Black Tide is an American heavy metal band from Miami, Florida. Formed in 2004, the group is currently signed to Interscope Records and is composed of Gabriel Garcia (lead vocals and lead guitar), Austin Diaz (rhythm guitar and vocals), Zachary Sandler (bass and vocals), and Steven Spence (drums, percussion). They released their debut album, Light from Above, on March 18, 2008, through Interscope Records when Garcia was 15 years old. Their second album, Post Mortem, was released on August 23, 2011.
Black Tide was founded in Miami, Florida in 2004 under the name "Radio" by guitarist Gabriel Garcia and his older brother Raul Garcia. Raul recruited second guitarist Alex Nuñez, then later bassist Zachary Sandler. At the time, Gabriel Garcia was 11 years old and Nuñez was just 13 years old. Garcia, Nuñez, and Sandler recruited drummer Steven Spence, after Raul's departure from the group. This completed the band's lineup. The band started playing local shows, eventually gaining the attention of record labels due to the members' young age and talent. Winder Marin, the former drummer was dropped and a replacement was brought in to keep the young image of the band. In 2005, Black Tide signed a demo deal with Atlantic Records as Radio. The deal lasted for only a year, before the band was spotted by a record executive for EMI, who notified Interscope Records of the band. By mid 2007, now named Black Tide, they were signed to Interscope.
Threat Signal is a Canadian Melodic death metal band hailing from the city of Hamilton. However, different members of the band hail from other parts of the Ontario province. Since the band's formation in 2003, Threat Signal has released three studio albums and have toured with bands such as Mnemic, Soilwork, Epica, and Darkest Hour.
Threat Signal was formed in the late summer of 2003 by cousins Jon and Rich Howard, who then added composer/guitarist Kyle McKnight. The trio then found drummer Adam Matthews in early 2004. Threat Signal posted their song "Rational Eyes" on an international metal chart on GarageBand.com. After a few weeks, the song reached #1, and it has received many awards including best guitars, best drums, best male vocals, best production, song of the week, and song of the day. In August 2004, Eric Papky, Kyle's former guitar teacher, joined the band on bass. Success on GarageBand.com sparked some early record label interest and helped create a following even before the band had ever played live. In August 2005 Marco Bresette replaced Eric Papky on bass guitar.
At the age of 13 I signed my first deal, little did I
know what that meant
My father told me to never let any of this get to my
head
At the age of 16 I was higher than the stars, I thought
I was living the life
Caught up in the mess I almost forgot the most
important thing
My family, the heartening
All I can say is I'm sorry
My mother said chase your dreams
My father taught me to believe, in love through thick
and thin
My brothers took my attitude
I'll be there with gratitude (gratitude)
And love through thick and thin
Now at the age of 19 I take a look back and see all my
mistakes
And the biggest one of all is not being there when you
needed me
All I can do now is set these [?] I fought for you
every day
I'll make up for every single thing I'll be here for
you until the end
My family, the heartening
I'll promise I will be here
My mother said chase your dreams
My father taught me to believe, in love through thick
and thin
My brothers took my attitude
I'll be there with gratitude (gratitude)
And love through thick and thin
Father, I'll always remember the world with you by my
side
And father, your always be my hero, oh oh
And mother, when I think about the [?] oh oh, oh oh, oh
And brothers the two of you are my
My family, the heartening
I'll promise I will be here
My mother said chase your dream
My father taught me to believe in love through the
thick and thin
My Brothers took my attitude
I'll be there with gratitude (gratitude)
And love through thick and thin
And love through thick and thin
We are the ones, we are the warriors
We are the ones who fight for our right
We fight alone, and yet we get what we want
We love the battle and we will die for a cause
We are the warriors of time [4x]

I need to find the light
To shine my way through
I feel so confused
That I might need some help
Lead me to the path
I need to find it anyway
Show me the way
To the fatal world
Show me the way
To the fatal world [2x]
Please show me the way
And I will never complain
It's only a matter of time
Before I go insane
Lead me to the path
I need to find it anyway
Show me the way
To the fatal world
Show me the way
To the fatal world [2x]
If you let me inside
Creation will crash through the sky
A catastrophic misconception of light

[Alex solo]
Show me the way
To the fatal world

To the fatal world
I'm so damn numb
Nothing else matters
I'm miserable
Yet so invincible
I lost my innocence so long ago
Held on to the things that I should've let go
I wanna wake up on the other side
So I can see the world through clearer eyes
This can't be right!
