LYRICS:
These are the words that set me free
We are the last of what used to be
Every breath, every moment, they’re getting closer and closer to me
Stripping my dignity with every brick as it’s broken
Stealing hope from my whole family
Lights out
The path that God has lit grows ever darker but my faith goes further now
I didn’t want to be a fucking martyr, but I can’t put my pen down
I stare through the cracks of my life in slow motion
As my world crumbles down around me, I write the words that set me free
Always glued to the radio - getting lost in the static as the attic is taking its toll
Can’t we all just go?
I’m fucking sick of the inside
We’re alive yet deprived and alone but never on our own
I stare through the cracks of my life in slow motion
As my world crumbles down around me, I write the words that set me free
These are the words that set me free

[@dietermoreno]

I've never heard a metal song about Anne Frank ever before.

[@clefever75]

+dietermoreno You have now! INK killed it too.

[@Raccnnibal]

[@WetNoodles1367]

Well now we have and it's amazing

[@icemonitorlizard]

careful they might hear you

[@thelandoshow711]

THESE ARE THE WORDS THAT SENT ME FREE!

[@sterling9314]

“I didn’t want to be a fucking martyr” that line feels like a punch in the gut every time I listen to this song

[@christanh1646]

The lines “You’re hiding enemies of the state, are you not?” “Yes” “Take me to them” always gives me chills. This song is amazing, much as all the others on this album. INK really is such an underrated band. I think their themes and overall sound is really unique.

[@jameshall6295]

(The states can “fall” out of line, but will never succeed from the union)

[@oscardepaz1196]

Good to know i'm not the only one. It is because you know what is going to happen which makes it tragic.

[@the_furry_inside_your_walls639]

​@@jameshall6295 What does this have to do with the song?

[@wilhelmhause3510]

@@the_furry_inside_your_walls639 absolutely nothing 💀

[@game_masterariana]

Agreed

[@Nonamed70]

The fact that they used anne franks quotes so amazingly well fit into this and that the album is a freaking book, man these guys are the modern poets we needed for years, they are actually becoming my favourite band of all times at this moment, really unbelievably creative and talented guys

[@KJAM4LIFE]

ice nine kills are extremely under rated! They are an amazing band

[@Tinelier]

+The True Kiwi they just changed their style recently, the songs before are.. well.. overfeminised I'd say, guitar riffs change it all !

[@lydiaaa7432]

The True Kiwi i don't know I kind of like being one of few who likes them because it makes us feel like this little group of best friends and also it gives more chances to get tickets to their concerts.

[@KJAM4LIFE]

Too bad they dont come to ireland, cant wait till i get to go to warped and see them live

[@lydiaaa7432]

The True Kiwi well I ain't moving to Ireland any time soon.

[@Ego12Draconis]

And they are about to break through with their newest record

[@HartSickle]

The name of the song is a reference to the Diary of Anne Frank of course, but it is also a reference to another INK song, "The People Under the Stairs", which is from their second album, "Safe is Just a Shadow". That song was based on WWII and the music video based on the films "The People Under the Stairs" and "Inglorious Basterds".

[@claymarchtaler2641]

I always thought that The People Under The Stairs was metaphor for the Jews during the 30’s/WW2. Never seem to see anyone mention that though

[@EmeraldSogeking]

The People Under The Stairs is also a great horror/thriller movie

[@HartSickle]

@@EmeraldSogeking Yeah its more based on that movie than Inglorious Basterds, hence the name of the song being the same. Only the ending of the video is inspired by that movie.

[@brianglaser9215]

Third album

[@krapiak]

ok

[@karelpepels96]

I wonder how Anne Frank would react if she were alive and found out some guys in a metal(core) band just decided to write a song about her.

[@nikolehill7203]

She would be like good job can't what to hear the one about jackyl and Hyde

[@the.edgyhippie]

i love what INK did to her diary ANNE FRANKly, i enjoyed it

[@VoidplayLP]

I kneel down before you pun master.

[@ufukinwotm8434]

[@shamus248]

Daniel Campos you win sir

[@brookedagger8306]

Not gonna lie this song brought a tear to the eye. It's so sad that such a beautiful young girl suffered such a tragic fate for the simple fact of being a Jew. This song definitely shows Anne franks desperation in her two years of hiding and I can't help imagining when the chorus comes in for the last time Anne sitting on the back of a truck being driven away to her fate. Truly bullsy amazing song. Good job

[@JoeyHanna96]

Chris no.2 ♥♥♥

[@kmartwifi4491]

the vocals really portray a feeling of desperation

[@darrenhill3514]

and we have liberals in the US that hate jews...liberals of which Hitler based Nazism off of in the 1930's....we're so fucked. but yes, this song is one in a million and put aside the lyrics, the music itself is so awesome.

[@EscapeTheHector]

@@darrenhill3514 Nope Nazism is based off of an authoritarian far right ideology.

[@darrenhill3514]

@@EscapeTheHector wrong. You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about and have clearly never studied anything about Nazism past an article headline.

