LYRICS:
I'm the king of the world, and it's crumbling down. All around me falls the ruins of my enemies.
You can't control me. Or can you not see? You can't control me. It's time to admit defeat.
When I speak, you listen to me.
And all we need is a release, a reason to be and a fight in which we believe.
We are the ones who save ourselves, don't think these walls will keep us out.
Don't abandon, don't abandon what we've started. 'Cause I believe in you. In fighting for whatever I have to.
You tremble and grow weak. It'll take everything you have just to breathe.
You're begging, you're begging, "Let me out!"
You're begging, you're begging, plead for mercy.
You'll beg you'll beg you'll scream. Fall to your knees.
You've failed me for the last time. What's yours is mine. Because I'm taking over.
And all we need is a release, a reason to be and a fight in which we believe.
We are the ones who save ourselves, don't think these walls will keep us out.
Don't abandon, don't abandon what we've started. 'Cause I believe in you. In fighting for whatever I have to. (Don't abandon what we've started).
'Cause I believe in you, in fighting for whatever I have to.

Its 2020 and this song still makes my neck hurt

[@doomedstruggler]

If you like lullabies

[@That0PENMindedKiD]

Miss this metalcore sound.

[@discscscs]

Ye

[@tearduxlama5315]

for a good like few seconds telle in a pentakill song called conq and its pretty similar to this, brings back memories

[@peterwild4596]

Facts bro

[@LorenDrums3]

I can air guitar the shit out of this song.

[@nathanlewis5087]

13 years.. this songs a teen. Still bangs.

[@leviknight9715]

bro I'm pushing 30 and this shit still slaps

[@brainletsYT]

but you still talk like a zoomer

[@HvNzSoul]

Samesies

[@blakebray9111]

Same

[@TheTrueEdge1]

I'm right there with you. I can always come back to this x)

[@cameroncram6769]

Facts

[@GetScaredGaming]

Damn this was really good. Really technical guitar work for a band like this.

[@Ripyungbruhh]

Exactly what I thought of.

[@anunamiss5309]

I see you everywhere! XD

[@matthewtaylor2784]

Their lead guitarist is nasty live..this album was metalcore heaven

[@NathanBurgerAccount]

Telle's screams in this give me life

[@adelaideboissieou9729]

yea men, eso rola es re buena.

[@NathanBurgerAccount]

Brett Bergstrom actually I found out he was with them since deceiver which was like 2011

[@jimbyu]

thats telle in the picture you probably just only saw him after he changed his hair haha

[@wessones1085]

Brett - he's been the vocalist of the band since Craig Mabbitt left

[@DemonTrigger46]

Why the hell did they never make a music video for this song.....The song is too fucking badass

[@KrisMIW91]

I was 20 when this was released, im going to be 31 in 2 weeks...I still, STILL find this song a masterpiece

[@stratostsourakis9808]

Time goes by fast!

[@plotskosisii312]

Bro i feel that. Deceiver has a special place in my heart

[@matt81z28]

I was 16 when I saw them live at the white rabbit in sa tx. Still one of my favorite songs.

[@hannahbeeman8589]

I still love this album. I use to promote for fearless records and hearing this album brings back so many good memories. The band has always been super nice.

[@alienprobe974]

Still one of my favorite songs from these guys!

[@djjohnson4036]

Their best song for sure.

[@Neilo1994]

Dazed AndConfused Dude this song wasn't on the ep

[@rw4751]

He's probably thinking about battle royale. Which I kind of agree with. EP battle Royale is a bit better than the deceiver version

[@danthedoozy9472]

No doubt. Nothing else comes close.

[@tommoconstantly]

Dark Matter is another one of their best I think

[@JamesYusof]

The Word Alive. Probably the most under rated metalcore band out there.

[@Aoekin]

Still one of the most awesome guitar solos and riffs.

[@MAKxRaMpAgEx]

the guitar work on this song is insane, i love it

[@lokboxx]

All these modes... Even in vocals! It's hypnotic. Put a tight harmony in "all we need is a release" and BAM!

[@killswitchfate]

2019 we still out here, PRAY FOR MERCYY!!!

[@Scott_Santos]

13 years to the day of Deceiver being released and this song still hits just as hard. I was 16 when this dropped and now I'm about to turn 30. Time really does fly. Saw them live at Warped Tour in 2011 and became a fan for life that day. Rock on boys 🤘

[@injunboy89]

"DON'T ABANDON WHAT WE'VE STARTED!" since day one! :D

[@telletwa]

No, he's been playing for like 7-8 now. The band itself is 4 years old... He IS amazing though and gets better all the time.

[@N3onH100]

3:50 Sounds beatiful :')

[@ladedadedaschlobonmeknob7850]

This album was the Sgt. Pepper of metal. This was TWA's peak.

[@ToveriJuri]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/opnGnKieit2WnaM

[@prodbyjeremiah97]

Nice joke mate

[@historywithDLC]

Most bands drop 1 good album then vanish

[@ridleysomeliana-lauer5814]

I love this album just as much as the rest of us but to call this the Sgt Pepper of metal is GREATLY overselling it. It’s not that innovative.

[@hotsauceonme7792]

IM THE KING, OF, THE WORLD, AND ITS CRUMBLING DOWN! Still goes hard af my dudes

[@korrupt93]

Me back in 2010 trying to translate the lyrics to my drunken aunt 😂

[@thesteelappeal]

This song still absolutely slaps

[@ShankNspank]

Best song they ever did. Remember this in my 20's. showing them everyone I could... Now im 31... New music is for mELTS

[@Death_by_Kim_Yoohyeon]

I remember walking into a record store and buying a physical copy of this album... good ol' days

[@jowieseph]

I spoke to Justin Salinas one time like 15 years ago on Facebook. Hes an amazing drummer ❤

[@getgudmedia7934]

I remember this song as the reason every local band in 2011 had a song in the Egyptian scale

[@yesterdaysfuture78]

ive seen these guys twice already...and they just get better every time!!!!

[@angelcasillassantana]

2018 God bless you my dear sons

[@khakiturtle6776]

God! The intro is such an eargasm

[@ryandicksen8377]

Best chorus ever

[@No1WillMakeItOutAlive]

Ryan Dicksen lucid by Polaris would like to have a word with you

[@_Xypes_]

Wild claim but the chorus is one of the best I’ve heard

[@TyLeRmAn1958]

'I'M THE KING OF THE WORLD!!' Is this not like the best song ever!! Seriously. You got awesome guitars, vocals, lyrics, a great chorus and breakdown. And what the mess! Even a sweet solo!! :) Cant beat it!

[@paizedao]

times they do not come back ... #missoldtwa

[@craponAsPTULA]

new twa is still good, but this is just so much better

[@paizedao]

craponAsPTULA no,old twa is good,this is shit

[@danielthake8115]

Agree, new shit is just blaaaaaand

[@yo8685]

This song is so epic along with every song off this bands "Deceiver" album. My fav is "2012" cuz of the synth breakdown. This band is capable of great things and I have high hopes they become much more well known and famous. Keep up the good work The Word Alive!

[@WubbleOfficial]

my favourite song from you guys!

[@lesliecohetero3585]

Heard them play this song last night and I swear to you guys, it sounds amazing live (especially the guitar)

[@xautumnx100]

I wish Luke had done the drums on this record. so happy to have gotten his drum sticks when I saw them last. Can't wait to see them again.

[@WoeIsKennedy]

I got to see them yesterday, it was their first show with Luke Holland as their drummer. Such an amazing show!

[@3BulletsForGrace]

I love old TWA. n.n

[@Nightmare1066]

This song is definitely one of the best songs on their new albums if not the best.

[@72394jjw]

Love this! still today! 2017!!!

[@irish__maiden]

JWheel 23 it's timeless and always amazing ;)

[@72394jjw]

LETHE Damn right. Especially when your work lets you jam! hahaha. 🤘

[@davefried81]

cant stop listening to these dudes over the years....what else is comparable>?