I'll fight til the bitter end
(Fight til the end)
Take my life back again
(Fight til the end)
I'll fight til the bitter end
(Fight til the end)
Take my life, take my life
Take my life back from me
I'm laying low
Up on my cloud
Turned to ignorance so long ago
Dying to remember what I used to know
This can't be right!
I'll fight til the bitter end
(Fight til the end)
Take my life back again
(Fight til the end)
I'll fight til the bitter end
(Fight til the end)
Take my life, take my life
Take my life back from me
I know where this road ends but I can't stop
Speeding, exceeding all the limits that my hearts been given
I know where this road ends and I need to stop
I'm pleading, I'm screaming
Don't want to be another wound left bleeding
I'll fight til the bitter end
(Fight til the end)
Take my life back again
(Fight til the end)
I'll fight til the bitter end
(Fight til the end)
Take my life, take my life
I'm like a shockwave coming through your door
I'm like a bullet at the speed of light
I go around taking peoples lives
While you sit around saying lies
When I'm around you'll feel the pain
And when I'm done you will be no more
Your life is through now mine begins
My days of agony are now gone
I'm a shockwave and I don't need anyone
I'll follow my ways 'til the day I die
I'm a shockwave and I'll take your fuckin' life
Don't mess with me I'm a shockwave ready to kill
I am the one who feeds off your life
I'll be right there when you're ready to die
I am a killer but they're all scared
When I rise no time is spared
I'm a shockwave and I don't need anyone
I'll follow my ways 'til the day I die
I'm a shockwave and I'll take your fuckin' life
Don't mess with me I'm a shockwave ready to kill
[Solo (Gabriel)]
I'm a shockwave and I don't need anyone

I like to live my life on the edge
No one can stop me, no!
Now it's too late
Never thinking twice about what I do
I'm like a savage animal on the loose
Live fast, oh you gotta die young [3x]
[Alex solo]
I live my life, don't wanna waste no time
I don't need no rules, all I touch is mine
Never thinking twice about what I do
I'm like a savage animal on the loose
Live fast, oh you gotta die young [3x]
[Gabriel solo]
Rippin' and shreddin' at speeds faster than Hell
No one's gonna stop me now, not even time will tell
Crashin' through the walls of time
Explosions from below, no ones gonna stop this ride
The doors of time will blow
Live fast, oh you gotta die young [3x]
When the days grow darker
And the foes are full of fear
The light will show
And the enemy will fall
This is our downfall
This is our crusade
The days of struggle and agony
Must end
This warfare we create
We shall destroy
And the light will show
Light from above
Please show yourself and save us all
Bright you must blaze
Your time has come to reign, to shine
Now that things are clear again
The battle must go on
Sacrifice our primal thought
So the battle must end
I've been waiting way, too long
For this day has now shown
We must fight
It's the only way
Light from above
Please show yourself and save us all
Bright you must blaze
Your time has come to reign, to shine
Light from above

Fight for your life
Your time has come to reign, to shine

Are you the one
That I've been looking for all along
I can't wait any longer
I don't have much time
Please tell me now
Let me have you
Let me touch you
Let me get inside [1x]
Your skin, your exquisite flesh, your sweat
Drips down your neck, please tell me one day
You'll be mine, all mine
The heat from your body, drives me insane
And I doubt that I can stand much longer
When I'm around you my body aches
And when I see your face everything else
Just seems fake
Let me have you
Let me touch you
Let me get inside [3X]
How much longer must I wait
How much longer will I crave
How much longer can I stand you
I'm trapped in this Hell
[Gabriel solo 2]
Are you the one
That I've been looking for all along
I can't wait any longer
I don't have much time
Please tell me now
Let me have you
Let me touch you
Every night I pray for a dream
You start in
And every night I pray for a chance
You'll be there when I wake.
