Fire From The Gods - Excuse Me (Acoustic)

Purchase the album here: RiseRecords.ln...
Look what I’ve found. Come get down. It’s that revolution sound. Call it second emancipation, break these chains and let me out. It’s not violence I’m on about, but riot boots still hit the ground. Lower the gun put down the whip, take a step back hear me out. I am fanatic, employ guerilla tactics. Open up this lyrical automatic and put holes in your rhetoric. It’s archaic, kind of chaotic, almost barbaric, but yet you stand and you swear by it. And I’ve been readily, steadily waiting for a chance to resist. The devil is a liar, topple the empire, blood sweat tears and desire. I put my heart into this. Never forget I’m a soldier. I will not be conquered.
I can’t walk this road forever, and I can’t forget the past. My soul is under pressure, and it killing me. It’s destroying me within, my need for emancipation. My soul is under pressure, and it’s killing me.
Life, liberty, pursuit of happiness, equality and justice for all. Now you know you lying.
You on that shotgun philosophy. Celebrate the tragedy. Build an effigy high to the heavens to remind me and blind me. Turn the whole world into my enemy. Control my destiny and drain all my energy. It’s insane to me. Got the whole nation sedated and medicated, a testimony to the violence, yet you still give me that ghetto education, basically priming me to feed me to the prison industry.
I see all of the cowards, the greed, the need to hold control over me. Break these chains, end the power. I’d rather you give back what you stole from me.
I can’t walk this road forever, and I can’t forget the past. My soul is under pressure, and it killing me. It’s destroying me within, my need for emancipation. My soul is under pressure, and it’s killing me.
Excuse me Mr. officer, come out of my sector, no need to stress, no need for vex.
Yo, excuse me your honor, fuck the drama. No apologies, I save that for my mama. Take my name off of the docket. Drop all these charges. All it took was a spark, all it took was a catalyst. Martin said it best, I live a life with no violence, so I speak up, no longer silent. I begin to see. My third eye is opening. My resolve is strengthening. I yearn to be free.
I can’t walk this road forever, and I can’t forget the past. My soul is under pressure, and it’s killing me. It’s destroying me within, my need for emancipation. My soul is under pressure, and it’s killing me.
Excuse me Mr. officer no need for war. Trying to drain my energy, but you can’t keep me down.
I can’t walk this road forever, and I can’t forget the past. My soul is under pressure, but it won’t kill me.

[@xMiyazakiAkira]

the "rasta" "Jamaican" vocal sound is so unique and interesting in this type of music genre stuff!

[@GhostCollective]

xMiyazakiAkira if you like how fftg uses reggae influence, early POD and skindred we’re doing this fusion almost 20 years ago now 😄 islander is another great band with a similar vibe

[@renzmetal6158]

yeah i agree, i like it

[@alexgauld54]

Ghost in the Machine I’ve been waiting to see someone mention Skindred! I know that early Sevendust has that Rasta sound, but Skindred really mixed those styles up well

[@dthorsen88]

Skindred

[@DTKid2010]

holy shit this sound and these lyrics are incredible

[@tylerhughes7364]

Dimitri Sendo saw them live a few days ago at warped tour, if you have the chance go see them his voice is the same as his studio.

[@DTKid2010]

Tyler Hughes I'm going to San Diego and fully intend on seeing them. So fuckin stoked about it too

[@thefwinaught]

His voice is one of the most emotionally impacting voices I have ever heard. I also like the band as a whole but I do feel the majority of songs are carried by the vocals more than anything else, I predict these guys will eventually produce as song that explodes.

[@nerzenjaeger]

lol, get a room.

