Acacia Strain, The - Above Lyrics






We circle as you walk the line.
No need to beg.
This isn't the time, did you scream, did you whine, did you cry?
Did you pray as they pulled out your fucking eyes?
We finish what you're afraid to.
We are above you.
Tell me what's on your mind.
The madness. The lying.
We eat what we find.
The dead. The dying.
You have been warned.
We will swarm.
There is nothing on earth like the eye of the storm.
Beware the swarm.
As we feast upon the rot.
Alone in the distance; we rest on the rocks.
Please die. We cannot eat if you're still alive.
Blood in the sand.
We are forgotten.
The cycle continues until there is nothing.
Blood in the sand.
We are above you.
This is just proof that nobody loved you.
Apologies are more than saying sorry.
Nothing will grow around what's left of your body.
There is a hole in the clouds.
Nose attuned to the scent of burning flesh.
You will never see doomsday.
You will never see the end.

Acacia Strain, The Above Comments
  1. B.... I....

    Goddamn I love this band!! Another one hit out of the park.

  2. N.... S....

    i was justt about to say this is too fast then then it dropped. ok they still got it!

  3. T.... ....

    Jesus fuck, that riff.

  4. W.... S....

    See you in Winnipeg boys July 30. Been too long since 2015 at Park theatre.

  5. A.... S....

    THERE IS NOTHING THAT EPITOMIZES DOOM AND GLOOM LIKE THE END OF THIS BEAUTIFUL SONG

  6. A.... H....

    Boring and gay. Vocals are the weakest I've ever heard and the lyrics are from an edgy 13 year old girl who just got finger fucked for the first time. Such a joke of a band.

  7. E.... G....

    Still one of my all time favorite breakdowns. Wasnt even really a fan of "the breakdown" until this. This song took it to a whole new level.

    THERE IS A HOLE IN THE...

    CCCCLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOUUUUUUUDDDDDDDDDSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!

  8. J.... v....

    if your in high school still,your death core opinions mean nothing,you got into the music when scene shit started getting big

  9. B.... R....

    Fuck i love this Band

  10. K.... S....

    fuck, I forgot about this EP. some of their best work.

  11. D.... ....

    Temaso niño

  12. a.... ....

    is this about a vulture?

  13. J.... P....

    That breakdown... I will forever need new underwear

  14. o.... ....

    How could i have forgotten this song existed? it's so good i remember hearing it for the first time and i creamed my pants...

  15. S.... P....

    YOU WILL NEVER SEE DOOMSDAY

  16. m.... ....

    This is definitely in their top 10 best songs. The ending is just too good. So eerie and downright evil. Plus the tone is just fucking incredible.

    m.... ....

    me and my buddy play that breakdown when we jam..

  17. b.... ....

    Awesome song!!!!

  18. C.... ....

    There is a hole in the CLOOUUUUUUUDS. I fucking cum buckets every god damn time. unf. My nipples are hard af.

    C.... ....

    I know exactly what you mean. From that part in really. Longest orgasm ever.

    C.... ....

    +Brad Miller loads for days.

  19. T.... C....

    "Did you scream did you whine did you cry, did you pray while they pulled out your fucking eyes?"
    My favorite lyrics.

  20. C.... ....

    I really wish they would have kept this guitar tone for the new album. DON'T get me wrong, new album goes hard af but the tone is just SO DAMN DRY and barely able to be called "saturated." INB4 people calling me a faggot or whatever. I just feel like it could have been just THAT much heavier with this massive sounding guitar tone.

    C.... ....

    I agree 100%. They removed the last bit of middle end from the guitars on the new album.

    C.... ....

    I actually think the exact opposite. It became almost too "middy" almost "boxy." Like, too much 500k. The tone was super dry which is never a bad thing, especially with that low of a tuning. But I wished they would have just maybe turned the gain knob up just a smidge just to color the sound a bit more.

    C.... ....

    +Cameron Walega They used a Orange Thunderverb with the gain turned all the way up. I think it's well enough.

    C.... ....

    +Sebastian Ryderberg Opinions

    C.... ....

    I agree this is much more massive. Though I think the tone for Coma Witch fits its theme. Its so diluted and muddy. Its like swimming in a bog.

  21. C.... ....

    reply to this comment with some songs with "Bleghs" please, I can't get enough of them

    C.... ....

    most of sworn in's songs

    C.... ....

    +Chase MIller Blegh

    C.... ....

    +Chase Miller Employed To Serve - Threads. Solid blegh near the end

    C.... ....

    Scissorhands by Stray From The Path.

    C.... ....

    +Chase MIller * inserts sworn in's discography here."

  22. t.... ....

    Are you seeking truth? Google "Truth Contest" and read "The Present"

  23. B.... B....

    The only time, "There is a hole in the clouds" can sound badass.

  24. N.... D....

    That "Blegh" Vincent made was brutal

    N.... D....

    Hell yeah!

  25. W.... F....

    Check out my band "WILLOWBROOK" from South-West Florida if you like bands similar to Sworn In, Barrier, Kublai Khan and The Acacia Strain! Help us spread the word and make a name for ourselves! Don't forget to like us on Facebook too! :)

  26. P.... ....

    FUCKIN DEAD WALK PART 2 
    YESSS

  27. C.... W....

    I wake up to this shit!

  28. w.... ....

    I already have the 7" vinyl, heheh

  29. J.... M....

    When people say this band isn't "original" or that they are "generic", they are not considering the fact that they pioneered this style. Most of the bands that sound like this took the style from THIS BAND.

    J.... M....

    Also, who the fuck cares? People who complain about that kind of shit are generally the type of persons who are so pathetic and fucking lame, that they have to put anything and everyone else down to feel slightly better about themselves. Even if just for a moment.

    J.... M....

    @Gabriel Kenoyer Amen. If only the "original" bands were allowed to make music there would be a handful of bands across all genres. Nothing wrong with taking a known sound and adjusting into your own. Music is about expression, it's not a competition.

    J.... M....

    Hipsters, basically.

    How many hipsters does it take to change a light bulb? It's a very obscure number, you've probably never heard of it.

    J.... M....

    How bad does your ass hurt from pulling all that bullshit information out of it?

  30. M.... P....

    Yes go to their show if you got a city or venue their playing at around you

  31. S.... t....

    firstt no clean vocal band on rise.

  32. T.... G....

    There is a hole in the clouds.

  33. r.... ....

    I can't stop listening to this single/EP, so damn good \m/

  34. B.... L....

    That breakdown is fucking brutal.

  35. T.... ....

    I saw that The Acacia Strain and Emmure are putting their differences aside and are going to do a tour together, is this true? I would love to see both bands

    T.... ....

    yep they are touring! unfortunately they are not coming to my city : /

    T.... ....

    They probably won't come to my city either

    T.... ....

    @ThePWNisher13 where are you from

    T.... ....

    whats there differences?

    T.... ....

    @ThePWNisher13 I just saw they both two nights ago. It was amazing!

  36. w.... m....

    "I love music, music is my life! I love the lyrics!" Lyrics are not music. You will not see the end people, we musicians are WAYY above you.

  37. R.... ....

    Watched this band live. So insane

  38. C.... T....

    I want to like this because its instrumentally awesome. But lyrically it's right there with catchy rap songs. :/ not very deep.

    C.... T....

    Death metal lyrics aren't meant to be deep.

    C.... T....

    +Kyle Jarvis Depends on the band and what the sound they're going for is.

  39. V.... ....

    I know him in real life and his sister we go to school together c; 

    V.... ....

    @zombie9466 Hah im still a virgin... 

    V.... ....

    @kalyanna bessonette You sound more like a stalker/groupie broad.

    V.... ....

    @zombie9466 xD how ?

    V.... ....

    That's awesome. Congrats (:

    V.... ....

    @Derek Miltimore Okey

  40. i.... ....

    Dude, fuck all of you. Go see them live and then tell me you don't like them.

  41. A.... G....

    Just saw them last night at All Stars and I gotta say they killed it last night. Wished they where the main headlining band instead of I See Stars.