The truth of it is
Nothing I do will bring you back
So I'm waiting for my ride up into the sky.
(Chorus)
And I will meet you there
I will meet you there
And I will meet you there
I will meet you there
You left such a strong resonance
Just to feel you all around
I know you're watching over us
Like the angel you've always been
The truth of it is
Nothing I feel will bring you back
So I'm waiting for my ride up into the sky
(Chorus)
And I will meet you there
I will meet you there
And I will meet you there
I will meet you there
I love you so much more than just the heart beat in my chest
I love you so much more than just this heart.
I love you so much more than just the heart beat in my chest
I love you so much more than just this... heart.
The truth of it is
Nothing I feel will bring you back
So I'm waiting for my ride up into the sky
(Chorus)
And I will meet you there
I will meet you there
And I will meet you there
I will meet you there
And I love you so much more than just... this... heart
And I love you so much more than just... this... heart
(Guitar Solo)
This heart...

Hey, ey
Yeah, ah
Let it out
Hey, ey
Yea, ah, ah
Let it out
You like to bite your own tongue
Shouldn't keep your mind closed
Gotta let them all know
What you're capable of
Don't second guess your heart
Go with what feels right
Gotta let them all know
What you locked up inside
Shouldn't hold on to things
That won't let you move on
Shouldn't hold yourself
Let yourself go
Let it out, say what you have to say
'Cause it's not worth the wait, let it out
And don't back down, don't turn away
No, it's not worth the wait and not worth the pain
So let it out, let it out
Don't wanna look back and think
You could have made things alright
With just one simple line
You chose to keep in your mind
You wanna look back and say
I did the best that I could
Maybe my best wasn't enough
(But it's the thought that counts)
Shouldn't hold on to the things
That won't let you move on
Shouldn't hold yourself back
Let yourself go and
Let it out say what you have to say
'Cause it's not worth the wait let it out
And don't back down don't turn away
No, it's not worth the wait and it's not worth the pain
So let it out, let it out
You wanna look back and say
You wanna look back and feel
I did the best that I could
I did the best that I could
You wanna look back and say
You wanna look back and feel
I am proud of
All that I have done
Shouldn't hold on to the things
That won't let you move on
Shouldn't hold yourself back
Let yourself
(Go)
Let it out say what you have to say
'Cause it's not worth the wait let it out
Let it out say what you have to say
'Cause it's not worth the wait let it out
And don't back down don't turn away
No, it's not worth the wait and it's not worth the pain
So let it out, let it out
Let it out say what you have to say
'Cause it's not worth the wait
(Just)
Let it out
(Let it out)
And don't back down don't turn away
No, it's not worth the wait and it's not worth the pain
I can see you're scared
And I can see your hands shaking like leaves
"Blessed are the peacemakers, the children of God"
And we all witness the massacres in it's name
The genocides it creates
And we all witness and we all partake
I can see you coward
Just like a man scared of dark
Engaging war in the name of the most high
Just like a lamb misguided towards the holy light
Keep apprehending the end and the end will surely come
A self-fulfilled prophecy
The story of a celebration of ignorance
And old traditions helped us deny the obvious
This madness is ruining us all
In it's name, in our name
A celebration of ignorance
A reenactment of a scene we've celebrated
And now, we don't care, never did, the black tide will soon hit the coast
You think this story started hard, wait this story's ending bad
A nation, a prophet, a new enemy
He claims God hears the words from his lips
And will show us the way to Salvation
You drink his words
Blood of Christ
Commandments
I tell you all the things you wanna hear
You ramble on about how I'm that fire
So after all this time you're still so blind
Thought I was yours
You must have gone and lost your mind
I took it all, there's nothing left
That you're showing me your weakness
You're so naive
I tell you all the things you wanna hear
You ramble on about how I'm that fire
But if you knew, how far this is from real
You walk away knowing I'm that fire
Nothing's changed, another days has gone
Full of lies, I only told what you want
