..

[@meat283]

you know Dexter's laboratory? on carton network? this song is dedicated to him.

[@bigbig101000]

This song is my most favorite from The Lost Children. Disturbed's songs give me Motivation beyond belief.

[@ghostnappa666]

this is the best lyric video, right next to the one disturbed did for the animal, great job. it was perfect in every sense, fucking awesome in it's original meaning.

[@S3RiOSable]

THIS IS THE BEST THING I'VE READ IN 20 YEARS!

[@FirearmEnthusiast]

This song is so fucking badass.

[@ComandanteShepard]

i always imagine this song to be part 2 of innocence

[@jpr4212]

Yet another wonderful song from one of metal's finest ever exponents.

[@Sangheilios666]

This song goes so well with Dexter

[@Fizzbizz]

Man, I wonder when Disturbed will release "Mine", "Three" and "Emptiness"...

[@melissaivy5199]

I prefer "feel my blade"!!!!! That's how deeply heartless people from my life have hurt me!!!!! Yeah I have that old friend to!!!!!

[@DarkBlood177]

I can only imagine the Tail of the God Slayer with this. For those who don't know it The God Slayer was a man who lived a few thousand years ago, he was part of a group of killers who killed for money everyone else prayed for their target and their contractor when they preformed a kill and were all mainly sane. But however one man was nuts he called himself "The Guardian of Insanity" He felt no remorse or regret after a kill and sometimes did it for fun not payment. He never prayed to his gods like the rest of his people. He opened what is called "The Gates of Madness' (Which comes from the legend of the 7 gates) He spoke with its demon inside its guardian who granted him power. He in turn used that power to Climb mount Olympus and kill the gods thus earning the title the God Slayer. He took his place on Zeus's throne and after a few hundred years when Christianity took charge he tore Olympus in half severing it into two mountains and set out to kill the new gods (Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, and so on) It is said the gods feared him so much they chose a Mortal warrior to kill the god slayer to save themselves. Fate (Their Mother was ashamed of her sons that they feared a mortal just because he killed their older siblings being Zeus and the others) She allowed them to choose this Warrior and grand him weapons that would kill the God Slayer. After a long fought war the god slayer fell and bound himself away so that he could return to the mortal world and ascend to the heavens to finish what he started. (God of War got part of their story from this old tail. Its quiet the story really I don't believe it as a non religious man but I enjoy it) The Story foretells he will be bound one day to another human who's equal to his Madness (His reincarnation none the less) Only to escape and return to his Immortal state through the Maddening body he now has. I can see this tail in here because I can imagine him being bound to that person and demanding to be set free "Echoing cries in the time that it began" Being his voice demanding to be set free. "The ritual begins" Being him finally giving in and letting the God Slayer out. "Hear my Plea" Being that he is giving reasons to let him out. "Death is an old friend of mine" Being because the god slayer died once before so he can't again now that he has already died and returned. "Are you ready to begin your trip to the other side" Being he is killing the moral soul of his Host sending them to the other side and in return when he ascends to finish his fight they will be there to help him so the two can fight as one. And pretty much all the lyrics fit this story to a point. Pretty well though out now I doubt that's what its about but none the less it fits.

[@Str0ngSide]

I knew this song was about Dexter. I love it even more.

[@MrNoNameTom]

this might be the best video on youtube

[@frankthetank5468]

When I had first heard this song, it reminded me of Dexter. I didn't know this song was inspired by the show Dexter at first \m/

[@salemblack1410]

Little thing about this song. Its based on Dexter Morgan from the show and novel Dexter

[@ShadowedMage]

I'm normally not really a fan of Disturbed but I really like this track...

[@MrScottCarr]

OK THIS SONG IS ABOUT DEXTER, WE GET IT!

[@robytzu97]

do you live under a rock ? dexter is the most freaking epic tv series ever made :P watch ittt

[@RavenFirewind]

Nicely done. I could swear it's "Feel my blade", though. "Feel my plea" doesn't make sense to me; not from the standpoint Draiman is singing from. :S I miss when Disturbed put the lyrics in their albums' leaflets. T_T Simplified things, lol.

[@magnus00125]

MrVlado17.. You did a great job making this video! Lyrics look so awesome.. :)

[@stevenbyford5615]

Wicked song. Can you do one for "Inside the Fire"?

[@nospaceftw]

Amazing song, and acctually a really good lyrics video, especially loved the ending when the guy goes towards the screen with the RAH scream :P.

[@TheArcadianKing]

Ah, gotta love Dexter.

[@RevenantRag]

Dude, it's the best audio quality other than actually having the album. Go get some speakers.

[@AlexTirisca]

WTF THIS VIDEO IS AWESOME! THIS IS A PURE DISTURBE AWESOMENESS-PACKED VIDEO! I JUST LOVE IT!

[@TheVapixPrototype]

[@ahmadtheaviationlover1937]

I love David's raspy voice!

[@TheEggplantComa]

Disturbed, i hate you...for not releasing this album sooner! disturbed FTW!

[@dcukic]

[@holaholahoy]

[@ChaosLight1]

[@Hirojack]

you sir, are a poet, congrats!

[@THISISSPARTA827]

This should have been the final boss theme for shadow's fight against devil doom, played this song over Turbohog's playthrough, and the result was EPIC!!!! =D

[@Philtehsamuraiwalrus]

damn, those lyrics were done really well

[@THISISSPARTA827]

If they'd used this as the Devil Doom boss track in Shadow the Hedgehog, I'd just play the last story over and over again. =D

[@jasonbarbush4991]

Disturbed is neither bad nor good It just is as it is

[@zZTrickShotZz]

Can't believe they won't be touring for 2 years if not indefinently... But hey, since they are releasing a B side track maybe now they will play these epic songs live! when they do start up again

[@zenkid332]

this guy rocks gust what i feel every time yo

[@jackiemullins4413]

My Favorite Song! I love the back round pics.