[@CaptSpaulding666]

This is a awesome song that exploded (not acoustic) and fizzled out, hopefully they will come back with a vengeance after Louder than Life 2019

[@treyman93]

You might like Sevendust... If you haven't heard them already

[@joaquinpineda8460]

The Reggae feels are strong in this song and I love it 😍😍😍😍

[@101Dush]

Joaquin Pineda so much so that it reminds me of P.O.D

[@ChristopherLandonPhotography]

4 years later and I hope you’ve come across skindred

[@FlyingJustToFall]

So fcking amazing. One of the best acoustic versions of a heavy song ive ever heard.

[@Dustinchugs]

FlyingJustToFall My favorite acoustic before this one was probably Gone by Sevendust from their Time Travelers and Bonfires album

[@jessicaduffy7950]

I agree

[@senjustanley9965]

FlyingJustToFall listen to empty throne by ALAZKA. IT WILL CHANGE THE WAY YOU SEE ACOUSTIC COVERS.

[@renzmetal6158]

Godsmack's acoustric album have wicked songs on it.

[@markzamudio3913]

We need a narrative acoustic album!

I always come back to this song, best acoustic rock song I’ve ever heard

[@illnino4545]

Jesus Christ can be the emancipator! Love this song.

[@caseyfelella7450]

This song is a call to arms for humanity as a whole.

[@valgorath]

The chorus always does it for me in this song, acoustic or original.

[@patrickbaillargeon7568]

This version is so rhythmically appealing it's astounding. I never would have thought a metal song would sound so good done in acoustic with reggae like vocals. I genuinely want more of this in my life

[@abinardmeatloaf1070]

His cleans are so godly good! Like holy shit, wish more bands had strong vocals like this band!

[@hoagiemacinctosh]

Why the hell are these guys so great on acoustic 🤘🏻

[@cameronb8131]

This sent shivers down my spine. I love Fire From The Gods and the power and emotion in this is insane. The vibes from this are fucking unreal and i would love to hear more acoustic stuff from them like this

[@lhchong7382]

1:38 the octave drop and then the surge of emotion in his voice, "all of you cowards", damn the impact

[@leemahoney5131]

I played the wheels off the original. When i heard this stripped down version i lost my mind and it probably now has equal or more listens that the original. Great band and a fantastic singer

[@vforvital9369]

man. this vocalist is so special. so proud of this band getting on a real label. saw them years ago unsigned and saw something in them then. they made a big move to be a real level band and I'm excited for their future

[@therealforestelf]

how can you not feel this. I shed a tear every darn time I listen to this song, just wow!

[@anon8538]

I met him, fell into him on stage, sang this song into the mic. One of the best nights ever. Also, I'm 6'2", he dwarfed me.

[@MrKhaosKevin]

I'm 6'2 also. Did a selfie with him and my brother in Detroit this past year, yeah, he's at least 6'6. lol

[@aluminumtide4542]

Both versions are absolutely amazing! For this being their first album.. God Damn, can't wait to see what the future holds for these guys!!

[@malakian1988]

Whaaaaaa, amazing :) My headphones are not loud enough for this song. I'm just seconds away from crying about the beauty Of this work. Please, make some more Acoustic versions.

[@machonacho44556]

I do like the original version more but this does have a really cool feeling to it

[@MeanMazi]

macho nacho this almost feels like a whole different song. Both great.

[@treyman93]

First time hearing the acoustic... My mind is blown!!! Both versions sound awesome.

[@FeesLittleWorld]

This voice is touching me so deeply. I love the acoustic version way more, because his voice stands out way more. 🖤

[@TobyKBTY]

Whoah man this is an AWESOME version. Still keeps the heaviness and hard-hitting parts despite being acoustic. Vocals are on point.

[@Jay-pu4mf]

This is one of the songs where both versions are equally the shiznittt

[@hampus6647]

Just found this song on spotify the other day, and I cant stop listening to it! It's freaking amazing! 01:40 - 02:00 still makes me shiver! Please make more acoustic songs

I'm 80/100 with this version, I love both versions.