You've hit the wall and I can tell
'Cause you're giving in to your to weakness
You're so naive
You're so naive
I tell you all the things you wanna hear
You ramble on about how I'm that fire
But if you knew, how far this is from real
You walk away knowing I'm that fire
Fire
I tell you all the things you wanna hear
You ramble on about how I'm that
I tell you all the things you wanna hear
You ramble on about how I'm that fire
But if you knew, how far this is from real
You walk away knowing I'm that
I tell you all the things you wanna hear
You ramble on about how I'm that fire
But if you knew, how far this is from real
You walk away knowing I'm that fire
Fire
When you feel the world is above you
When you feel like screaming your lungs out
When you're in the darkness all alone
Don't let it eat you alive
You'll never be alone, you'll never be alone
A man's got to do what he's got to do
As long as you
Shout, scream your hearts out
Don't let nobody take you down
Where you ain't belong
Shout, scream your hearts out
Don't let nobody take you down
Where you ain't belong
[Solo (Gabriel)]
Why don't you fight for once in your life
Don't want to live your life through someone else's eyes
You'll never be alone, you'll never be alone
A man's got to do what he's got to do
As long as you
Shout, scream your hearts out
Don't let nobody take you down
Where you ain't belong
Shout, scream your hearts out
Don't let nobody take you down
Where you ain't belong
[Solo 2 (Gabriel)]
Now that I'm here, I'm going to face my fears
Tired of hiding and I'm tired of running
All that was part of me the fear that was in me
I'm strong enough to finally break
[Solo 3 (Gabriel)]
Shout, scream your hearts out
Don't let nobody take you down
Where you ain't belong
Shout, scream your hearts out
Don't let nobody take you down
Where you ain't belong
Shout! It's your time to shout
So shout! It's your time shout!
Is it really something out there
Waiting for all of us
Is it really someone watching
To see is making through this loss
Our every move, our every word
It all seems a little too unreal
Don't wanna hear it'll be alright
Yeah I know we'll be just fine
Just open your eyes
We both know (that where we stand)
We're not alone, alone
And I can see so much clearer now
It just took me a while
To understand that there's nothing wrong with
Believe in unbelievable
Just open your eyes
We both know (that where we stand)
We're not alone, alone
We both know (there's so much more)
We're not alone, alone
And in my darkest days
I've never felt alone
To people I don't need them
We're never be alone
(and in my darkest days
I've never been alone
To people I don't need them
We're never be alone, alone)
Is it really something out there
Waiting for all of us
Is it really someone watching
To see is making through this loss
We both know (that where we stand)
We're not alone, alone
We both know (there's so much more)
We're not alone, alone
We both know (right where we stand)
We're not alone, alone
We both know (there's so much more)
We're not alone, alone
I wanna wake up and feel like I'm dreaming, ehhh
Hit my feet so the crowd is screaming, ehhh
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna,
Hear myself singing on the radio,
this is how my song would go,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh,
Swim in the money,
With them acting like they love me,
Get so laid, so laid,
Yeaaaah
I wanna party until I'm barely breathing, ehhh
A normal life ain't a life worth living, ehhh
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna,
Hear myself singing on the radio,
this is how my song would go,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh,
Swim in the money,
With them acting like they love me,
Get so laid, so laid,
Yeaaaah

I make ya love me.
I wanna hear myself going through every single voice,
I wanna hear myself...
Singing on the radio,
This is how my song would go,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh,oh oh,
Swim in the money,
With them acting like they love me,
Get so laid, so laid,
Hear myself singing on the radio,

BITCH!
Try to forget what I did
Guilt beginning to settle in
Let's not pretend that it's alright
I could not stay to watch us fall apart
I left you behind with nothing, no one
I left myself with these wounds, this pain (and now)
You are nothing but ashes, left of all I once knew
You are no more than a memory
Burning with the truth
Save us both from the heartache
Was it so hard to walk away?
