Lyrics:
What will you tell your children when they ask you "what went wrong"
How can you paint a picture of a paradise lost
To eyes that know only a wasteland
How will you justify watching the world die
The clock is ticking, can't you feel our days are numbered
Head first into disaster from which there will be no return
With narrow minds we decimate our one true home
Cast into oblivion, judgment is calling
Behold the pale horse
This is the funeral of the Earth
Behold the pale horse
This is the funeral
The blind eye can no longer be cast
The clock is ticking, there is no second chance
The blind eye can no longer be cast
There will be no future, if we can't learn from our mistakes
The clock is ticking, there is no second chance
There will be no future, if we can't learn
A forced extinction closes out the age of apathy
The final act, sacrifice the world's ecology
The death of beauty, the death of hope
Cast before the throne of avarice, judgment is calling
Behold the pale horse
This is the funeral of the Earth
Behold the pale horse
This is the funeral
The blind eye can no longer be cast
There will be no future, if we can't learn from our mistakes
The clock is ticking, there is no second chance
There will be no future, if we can't learn
I can't watch it burn
Behold the pale horse
That vocalist is AMAZING ..........
Yup Winston McCall is really awesome
you dont say
They all kick serious ass. But Winston and the drummer are unbelievable
@@AlexanderR32 he's a nice guy in real life to
@LOVES 2 Smooch WINSTON MCCALL!!!
This song is almost 10 years old, it's haunting looking back at a song like this knowing the ignorance of the world today and how much worse things have become since this song was brought out. We are truly living in the "Dark Days".
right?
shits been going on since the days of industrial revolution but yeah, way to be meta and shit.
And the night grows darker still 😔
All of the songs from parkway drive from 10yrs ago are hitting really good in 2023. Super anti government songs. I didn’t know how based they were back then til now. The world ain’t right, and parkway drive tried to warn us
underrated comment, thumbs up👍
Sick sound ✔
Good look ✔
Intelligent lyrics ✔
Brilliant concept ✔
Stunning visuals ✔
One of the best bands of this generation ✔
That's quality metal for you.
Absolutely.... To bad it heavy metal and they won't reach all ears.... Probably one of the best metal bands of all time
Its 2020 now and this song has become so much more relevant, especially in Australia
I saw a video of the damage; of the animals burning, the people's homes in flames, the red sky and smoke. I immediately thought of this song. Especially the line "I can't watch it burn".
Do you know how many people were arrested for starting those fires? False Flag propaganda.
it was arson
Oath mate
Especially from 2:59
When the breakdown started at 3:30, I headbanged so hard I've hit my head against the desk and cracked the desk. What a good song!
Hahaha =)))
fuck yeah man
For real that's fucking funny your head must be pretty fucking tough ahaha
Mate if that's your reaction, then Parkway have done their job.
almost the same, my desk didnt cracked but my computer restarted...i was so mad i almost smashed my computer intentionally after that.
The breakdown gives me goosebumps because of the way they all scream "Behold the pale horse"
Fucking perfect
+Pink guy who knew pink guy liked parkway drive
momo Many people
+momo I knew that. Ffs do you even Filthy Frank?!
Bear Plays
apparently not very well haha
+Pink guy hola @ pink guy for liking parkway tho
One of the best metal videos I've ever seen, music's perfect, nothing flashy, it has meaning... we need more of that nowadays
Amen to that
this isnt metal its metalcore
Phuck Googele metalcore is a part of metal.
***** thats the funniest thing ive heard all day
If it's not metal it's a subgenre
And still there are people who think climate change isn't real and don't care about the environment and about the impact and responsibility of mankind.... Thank you for this song, PWD, and for caring.
Repent!! The End Is Near!!!
The whole "Atlas" album is just an absolute Metalcore masterpiece. The lyrics, the guitar work, the production quality, even the orchestral work on the title track is just amazing. By far my all-time favorite Metalcore album made. Good work guys.
ONE of the BEST metalcore songs EVER
1) This is my favorite band 2) This is my favorite song by them 3) They inspired me to get into sustainability and environmental ethics 4) Winston's vocals are legendary 5) Everyone in the band is fantastic 6) I love their fans as much as I love them. We're all one big family.
My 8th grade English teacher used this song as a lesson on the cost of humanities progress, me and him were the only ones jamming out in the back of the class. Fast forward 10 years I’ve been doing metal vocals ever since and fallen in love with heavy music. I won’t name drop too hard but “Grumpy Cat” from Rafer Johnson Middle School Kingsburg CA I hope you’re living well 🤘🏼
I love how normal these dudes look.
Totally agree, when you look at them, you don't expect them to be these epic rockers.
I know! I hate it when bands have to wear makeup and dress in all black to distract you from the fact that their music is mediocre.
TJ Deuces Maybe they like that type of wearing you know? Like PD likes this type.
True, but a lot of bands just do it for the "image".
TJ Deuces You mean like black veil brides?
I was passing by a club one night and I overheard this song playing there. I rushed and entered the club, headbanging the shit out of me on the floor. I was pleasently surprised to hear such a song in a club.
νcountry and location of the club?
if you may know?
+Stavros Sideris In Cluj, Romania. And the club it's called Flying Circus
Serios ? In Cluj ? wow , eu am auzit Bring Me To Life intr-un mall din Constanta , si m-am mirat putin .
wow really a Dance Club where do you live
Adam Bouley In Romania , Cluj .
The absolute best metalcore band I've ever seen live and I've seen a lot of em in concert. Everytime they come to nashville I'm there.
I agree. Saw them a couple weeks ago and they sounded amazing
I see them in london
I have been in the HC scene since I was 16. I’m too old to share how long that is….you are one of my favorite bands…you need to keep pushing this message! I love your new material but we need more of the self perseverance messages for the young generation getting into the scene
Glad to see people appreciate this video and song as much as i do. These guys have always been good but this last album is fucking insanity. Growing up love hardcore and metal, i think these guys are the perfect combo. I remember when these guys where playing small hardcore shows back on their first ep. They have worked hard and came along way.
Parkway Drive, The Amity Affliction, In Hearts Wake, Thy Art Is Murder.
Amazing Australian bands with a message.
Parkway drive make you feel br00tal
The amity affliction make you feel emotional
In hearts wake make you feel eargasmic
And I don't really listen to thy art is murder
+@InSoxWeTrust You forgot Make Them Suffer, Buried In Verona and Northlane...
You forget Aversion crown,Point below zero,I killed the prom queen. Greeting from borneo
and Feed Her to the Sharks
Feed her to shark badass!
Why are people complaining about BMTH in the comments? Why compare them? I love them both, Parkway were the first band to ever get me into heavy music years ago, and I've come across BMTH along the way, and now they're both my favourite bands. Sure they're different, they're meant to be. They've both been around for 10 years now and both deserve respect for how much they've contributed to the metalcore genre and the progress it's made.
“What will you tell your your a children when they ask you what went wrong.” Damn , that line makes me emotional
Well, nowadays they're telling them.. "it's climate change"
Tell them you aborted their baby sister, and they got lucky 😂
If only people would actually listen to their message.
yes. because "there will be no future if we can't learn from our mistakes".
Josh Roth Too many people like metal just because it's metal, and not for its true message. We entertain ourselves to death instead of fighting for truth.
Samuel Connett
That's deep
Samuel Connett agreed. Pop and rap songs are usually shallow. The biggest reason i love metal is specifically because the message is usually deep and meaningful and the vocals capture the deep emotions rap and pop rarely do. So many metal songs are about shit that matters and about problems in the world that need to change, SOME rap and pop songs speak of deep things but most don't whereas most metal songs do and the lyrics are more complex and interesting, the fact that rap and pop are so popular proves that most of us still aren't willing to face the deep and dark problems that plague humanity and would rather live a shallow life ignoring it all. What a sad state we're in.
Listen to Hactivist if you haven't. Good rap metal band imo.
The best metal core band there is, the passion from winston is incredible, I never tire of hearing his vocals
Tim Norman not anymore
Im coming from the future... they´ve changed a lot sadly, but still achieve big things.
September 2021 and im still blasting this in the car park before work. Timeless classic
Right there with you!
i came back to this gem after watching the clip of "black mammoth" from their buddies Fit for an autopsy. It's basically the exact same words and video lol
I was jamming it at work last night. Will tonight too bro
Same
Time flies!
I was passing by a sunday school one morning and I overheard this song playing there. I rushed and entered the room, headbanging the shit out of me on the floor. I was pleasently surprised to hear such a song in a church.
Even almost a decade later, this song is sanctified to its very core. Almost a decade later, and this song is absolutely still relevant. It can be taken figuratively, literally, whatever, and it still holds a similar message all the same. What a staple in history and hopefully a source of hope in times to come.
Enviornmentalcore. I dig.
***** Heard them, not a fan of the music at all, but absolutely dig the vibe/ message, and that's what counts :)
Yung Napkin Environmetalists.
***** Both are actually fu**ing awesome
***** Perhaps but their vocalist kills it for me, can't listen to them. PWD come together as a better package for me lol
They dont want you to dig.
i'm here because my favorite wrestler went to their concert and was headbanging his heart out to this song so i decided to give them a listen. Seth has good taste in music.
HELL YEA!
The blegh with the mitch lucker stomp was EPIC 😂 who's here in 2025?
Rip mitch
Who else agrees that Parkway Drive are the best metalcore band?
Rhys Mogg I don't know about "the best" metalcore band... due to the fact that there's so many of them out there but Parkway are certainly up there, along with August Burns Red! :)
Yeah love ABR. Architecs are pretty amazing too. Also, Bury Tomorrow.
As I Lay Dying, Killswitch Engage, All That Remains
+Jared Myers (Crazymonkey1133) Classic bands, and they got there a lot longer ago. Not to take anything away from the aforementioned bands.. they all rule.
I'd think they're deathcore because they don't have any legitimate singing where All That Remains does
This is the funeral of the earth!!!!
My girlfriends can't understand why I love these guys so much XD
friend...s?
friends who are girls
Mackin bitches
Str8 Casanova m8

Hands down one of their best songs made, period
3:48 Winston McCall beating the shit out of the air is ICONIC
1:28 that "BLEGH!" sounds powerfully amazing.
I agree, so powerful. Much different from how others attempt.
First time i heard this song i went back to it 5 times before i finished the whole song....
The only band I see that does that better is If I Were You, in songs like Lost.
@@crazyjew878 Architects
Save Australia Save the world. We need you to write a song again like this.Cheers From india ❤️
I feel so good when I see an indian in the comments section of metal video....😊😊
it was arson
check out My Heart and the Ocean by Heaven Shall Burn ;)
Ari Ari by the Bloodywoods is a good Indian metal song
Winston is seriously so amazing , thumbs up if Metal bands are more friendly than Pop bands 👍
Pop is shit
Pratyay Sarkar true
All hail to Nickelback lmao
even remotely comparing metal to pop is a huge insult lmao
He is the sexiest man I ever seen. Wanna him so bad 😍
That opening riff😩😩🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🔥🔥🔥
This song made me throw my garbage in the recycle bin
Lol oh shit. That was good hahahaha.
hahaha epic response!!
ha funny
Mom wouldn't scream at you!
ahahahahhaha)))) mazafaka
I listened to this while taking a shower.
Most brutal shower ever
Patricio Rodriguez same here lol
x3
Basically a more hardcore rise against
i had to replace my shower cause i listened to PWD in the shower. apparently showers dont like to mosh and tend to break
Jjj
I start listening to these guys back in 2015 and I became and instant fan of their music. The next five years in my life were difficult but I'm glad I got Parkway Drive to motivate myself and keep going forward. I love how powerful his lyrics tend to be!
This song and video are becoming more relevant and important than ever.
And now, 7 years later, the Amazon is on fire.
How will we justify watching the World die?
It's fake news you fucktard do some research. What's burning is farmland by the farmers preparing for new crops, same pattern every year, happens the same season. Stop spreading lies. Deforestation is the real problem.
The amazon is burning to clear room for animal agriculture. If you really care then stop consuming animals.

Winston is a really good person
If there is a heaven after this life, he deserved it most
Been gordans face at 1:36 and 1:42 is priceless that like heart of a lion warrior style !!! Hell yeah rock on badass parkway drive
Their drummer is a boss
swing is evidence of that
Fo real
Coffin Nail Productions Dude is a magnitude 9 earthquake
Ty Rivera dude for real man
i love this band!
These guys kill pretty much all the music that has been released in 2012. Amazing!
i am having a speech about protecting the environment tomorrow on school , can i sing this song instead ???