[@yomama5990]

this song reminds me a lot of dexter

[@RobertTwelvs]

When I heard the song, i fucking knew that this is meant for Dexter. They should use it on the show.

[@Estillz96]

This song is INSANE!!!

[@brandont1991]

you should do a leave it alone lyrics video next. :)

[@BBrabantGamesLPS]

The bass in this song fascinates and impresses me. o.o

[@BRICK8492]

I love your videos! When are you gonna make more for Disturbed?

[@hrmpf6]

Heh, better than the bonus track at the LE album :P And it sounds more like "blade" to me :/

[@TheAudi2099]

woah.this is easily one of the most bad-ass lyrics vids i have ever seen.Well done!There's only one (possible)error i saw the entire video.I'm not 100% sure, but at 2:32 I think it says "Help me father PURGE THE memory from my mind." again,Im not completely sure but it sounds more sensible and everyone please dont hate,Im just trying to help.If i am wrong(which is possible)and the lyrics i posted are incorrect and yours are corretc,I apologize.

[@MuffledFart]

I love your video's Vlado. Never stop

[@atilla1434]

1:15-1:40 is the best part

[@reaperlight]

Does anyone else think this song sounds like it's about Dexter?

[@samarhello]

I laughed at 0:35 when he did his trademark "ACK" and an image of the guy looking pissed flashed XD

[@ChristianLJB]

Could you possibly tell me what program you used to make this video? I too make lyrics videos, and have been searching for a program to make videos more enjoyable like this one..

[@MrVladoProductions]

When I uploaded this song it was only a bonus track of Asylum and it still is - later they released it also in their bonus track collection "The Lost Children" - of course, I mean it's a bonus track collection :p. ;-)

[@markotuna]

Thix is the coolest lyrics on screen video ive ever seen! And the song is fucking awesome sooo. WHOAAA!

[@CroutonPirate]

I could be wrong, but for some parts, I hear @0:51 '..take hold OF me"; @2:22 "...Dark Passenger CALLING me'; and @2:30 "help me father PURGE your memory..." Like I said, this is based on what I hear when listening to it. What do you guys think?......on another note, EXCELLENT JOB with the video. I Love it A LOT 8D

[@onesicksti2961]

I love racing my Camaro listening to Disturbed...

[@Dragon90293]

wow ..... nice job iv never seen anything like it

[@TarjaRuleZ]

Awesome video.. just few minor mistakes: It's "Feel my blade", not "feel my plea", "malevolent emotions", not "never let emotions", and "take hold oF me" not "take hold on me"

[@16dhampton]

great lyric video, i love Disturbed and im also a big fan of Dexter too.

[@Str0ngSide]

Yup. David said so and even if he didn't, it's obviously about our favorite serial killer.

[@Str0ngSide]

A lot of these lyrics are wrong but other than that, awesome video. By far my favorite song.

[@davidmadureira45]

everyone's going on about dexter, but here i am being reminded of ghost rider

[@santiagopaints]

Disturbed makes me feel like THE ANIMAL that will RISE in THE NIGHT and become a WARRIOR as i will not RUN from the DARKNESS that has STRICKEN many. I am a MONSTER and I'M ALIVE in which i am member of the TEN THOUSAND FISTS that will NEVER AGAIN be TORN. I will fight THE INFECTION and get rid of the VOICES that have SICKENED me, HELL awaits me but i have no FEAR as it is an OLD FRIEND of MINE. My INNOCENCE is not GUARDED but at THIS MOMENT i am a PRAYER from a LAND OF CONFUSION.

[@Lifeagain2123]

The bonus track from asylum was "leave it alone" and that song was redone (in a more brutal fashion) and put in lost children as well.

[@MrVladoProductions]

@ThexRandlex Oh, thank you very much for this information :-) What kind of special edition is it? I have the limited edition with the decade of disturbed dvd and there is no booklet (like in the normal version) - do you have a version with the lyrics of the bonus tracks, too?

[@ocudo]

AWESOME SONG!!! Too bad it wasn't on my album copy...

[@jetherroimanansala9258]

more disturbed....hell yeah!!!

[@JustifiedH8]

Isn't it "malevolent emotions take hold of me?" and "I can feel the dark passenger calling me"?

[@mw2godfather2011]

@MrVlado17 hey dude awesome job. Just 1 question.what is this song about? would appreciate you answering :)

[@VivekCNair-jy4ct]

David, man I can't tell how much I love to hear you!!

[@TOXIN2000]

what album is this from? or is this some bonus track you can only get off of itunes or something?

[@patrickh9070]

nice lyric vid:) loved the RAWR!@0:36 - 0:37 :)

[@Danlikescheesteaks]

when david does that growl and the Guy's face just pops up, it makes me laugh idk why

[@santiagopaints]

Yes, because I am INDESTRUCTIBLE!

[@B3engMarine]

This is from Dexter ! :O

[@B3engMarine]

The series!

[@imadethisaccounttocomment294]

B3engMarine Dexter's laboratory?

[@filhodemoniodogameseduuu709]

Punisher

[@manufran02]

@Synyster995 thats because this song is still in Dan Donegans computer ,which means it will be one of the songs on the next album or so i think.

[@Tirunas]

When I hear this song I think of Spawn, disturbing but kickass.

[@WolfGirl020]

Holly shit this is a awsome song -w-... I do wonder why they never put it on the album?! D:
