Lyrics
Ladies and gentleman of this jury
I am here today to bring this criminal to justice
One who’s crimes are so heinous and evil
That If I had the power of the almighty
I’d sentence her soul to hell!
-You’ve been accused of this horrid abuse
Advocate your lies and hide behind your bruise
I’m not the culprit I’m the victim of perjury
I swear I’m innocent cause I’m the one who’s-
-Guilty of the atrocities!
There’s her confession, let’s get on with the sentencing!
That’s bullshit! He’s the one who defiled me!-
-See she admitted it!
Honor you must convict!
I guess it’s hard to see who is to blame
Stuck on the outside looking in
Humiliation fuels my shame
Want to shed off my skin
CHORUS
So discredit me and take it all
Because it seems I’m destined to fall
Disparage me and make the call
Deep down I know it’s not my fault
I’m not to blame
How could I ever have asked for this?
So do your worst I’ll stand up tall
And I’ll never feel guilty at all.
-It’s clear she instigated it
Sprits of Chanel and her cherry lipstick
Used to tempt us with her smile
Over promiscuous, dissident
Harlot’s calamity
Order the penalty now!
Give her what she deserves
Lured him in with provocative beauty
She’s done it before
And she’ll do it again, trust me!
You’re all so blind,
How can’t you see his argument’s enormity?
I’ve lost my faith in society,
How could you do this to me?
(To me!)
CHORUS
I will wake up I will fight
Back to reality!
-I’d like to see you try.
What a shame, I hope you said your goodbyes.
I will prevail or I will die!
-Lock the cage throw away the key
Settle in because you’ll never be leaving
Lock the cage throw away the key
You will suffer here
You will never leave!
Lock the cage throw away the key
Settle in because you’ll never be leaving
Lock the cage throw away the key
You will suffer here
You will stay asleep!
You’re all so sick
But now I see
This horrid dream is all just me
Blaming myself for this tragedy
But now I see it clearly
CHORUS
Guilty of sin
Judgment for crimes committed
Guilty of sin
-(Guilty of sin!)
Judgment for crimes committed
Guilty of sin
-(Guilty of sin!)
Judgment for crimes committed
Guilty of sin
Judgment for crimes committed
Guilty of sin
Judgment for crimes committed
Guilty of sin
Judgment for crimes committed.

This song is absolutely brilliant. Take aside the concept album as a whole, which is honestly my favorite of theirs, and you get a well-written song about a woman coming to terms with her husband drugging her. And the fact that JT switches between screaming and singing to differentiate between the wife and husband is BRILLIANT.

[@ZVYW]

Pretty sweet. Similar to what Rush did in 2112.

[@itsonlyhugs9486]

That ending was new and refreshing, something not done by FLW and it was perfect. This album needs to hurry, love this band so much.

[@jtflw]

Glad you liked it. Would you mind sharing the video??

[@jkissinger2]

I continuously rewind to the beginning of the ending, it's that damn good.

[@bradyp8868]

Alice So the way i interpret the lyrics is that she was raped or sexually abused in someway, and that the whole court room scene is her way internalizing the conflict with herself. The conflict many victims of such things have with themselves. A mental back and forth of "Well you asked for it because you werr wearing that thing", "But how would me wearing that mean i asked for it, that's bullshit" And the end of "Guilt of sin, judgement for crimes commited" is her falling down into herself mental. The conflict she was having has reached a climax and she is ultimately blaming herself for the sins and the crime as a whole. Hope that helps :)

[@mabelespinasolet1759]

what about it?

[@jacobrixen5437]

It's interesting to see that this Lyric video is kind of a half-musicvideo. Like, it actually tells and visualizes some of the story in the background. For example, you can see that she fled out of the house from her husband.

[@danielrockles1421]

As I know its not her husband,she was maid or something like that Then he aspired her Not sure tho,but that's what i heard

[@jacobrixen5437]

hmm, now i'm not quite sure either. I remember having heard that it was her husband who was abusive, but i've also heard that her husband was trying to help her with the nightmares and such? Really, i don't know. Let's just wait for the album (the 30.th September) and see :D

[@Humble197]

+Jacob Rixen jt talked a little about it its a woman from the 1960s dealing with nightmares. guessing from the incubus (look up incubus) the husband took her to therapy but also treated her badly for doing so same with therapist

[@jacobrixen5437]

Yeah, i heard somewhat the same. I hadn't heard about the therapist thing though. Thanks for sharing information/insight :D

[@ngxinloo3323]

this song makes me think of Arab's problems with women. When the women got raped, it's the women being guilty, not those bastards that rape them.

[@jessebartlett6118]

1. How are they not more popular? 2. Is this made by the same people who did ice nine kills lyric videos for bloodbath and me, myself and Hyde?

[@jessebartlett6118]

Ignore my second question, I asked it before I read the description like a dumbass

[@thelastdaybreathinginetern1385]

I'm so proud of myself. I know how to play the whole song on guitar, and its the first song ever I learned by ear.

