Lyrics:
A condeming fear strikes down
Things they cannot understand
An excuse to cover up weaknesses that lie within
Lies
Laying your guilt and pain
On people that had no part in the molding of a life
That creates its destruction
Lies
Right before your very eyes
A reflection of the mistakes
To the end you will deny
Your part in the demise of a life
Lack of comprehension
Thriving on your cliche
Compelled by self-resentment
[Solo: Schuldiner]
Reaching into the minds of those that created
The depression in which they
In which they drowned their flesh and blood
Lies
So easy to blame the
Everlasting fear on a pathetic attempt
To justify the ending of life
Lies
Right before your very eyes
A reflection of the mistakes
To the end you will deny
Your part in the demise of a life
Lack of comprehension
Thriving on your cliche
Compelled by self-resentment

[@aita45]

Fun fact: Chuck said this song is about Judas Priest's Stained Class trial. Chuck was very upset about how parents of dead kids made their "pathetic attempt to justify the ending of their lives" by suing Priest for "inserting suicidal messages" onto Better by You, Better than Me song and laying their guilty and pain onto them, yet they deny their impact on lives' end (which is neglicient raising and ignorance). Also he was sad that this resonance trial promoted stupid "metal is Satan music" stereotypes (everlasting fear).

[@Junkmaster3]

The great thing about Death is that they didn't release a single bad album!

[@ayaanbretmitchell9830]

Hmm beg to differ If you're really into death metal...'Human' was when they were at their best personally. 'Symbolic' wasn't a death metal record although labelled as one. It was more thrash. Them everything afterward was not good at all. They're ok records just not death metal .

[@ayaanbretmitchell9830]

@Vengeance * Nope. When symbolic was released Death Metal as a genre was defo beginning to wane. You say Chuck didn't like to categorise? Well unfortunately an album still needs to be labelled and moreso in this year. All kinds of Nu metal (which is awful) was being born so bands had to change. Symbolic no matter what you or anyone else says (although with some good songs) sounded different to Human in many ways. I honestly don't think it's a Death Metal record- it's thrash. And actually the songs sound much much older than Human. Human to this day sounds fresh. Symbolic on the other hand could have been released in the 80s you'd never know.

[@ayaanbretmitchell9830]

@Vengeance * I don't get it. Yes stop going on about it. I made a comment which focused on the genre side of things. As most extreme metal fans can be the toughest critics. I know as I have been a metal fan 30 years. You're going off on some whimsical God like player and band etc whereby I'm focusing on the genre side of things. It's not a death metal record. Shall I say it again? It's not a death metal record. I shall await your response as why I should open my mind and accept it as mucic full stop. Lmao. Oh it's not a death metal record.

I got old memories of Death. Around the release of 'Human", me and a couple friends submitted the lyrics of this song to our teacher (we're belgians). She translated it for us said something like 'These are nice lyrics about understanding, I bet the music must be nice and sweet..." which amused us to no end, as we were 15 years old metalheads. But it still got me thinking more deeply about the lyrics and realize that even if a song could sound mean and brutal, the meaning could be deep and meaningful, and inspire people to be good and respectful of others. RIP, Chuck. Your music did make me a better person, I think.

[@user-pdogiP78V]

I remember we had a project in my 1st year High School English class, to bring a song in and have the class listen to it, and to go over the lyrics and the meaning. Being the metal head I was, I wanted to use something heavy. I ended up using Cemetery Gates, a song about losing a loved one and learning to cope with it. Teacher didn't like the music much, but I think she appreciated the message.

I know its hard to believe but a 100% true story. Nobody heard of them at that point. I went to the show cause of their flyer I seen on wall of the club a week prier during another show. Death was so fucking incredible and so nice and down to earth and so fucking loud omg. they gave all of us their Scream Bloody Gore Cd's. I still have it to this day. The next time they came was the "Leprosy" tour and that place was fucking jammed packed as you can get it and had the biggest pit I've ever seen in such a club. I MISS THOSE DAYS.

Man, you're so full of shit! So, on one hand Death were these guys no one has ever heard of, but still they had their first album printed on CDs. In 1987. Do you even know that the band were unable to play the ONE VINYL they got from the record company because it was poorly packaged and was deteriorated during shipment? So the band get a lousy vinyl to share between the four of them, but you and the other people at the venues get CDs.

Read those gods damned lyrics. Consider the implications of their meaning in this age of COVID-19. So many have stood on the edge of the pit. They saw the corpses of their families, friends, and neighbors burning at the bottom. So many of those piles of ash had unshakeable faith in their deity of choice, rock solid conviction their freedom of choice was sacrosanct, convinced that said deity of their choice would bear them aloft to glory, and happily cast themselves into the air over the flames, and fell to ruin. So many looked upon the flames and decided those burning were fools, not for leaping in faith, but for having faith too weak to protect them, then they admired their own faith, faith like _iron,_ and cast themselves into the air over the pit, and fell. So many had fallen in. So many had been pulled in by regretful jumpers. So many were shoved in by the hateful. So many stand now at the mouth of the pit. And, hatefully, the comprehesion _still_ fucking lacks.