[@yazansakran3326]

i love TWA's lyrical content. Just like MIW it's very meaningful

[@animatedjess]

one word epic. never heard a band play this good before

[@TriaBoy25]

Omg that guitar part in the last 20 seconds.. Sexiest thing I've ever heard

[@FlowRider2000]

Addicted to this song, Such good vocals and guitar solos. Epic drums too

[@TheDayYouDiedToMe]

this is amazing!

[@hillside127]

I REALLY like the way the lyrics are presented in this video. The most well done video with lyrics I have ever seen. Wish all of them were like this...

[@mariahgarcia9416]

Fricken love this

[@FurtheringAlignment]

Gotcha. Guess I would've had to see the interview.. I do think these guys know a lot more than the masses and are helping to spread the message of light against the oppressive side of darkness. And listening to the lyrics now the only line that supports my theory is "Don't think these walls will keep us out." And the title Hounds of Anubis is a line in the tablets. Although maybe he didn't want to reveal the full meaning in the interview for fear someone would come after him.. haha

[@Elizgrra]

Finally found it 😍

[@BDChupacabra]

8-31-10 holy fuck man I’m old 😭 lmao

[@mariahgarcia9416]

love this 💚

[@TyLeRmAn1958]

one of my favorite songs ever! i remember when i first started listening to TWA i played this song many many times everyday for about a couple months. lol .. they are amazing!!

[@DocGehrman]

I can't believe how hated this album was back when it first came out I still think this is a 10/10 album

[@MrSamShreds]

this is real music right here they worked real hard to get where they are today

[@heythatonecoolkid]

when I got my ass kicked in the pits to this song

[@ekburnsred5]

I was at a show in Des Moines when I first heard this, they were with A Day To Remember...I instantly fell in love

[@n-s875]

Still listening in 2024 🤘

[@gluum_]

these guys deserve to be waaaay bigger than they are.

[@justinfam.]

What scream method is this. I want to learn!

[@laneflores5066]

sounds like false chords

[@irondudeful]

he uses both power and false. He used to use false a lot more, like in this song it sounds like false chords, but now he uses power fry. My advice to you is, find your own technique and work on it, get your own sound and it'll sound better than any sound you ever try and copy. Hope this helps :)

[@Klayinfinity]

lol alot of people complaining about the band.. Would really like to see you in the business and see how far you would come. If you dont like it, dont listen to it, and let people who like it enjoy it. Its that simple!

[@numberonetetofan]

I miss this era of TWA

[@dontbelikethatyo]

i love how there's lyrics on the video AND the description. a lot of big record company's channels don't have lyrics for songs included anywhere :\

[@matthewrobinson7780]

The Air I Breathe was good, I wish this style was still around...Kingdom of giants, dream on dreamer, burn Lexington , bless the fall .....yall know what i mean?

[@KrisMIW91]

DUUUDE all those bands! The nostalgia is real. Much love to you sir for acknowledging and appreciating what i do as well 🙌

[@SleepingWSirens100]

It makes me happy that you actually come look on these videos x)

[@MortisThorne]

0:34 Yes sir.

[@jr7777777jr]

this music pumps me up for another long day of summer school....thank god for youtube, also badass song.

[@Skyjumperkid]

I just heard misery so I need something to make me feel better.

[@2specs1scim]

I love the guitar sound at 2:52

[@telletwa]

Our cd came out over a year before that... SOOOOO it would sound like ours ;)

[@TruckManThings]

this song was so much better when i was an 18 year old kid on lots of drugs. i cant stop my head from banging though, all these years later.

[@bluesmiles5]

All of those girls are listening to bvb while I'm listening to this, because this is a million times better. Too bad Luke wasn't on this album :/

[@allhailminiatures3028]

I like both hahahah

[@pornomime33]

This song... Wow. Just, wow. I love it and it's my first time hearing it. People need to stop hating. Music is music and we're all free to express ourselves through it. If you don't like it, then don't look up the videos. No one's forcing you. :)

[@UndeadRKO]

i headbanged to this song with my monster beats until smashed onto the floor and broke!! yea its fake beats actually..

