The Acacia Strain - House Of Abandon

iTUNES: smarturl.it/tas-death-is
MERCH: riserecords.merchnow.com/catal...
The spinning you feel is not of the earth, it's all in your head.
The blue in the sky and green in the grass, unwillfully imagined.
Everything you know sparked by unbelievable coincidence.
Sub consciousness.
Never any consequence.
The twinkle of the stars you see is your mind wishing to believe the magic of nonsense.
We are dealt a hand and we act like there's a dealer.
You can't define life without speaking to the reaper.
Your belief that death is an option hinges on the fact that life is a reality.
We started the fight for survival and now we want to quit because we are losing.
And we cannot define life without always uttering death.
I wear a watch even though I don't believe in time.
The idea is false, just like the rest of the ones in your mind.
I don't fear death because I refuse to believe in life.
Genius of design.
Fooled by your own mind.
Size is infinite.

"Life is the slowest way to die"...genius line.

[@vvs7591]

Underrated album

[@DoctorLipsh1ts]

it's honestly the single best ending to an album i've ever heard, it literally makes me speechless.

[@SaturnineXTS]

bro, try be'lakor - countless skies or disillusion - the sleep of restless hours

[@thescinema]

This album is probably the most perfect Acacia Strain album yet. I am very pleased with the direction they're going. Keep it up, guys!

[@jakeen229]

"True life ends, when we emerge from the womb. All clarity comes, and is placed in your tomb." Damn thats metal as fuck.

[@MrFullmetalgatts]

"i was born on the battlefield" that fucking line gets me every time

[@lucasbarba96]

THIS is the REAL lyrics.. "All paths follow the beam [x4] They keep dying but I'm still here. All I want to hear is dirt hitting the box I don't need this, you have become a health risk. Listen for the moan, better to travel alone. I don't need this, you have become a health risk. I was born on the battlefield, born into death beneath the wheel. Sirens and screams were my lullabies, I never had the time to learn how to cry The good times are behind us, if they were ever good at all. The future will not find us, You failed me I failed us all Abandonment Sorry is not going to pay the rent. I wanna hear you say it I wanna see your life sprayed across the walls. Life is the slowest way to die. [x4] I lost you because I wanted to and they will never end up finding you. And if they do, they won't know it's you. Eat it alive. Bury the living. Burn the dead. [x2] As we live, we are surrounded by death. Blinded by the idea, that it's all that's left. True life ends, when we emerge from the womb. All clarity comes, and is placed in your tomb. "

[@atlaspowershrugged]

I like how TAS always includes a more chill song in every album like Halcyon and the Behemoth. All the hate and aggression can wear you out, this song lets you relax without forgetting the brutal nature of the album. I like how they manage to make music that is chill and at the same time somehow acknowledges and hints at the brutality that came before.

[@coreyfromaus]

That Melody and the outro...

[@sonicscarifier555]

I cry everytime i hear the end of this.

[@countdoogula2781]

Harden up.

[@YouShallNotPassGo]

Slow, eerie guitars are my life

[@DoctorLipsh1ts]

The end of this song makes me tear up

[@0angel8cortes27]

2 years later and the lyrics in the description are the lyrics from Time Death and God. I dunno how to feel about Rise after seeing that

[@zazmaquin]

+angel cortes The pink vinyl has the same problem. At least rise can change the lyrics on the description. My lyrics sheet will always be misprinted haha.

[@alexandersimmons3350]

two more years later and it's still the wrong lyrics in the description lol

[@schuylerweaver9653]

Same killed my brain for a solid minute

[@joecociuba4722]

7 years later and still wrong lyrics lol

[@troiaofficial2818]

Stillllll wrong!

[@813Dalton]

0:01 Hall pass, follow the pee.

[@ericgreen8082]

Hahahahahaha goddammit you ruined this song for me. Well done

[@PrometheanTNGuitaris]

DL is still IN the acacia strain...he just doesn't TOUR with them...he wrote all the guitar tracks on this album...he's just their producer/main writer now...he's spending time with his family....very honorable of him I must say

[@PetrZabolotnikov]

That solo hits too hard

[@FBDennis1996]

Has anyone noticed the in description lyrics are the lyrics to Time And Death And God?

[@smokejc]

no

[@breakroombrawl]

Thank goodness for this song. I was looking for a song on this album that wasn't just super slow... This has piqued my fancy.

[@DreDre602die]

I dunno what it is.. but this album is like a drug to me. I just cant stop listening to it. I usually dont like deathcore kinda bands .. but that sound, that fucking GUITAR SOUND !!! Listen to that shit , DL's tone on this album killed.

[@DoctorLipsh1ts]

that you so much for posting this

[@billmeyers7418]

this is one of the best metal bands for sure

[@jdelli1]

I love this song and sat down with the lyrics last night to follow along and noticed that also

[@Doughblade]

this is the heaviest album ever made.

[@sephirothdun]

Thank you so much for saying exactly what I wanted to.

[@NOWWEAREDYING]

This song is so beautiful. I'll play with us in Lyon, France, can't wait !

[@AutomaticMotion808]

Amazing.

[@WeeklyAudio]

Good job, Rise Records, for putting the lyrics to "Time and Death and God" on this video. :)

[@hardcoremaggott666]

Yes

[@stevensprz318]

wonderful *-*

[@wrecklesspaladin]

2019 still havent updated to the correct lyrics lol 👍

[@michaelvieregge2257]

2020 and still nothing .

[@TheMarauderX]

Must... endure... desire... for more...

[@taxscandalandthebuenos]

Last album with the original four. DL goes out on a melodic ending for his last TAS song. Idk.. I get a little sentimental when it comes to this album.

[@3rdAgeSoap]

Now I'll be forever curious

[@jdelli1]

As we live, we are surrounded by death. Blinded by the idea, that it's all that's left. True life ends when you emerge from the womb. All clarity comes, and is placed in your tomb.

[@jdelli1]

I fucking love the last 2 minutes of this song. I've never heard anything melodic at all from them before this album. Fucking awesome.

[@thedeicide5493]

Best outro ever

[@JakeFreeman256]

Yeah, these are definitely the lyrics to 'Time & Death & God.' They're wrong in the booklet from the album too. I wonder if it was intentional for some reason, seeing as how a good chunk is missing off the end of the lyrics when they're listed for this song.

[@brandonjamesss]

".....follow the beat, They keep dying but I'm still here, I want to hear disturbed with the pulse. I don't need this. You have become a health risk. Listen for the moan. Prepared to travel alone. I was born on the battlefield. Born into death, beneath the will. Sirus's screams were my lullabies. I never am the type to run out to hide. The good times are behind us, if they were ever good at all. The future will not blind us, you failed me, I failed us all. Abandonment......

[@schick41]

well, yeah

[@klayguy13]

love these guys more then chelsea grin now...

[@jdelli1]

...is fucking amazing. I can't stop listening to the ending of this song. Best way to end an album I have ever heard.

[@TheCyberReporter]

just saw them last night, almost broke my back, so worth it.best fucking band

[@CausuallyHardcore]

Seeing these guys live on March 5th :D

[@what7psp]

last 2-3 mins is best

[@DoctorLipsh1ts]

I have been dying to read the lyrics to this song. WHY, RISE, WHY?!?

[@neilcullinan7358]

Id say this is prob my favorite band of all time!!!!!!!! :)

[@FuCkInGWhItEcHaPeL]

** ...unsettle." but, for someone like myself, who's pretty fucking aggravated/fed up with life in general almost all the fucking time, this shit is some of the most incredibly therapeutic art that I've ever fed into my brain. it's not about creating emotionally sound and creatively exciting music with these guys at all. it's about producing the sound of pure heaviness, and designing it with a fucking art

[@jensragas3719]

NICE FUCKING DOOM/DEATH-METAL

[@what7psp]

+Jens Ragas The melodic ending though, very nice

[@s2thep]

I was born on the battlefield!

[@9ChildOfCybertron6]

@12erSAndtecHgrind "And all clarity comes when you are placed in the tomb."

[@DoctorLipsh1ts]

oh yeah dude. the leads at the end always give me chills, right around when he's saying "this is poison, this is battery acid." then the break hits, and the song fades out with those clips. it's just as good as this but in a totally different way. other than wormwood with tactical nuke, strain writes the best endings to albums of any metal band. in my opinion at least

[@s0urp0wer5]

Observer was ridiculous

[@brandonjamesss]

Come on guys we should be able to collectively come up with these lyrics as a community

[@InfinteUnanything]

YUP

[@DGKrew00]

The Acacia Strain is the HEAVIEST band out right now. So fucking brutal.

[@timothydavidson2623]

The last line of the speaking part I can't make out. These could be totally wrong but this is what I got from it. If I'm wrong let me know.

[@evilcheese439]

Idk, but I think this album reached the limits of the ultra sludge chug, I feel like some new fast paced acacia strain will come out.

[@timothydavidson2623]

This is what I got, "Hopeless, follow the beat. They keep dying, but I'm still here. I wanna hear this dirt hit the box. I don't need this. You have become a health risk. Listen for the moan. Better to travel alone. I don't need this. You have become a health risk. I was born on the battlefield. Born into death, beneath the wheel. Sirus's screams were my lullabies. I never had the time to learn how to cry. The good times are behind us, if they were ever good at all. The future will not bind us.

[@DreDre602die]

I dont see how they're gonna get a better sound than this without DL.

[@bmhyakiri]

I have been disappointed with this band, but this song gave me some hope. Much better outro than Wormwood, that's for sure.

[@xLongLiveMetalx]

Where did you find the lyrics?

[@FuCkInGWhItEcHaPeL]

** ...all about bringing the heaviness. musically, this album and wormwood are probably my two favorite releases from these guys, partially because of how ignorantly they seemed to write the songs. they threw the whole 'traditional-sounding song' concept write out the fucking window and said, "hey, listen to this. it's a fucking brick wall of weight, hatred and anger. nothing else. it's not necessarily meant to be enjoyed, and, if anything, it was designed to disturb and... *(continued)*

[@FuCkInGWhItEcHaPeL]

** ...laskiewicz produced the fucking thing, and that right there is a dead giveaway that the album came out the exact way that they wanted it to--i'm a firm believer in that concept. besides, people miss the band's older material because sometimes the songs had a little bit more depth to them, they felt a little bit more like songs. but people are stupid, they don't seem to realize that the acacia strain couldn't give a fuck less if you enjoyed their music or not, they're just... *(continued)*

[@XDetroitDieselX]

Why are the lyrics the same as "Time, Death & God"?

[@Hoaxxxxxxx]

these are the lyrics for time and death and god

[@shane62386]

you should listen to 3750 then. if you like this then you would prolly like a few songs on that album

[@SlyWolf]

Damn right. I'm obsessed with Wormwood and this album for that reason. DL kinda makes most of the band for me. I started recording a demo and you can totally hear his influence in my music.

[@metal57600]

That was the first thing i noticed when I got the album on there release tour. They can't even get the lyrics right.

[@3rdAgeSoap]

Yeah, I didn't realize that till I got the CD myself.. Hopefully TAS sees this and tries to fix it :/

[@gestaltzerfaII]

JESUS finally a band with that kin of logo and its not mall core it's actually Fukiin awesome

[@Volum3s]

It's like that in the lyric folder in the album as well... I don't know how they let that slide by but it pisses me off.

