Ration my breath - terror clandestine in my chest. Mangled, I lay on a foreign forest floor. [1] Caught in an instant, divided by distance. Alone in the fray, clutching my trigger I pray as I make amends with death on a distant shore. [2]
Such is the fate of the nation state [3] (despite the myths they propagate). [4] The narrative never fits the crime. Democracy’s died this death a thousand times. The masses kneel before the golden cross - held by the priest [5] who bows at the feet of the king. [6]
We stand alone in the dust of what could be, fighting to find our humanity.
Bury me with my name in an unmarked grave - another casualty to the vanity of history. [7] The war marches on after the killing ends. [8] Take our lives: Colonize our minds. [9]
I’ve been digging through timelines, historical bylines; I find the fatal flaw in our design lies between thoughts we had and words we knew [10] - between what we’re told and what is true. [11] Who fuels the fascist? [12] A classist - inculcating the masses in passes... under the contrived countenance of contrition. [13]
The victor writes the story [14] - more often burns the manuscript. Set fire to a pyre, cremate the crimes that they commit. [15] But the flames kept us warm, so we bit our tongues and tasted scorn.
The bitter stench of finite men betrayed by the thieves they swore to pretend. The bell will toll [16] and in the end lay only echoes of what could have been. [17]
We stand alone in the dust of what could be, fighting to find our humanity. We stand alone in the dust of what could be; nothing we fought for will set us free. [18]
Throw myself, headlong, to the jaws of the beast: [19] The war machine that feeds for eternity.
Throw myself, headlong, to the jaws of the beast: The war machine that turns for eternity.
Throw myself, headlong, to the jaws of the beast: The war machine that feeds for eternity.
Throw myself, headlong, to the jaws of the beast: The war machine that turns for eternity.

BURY ME WITH MY NAME IN AN UNMARKED GRAVE!
Joel Torres I wanna get that tatted on me. The most valuable thing a man can ever give you is his name and I think that's truly wonderful
Truly the most important band of our generation.
Rui Carneiro agreed!
You must be the guy on their Facebook post that commented the same exact thing. I agree my friend.
Indeed I am my friend!
Them and Architects
Honestly, I agree. I’m an atheist so this band kinda turned me off with the religious undertones at first. But the more I listened the more I realized there are so many secular themes in their songs that are extremely important, relevant and powerful. Now I can’t stop listening to them. These guys are incredibly talented
An absolute BEAST of a track!
Nik Nocturnal Cover tomorrow?
its already up bro
Fuck off vote brigading piece of shit
max & Q Right, how does he get so many damn likes for his comment in every thread?
He does the same shit on reddit. Or atleast he tried, cause he got downvoted to shit after the first 10 mins.
that rap flow on 1:35 is dope.
STRAIGHT BARS
me and my gf always joke about garret rapping. he could pull it off with ease. he bends the English language to his will. Amazing word structure and flow.
Matt Taylor you're like twelve
So sick dude I love that part
Dwėsk had to repeat that part a few times. Much flow.
Silent Planet is a gift from God. So good guys. Lover for life.
This song makes me wanna yeet myself out the door and get a library card
freaking died 🤘 i feel it
lmaooo best comment ever
Wokecore
SAME
Jason Black I consider myself yoted
As a spanish who lost someone in our civil war, this is truly emotional. It's necessary to make visible the victims. Thank you Silent Planet.
Not every band would write a song inspired by the Spanish Civil War. Interesting stuff.
tallwhiteninja Damn it, I thought I would hear first with Sabaton.
tallwhiteninja I met Garrett last year after a gig and chatting with him he told me the new Silent Planet album would be about the Spanish civil war, I was like "wtf are u kidding me?" because I'm Spanish and the last thing I expected they would write lyrics about is Spanish civil war.... And now I see it was true lol
@@TheJackx666 metallica did on for whom the bell tolls
DEN SPANSKE BORGERKRIG!?!