If you can that would be awesome A++
Hell, yeah!
Stupid people will accuse you of being a satanist and wanting to shoot everyone in there
@@PedroVieira-jv2ef Sad, but true...
@@ravenclaw_3160 man! At my school, it doesn't matter if you listen to metal, they'll just call you emo
Y'all cant deny when it comes to parkway drive they have some of the best breakdowns ever made.
When I was younger I thought this song was directed to the older generations now I see he is talking to ours. This song hits alot harder with that realization. Im 24.
This song couldn't be any more relevant than it is today! PWD forever!
Wow.
No makeup, no leather, no spikes.
Just casual clothing.
Finally!
Yeah they are surfies.
+Rhys Werner Um because they are watch the music video karma, or their documentary. They have an entire album Deep Blue using the ocean as symbolism. fucking numb nuts
Agreed! But, there's still to find a decent band without tattoos!
@@xcanofwoopass they're not surfers we just live on the coast you fucking spastic
+Rhys Wiener they LITERALLY talk about surfing in interviews with footage of them surfing you fucking sped. I guess the sun has gotten to you, being that you're an aussie so you must surf all the time right?
Parkway Drive - not only incredible sound, but also always conveying an important message
5 years later... still awesome
2023📻💓🎧📸👍🇷🇺🐻🇷🇺👍💓🇷🇺💓👍🇷🇺🐻❄️🇷🇺👍
THIS MUSIC VIDEO RULES
f yah man
I screamed "best music video ever" as the intro to this song began playing during their show at warped tour in montreal this year. People vaguely recalled the message and were like haha, oh yeah...
This is my favorite Parkway Drive song and Music video.
i was listening to Metalcore when i was a little kid since I grew up a little. when I left the "teen years" my taste in music changed a lot. today I turn 29 and holy fuck parkway drive still kicks ass! damn this track is fucking perfect
Ah, yes. A trip down the memory lane doesn't hurt every once in a while.
Got this album and Deep Blue for Christmas! :D Loving their stuff!
Awesome album :)
No better gift than an album from a band you arent that famailar with.
You just get to discover it :)
Yo, whos here in 2021! Still solid ass band.
yerp
I just discovered them and I'm hooked
@@distilledbrainstem7364 me too
Here in 2024!
2021 and this song was released in 2012... these guys been preaching this for a long time... this song couldn't be more true.... almost prophet like message
his brutals when he says "There will be no future"
If only the world would hear this message it would probably be a lot better than it is now
this band is so amazing... miss the good old days of metalcore…
This song is beautiful. It has so much meaning and truth to it. I could literally listen to this song on loop for 30min. Cool song PWD, you caught all of our attention.
Thats what i like about this band is there heavy and they speak the truth
It's 2022 and this song hits harder than ever.
Next to Mitch Lucker, Winston is my favorite vocalist/frontman
Came here after listening to "Darker still", man things have changed they are becoming softer and softer, i am a fan still but this old shit is what makes Parkway Drive one of the best band out there
LOL same here, came right after hearing that song, don't like the new stuff, way too soft.
Not that there's anything wrong with having "softer" songs though, surely? You look at some of the best Melodic metal bands out there who play heavy riffs with crunchy choruses and even they have acoustics in their songs as well. PWD from what I can hear are branching the gap between having heavy melodic songs and softer ones. Best of both world if you ask me because the softer songs will create a nice atmosphere in a live setting.
One of the sickest breakdowns!
2019, Rainforests burning down...this is the first suggestion to my Playlist by YT.
What a beast of a song.. the whole atlas album is a masterpiece
Best song ever
I've been fan of these guys since this song was released and I must say this is indeed their best material to date. Facts.
that final breakdown is perfect,holy shiiiit!
this is basically a metalcore version of Ready to Fall, i love it
Even after 12 years...the breakdown in the end its fakin dope and megamassive!!!
If I had to pick a favorite PWD song this would have to be it. Such a masterpiece all around!
This is more relevant than ever. Their own home is burning, they can really watch it burn now...
Holy shit your right dude
Winston is a fucking prophet
Where is their home??
@@johndoe-ng8gb According to Wikipedia it's in New South Wales, Australia. You know, the where the fires are.
