*CHILDREN OF BODOM* - Platitudes and Barren Words Lyrics: I'm broken, you're bent I laugh while you repent Threw punches never left a dent Kick and scream you can feed the flame Put out the fire it's all the same Just either clock out or stake your claim C'mon just lay it on the line You're running on fumes and out of time It takes more to be convincing Than platitudes cause your words are wearin' thin I rush you stall Here we go you're on a roll Driving me right up the wall Emotions left ripped at the seams The game is over or so it seems But sticks and stones won't break your fuckin' routines C'mon just lay it on the line Cut me a break don't take your time I'm up for laying down the swords Just no more platitudes or barren words I'm filled to the brim What's one more deadly sin? To lose or win Should I frown or grin C'mon just lay it on the line You're running on fumes and out of time It takes more to be convincing Than platitudes cause your words are wearin' thin I'm filled to the brim What's one more deadly sin? To lose or win Should I frown or grin

[@jeffberridge176]

Hearing this music means so much more now knowing it’s the last of his material we’ll ever get to hear. I thought nothing of it when this video came out, but he doesn’t look well at all. It’s bittersweet to think that he continued doing what he loved for himself and for us, despite his suffering. Admirable courage.

[@oneoutstrider]

Hopefully we get to hear some Bodom After Midnight songs that were recorded recently as well. R.I.P. Alexi Laiho, an absolute legend! The legacy lives in our hearts forever! 🙏🤘