You are innocence at it's best
I do not deserve what you offer
I left you behind with nothing, no one
I left myself with these wounds, this pain (and now)
You are nothing but ashes, left of all I once knew
You are no more than a memory
Burning with the truth
Nothing but ashes (x2)
(Oh oh oh, oh oh oh) (x4)
Nothing but ashes
(Solo)
I left you behind with nothing, no one
I left myself with these wounds, this pain (and now, now, now)
You are nothing but ashes, left of all I once knew
You are no more than a memory
Burning with the truth (x2)
Nothing but ashes (x2)
Tell me what its like from behind those bars
Do you dream about her at all?
Does she haunt your mind when the lights go out
And there's nothing left to break the fall?
Guilt has had its way with you
Had no choice but to face the truth
You wake up suffering (suffering)
Asking what might have been (might have been)
Do your time, bite the bullet (suffering)
Do your time, bite the bullet (suffering)
You didn't even wanna go out that night
But your friends convinced you otherwise
You knew she was gonna try to pick a fight
Too many drinks so you rolled the dice
Kept your 45 loaded
All you needed was a motive, she paid for it
Do your time, bite the bullet
Kept your 45 loaded
All you needed was a motive, she paid for it
You wake up suffering (suffering)
Asking what might have been (might have been)
Do your time, bite the bullet (suffering)
Do your time, bite the bullet (suffering)
You wake up suffering (suffering) (suffering)
Asking what might have been (might have been) (might have been)
Do your time, bite the bullet (bite the bullet) (suffering)
Do your time, bite the bullet (bite the bullet) (suffering)
Suffering
I wanna wake up and feel like I'm dreaming, ehhh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh,
Swim in the money,
With them acting like they love me,
Get so laid, so laid,
Yeaaaah
I make ya love me.
I make ya love me.
I wanna hear myself going through every single voice,
I wanna hear myself...
Singing on the radio,
This is how my song would go,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh,oh oh,
Swim in the money,
With them acting like they love me,
Get so laid, so laid,
Hear myself singing on the radio,
this is how my song would go,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, oh, oh,
Swim in the money,
With them acting like they love me,
Get so laid, so laid,
Yeaaaah
I make ya love me!
You have no heart, no mind of your own
You roam the streets so proud
I wonder what goes on in your head
Wonder if you've ever thought about
The things that matter most
Not just bout who you know
Or about who you think you are
You should just end this now
Before you get taken out
I'll let you be my shadow
I'll let you go the distance
So the world can see your a fuckin joke
Should've never been so damn vain
You'll never make it with a fake dream
So run your mouth with a death wish
Walking dead man
Should've never said a damn word
Drove yourself into the gutter
So run your mouth a death wish
Walking dead man
The stage was just a show
Get the fuck back down to earth now
I'm beginning to think you really believed
You were something worthy of fame
The only thing you've got is a crew
Of friends that pity you
I've got no pity for a fuckin coward
I'll let you be my shadow
I'll let you go the distance
So the world can see your a fuckin joke
Should've never been so damn vain
You'll never make it with a fake dream
So run your mouth with a death wish
Walking dead man
Should've never said a damn word
Drove yourself into the gutter
So run your mouth a death wish
Walking dead man
You are nothing. you have no one
You have no heart, no mind of your own.
You have no mind of your own
I'll let you be my shadow
I'll let you go the distance
Let you travel the world
So you can see what your missing
I'll let you be my shadow
Should've never been so damn vain
You'll never make it with a fake dream
So run your mouth with a death wish
Walking dead man
Should've never said a damn word
Drove yourself into the gutter
So run your mouth a death wish
Have you ever felt this way before
Felt this way
Pushed to be someone you don't know
I don't know!
I've never felt this way before
Felt this way
Pushed to be someone I don't know!
People telling lies all the time
Another part of this pointless game
I don't want to be part of your lie
Give me a chance and you'll know
What I want to be
Give me a chance to figure it out
Who I am
I've told you what I have to say
I've told you
You never listened
And you pushed me away
Give me a chance and you'll know
What I want to be
Give me a chance to figure it out
Who I am
Give me a chance and you'll know
What I want to be
Give me a chance to figure it out
Who I am
[Solo (Gabriel)]
Now! Just give me my life back
So! I'm taking it back now
No! You never will take me in vain!
I've told you what I have to say
I've told you
You never listened
And you pushed me away
Try to forget what I did
Guilt beginning to settle in
Let's not pretend that it's alright
I could not stay to watch us fall apart
I left you behind with nothing, no one
I left myself with these wounds, this pain (and now)
You are nothing but ashes, left of all I once knew
You are no more than a memory
Burning with the truth
Save us both from the heartache
Was it so hard to walk away?
You are innocence at it's best
I do not deserve what you offer
I left you behind with nothing, no one
I left myself with these wounds, this pain (and now)
You are nothing but ashes, left of all I once knew
You are no more than a memory
Burning with the truth
Nothing but ashes (x2)
(Oh oh oh, oh oh oh) (x4)
Nothing but ashes
(Solo)
I left you behind with nothing, no one
I left myself with these wounds, this pain (and now, now, now)
You are nothing but ashes, left of all I once knew
You are no more than a memory
Burning with the truth (x2)
There is nothing left
For me to see
The thought of end
Is killing me
I guess it's time
For my demise
There's no more time
I'm left aside
There's no more pain
There's no more tears
There's no more feeling
No more fear
The darkness creeps upon my skin
These wounds won't heal
This is my sin!
This is the black abyss
My life's apocalypse
Eternal suffering
No future for me to see
This is the black abyss
Executor of my soul
This darkness fills my eyes
And I'm now, left behind!
As my life rots away
I long the day of my decay
I'll soon be there, in death's grasp
It won't let go, now I'm dead!
This paranoia, I can't last
These days are now my last
The sense of evil is closing in
It is a phobia that kills within!
This is the black abyss
My life's apocalypse
Eternal suffering
No future for me to see
This is the black abyss
Executor of my soul
This darkness fills my eyes
Let's give them more hope
They deserve more
They deserve more
Let's give them more hope
We'll give them more
At troubled times like these
I know it's hard to stay strong
But we must, to see this through
With a fragile heart like yours
The eyes of the world will know for sure
We'll make it, we'll make it
Oh we have what it takes
To not tell them, what they wanna hear
To let go, the dreams disappear
Break them down just to build them up
Let's give hope
And not tell them, what they wanna hear
To let go, the dreams disappear
Break them down just to build them up
Let's give hope
If anybody ever gets in the way, or blocks a path we've
been given
We'll take it, we'll break it
Oh we have what it takes
To not tell them, what they wanna hear
To let go, the dreams disappear
Break them down just to build them up
Let's give hope
And not tell them, what they wanna hear
To let go, the dreams disappear
Break them down just to build them up
Let's give hope
The only way to make it
Is believing in yourself
The only way to pull through
Is detaching the weight of the world off your back
The only way to make it
Is believing in yourself
The only way to pull through
Is detaching the weight of the world off your back
Let's give them more hope
They deserve more
They deserve more
Let's give them hope
We'll give them more
I know it's hard to stay strong
But we must to see this through
To not tell them, what they wanna hear
To let go, the dreams disappear
Break them down just to build them up
Let's give hope
And not tell them, what they wanna hear
To let go, the dreams disappear
Break them down just to build them up
Your words are coat hanger thin
Why are you speaking at all?
Why are you torturing me?
No, I don't want this at all.
I see the burn in your cheeks
as you change what was truth
You offer pieces of nothing
as irrefutable proof.
And if the sky does fall down
Like you tell me it should
I doubt I'll even notice
I doubt I even could
I'm too busy just laughing
at the voice in my head
that keeps on telling me secrets
about what you once said.