[@ericgreen8082]

If you make the same mistake I did and watch one of those 8 bit metal cover songs before this, I swear, you hear the 8 Bit beeps throughout this song -_- learn from me, kids. Dont ruin good music for yourself

[@Shipps941]

The Behemoth

[@PrometheanTNGuitaris]

I'm wondering why that was in there with both lyrics for T&D&G on that and house of abandon...it was like >____< wtf????

[@jasonglisson2712]

this and the breakdown to Jumanji by attila off the rage album...so fucking sick lol

[@Drdontcare1]

the lyrics are wrong, and theyre wrong in the lyric book... am i crazy or whats going on?

[@DoctorLipsh1ts]

isn't it amazing? i think it's my favorite ending to any album, next to suicide silence's "disengage" or whitechapel's "animus"

[@evilcheese439]

The Acacia Strain dropped DL back in May. He doesn't do anything for the band now, he is not in the band anymore. Google it.

[@AustinMartinGuitar]

The lyrics are wrong in the lyric book too..

[@PetrZabolotnikov]

Someone should tab this already

[@YaBoiHashbrownZ]

Even the guys with the most hate, have a soft side.

[@PrometheanTNGuitaris]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! WHAT WILL BECOME OF THEM NOW!!!!!!

[@9ChildOfCybertron6]

Okay, lyrics are wrong, we get it. Why has no one commented on how good this track is?

[@darandman23]

If it's any help to anyone these are actually the lyrics for Time And Death And God just thought I'd fill everyone in..

[@DoctorLipsh1ts]

i am really fucking disappointed that the real lyrics haven't been published yet. what the fuck is going on

[@butdontaskme5345]

The lyrics being the same as the prior song are too make you close youre eyes and listen. He's understandable once you get his style

[@brandonjamesss]

".....Sorry is not going to make ammends. I want to hear you say it. I want to see your life spray across the walls. Life is the slowest way to die. I lost you because I wanted to. And they will never end finding you, and if they do they won't know it's you. Eaten alive. Bury the living, Burn the Dead!" They may be slightly wrong but help out if you can figure it out

[@FuCkInGWhItEcHaPeL]

** ...seriously, it's not like they've sold out or lost their luster, they've just fucking developed. besides, I feel like this is the most legitimate fucking sounding the acacia strain that's ever been made. by the way, i'm really liking that instrumental turn that this song suddenly takes around the halfway mark. this is definitely them breaking into new ground. but as far as this not being the real band, it's probably more them than it's ever been. I mean, come on, Daniel... *(continued)*

[@PrometheanTNGuitaris]

dude Tactical Nuke was the perfect way to end wormwood lol...it was just sooooo beefy and sludgy

[@megaco9077]

The lyrics you posted are from time and death and god, not this song. also you misspelled the chambered nautilus smh how tf no one catch this

[@jasonglisson2712]

buried beneath the wheel* Sorry is not gonna pay the rent*

[@FuCkInGWhItEcHaPeL]

no shit. I hope you like "sunpoison and skin cancer" too, then, because that is hands down my favorite track from these dudes

[@DarthAlgar08]

Well yeah it only came out a today lol

[@DoctorLipsh1ts]

yeah i was hoping to pick up the album and have the right ones in there...nope. i'm fucking pissed, this is the one song where i really wanna read the lyrics. i hope they fix this

[@PcPlagues]

they mixed it themselves. the guitarist anyway.

[@l0lan00b3]

ACacia strain

[@bernkbestgirl]

Not Rise's fault, the lyrics aren't even right in the booklet that comes with the CD...

[@nickbroomhallmusic]

WHOPPERRRRRRRRR. FOLLOW THE PEEEEEEEE.

[@TheBr0seph]

That's what i said when i saw your profile pic..

[@SlyWolf]

They can. Don't just play off their new guitarist - wait to see what he's capable of. It will probably be different in some ways, but you also might like someone else's play-style more.

[@Niffie]

Damn, so much awesomness, so little views. lol.
