Lyrics:
A warning to the world
We all lived here, we all died here then it was over
The ground and animals burned
The world continued to turn
This earth was green and blue. No longer me no longer you.
This world has turned its back to us. We could have all been saved.
The earth itself looks down on us. This gaping hole will be our grave.
My love will be felt
Praying for heaven but begging for hell
The cut still stings. We ruined everything.
Imagine the overgrowth as your body begins to decompose
The mind lives on, but the body dies.
Where do I go when I die?
Will you miss me when I’m gone?
We cannot escape.
All of your dreams have come true; out of love.
All of your dreams have come true. We have failed you.
The mouth of the world will swallow us whole.
We all die slow
Silence is the only sound the fire burns it to the ground
Picking muscle from bone. We were here but no one will ever know.
Failure will follow you wherever you may go. Into the light, Into the grave.
Failure will follow.

Just…good grief man, already commented but I just love this so much. This feels like the end they’ve been moving towards for a long time now. Not that I think they should be at their end! But there’s been hints of this coming and I’m so glad it did. Also want to say: Kevin’s drumming is so fucking perfect….it’s not over-the-top busy and distracting from the cold atmosphere of succumbing to an inevitable fate…it enhances it so much and adds such perfectly timed power and emotion. I often don’t find percussion to be able to convey much emotion but holy shit Kevin does, on tracks like this and on 2014’s “observer”. Vincent’s vocals have just become God-tier. They’re intelligible and full of so much raw feeling. Not trying too hard to be brutal or heavy and at the same time about as heavy and the sad kind of angry (I feel this too) as it’s possible for a human to transmit. Their music has long been a source of cathartic release for shit i feel and have a hard time getting out. I know they’ll probably never see this comment but if you guys do I just want you to know I’m thankful and you’ve really helped me get through life and find something external to match an inner intensity of frustration, anger, and feelings of futility. And y’all are kicking ass with the direction you’ve been going. God bless (I don’t know if that’s weird or offensive to say God bless you to a band like this but I trust the expression of good will comes across haha)

[@mindofmatter071]

Well said.

[@turtreynolds661]

I agree Charlie Brown perfect. I wonder what would unlock my brain on shrooms to this song

[@turtreynolds661]

To be honest Vincent is always in God mode he's one of my favorite vocalists of all time. Perfect death chords. I got a lot of my screaming and growling from him and David Randall Blythe and sometimes sound like Christopher Barnes all my favorite low growls and screams. I think my high pitched screams come from Suicide silence and Infant annihilator. My style is idgafuck but I'll do it for the love and make it death metal or death core either way!

Vincent is a lyrical mastermind weaving parts of various songs lyrics to tell this song's story. I'm blown away by these albums. Must have listened through at least 12 times since last night

[@ZeroTraceOperative]

I just saw them play this album live in NYC about 2 weeks ago. THIS song live was a fucking transcendant experience. Been a fan since the dead walk dropped. The growth is absolutely astronomical.

[@chrisrobinson5103]

I can't express with any language I know just how amazing this album is. I'm absolutely floored by this

@kasaeuberlichproduction5981 For me yeah, but that's just my opinion. I've listened to this at least twice a day since its release. Your taste may be different from mine though

[@roadkillanonymous4807]

The church bell/funeral toll around the 4 minute mark is soooooo good and well fitting. Appreciate that they didn’t overdo it…just once for effect and not diminished or corny through repetition or anything overly dramatic

Wish someone would make more lyric videos for acacia & for this song. If I didn’t suck so bad at computer stuff I would do it. I see so many lyric videos for other bands but with how popular they are I’m surprised more people don’t make them for Acacia.

Long since moved on from metalcore + breakdowns + mosh music, but I can get behind this. I'm guessing no one in the band is under 40, just transition into a slow band and leave the moshing for the kids 🤷‍♂️

[@luweewee]

...huh? Moshing is for kids? Are you putting an age limit to who can mosh? lmfao I've seen 30-50 year olds running some rounds in the pit. But we get it man, you're a grown man now and grown men only listen to fast breakdown music and don't dance to fast breakdown music, correct?

[@arcadeshift5071]

@@luweewee ?? grown men listen to whatever they want. Yes, I think there is a time when it's best to let the kids have their scene. Moshy metalcore breakdown bands almost exclusively appeal to kids aged 14-25. Most of us kind of grow out of it by 30. When I was 16 the last thing I'd wanna see is a 37 year old grandpa in the pit. Doesn't mean you can't still love the music, go to shows, etc.

I'm 50 and still am always on the rail and in the pit...maybe not as much but pretty close,i also weight train daily and practice MMA as a sparing partner for fighters. So i am guessing you are talking about a normal 50 year old whos out of shape or something?