[@kwamecoleman6550]

we need another album like this

[@fatefatefate]

Hello metalheads Instead of a metal rebellion i propose a new plan. 1. Don't bash other metal artists,we must unite! We cant fight against pop music if we arent even together 2. Watch more and more metal videos to get it to the top of the KZbin vid list If you like this idea, thumbs it up so people can see it. Do the metal community a favor and copy-paste this message in every heavy metal video you watch so we can all gain power over every other music genre.

[@butterflylesliebaby]

I love the guy's voice who sings the chorus.

[@Panicatpure10]

When the synths were good!

[@MrSamShreds]

this is real music right here they worked real hard to get where they are today \M/

[@cassandrabreit5029]

they did. "You're all i see"

[@hcdepedreiro]

2019 in Brazil. I love TWA!

[@sacredxgeometry]

very good song but the mix is too soft. I can't hear any umph.

[@elxslve8448]

Lucas Jenkins it sounds like there is nothing below 100hz apart from bass drops

[@sacredxgeometry]

Bands tend to scoop mids these days. I think you're right.

[@ZackyDoesCoversBro]

This is one of my all time favorite songs and by far my favorite by these guys :P

[@nicolebell5311]

Brutal.

[@TheFlippinHero]

That double bass.... OMFG!!! eargasmic...

[@InnocentDubstepper]

Damn Luke Holland is one of my favorite drummers ever. Kicks so much ass.

[@evilmonkeydan94]

Luke Holland wasn't in word alive when this album was out.

[@C0WBUDDY]

lol that was a huge fail

[@Blo0dredRidingHo0d]

Give new fans a break dude, some people probably listen to the ep and go wow telle's voice changed heaps!

[@coreybivens1189]

and actually Dan... Luke can play this song just as well, if not better... so fuck off

[@nono-er9jf]

.....This is different drummer. But to be honest. Luke Holland did a drum cover of this song

[@Metalkid109]

he's going to put on a good show with the stick flips he does lol

[@nathanlimasantos3574]

2017 !

[@ianwebb4129]

Came here after listening to misery

[@joaovitorcoelho4691]

01/01/2018

[@nighthawk6755]

2021

[@victorkoala2846]

the second guy from left to right looks like big cat from fantasy factory xD Awesome band!

[@adelaideboissieou9729]

que tolototota!

[@jomanaaa4758]

I want a remake of this 😩

[@RawRepiCfaiL1]

shh stop typing.. didnt you hear him "when i speak, you listen to me!"

[@sportsguy2140]

i cant get enough of that guitar in the beginning!!!!!

[@Dgbmiz52]

excellent guitar work, great drumming, and superb vocals equals no credit. Chug fest, power chords, mediocre drumming, and whiny vocals equals success.

[@idrinkmilk282]

You need to be more clear about whether or not your insults are insults or not.

[@Dgbmiz52]

+Matty Thoburn there are no insults here? I'm just saying as far as this genre goes this is one of the best songs I've ever heard, but it's not as popular as other stuff

[@BrandonNeedles]

+Jacob Miller I like your response. Always love seeing credit given where it is due bro :)

[@SynVenganceShadows]

it uses Phrygian dominant scale, which gives an exotic or "Egyptian" sound to it. I read in an interview that's why they based the song around being a king, (IM THE KING) because Egypt had kings or pharohs and it sounds egypty

[@sacredxgeometry]

Great song, but this mix is just putrid. Who produced this fucking album?

[@sacredxgeometry]

well since I never once talked about Life Cycles then what the fuck are you talking about lol

[@nickbrucato2566]

Lucas Jenkins i agree, the mix really isnt that good.

[@AW-qz4kk]

Its probably their worst album imo

[@chantelmemeow4459]

Its 2020 and we still out here!!!!!!
