Silverstein - The Altar/Mary

The Altar/Mary is taken from Silverstein’s album Misery Made Me, out now.
Stream / download - unfd.lnk.to/Mi...
Born into a cage that leads
Directly to the slaughter
Ritual sacrifice at the altar of
The altar of the fucking dollar
The machine needs blood
The show must go on
Can’t have the upper class
If there’s no one underneath them
(So they’re) sawing through
The top rungs
Before selling you
A chance to climb the corporate ladder
At the base of the ivory tower
The bodies pile up
Lured you with a future but it won’t exist
Shamed you for a failure
That they won’t admit
Somebody has to die
As a warning to the rest
Shut up and get in line
Take what you can get
Oh lord
I wish that I could quit
But the idol in the middle
Tends to rule with a fist
I’m not blind
But my hands are tied
I’ll tint my lenses rose
I’m handing people hope
They’d rather make ends meet
Than meet their maker with a rope right?
I’m not satan just a friend
So I might pay my penance
When I get my dividend
Somebody has to die
I say I’m okay but I’ve got a ways to go
Both ends of the candle burn the rope
So talk to me talk to me I’ve got it bad
Forgot what I needed lost what I had
Mary
I feel the devil in this room tonight
I’m fading
I’m a sinner and I can’t stop now
Unless I hold my breath
Long enough to see god
Somebody wake me up
‘Cause I’d rather be anywhere else
And if I don’t come back
You could be my epitaph
I could live in painted glass
Just like you

This is one hell of a beast to add to the Silverstein Discography.

[@thewand100]

Easily my favourite track on this album. The whole thing is a masterpiece.

[@tbd_502jackie]

I think I’m going to have to agree with that

[@hyu4293]

i love everything about this song - it's exciting, it's heavy, it's experimental, it's poetic! we all love shane's vocals and screams but EXCUSE ME PAUL MARC?! VOCALS FOR DAYS

[@kaskax95]

i love paul marc vocals so much

[@somnisnemoris4957]

0:42 that guitar transition after the heaviness into the melodic cleans was just too perfect.

[@chrisp2573]

Silverstein, would you do us a favor, release a bad album for once so we can finally say," I like their old stuff better." 20 years of incredible content. Thank you guys, for real.

[@musicilya6674]

Noooo, never! I hope that Silverstein will NEVER EVER change!

[@kaskax95]

their old stuff is actually better in my opinion. it's more post-hardcore

The Mary part of this song gotta be the most ethereal material we've ever heard from Silverstein, I hope there's more of this kinda style in the future!

Absolutely amazing live. Like the shear energy this song brings to shows is so great.

Dude they need to tour together someday!

[@frankreynolds4413]

Two of my favorite bands for real Dante

[@adrianmoreno2354]

I mean Thrice did a 180 turn on their core sound to be honest, while Silverstein even when experimenting with mainstream elements, they have stayed true to their core sound and Thrice didn't.

[@jasonlovesmusicreacting882]

@@adrianmoreno2354 Yeah but doesn’t mean the new Thrice stuff is all bad. For sure, not all entirely my thing, but I kinda see them the same way I do with like Rise Against. Just a nice hard rocking sound.

[@adrianmoreno2354]

@@jasonlovesmusicreacting882 Yeah totally agree with that man. Also for me Thrice is not bad at all nowadays, but I liked it way more back in the old days.

Is this the best Silverstein song ever? Maybe, but that's subjective

[@ihog_xd6762]

I had to do a double take on the EDM part of the song, I thought that was Dustin Bates from starset

[@Road370]

It might be him no ?

[@Lilcheeksification]

I thought they were busting into a cover of Ricochet the first time I listened.

[@CrypticlyEncrypted]

EDM? In what world

[@richthom91]

I thought that too!

[@glenn8299]

THE REPEAT BUTTON IS TAKING A BEATING RIGHT NOW!

[@Resken13]

Seriously though this is an incredible song and pops the most off the record. It's the first time I've seen post hardcore/metalcore actually branch into strange innovative territory without abandoning the genres key sounds. I was actually surprised at the direction the song took in the second half instead of easily predicting the formula. Top 3 Silverstein song ever imo! Might even be my number 1 dethroning 'Stand Amid The Roar'

[@collinnewbs5119]

songs a monster. cannot wait for live

[@rockcandywolf5301]

I saw it live on Saturday and it BLEW MY FUCKING MIND! They mention while in the studio they didn't think they'd ever play this live but the fan response was too good and lemme tell you, live this song was WILD!!!!!

Got a bad bit of news my friend. He's the main songwriter so he's not going anywhere. His vocals are good. You're just picky.