You've never looked more beautiful
I've never felt so alone
And as this time passes by
I find I'm listening more
To this language you're using
But your grammar is poor
I'd swear I heard you say
that you loved me way back when
Perhaps a previous life-time
And this absolves you of sin
And if I had the strength to argue
Then perhaps I'd beg to differ
But instead I'll nod my head
As my muscles get much stiffer
My thoughts are turning away
from this ranting that you rave
I find I think of just one phrase
A single thought my mind will save
You've never looked more beautiful
I've never felt so alone
And if you think you know why I'm here
all alone
You are so wrong
You haven't got a clue what I'm trying
As I watch the fiends they slaughter
I listen to their voices in awe
It's my destiny, death is calling me
I will burn down what is left
They will suffer when I stand
I will summon lives, I will end all life
For those who desire to tyrannize
For those who slay to prevail to live
Ride along my side and we will
For those who live in peace so lifelessly
For those who run and hide from their enemies
I warn you now, you will be called upon
When I am strong enough
When I destroy what left
This is what I await
The enterprise of your demise
The time has come I am ready
I will rule this empire
I shall bring you down, you will fall to misery
As I destroy humanity I sense the glory I once desired
I am blissful within, now its time for more
For those who desire to tyrannize
For those who slay to prevail to live
Ride along my side and we will
For those who live in peace so lifelessly
For those who run and hide from their enemies
I warn you now, you will be called upon
When I am strong enough
When I destroy what's left
This is what I await
The enterprise of your demise
I'm getting closer to the throne
I'm killing my way through this Hell
I thirst for victory [2x]
[Gabriel solo]
I'm getting closer to the throne
I'm killing my way through this Hell
This is the day we open your eyes
This world tries to keep us in chains
Telling us what’s right and what’s wrong
Well ain’t nobody gonna teach you, yeah
I’m on a mission to respond
I’m gonna tear this system apart
Design a new path for a soul
Where we can follow our hearts
No one should hold us down (No one should hold us down)
Let every single breath help to set us free, to shut
down the system, start over
And even if the world seems to disagree just shut down
the system, start over
Let every step that we take be an experiment in faith
Because the greatest risk in life is to take no risk at
No one should hold us down (No one should hold us down)
Let every single breath help to set us free, to shut
down the system, start over
And even if the world seems to disagree just shut down
the system, start over
Over, Over, Over, Over
Don’t let society tell you that your goals ain’t right
That you’re
Cause we all got something to give
Everybody’s different
Give em hell, Give em hell, Give em hell
No one should hold us down (No one should hold us down)
Let every single breath help to set us free, start over
Let every single breath help to set us free, to shut
down the system, start over
And even if the world seems to disagree just shut down
the system, start over
Let every single breath help to set us free, just shut
Strained off from the straight and narrow
Latched onto a laughing hollow
Things aren't as perfect as they seem
Trapped inside of a boy's head while
Forced onto a path that crumbles
I've lost the better parts of me
Have you ever felt so lost
Like familiar roads are far away
Have you ever felt so broken, so broken
Yeah, a lot is happening
With a little pain, make it out
Yeah, this inner part of me, stronger
Make our way towards a paradise
So broken
So broken
Don't understand why I'm still here standing
I've come to think I'm the wild boar hanging
Don't care if I'm left here all alone
Forcing me to become the hunter
Dreams break they're lost in the gutter
I'll count all the pieces in my dole
Have you ever felt so lost
Like familiar faces are estranged
Have you ever felt so broken, so broken
Yeah, a lot is happening
With a little pain, make it out
Yeah, this inner part of me, stronger
Make our way towards a paradise
So broken
So broken
Trapped in this corner with a dream
Hell sets in, make reality
It's not over, not over
Seems so simple, I don't want it changed
Stay strong til the flames burn higher
Bet you're ready to toss your reminder
I'll never forget where I come from
Feels like we live in a nightmare
Don't want to wake, just shake off the fear
I'll never look back on what I've done
Have you ever felt so lost
Like familiar roads are far away
Have you ever felt so broken, so broken
Yeah, a lot is happening
With a little pain, make it out
Yeah, this inner part of me, stronger
Make our way towards a paradise
Have you ever felt so lost
Like familiar faces are estranged
Take my life, cuz it's already over
One year closer to the end of it all
One year closer to the end of it all
Every day I grow weaker
Wrapped up in the arms of fear
All this pain taking it's toll
Not even gravity can keep me here
Take my life, cuz it's already over (Just bury me, just bury me)
Take my life, cuz it's already over (Just bury me, just bury me put the six feet under)
One year closer to the end of it all
One year closer to the end of it all
(Solo)
Every second feels longer
Every minute kills me more
Every hour screams death
Every day I die slowly
Take my life, cuz it's already over (In my mind in my mind)
Take my life, cuz it's already over (My mind is running thoughts of the dead)
Take my life, cuz it's already over (Just bury me, just bury me)
Take my life, cuz it's already over (Just bury me put the six feet under)
(Solo)
*one year closer to the... * (x2)
*one year closer to the end*
*the end of it all*
One foot in the grave
Torture me this way
There is no escape
One year closer, one year closer
Take my life, cuz it's already over (In my mind in my mind)
Take my life, cuz it's already over (My mind is running thoughts of the dead)
Take my life, cuz it's already over (Just bury me, just bury me)
Take my life, cuz it's already over (Just bury me from the six feet under?)