[@Revivalrecs]

That's awesome! We would love to hear it!

[@viciousoz4188]

i finished my first song by ear 3 days ago. now im just trying to tab it out. The song is Victim of the Virtuoso btw. planning on making a cover later on (:

[@jonmichael9379]

I would make a cover, but my equipment sucks.

[@viciousoz4188]

same. im trying to find the best way to cover the song without it sounding like crap. also trying to find a way to fit in both guitars and sync the song up. but its almost impossible with just a phone.

while i miss the overall heavy sound of Two-Faced Charade (deep-ass screams, violins, pianos, cellos, etc) this sound seems like it could get them even more attention bc while it's more radio-friendly, it still sounds really good

I've never seen such a growth in a band, from their first debut album all the way to this. Every album they made it better, every album they made the story deeper and every album they found a way to make the composition of the songs better. I'm so excited to listen to the rest of this album.

I keep picturing the husband being dragged out of court kicking and screaming in rage at the end, even though I don't think that's how it ended, but I love this all the same.

Criminally underated band

[@rimcherti597]

This song, and lyrics video, are by far and with no exaggeration, THE BEST PRODUCTION i have ever seen in my entire life. The lyrics are amazing, the rythm amazing, the storyline touching ... No wrongs . How are FLW not popular ?No idea ...

[@beccalarch7450]

I fucking love this band, they tackle such sensitive issues and concepts amazingly.

[@musicalraven6078]

i know, i love how they're albums tell a story like council of the dead and two faced charade

[@funkyspacerat]

I love Famous Last Words so much! They aren't the kind of band that goes to a recording studio and says "Hey, let's make an album!" They bring twelve songs, and a story. The stories arent just thrown together either, they're well thought out, and entertaining. I always listen to one of their albums at least 5 times before trying to guess the story, and I'm almost always wrong. (I was wrong with Council Of The Dead and The Incubus, but Two-Faced Charade was kinda obvious) I hope they gain more popularity, and make even more great stories and albums!

[@warriorsorb1111]

Shoot, I'm still trying to understand The Incubus story. I misunderstood the Council of The Dead album on a few songs; The Fog, The Killing Zone, The Uprise, and My Life Before My Eyes. I mildly figured out the first part of the Incubus but from Maze In My Mind and further, I'm still stuck.

[@ZahinHossain]

this is the absolute best lyric video I have ever seen

[@Rushingdash]

3 AM never felt so refreshing

[@flamerun1086]

your guys' albums are always the best tbh. i love that they tell a story, and you guys jave a sound thats just awesome. the end of this song is great bc its something different as an ending that doesn't feel like the song is calming down (the instrumentals there are fire)

[@xArBoGameSx4867]

this band especially this album, it fits me perfect. when I was a child I abused by an evil stepbrother for two full years.. he took his anger out on me, I couldn't eat unless he said, when parents weren't home and now 13 years later I suffer from anxiety and somniphobia and can't sleep and fear my nightmares of those two years.

[@zugmabolz5207]

That intro was fucking sick. you're getting back to two faced charade quality.

[@akbartriono_]

The Judged: "In 'The Judged,' just like many dreams, Christine suddenly appears in a new place. She is now in a courtroom filled with her neighbors from the party. In this song, the singing parts are Christine, and the screaming parts are the lawyer accusing her. She is the defendant on trial and her husband is the plaintiff. She is being tried for being the victim of sexual/ domestic assault. In this nightmare, everyone is against her and is blaming her, even though she is the victim. Throughout the song you can see the development of her realizing the absurdity of the whole situation. This is all shown throughout the three pre-choruses especially. In the first pre-chorus she is more scared and confused than angry; "I guess it’s hard to see who is to blame stuck on the outside looking in. Humiliation fuels my shame. Want to shed off my skin". Then in the second pre-chorus she starts really realizing how wrong the whole situation is and she becomes rightfully more defensive: 'You’re all so blind, How can’t you see his argument’s enormity? I’ve lost my faith in society, How could you do this to me?' And by the third pre chorus, she realizes that this is all still just a dream and she has had enough. She realizes that these people are just manifestations of her own insecurity and self blame. It's supposed to show how absurd it is that she is in any way blaming herself for what happened: "You’re all so sick but now I see this horrid dream is all just me blaming myself for this tragedy but now I see it clearly." Many victims have a tendency to blame themselves, and the point of this dream is to help her realize that that is absolutely preposterous. The chorus is really what sends the central message of the song, 'So discredit me and take it all because it seems I’m destined to fall. Disparage me and make the call. Deep down I know it’s not my fault I’m not to blame. How could I ever have asked for this? So do your worst, I’ll stand up tall and I’ll never feel guilty at all.' The song ends with the people in the courtroom chanting 'Guilty of sin, judgement for crimes committed' over and over again, which sets up the next song, 'How The Mighty Mock The Weak.'"