Citat- Jens
Every single song they make seems to be nothing short of a masterpiece. This is brutal. This is artistic. This is critical and beautiful. Really well done! Also Kudos to the video editor.
They really do pour every ounce of spirit they got into creation. If you've ever seen them live, you see a whole other element of that too.
This is precisely the kind of metal I was longing for. I even prayed God for a band like this to appear.
wow, this video is like a modern 3D representantion of Pablo's Picasso Guernica painting..sick!
those lyrics
those riffs
those chops
Holy shit
Elliot Hopkins those bass drops
those mannequins
In awe of this absolute UNIT of a song
HERE WE GO YALL
THE BOYS ARE BACK
This guy is secretly a history professor...lets just not deny this.
When mitch writes an absolute banger
Silent Planet: Making Metal Lyrics Great Again
Have heard of Living Sacrifice?
On same label mind you ..
Garrett is bar none the best lyricist in modern metal.
Kyle SOM not metal but Beastie Boys - You gotta fight.....for your right.....to paaaaartay! What more do we need to know😀
BT Studio Productions i love the guy but isnt half the lyrics what someone else said?
Rob duff There's a phrase in the music/art world that great artists steal from a lot of different sources. The fact that Garrett is able to make coherent songs on so many topics, with so many references, is just a testament to his ability as a lyricist and as a student of knowledge (that's a dumb phrase but I can't think of a better way to say it). As far as complexity goes, I'd put him up there with Aaron Weiss of Mewithoutyou. It's definitely a different style of writing, though; in going for the powerful, simplistic side, I can't help think of Marvin Gaye or Neil Young, which lyrically have just a different effect.
How can anyone dislike this? I'm genuinely curious because this is the closest thing to perfection in our imperfect world
burnout1256 a lot of people just don’t like screams. Some people are different.
i'm pretty sure Dwayne "the rock" Johnson is the closest thing to perfection in our imperfect world.
NINETEEN ANNOTATIONS!? Garrett went all out this time folks.
Sterling Hoffman actually it was Mitch who wrote it
+Suckmydragonballz how do you know that?
Mitch is the only person in the band who isn't Christian (anymore) so I don't think he would have added a Bible reference if he was the one who wrote it
Jeffrey Agyepong because he said it on his Instagram
Jeffrey Agyepong you can find value and meaningful wisdom in the Bible and not be a Christian
+BadBeattie nope I disagree with you, that Wisdom in the Bible will be life changing for you if you if you find it
I remember the week long lecture we had on Guernica in College. One of Picasso's greatest and most disturbing paintings in my opinion. Not surprised at all that Silent Planet would find inspiration in it, it's such a truly tragic tale.Thank you Silent Planet, for creating the music we need, whether or not we're ready for the difficult truths it has us accept.
These guys really are cerebral on a level you don't find anywhere else in metal or music in general.
2:52 best vocals
I love his lows
Absolutely brutal. I’m gonna lose it live
Seriously cannot wait for this album
Elliot Hopkins SAME! can’t come soon enough
Garrett, Mitch, Thomas, and Alex are such gifted musicians. I absolutely adore their creativity and inventiveness. Cannot wait to see them live this summer.
This band is underrated because feeble minds can't keep up with the lyricism.
This has so much relevance to what we are seeing on this planet at this very moment.
First as I lay dying then erra and now silent planet this is the best month of 2018 so far!
💪😍 Literaryflexcore
This is magical, and the synth at the start although only a small part of the song is everything. I love this.
Casey Walle believe it or not, that synth effect can be achieved with guitars and pedals. I remember their guitarist doing a live video on Instagram where he showed part of his recording process, and you could hear him doing similar effects there
Let's talk about that scream at 3:23
Elisha Long you mean Garrett’s war cry?
If you like that definitely check out fit for an autopsy
also if you dont like it, still check out FFAA, theyre awesome
Elisha Long sooo good
Oh shit bro funny to find u here didn't know u were into this music haha
The existence of this band means so much to me.
Philip Coats I’m so happy someone feels the same as me!! But it looks like a lot of people do! That’s awesome
Those lyrics, droping some truth bombs
What a brilliant song. Everything from the lyrics, instrumentals, song writing; I’m excited for what else they have in store. They keep getting better and better.
This is just pure art to me. This band is on another level with lyricism.
This song is straight fire, pun intended.
Sometimes I feel Silent Planet lyrics are too smart for me, even with the annotations to help.
Chol .Yerlow wokecore
😂 i totally feel you on this
Chol .Yerlow they have vids where they deconstruct all the lyrics!
God bless you child
For me it’s official that basically no other artist can even come close to Silent Planet‘s lyrical content. I mean look 19(!!) annotations? They could pretty much cover world history in an album.
One of the shooting stars of the modern metal scene, hands down.
1:35-1:51 SHEESH
Bruh... No kidding
I heard that pimpin
A master of his craft no doubt
It’s like ratm on steroids.
And i fucking love it.
\m/
SLNTPLNT continues to capture cerebral chaotic cadences. Garrett’s lyricism is infectious.
This song hits so hard. I love it and have listened to it every week since it came out.
Watching every day, how goverments spread lies, how people forget what love means, how we spend our time watching stupid videos on the internet, I am grateful that I can find myself with every song of Silent Planet. Such an unique band, nothing compares to time, when I just explore their newest songs. Kiitos, my friends. You are the light that shines in darkness. Never stop making music, I mean art.
More metal than the periodic table
This came up after Monuments, I didn't even notice that the band had changed until the rap singing part. I'm definitely gonna look for more from these guys
definitely gonna be one of the sickest albums released this year
Just heard this song on Spotify after trilogy blew up a while ago. Holy shit. I had no idea this band was so technical in lyricism, let alone instruments! I’m only two songs deep and I’m already in love! I seriously can’t wait to dissect every song in their discography!
I cannot stop listening to this song. I just keep replaying and replaying.
The camera work and how your perspective is played with is just incredible
aburnedpotato my favorite part about these videos
I don't always agree with the message of the lyrics, but that doesn't take away from the fact this bands material is without a doubt some of the most thought provoking, musically appealing material of just about any band out there. Great job.
Thomas Fraser what reality do they speak of? Please humor me, I'm curious
The funny thing about history is that its pure truth. Not agreeing with history is like not agreeing with the fact that the sky is blue or something like that lol.
hurr durr history is facts all the time and there where never any lies
hurr durr the conflicts in the middle east were justified
GET FUCKING STRAWMANNED
What are you guys debating? Some specifics would be nice.
@@apvcore Be careful with that sentiment. As the song even states "The victor writes the history but more often burns the manuscript." In fact America is dealing with this now with Julian Assanage and the other whistleblowers.
I never know what to expect from a Silent Planet song. The Alex’s drumming and Mitch’s writing flow so well together. Garret is a mad man. Thomas just gets better at singing in every record. Hehehe
they are really pushing the metalcore djent genre! always up with their sick tracks! good jobs my dudes!
Incredible single! Garrett's spit after the first chorus is freakin' epic :D
0:00 - 3:58 actual best part
Elliot Hopkins 3:57*
The worst part 3:58
The victor writes the story - more often burns the manuscript. 🔥🤘🏽
Awesome song! This guys are so underrated is a crime.
Always learning new words with these guys, amazing lyrics.
I am absolutely blown away as usual. 😱😱😱
One of the best Songs that I've ever heard
Another powerful track. Silent planet never fails to blow me away . garret what a lyrical genius. And the rest of the band are sick too.
the bit where he raps the lyrics is so dope
What poetry. Such powerful knowledge packed into 4 minutes.
Yet Drake & Cardi B currently sit at the top of the Billboard 100. Explains a lot.
Lyrics and annotations!? Way to set the new standard, fucking awesome to see that much effort put in. Really shows how much you care about what you're putting out there.
Could not be more stoked for this album and to see it live. Throw down I shall
This will forever be my favorite song of all time. It is so powerful, it is hard describe
The vocal pattern/phrasing at 1:35 was awesome. Garrett is a beast!
I WAITED FOR SUCH A LONG TIME. I WAS NOT PREPARED.
This got *WILL PUTNEY WRITTEN ALL OVER IT* 🤘🤘🤘, God bless that man, so underrated for everything he's done for all this young band's sound changing the game 👊
Arise BC 374 My thoughts EXACTLY!!!
My friend said there is no power in words, so I slapped him with a dictionary. Song is solid af, djent rap breakdown doe
2018 best album of the years already goes to Silent Planet
Edwardo56 here’s hoping the album actually releases in 2018
I say Impending Doom! I've been waiting 4 1/2 years for a new album! But the new Fit For A King and Silent Planet albums will be sick, too!
I can get on board with that. This shit is very promising
I’m going with Alkaloid for now
Genius! The Best songwriter on genre!
Damn these boys push boundaries like no other
Another album to pre-order then
My mom got me a silent planet T-shirt for school, in confusion i looked up silent planet on yt, now im here... not bad i actually kinda like this
Gah the lyrics of this band are absolutely amazing. Huge respect for the amount of time that goes into them, as well as all the other music. Anytime I want to learn something, SP lyrics is where i go. The annotations are great
Lyrically unmatched
Well you did it again, made me cry... such amazing lyrics, rhythm, melody... I can't believe it
❤we stand alone in the dust of what could be❤
Garrett's lyrics still continue to amaze me. So good!
We dont deserve a band like Silent Planet. Holy fucking banger..
Cnt get enough of this band !!👊👊👊
when I thought EWS couldn't be topped...holy ghost. Garret is the best compositor
Athos Oliver EWS?
NiiTeV2 the album : Everything was sound
Athos Oliver ah I see, thought you were talking about another band for some reason lol. I agree though! Amazing lyrics, truly a brilliant mind.
I think Mitch wrote the original in 2015
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKN' SICK!
FANTASTIC lyrical work. Too often metal bands get too generic with there writing and message. Keep it up, you got something unique
Oh..... Oh my........
1:35 - 1:50 what the f***???? Stunning...
The art. Absolutely flawless.
Can't wait to see them play next month. Always wanted to see them live and now I finally can. Fuck yeah.
This is beautifully tragic. Or tragically beautiful. I can't decide...
Nothing will ever be better than native blood for me but every song you guys push out is always nothing short of perfection and I thank you
The imagery makes it so aesthetical, the lyrics that could be so meaningless are so meaningful, you truly putting up some high quality in metal.
The fact that they lay out where the lyrical references are so people can expand their consciousness is really really going to wake people up. Keep it up. Please. We need you.
This song came when i least expected it, but when i needed it most. The world is so crazy right now.
Amazing band, amazing music, amazing video but most of all AMAZING LYRICS.
Incredible how I can feel angry, guilty, sad and so on just by listening to this band.
30 seconds in and I'm already getting massive chills. What a gorgeous song!
I waited patiently for a new song and as always, was not disappointed. You guys are absolutely amazing at your work, a gift for the music industry tbh.
Seriously, this is awesome!
I have no words for this!
Just... deep! Very deep! Wonderful music!
Thanks for this.
so...i just randomly clicked on this link. omg...i've listened to it probably 5 times on repeat. absolutely amazing
Been listening to this song on repeat. The riffs and the vocals flow in a very exhilarating way. Can't wait to hear the rest!
I. Can’t. Stop. Watching.
his cleans ARE SO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD
Garret's got a sick flow going on here! Silent Planet never disappoints.
An absolute trifecta of wonder:
Work of art for a music video (well executed and linked to the lyrics of the song), an absolute gargantuan of a track, a well researched/thought out lyrics.
Legendary job!
I love the Lou Koller worship in the vocals. Fantastic stuff.
Brilliant track! Probably my favourite SP song yet. Really looking forward to what's to come from these guys.
I love this song... never heard of the band but it has that “feeling” to it you know......