PS: End Transmission NEEDS an acoustic version. DO IT

[@leomelgar2438]

+Rich Tits I agreeeee

[@SadCat-gd7td]

Rich Tits we need to check it's temperature then

[@ryanedens7960]

Seen them on the 11th at the house of blues in Chicago and got to meet them...they were all nice and humble to the people that came up to them..aj was singing excuse me and I was so close that when he handed the mic to the crowd I screamed all I had into it..it was amazing...can't wait to hear more from these guys.

[@_drebeatsyou]

This version just does something to you. Makes you feel this song a lot more than the original and there's nothing wrong with the original either but god damn does this acoustic version rock harder. Been playing the hell out of it since it came out. I love FFTG and hope they come out with more songs like this

[@ivannavi1708]

The lyrics is one of a kind... Sometimes rock lyrics says more rather than other genre. I'm not discriminating other genre but that's what I see

[@limi.]

Both the version sounds great. 👍

[@joshgeorge5517]

these reggae vibes are bangin!

[@fredrikbm4443]

This man is such an inspiration in to deal with what's so upside down in our world today. When someone just has that feeling in the voice not just professional and all but the realness. Or whatever can't find right words but anyway love fire from the gods and things like this gives me some hope of better days.

[@AtlasAvalon]

Turning this song into acoustic really went well. Insane lyrics and vibes.

[@nowanmai]

Absolutely perfect sounding!

[@seriousjoker2108]

Straight up this song sings to ur soul it’s amazing

[@allnickstaken]

this is perfection, and cant get better

[@robertbayless1099]

Honestly between the original and this I am lost for words especially with this version the message gets through 100% no matter what you listen to

Omfg this version is beyond perfection

[@samwilson2250]

Awesome song, can't wait to hear more from these guys. This second album is gonna be great

[@ESU77]

" My soul is under pressure and it's killing me" ....... I'd rather you give back what you stole from me"

[@DarkKnightofHeaven]

It just occured to me but I would love to hear these guys do a cover of 'What it's like' by Everlast

[@ablindwalrus]

Ever since Howard left KSE I have been looking for band could fill that powerful voice... imo these guys have far surpassed them already and can't wait to see what the future holds for them!

[@omgitsrobsandy]

b buz Check out Dreamers Don't Sleep by Dreamshade. Their vocalist has a definite Howard vibe about him in that song, it's so sick!

[@anoceanbetweenus89]

b buz slow down, pump the brakes. This is excellent but Howard was part of movement like none other and he transformed metal.

[@deadscene666]

listen to bad wolves_ learn to live the lead singer was considered for kse before they got Jessie back

[@DxtEppieDoe]

Devin Townsend

[@MrBlobblers69]

Bro, you seriously need to check out Light The Torch's new track. Chorus is pure Howard Jones magic.

[@daveharman8202]

Great song. A very talented band all around. All their songs are quality.

[@bousin12]

Wow guys this acoustic version sound amazing!! Keep bring our's new stuff, verry good band!

[@codosanuka]

I really liked the original version, one of the best song on the album, but this!!! holy moly, this song is on fire, it has a different vibe but all the same it is awesome! I really praise you guys, because you put out awesome music and make the world a better place just with your music. Keep up the awesomeness hope to listen to you guys live once!

These guys, and Fever 333, need to tour, together!

[@artyknighto6052]

Possibly my favourite acoustic song at the moment... possibly...

[@lukebailey3023]

love his vocals sooo much man is savage

[@TruTheory]

i love when bands actually do awesome acoustic versions, like when incubus did an acoustic simple shade of green, summer romance (anti-gravity). this band made this acoustic version dope af, and possibly better than the original good job guys.

[@BenDogCerberus]

I love this band, but this acoustic touch is gold, I would kill for an acoustic live or an original acoustic ep

[@bryleicraig6658]

Sends me chills

[@ctrusz995]

I like this more than the original because you can hear more of their voice fluctuations and general passion through emphasis.. as if it could be any more passionate lol

[@SadCat-gd7td]

This is one of the song I can't stop singing
