Lyrics:
The face and the lips tremble as it rips
Your breath quickening as heat rushes in
Pull harder strings martyr
Stop you cry that's a lie
Flush gasping white reddening
You smile and destroy it - it's time that we end this
It's our curse that makes this world so hopeless
Allowing our king to spread his genocidal wings
Clawing the skin each kill your weakness
Annihilation your masturbation- tyrant, I'll burn you down
PULL, HARDER, STRINGS, MARTYR
STOP, you CRY, that's, a LIE!
FLUSH, GASPING, WHITE, REDDENING!
You SMILE, and destroy it - it's time that we end this!
It's our curse, that makes this world so hopeless
Allowing, our, king to spread his genocidal wings!
It's our curse, that makes this world so hopeless
Allowing, our, king to spread his genocidal wings!
My hands grip your throat I need your end
Burned, staked, ripped apart - I avenge
For every life you have taken
I am here to repay You ask me oh God why
'Cause I'm God that's f*cking why
For every life you have taken
I am here to repay
PULL, HARDER, STRINGS, MARTYR
STOP, you CRY, that's, a LIE!
FLUSH, GASPING, WHITE, REDDENING!
You SMILE, and destroy it - it's time that we end this!
It's our curse, that makes this world so hopeless
Allowing our king to spread his genocidal wings!
It's our curse, that makes this world so hopeless
Allowing our king to spread his genocidal wings!

I still cant beleive Matt Heafy was like 4 years old at this time

[@xristosgousios2181]

Def looks the part but I think he was at least 5

[@lasbi666]

he was there with mom and dad cheering him up after he went on stage 😆

[@iggysixx]

Yeah. First Trivium album was released before he was a gleam in his father's eye. Pretty metal, if you think about it ;)

[@musikinspektorcom]

Actually it was his 4th birthday.

[@joshuaprietophoto]

Amazing performance of a great song. Robb Flynn's vocals elevate the song even more!

[@stewiew1151]

The world needs another Roadrunner United.

[@4ytcomment]

Flynn may be my favorite metal vocalist ever. There's nothing he can't make sound good.

[@bassda72]

Trivium dans les début c'était juste énorme on adorait aussi nous les petit français. 🤘 Trivium in the beginning it was just huge we also loved the little French. 🤘

[@Valhallacl11]

metal bands should sound like this again, with catchy riffs and chorus

Try Neon Empire - War or Wrath.

Robbbbbbbbb's disdain for Pantera goes back even this far....thats nuts. He just walks off during a Dime tribute moment. Man the dude is such a child.

[@4ytcomment]

You have no clue what you're talking about

[@jasonfromguitarcenter]

Dime & Robb Were Friends Back Then

[@sevenman9672]

He did write a song around this time called aesthetics of hate which was aimed at people badmouthing Dimebags death.

[@lasbi666]

I will never forget this night ! thanks Roadrunner for the contests you made when the album was released. you took me from Europe to NYC to witness this night I will never forget ! Thanks a thousand times !

[@sunpeaksturner]

Super Rad..two of the roadrunner united ..Captains ..sick ! Hats off to Sir Robert Flynn ..for vocals on one of the best Trivium songs ever 🤘🏽…word for word! And of course supporting Trivium ..who has become a super sonic Icon ..in the metal world..Fukin Nice !

[@nealthomasmatthews4675]

Trivium this song is sick musically, lyricrly, harmonically sic, roadrunner after party, rob was amazing on vocals, miss you dimebag

[@evanp7728]

This is my all time favourite performance of pull harder and one of my favourite performances of all time

[@monoideal3592]

2:50 Did not remember their Dimeguitar era. Also Matt's singing position has some heavy Hetfield vibes. Amazing to think how young Trivium guys were at the time.

[@3rdAgeSoap]

They were the first band I ever saw that played Razorbacks and they always made me want one lmao edit: not razorbacks I guess, but close enough and still Deans

[@hailhummus]

I mean Trivium went through a whole Metallica clone era so wouldn't be surprised if Matt also (unconsciously?) imitates Hetfield on stage

[@JUNK_ZONE]

Wasn't Matt's signature that Dime shape? Thought that was pretty recent.

[@monoideal3592]

@@JUNK_ZONE Only Heafy signature I can find is his Epiphone Les Paul Custom. Think they played out of the box Razorbacks. Matt played Razorbacks and Corey mostly Razorback V's (although not in this concert).

[@kingthorgrim1591]

Fucking hellyeah man, I remember watching this years ago when I was younger and being blown away, still get emotional to this day just thinking about it...aaah those were the days man, everything was way better and easier for me back in the good old days

Still My Favorite Trivium Song❤

Rob really said "Pull war war"

[@vrxry]

“Strings mar mar”

Takes me fucking back. This shit was so damn good.