One year closer to the end of it all
I’m addicted so infected
You’ve reeled me in now please never release me
I only feel alive when I’m with you
And now I never get enough
Your love is always on my mind
Your love is just another drug
Oh oh
And I can’t get enough, yeah
I’m dependent, so damn helpless
I never thought that I would dig my own grave
I only feel alive inside of you
And now I never get enough
Your love is always on my mind
Your love is just another drug
oh oh
And now I never get enough
Your love is always on my mind
If there was one thing I could change
I’d be the way I felt for you
If there was one thing I could change
I’d be the way I felt for you
I only feel alive when I’m with you
Now I never get enough
Your love is always on my mind
Your love is just another drug
And now I never get enough
Your love is always on my mind
I don’t know how I’ll make it through each day
Your love is just another drug
Not everybody has a place to call their home,
(their home)
They walk this earth with their shoulders down and faded hope,
(fading hope)
Let's bring their faith back,
let's make them believe yea what we believe,
(believe)
We can change this,
we can make things alright,
just get lost on the sound,
Heeeey!
Not every kid has got a bed to call their own,
(their own)
I lay there and think about this and wonder if,
(wonder if)
We can bring their faith back,
can we make them believe,
yea what we believe,
(believe)
We can change this,

just get lost in the sound,
Yeeeea!
(yea we can change this with a little more time we'll make everything alright)
So put your money where your mouth is
Cause we all know, we all know
Just what there is about you or your friends
You're all just one big mistake
You sit so high above us all, don't you man?
But we all know, we all know
You're no better than us
We're all in this together, oh
So why can't you see?
Or just realize?
Why can't you become part of it?
Why can't you just see the way we see?
Why can't you become part of it?
Why can't you just see the way we see?
You look like you just lost everything
Do you need me to hold your hand?
Stretching your end too much
Was losing the world evenly
So why can't you see?
Or just realize?
Why can't you become part of it?
Why can't you just see the way we see?
Why can't you become part of it?
Why can't you just see the way we see?
We're all sinking in this water
We're all sinking in these waters
We're all sinking in this water (no giving up)
We're all sinking in these waters (no giving up)
We're all sinking in this water
(You're forcing our lungs underneath the ocean)
We're all sinking in these waters
(You're forcing our lungs underneath the ocean)
So why can't you see?
Or just realize?
Why can't you become part of it?
Why can't you just see the way we see?
Why can't you become part of it?
Why can't you just see the way we see?
Why can't you become part of it?
Why can't you just see the way we see?
Why can't you become part of it?
Give me your poison
Give me your power to kill
I am the shadow
I will surrender my will
I kept the shadow
I kept the pain
I'll feast upon your venom
You are the black widow
Black Widow
I'm your shadow
Black Widow
I'm your slave
I drink your poison
I took your power to kill
I drink your venom
Now I posses your will
Black Widow
I'm your shadow
Black Widow
I'm your slave
I'm your slave
Yea!
I've fulfilled my destiny
Your venom flows throughout my veins
I'll soon begin my quest for tyranny
I have become you; this evil life insane
Black Widow
I'm your shadow
Black Widow