So *this* is why Old Navy is always out of the color of plain T-shirt I want. Parkway Drive fucking stole em all!!!!
I hate it when people hear me listening to this and say it's not real music even though it's more lyrical, technical, talented and hype and it has a deeper message than any of they're old school rock n roll
Its definitely harder to do proper false chords than to just do basic singing...
What I'm saying is is that Winston McCall is more talented than Ozzie Osborne
Parkways Lyrics are slowly reversing, which is a good thing, Winston has changed so much Lyrically
Still slapping in 2019 and still no change on the earth but negative
I like Atlas.. but for some reason i can't get over Killing With a Smile and Horizons. Both of those albums were just perfect to me. Deep Blue and Atlas were disappointing to me personally. Hope Parkway makes another album though. I own all of their albums, and both of their DVD's. Big fan!
*(Anasasis, pandora, carrion, romance is dead, bla bla bla). What other songs can you highlight of those old albums, and wich ones of the Atlas one. I thought deep blue was pretty good, it is. Deadweight, Hollow, Unrest, Leviathan I, Karma. {Pretty good stuff}.
I agree, Horizons is by far my favourite PWD album. But the good news is they're writing a new one all year...hence why they aren't constantley touring.
I genuinely love all of their albums, I can't think of the last time I've ever said that about a band.. That's why Parkway are, and always will be, my all time favourite band :D
Different producers. Adam D had a particular influence and made them very structured. But as they have said the last two albums have been reflective, of songs they wanted to write.
blah blah blah the old stuff is better than the new stuff. ya we've heard it a thousand times before.
All these guys kill it.....wish I could play so heavy thank you parkway
"Dark Days"
What will you tell your children when they ask you "What went wrong?"?
How can you paint a picture of a paradise lost

Who cares if they're normal or not. We here are all people that enjoy this kind of music.... but the most important thing is the lyrics to the song!!! This song has a powerful meaning behind it.
This song gets me pumped.
23k and nothing has changed
A generation born to witness the end of the world
it be 2021 and this one still gets me lost in the sauce
I miss this Parkway so much
i m addicted for this Song.... omg
That freaking breakdown at the end... wtf😳🥵. BEHOLD THE PALE HORSE!!!
This is a great song but everybody is missing the point to this song. We are fucking up our world. "Our days our numbered" is so true. Read the lyrics in the description, blast this song and make a change. \m/
Who was missing the point of the song? It's pretty clear start to finish, and if you've actually watched the video, I don't see how anyone could miss it.
Corey Morrison
You have to understand that there are A LOT of kids watching this video and are in the mindset of "Oh wow, Im so depressed, my life sucks" (despite the fact that they more than likely have a roof over their heads constanly have been given the chance to be helped if they truely are suffering from something). I think that is what MINIWEATMAN was aiming at.
KryptikCpu No one has been saying that, so his comment is still being pulled out of nowhere. Also, depression isn't as simple as that. You can have perfect opportunities offered to you and still be depressed. It's a mental illness that creeps up on anyone. Unfortunately, thanks to social media sites (I'm looking at you Tumblr), having depression has been romanticised to the point where it is almost something that people subconsciously desire. That's why we have a lot of teenagers who aren't genuinely depressed claiming that they are and probably believing it too. There's probably some that have totally convinced themselves so much so that they've actually become depressed. The mind is funny how it works like that.
Damn right that what I'm saying but!!! They do say "we inherit our fathers" sins....... Which confuses me Haha
So cool I got to crowd surf to them !!!!! & started the Mosh!!! To their end set list Carrion!!!
Their also saying we are the Pale Horse....
Back in the day this brutal band was non commercial....❤
Eu sempre vou amar essa música
More relevant than ever these (dark) days.
My favorite lyric in this song is “Behold the pale horse!” which is a direct reference to the Bible’s pale horse of death - the herald of Armageddon. Christian conservatives can sometimes obsess about the second coming of Christ, but they’re staring into the cold eyes of their pale horse and completely missing it.
This song never goes away for me.
Parkway drive kicks ass
The screaming kicks ass
The drumming kicks ass
The melodic guitaring kicks ass
The fact that I jizz myself kicks ass
The fact that I headbang every single time I hear any song kicks ass
These guys are metal as fuck \m/