  42. N.... D....

    When Vincent said BLEH that was amazing 

  43. Z.... G....

    I'm actually pretty shocked that so many people hate this. There's always gonna be fucking pussies who don't like Metal but so much hate on this one, fuck.

  44. M.... J....

    I like below more then this. It's not the same Acacia though

  45. H.... S....

    Fake-ass death metal...
    These lyrics make no since and it sounds emo. Im outa here.

  46. K.... O....

  48. P.... X....

    They're talking about damn vultures lol

  49. E.... ....

    why are they signed in to rise lol

    E.... ....

    Cuz rise actually has good PR and good management and prosthetic was a good label but they just weren't willing to change with the times and kept signing bands that the kids that spend money liked. Old heads are tight wads. If any of you think that that stuff doesn't matter your way wrong

  50. I.... A....

    So anyone know when a full length album is coming out?

    I.... A....

    10.14 their new album comes out

  51. I.... ....

  52. m.... e....

    theres no one above me. theres no one above us.

  53. L.... T....

    The epitome of badass.

  56. b.... ....

  61. A.... A....

    This is garbage..

    A.... A....

    Good, you'd get stomped out like a goomba mushroom boy.

    A.... A....

    @Alex Alsina just ...just stop

    A.... A....

    @Alex Alsina Stfu before I call Super Mario in here.

    A.... A....

    sorry i didnt know u guys were fucking each other.

    A.... A....

    @Alex Alsina what's that supposed to mean?

  62. G.... ....

    Is this what people listen to? This is such generic crap!

    *Vomits in trash can because of how bad this band is*

    Want REAL music? Try Capture The Crown, my friends!

    G.... ....

    Lol I had to laugh At your idiotic comment. You must be unhappy with your life people who send out negativity are usually negative and unhappy. I used to go to bands pages and hate on them when I was that way. Now my life's amazing and I could cAre less to go bash a and or there fans. Plus most of there fans from the 3750 days that sill listen could more than likely stomp a mudhole in your ass lol

    G.... ....

    And capture the crown is litwrally one of the worst bands ever. But when mommy and dad's can pay I get you on yours and studio time it's easy to make it. The strain earned every bit of what they've got. They don't try to break the mold they make music that's fun to play and headbang to and they use a lot of irony. Meet them and you'll see hands down happiest funniest coolest dudes ever. Hell me and dl and Kevin stayed up at my house till 5 am watching the wayans brothers marathon blazing out I a coke can cuz we accidentally broke my glass piece trying to clean it

    G.... ....

    @GoldenShadowFlame Have you read the comments on a CTC youtube video? Half the planet thinks they sound like an Asking Alexandria rip off. Myself included. And AA sucks a big bag o dicks too. So yes, Capture the Crown is a ridiculously generic metalcore band from the UK just like Oceans Ate Alaska, CTC, AA etc. TAS has been around for over a decade, they helped set the standard for this genre, if they happen to sound similar to another band its not because they copied them, its because that band copied TAS. 

    G.... ....

    I hope you all fucking kill yourselves. TAS is the worst band to ever exist if AAL didn't take first place. Fuck, even Blood On The Dance Floor is more listenable than these dumb fucks.

    G.... ....

    @***** Get laid, you filthy virgin!

  63. M.... ....

    'cool font tho'

  64. J.... R....

    Better than anything off their last album.

  65. T.... Z....

    this shit is funny

    T.... Z....

    like your life.

    T.... Z....

    @Connor Robertson
    like your comment.

  66. R.... I....

    this is so impending doom. i like it. i also like how all bands move from inaudible, thrashing noise to depth filled sounds with meaning

    R.... I....

    Then apparently you've been listening to shit bands.

    R.... I....

    na. go back in acacia's history. go back in any bands history of music. whitechapel used to do make it, chelsea grin, as i lay dying. theres no way bands do not get better over time. i was talking about like over decades

    R.... I....

