LYRICS
Been living under the gun since I first hit the road
Felt broken, lost and defeated, I hit my lowest lows
Incompetence is a killer when the mouth that speaks is ignorant
I’ll see you choke on your words, self-righteous hypocrites
You wanna see a war?
I’m here to settle scores
Sick the hounds, cut you down from your high horse
Is this what you want?
Is this what you need?
Rip the flesh from the bone of the hand that feeds
You wanna see a war?
I’m here to settle scores
Sick the hounds, cut you down from your high horse
A name unfit for a stone at its final resting place
The lonely fate of the wicked
Another unmarked grave
Caught the scent
Took the bait
Now the hunter is the prey
You wanna see a war?
I’m here to settle scores
Sick the hounds, cut you down from your high horse
Is this what you want?
Is this what you need?
Rip the flesh from the bone of the hand that feeds
You wanna see a war?
I’m here to settle scores
Sick the hounds, cut you down from your high horse
Chambered one last round
Dead ‘fore you hit the ground

[@nopecomply]

@@fireflow726 I enjoyed most of Pressure, but I can't hate on them for wanting to try something new. this single proves that they haven't lost touch of what they were in the first 2 albums, but it also doesn't really sound like the first 2 albums

yep this shit is amazing you know there is people i know who wont listen to this band for 2 reasons one the singer is a christian an 2 the band has a song called go be the voice of god which is so fucking stupid for reasons why not to listen or like this band this song is a fucking banger for sure

[@xMetallicxAlloyx]

I was legit thinking the same thing. 2020 broke these bands in a good way after an album or two of "softer" stuff. 😂 not being able to tour brought the rage back 🙏

[@MrEL91N]

They realized that going back to the heavy sound was the next move. Just like tons of bands all got soft, they’re realizing being heavy again is what a lot of their fans want. It’s no coincidence that so many bands who went for the softer sound are now conveniently all getting heavy again and making music more like their original sound. I’m here for it.

[@EpicGamer2018]

I think but could be wrong. architect was the first band to bring out a heavy album this year and all the other bands are following that trend

[@phantomtearsca]

@@punkfreak1414 Eh, not really. Sounds about on par with Pressure, which I didn't think sounded bad at all. From the sound of it, it was most likely mixed by the same guys, which I'm 90% sure is Drew Fulk and Jeff Dunne.

This sounds closer to the low music video mix than anything on that actual album.