[@twilighthaha99]

Why couldn't they have written this song when I was in middle school when the teacher had us read this, so I could tell him to show this to the class?

[@tearduxlama5315]

Real life horror stories always feel deep

[@itsAlexD00d_]

This is so good???? Like I find it super awesome they wrote a song to honor her??????

[@alysa-9072]

Okay, so I looked up the lyrics to this song since it was my first time listening to it, and i think that they interpreted this song so well to fit not only the story of Anne Frank, but the anxieties we now face whether it be discriminatory or social isolation related. I personally enjoyed the lyrics "We’re alive yet deprived and alone but never on our own" they definitely helped me get the whole message of the song through, and I appreciate this song on a whole new level now.

[@LuViiCo]

Well firstly, this song is bloody awesome! and secondly, I never thought in my lifetime I would listen to a metal song inspired by Anne Frank's diary.

[@relentlessohio7222]

Must. Learn. This. On. Guitar.

[@ricardogalion4629]

Did you ever learn it? :)

[@IridescentJess]

yea did you ever learn it, we wanna know

[@yannizo]

IF YOU LEARNED IT!

[@markthedark595]

I miss Hastings. That store was such a great store to get memorabilia for collectors. Also they had a good CD, Movie, and Book collection. RIP Hastings. The best store on Earth.

[@gingerr8015]

Ugh this song is so good it makes me emotional! You can feel the terror and think about what they must have gone through.

[@wolflover10190]

I'm eventually gonna get my friends obsessed with them too. EVENTUALLY. I will. But I also want to keep them my little secret, cause I'm sure no one in my school has any idea who they are, but they deserve way more attention, and stuff, they're so under rated, and it sucks because they're SUCH an amazing band. I love them so much❤️

[@masonice9k47]

+XxIma CatxX (SparklezTheUnicorn) I was like one of 3 kids in my school who knew who they were. I was in a big fucking school too.

[@callumbrown5375]

literally only 2 of my friends in my entire school listen to this genre

[@zackballance2927]

got to see them at warped and meet Spencer. Definitely in my top 2 bands. So glad i stumbled upon them.

[@wolflover10190]

Zack Ballance I'm seeing them live at warped as well! It's in two days, and I'm so fucking excited

[@darthnihilus7951]

Don't worry, in like 5 to 10 years they will be seen as a freakin icon

[@DoinkReacts]

Because filthy casuals dont understand what good music is. They just listen to their dogshit autotune pop and hiphop trash.

[@milkywilkyyy]

Because a lot of people haven't heard of this absolutely amazing band

[@davidrivera6017]

Wish they could have done an official music video for this

[@mikaylaanderson9529]

Man this song is powerful. It's an amazing song in itself and it makes you want to jam out but it's also so much more than that. More people need to hear this!

Congrats on the new album guys!!! All of these songs are fantastic! You have grown so well over the years and deserve so much praise for this new album. Great work!

[@BrianaBonilla]

Totally thought it said "The People In The Stairs" and reminded me of, obviously, The People Under The Stairs which would have been rad because I love that movie! But, it's still amazing and even more amazing that it's inspired by The Diary Of Anne Frank. INK rules.

[@charlesdubruille]

they have a song called the people under the stairs, actually. Check it out!

[@jonwood132]

so the only difference between these two videos versus the one they released yesterday is they took the dialogue away but only for the intro on both songs. Still fucking epic guys. So I'm gonna go and marry this album. well I'm gonna marry them all. fuck it. I'll be polygamist for INK's albums. not a song I haven't loved yet. JD'S high screams. Spencer's low and mid screams and his vocals. Holy fuck. No better combination.

[@gauge9100]

+Jon Wood I believe they accidentally uploaded the album versions of the songs. That's why they got taken down.

[@jonwood132]

Ahhh. That would make sense.

[@kellycrowley8716]

+Jon Wood i feel ya. just found them actually and im wondering how i havent before

[@joeypeltier8143]

What was the other song that removed the dialogue at the beginning?

[@tristananvilcaster]

+Gauge Stibbs No they were actually threatened for a lawsuit lol for using the audio from other clips and movies, which is fucking stupid but still amazing songs without the talking!

[@rowenak7691]

+Tony D'vec haha I did show it to him and he said the lyrics were great and he liked how it were inspired by Anne frank but he refused to actually listen to it no matter how much I tried lmao.

[@masonice9k47]

It'd be really cool if they did a music video for this song because of the old video with The People Under The Stairs, but I guess it also might be repetitive.

[@Dizkraka182]

I wish they could have kept the dialogue

[@CASEYM21dillon]

The People Under the Stairs pt 2 in an odd way.

no this is about Anne Frank

what quotes are y'all talking about

[@KerimLuca]

+king charlie Originally there was some audio of Anne Frank diary quotes in the intro and right at 2:34 (before the dialogue/breakdown starts) which they probably removed due to copyright claims. If you listen to the Spotify version of the album they're still there.
