Lyrics
The stage is set for the scene
The special guest it must be me cause I'm the only one in this room.
Except for my love, on stage, who's tied up awaiting doom.
-To my surprise suddenly I see
On stage his scene partner is me
So I'll sit down and take my seat
Enjoy the show meant just for me
CHORUS
The torturous rage that's performed on this stage
As I gaze at myself playing this role
(Never felt this way before!)
It makes me feel whole
When I'm in full control
I'm no longer a doll that you own
-She cuts!
Slices, watches the blood drip down his arm just for the rush!
He's confused. What will he do?
No intermission, onto act two!
-I'll string you up
Make you my puppet
Hook in your arms and legs
My special marionette!
CHORUS
You've ruined me
and everything
That used to seem
Pleasant to me
Is now a broken mockery
Nostalgic lost reality
But now it seems within these dreams
The power all belongs to me
And now you know there is no hope!
-So I'll take this knife and slice it through your throat!
-For you there is no hope!
-You've ruined me
and everything
That used to seem
Pleasant to me
Is now a broken mockery
Nostalgic lost reality
But now it seems within these dreams
The power all belongs to me
And now you know there is no hope!
So I'll take this knife and slice it through your throat!
CHORUS

[@pablo-arteaga]

I didn't know you were a fan of FLW too. You keep showing up in the comments of every music video I watch

[@seanregan5591]

I had to search this albums story and holy fucking shit I felt like an asshole once I found out 😰 amazing band that doesn't fuck around when it comes to making their albums, I haven't been disappointed yet and I doubt I will be with these guys

[@tuckera6304]

Two faced charade, council of the dead, and now this. I love it all so much the story telling is amazing and the music gives me shivers. This one of the best bands I've listened to in a while

[@Revivalrecs]

Thank you! Tour announcement coming today! Be sure to go to a show or check out their merch over at famouslastwords.merchnow.com

[@austinfilms1007]

I'm a year late, but if you love story telling I would recommend the band Alesana, they have a similar sound and their third fourth and fifth album are all part of the same story.

[@lizzieswaders]

Does anyone else think this album could be made into a short film like Two-Faced Charade? I think it would be pretty cool.

[@jinxxandava8489]

I damn hope so😍

[@NiceCatsVEVO]

I was thinking the same thing today. It'd be fucking amazing if they did.

[@blakestevenson2535]

I could see it but I would like to see council of the dead more

[@jessebartlett6118]

council of the dead goes through too many different things to be a short film

[@jessehawkins5239]

they said films cost shit tons of money xD and that they already have a script for CotD

[@mickeymabe8381]

remember to buy the CD so they can make more awesome shit like this :)

[@EliWesley]

You guys just can't make a bad song!! You're musical legends.

[@Pepper_Jvck]

2:48 can we talk about how aggressive this short scream part was like holy shit

[@phiphi18390]

[@Revivalrecs]

[@xArBoGameSx4867]

this band just keeps coming out with albums that fit my situations. I want to meet them so bad. I love this song so much and if I could I'd destroy the one who hurt me all those years ago. what that evil guy did to me can never be fixed for the rest of my life. I will have these nightmares forever..

[@FluffiestBunBuns]

[@gabegreenlee938]

[@claytonhux8386]

Looks way too similar to not be at least inspired by it

[@SkarletValentine]

uma das melhores do álbum sem dúvida * - * ♡♡♡

[@fae1361]

I NEED THE LYRICS SO I CAN SING ALONG DAMMIT

[@LeeArttgry]

There’s none to be found for the entire album it’s ridiculous.

[@blue_boy_]

I FUCKING LOVE THIS

[@HereticGrimm]

the first few seconds sounds like 115. lmao. Amazing song on both sides.

[@jadekips]

1.25x speed hits different

[@_festa_insalubre_]

Toda vez no começo da música eu penso q ele ta falando em português: "e se eu disssesse que sim e você jogasse um espelho em mim?"

[@FistSlaminElite1999]

Crying about how i can't see the Incubus Tour cause of no ride to Seattle

[@EL-hv2fr]

ilove FLw

[@neinist]

To me the lyrics explains that she is consumed by hatred and how she wants to kill him so badly. Please correct me or add in any info

[@RsBanez]

that is correct

[@Chelsea-gy3et]

I thought I would tell you I love your profile picture. I love Tokyo Ghoul!

[@neinist]

Chelsea ???? I love Tokyo ghoul too!

[@NiceCatsVEVO]

Me too! I love Tokyo Ghoul. I interpret the lyrics as fed up, angry, hurt, and full of hatred. I feel the same way right now and I can really relate to the lyrics right now.

[@neinist]

Yes I can totally relate to

[@SOBEKCrocodileGod]

I understand why in the end the album’s protagonist chose to not take vengeance in the way this song suggests and how she didn’t wanna “become like him”, but let’s be honest, her husband deserved to suffer like the lyrics in this mention her dreaming

[@raymondbogarin4277]

fucking needed this \m/,

[@jonmichael9379]

This song is in Drop C

[@miguelojeda7587]

when's the concert

[@iamthepatient6929]

Alright, who missed the like button?

[@joedimaggio7728]

love this band but didnt get a chance to do any research on the album but is this a story based album?

[@kelsiecarter4826]

just about all of their albums are, yes. You should really look up what this one is based on. You'd like the album so much more.

[@joedimaggio7728]

Yeah I need to I loved two-faced charades story and when I pieced everything together on council of the dead and how they end that masterpiece of an album I cried at how beautiful it ended. Definently going to look this one up but I at least know from this song and trophy wife it's about a mother from the 50's era who was in an abusive relationship with her husband.

[@SOBEKCrocodileGod]

@@joedimaggio7728 I’m late, but basically it’s this: A woman named Christine’s husband has come back home after World War II. Ever since his return, Christine has been having horrific nightmares of a shadowy figure violating her and toying with her body while she is completely immobile and helpless. Eventually she finds some sort of stash showing evidence of what’s really going on: her husband is a serial rapist, with some victims barely even being teenagers. Not only that, but he has been drugging her and molesting her while she’s unconscious. Christine struggles with the horror, shame, and humiliation, even blaming herself for what’s happened, symbolized by “The Judged”, where she dreams that she is in a courtroom defending against a lawyer saying that it’s her fault her husband abused her. Eventually she realizes that it’s not her fault and she won’t let the abuse and shame break her. Christine also has a “mastery” dream where her husband is just as helpless as she was, and she puts him through sadistic violence and torture to give him a taste of his own medicine and make him suffer like she did. Eventually, Christine’s husband finds out that she knows and tries to kill her or drug her again, so she hides from him. Eventually, she gets the upper hand and her husband is unknowingly open to be attacked. She tries to decide whether to murder and torture him for revenge, or to focus on escaping the house with her son. She manages to find a way to both get vengeance and escape with her son. She gets her hands on the drug syringe that her husband used, and stabs it into him, forcefully knocking him unconscious. She leaves her house safely with her son and vows to never become a monster like her husband.

[@1008Robyn]

OOOOH NOOOOOO THE REPLAY BUTTON IS BROKEN NOOOOOOO :'(

[@felixdominguez8933]

way better than omams album

[@jesserousseau2740]

Me seems like they di it better when

[@YesFrogYes]

I love the album but when politics get involved with music it ruins it little bit. Especially if your view is different

[@claytonhux8386]

BIK3 F0R LIF3 it's a story about domestic and sexual abuse in a toxic relationship set in the 50s. Controversial, sure. But not really political

[@bundlesofjoe]

Straight up stole the drum intro from all that remains