It had the first glance appearance of just another run of the mill 80s metal band, even the name was slightly dumb, but when press play it unfolds into these mind bending fast and complex song structures that have lyrics that have social awareness and thought. Metal at that time was viewed with stigma that it's listeners were stupid people, and Chuck broke that barrier and he never got the credit he deserved

[@soakedbearrd]

I dont like death metal but I like this....maybe its growing on me?

[@makedragon]

Also Check out Chuck's work as Control Denied, a Death Metal base music with Power Metal vocals.

[@deathlike_silence.0267]

Yeah Death-Base would be more accurate

[@SKRUNKLES]

Probably since hes one of the few death metal vocalists you can understand the first time you hear the song

[@magicblini]

It will, that is what happened to me. After listening to death, i got used to listen to death metal

[@mysteriousDSF]

Death Metal is about effort. Effort into growing out your hair, effort into becoming a beast at your own instrument, creating a piece of art without catchy melodies or danceable grooves, and not seeking validation but acknowledging without a frown if your talent goes overlooked. It's about pride and honour.

[@samuellivingston5255]

mysteriousDSF you get it, that’s all metal has been about 🤘🏻

[@ekthorvd6739]

Clarke Tracey well groove metal has a lot of grooves and it's one of the purest forms of metal

[@kalapoikedeviere7962]

What are you talkin about? This song is pretty danceable!

[@1984schizosturm]

excuse me, but i think death metal is about beautiful melodies and interesting rhythm

[@1984schizosturm]

@@mysteriousDSF well no, I try to stay gentle and kind while beeing absolutely right ;-)

[@thefilmeffect6089]

One of the many great things about Death is that they have such diversity between their albums. You go for the straight up death metal in their first three albums. Then, their next three take you on a journey of progressive death metal. The Sound Of Perseverance is just a journey on it's own. It's so different from the others. It's just a monster of technicality and a mind bending experience to take from beginning to end. They have one of the best discographies in metal history period.

Possessed just coined the term death metal. Stylistically, they were a thrash band from the San Francisco bay area. But the death metal genre is straight up Florida.

[@ericwilliams7374]

@Blasphemer who really knows for sure. Look at all the many religions of this world. At one point in time, the Romans thought their religion was the one true religion, as with the Greeks, and so on. Christianity basically started out as a "cult", and was viewed as a "cult" by other religions during it's rise to "popularity". There may be a "creator" ( we metal heads know there is a band Kreator!!😂😂) but to what is written in a little black book, I don't think so. If there was such a "being", I believe that "it" would have come down here to Earth and slapped us all around a little bit by now for being so stupid as we all act sometimes!!! At least I would like to think so!!! Yes, yes, I know, I know...free will, free will... The father in me says different. I couldn't just allow my children to carry on as we have been. If that all makes any sort of since to you.

[@jeremymull6138]

I am eternally grateful that I got to see Death on their last tour, before Chuck died. 🤘☹️

[@dekkard]

If I would have to rate a "perfect" death metal song it would be this one. The brutal perfection of Sean Reinert, the guitar solos, the slight disharmonic sounds in between to spice things up, the unusual blues intro, the outro with the drumming breaks combined with Hi Hats sounds in them - this song is perfect! 😄

[@seba5837]

Death after 15 year still have BEST lyrics than any other band or style, period

[@MaskedRiderChris]

This was the first indication I ever got that heaviness could coexist with progressive and melodic tendencies, and Chuck brought it together as only he could. RIP, great maestro!

[@soakedbearrd]

Yeah, I think thats why I like it, it has prog elements and great melodies along with brutality and just overall great playing. Only heard two songs of theirs but I like what I hear so far. Death metal for the most part has been a put off for me, but I like this band....they are different. Opeth is ok too

[@damoneubanks9075]

I have sat here and listened to this song about 6 times straight. I can't fathom the hours of work it takes to reach this level of musicianship. Simply amazing. Death's best lineup. RIP Sean and Chuck.

Hello !!! i am the Electric Ace. I play rock and roll. I first met chuck@ "the treehouse" back in 1987-88 and from there we became brothers (our pact with one another is : even after death, go before eternity) in E,A,D,G,B,E... His army and he and used to come up to Pittsburgh ,Pa.(where I was going to college back in 1992-96) and do the metropol quite a bit as unto this day he has a major fanbase and will never be forgotten by the steel commune ! Man, he was just a good soul period as he helped me in more ways i could ever count !!! He introduced me to the bands: Deicide, Iced Earth, The Spooky Kids, Sadus, David Vincent of Morbid Angel, and he was a secret lover of polka, be-bop, improvisational jazz, and classical / baroque guitar forms. After Andy "L" and Joey Dee took him in and he went to euorope, by the time he came back stateside he was immortalized before this level of the metal was accepted as a serious ass art form. We got separated for a while (due to his heavy touring and world-wide acclaim), but were re-united through a mutual freind. I was Then turned onto Mr. eric Grief, the band "Wicked Ways" and munkie who is now holding down in the band called "Korn"... everyone out there, Chuck was the "go to artist" as he was an inspiration2 every opened minded one in this game (YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE !!!) and let us not forget what he always said about human actions : "When all else fails; KEEP ON ROCKIN' !!!"... As far as my words for "Lucky Chucky"; I will see you and Jimi again when the time is right ... R.I.P. with love2 you and the family 4ever ... meinchow ...