[@beeray13]

I was at this show. I loved going to shows at this venue. Right in times square. Seeing killswitch with both singers was the highlight.

[@lasbi666]

[@genpvsound]

Dá pra ver a felicidade nos olhos do Matt em tocar e cantar num grande evento como esse com apenas 19 anos de idade

[@brigitteplante1832]

[@Luke_Stoltenberg]

Trivium had a real fire to them in those days.

[@fragilefilter]

Saw them open for a duel headliner of MH and Chimera in 04. Damn show was absolutely insane. Robb got everyone so riled up during the MH set that the whole floor was a pit from the stage to the back bar. After they played, the owner came up on stage and was pissed and threatened Chimera to not do the same or will be ban both bands from the venue

[@sunpeaksturner]

Yes Mr Rob Flynn !!

[@ashetonneff1405]

Matt and Paolo have Hair!! that is all... the project was pretty epic.. especially into the fire

[@seelentau]

Matt was 19 years old at the time of this gig, woah :D

[@RandyVampiro]

When Matt Still Had Hair! All Hail!

[@sin2dcore]

One of the best nights of my life. Tommy Vext got me backstage and Jordan from Still Remains took tons of pictures of group shots that I jumped in. Watched the show next to Monte Conner. Met everyone that night. Flynn is cool as shit. It was my metalhead dream come true. No one has to beloeve this but shit if Jordan ever posted those pics I would be in heaven.

[@ironicpasta8460]

Roadrunner united was amazing, early Trivium were amazing, guitar tone sounds killer on this, especially the domination tribute at the end. Takes me back to my teenage years

[@hero-x2g]

Nice 👍

[@KRayxKodessA]

look how YOUNG they are here, wow!

[@alexandrudumitru2435]

Matthew screams where so damn brutal in this period. He sounds amazing nowdays as well dont get me wrong..but his voice was so damn brutal back then

[@moodmusic4life]

That was the sound of his throat being eviscerated

[@disgust_jpeg1871]

It was his throat being demolished 🤭

[@marcosrenan93]

There's no comparison...back in the day he was one of the best and nowadays he's just good

[@unrepentantoffender188]

[@masonturner4085]

Now the screams are all backed up by Corey

[@diabeticmonkey]

I forgot that Rita let them play Dime's actual guitars at this show. That's so damn cool

[@CharlieWielowski]

Fun fact. Rita Haney actually gave Trivium permission to use Dimes personal guitars 🤘

[@R.DrewWhitsonMusic]

Rob clearly auto tuned at 1:27. The engineer should have left it raw and nasty vs trying to make rob match Matt's vocal range.

Yes.

[@bryanjames5256]

I remember being 11 years old on Times Square, seeing the advertisement for this. The album was amazing. But why now? I was hoping they were gearing up for another All Star Sessions.

[@darthmetallus1977]

I remember the Roadrunner United studio album & the Machine Head DVD Elegies came out around a week apart. I was a bit broke at the time so I had to choose. I bought the album & then bought Elegies the following week.

[@spfadden082711]

Matt’s voice was trashed back then but his scream was still so good! I can see why he had to retrain himself. Soo good!

[@sohft]

yeah his voice is completely shredded here, you can hear it during his cleans.

[@DJ_Mooster]

Which is nuts cause it wasn't for like another 10 years where it gave up

This was so cool. I remember watching this when it dropped 💜🙌

[@timolebeck6405]

imagine being like 20(?) and Robb Flynn is singing your f****ing song with you!^^

[@fragilefilter]

When Chimera and MH did a co-headline tour, they brought Trivium with them and was blown away by them. Couldn’t ever understand the like Trivium would get from the metal press back in the day though.

[@jay-ci3lc]

So weird seeing robb flynn without a guitar

[@mrbejam]

I’d fallen out with metal around this time (I just didn’t like anything new by then), but recently got nostalgic about this song. Also knew about the Roadrunner United stuff, but never listened to it - Roadrunner had a pretty bad rep back then about how they treated bands. But hearing Robb on this version is fucking ace. I missed out haha!

I can’t stand the rob vocals tbh

[@jaydennis1999]

God damn Matt used to sound so damn menacing

[@Noone-nu5mv]

It’s a bummer they recorded stuff in the studio afterwards though. At 3:40 you hear Matt’s rythm playing by itself lol.

[@IdiotsGoneWild]

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who caught that. It definitely looks like they played this pretty sloppy and they did a good job of editing the audio to make it sound otherwise. LOL