    @Rob I
    If you want to talk about 'going back' i can name a few bands in which became immensly popular but never had that 'inaudible, trashing' noise as you put it. Let's take example Underoath, i guarantee you if you ever listened to them when Dallas was still the lead, you'd never expect it was them. All i could hear is immaturity in the music because they hadn't been doing it for very long. It's not inaudible, it's the stylistic changes in the genre of rock. If you can't see that, then i don't think you've like rock long enough to understand EVERY type of music goes through that phase. What you're progressing to say is that you hated old, trash rock and like the new-aged type which i completely disagree with. Including the  fact that you listed old bands that were actually better than they were now 'lyrically' and saying it's 'inaudible'. I'm not gonna type a passive-aggressive tense, but you really need to look in on more bands.

    R.... I....

    Rob I you mean they got heavy as fuck. They were heavy already but once they started tuning down every album one step down the scales it’s been incredibly sludgy.
    I love how heavy they are now, nice to blast if you’re trying to create a hardcore scene etc.

  67. S.... C....

    I would get into the pit with anyone here and crush you all to this song like a bulldozer tearing down an abandoned crack house in the projects.

    S.... C....

    You do realize that "the projects" you refer too, officially known as public housing projects, tended to be large buildings housing hundreds or thousands of people right? As in government built monstrosities.

    You don't tear down a crack house "in the projects." A crack house may be in the ghetto, in the hood, in a low-income community, it may even be publicly financed. But "the projects" are larger, college dorm- and jail-like places that would probably take a bit more than a bulldozer to take down.

    Nice try though.

    S.... C....

    It's a big bulldozer

    S.... C....

    @Mikey McDowell pretty much the most worthless comment on youtube 

    S.... C....

    Sonny Crockett lol they’d shoot you...

    S.... C....

    Sonny Crockett “MAAAAN, WHATS THST NOISE OUTSI MAN! Oh shit! THEY COMING TO TRY TO TEAR DOWN OUR HOMES, HELL NAaa! Naaaaaaa! GRAB THE STRAPS

  68. w.... ....

    Does anyone know where I can get the full image of the Crow and Rat with the lyrics all around them? I think I want it as my next tattoo.

    w.... ....

    Hit me up, i can draw you it (i drew the raven and bat for above / below album cover)

    w.... ....

    Hell yeah. Dude if you can get a good picture of it that would be fucking awesome. 

  69. P.... G....

    How the fuck is Vincents BWAH so fucking good?

    P.... G....

    I guarantee the only reason he did it is because it's a trend in the scene right now and the fact that he does it better than anyone says a lot.

    P.... G....

    Since it's Vincent, it's probably a joke.

    P.... G....

    @Andrew Massacre
    That's what I meant. He'd be doing it ironically.

    P.... G....

    Nah man, I gotcha. I caught that.

    P.... G....

    Lmao "BWAH" ... I call it a "BLEGH" like hes trying to cough up a flem

  70. B.... S....

    Love these guys. OGs!

  71. 1.... ....

    one of my new favorite bands

  72. P.... ....

    Every single thing they do is pure gold to me.

  73. B.... D....

    They got away from chug. Good.

  74. r.... ....

    This band is garbage. There is no talent here. The lyrics have no meaning. A 12 year old can play these riffs. I know 4 year olds who can scream better than this. It's a shame that they are signed to rise.

  75. C.... ....

    Check our facebook.com/avariceatx they sound similar to the acacia strain

  76. G.... P....

    Vultures

  77. S.... ....

    extreme to the max!!!!!

  78. S.... ....

    2:38 "THERE IS A HOLE IN THE CLOUDS!"  Whatever is dying in this song just saw its final moments. This song melts my ears in into euphoric paste, then eats me for breakfast!

    S.... ....

    ^^^^
    This guy knows what hes talking about ^^^^^

  79. j.... l....

    I love all their albums. There is no doubt that they're my favorite band and have been for a long time. And personally, I love their wormwood/death is the only mortal sound more than anything. I still love continent, but after a while the overall sound of the album does get annoying, then I just throw in death is the only mortal or wormwood:) Wormwood has always been my scapegoat from all other albums.

  80. B.... B....

    sounds like the ghost inside lol

  81. C.... ....

    congrats, dodge. you've made me watch a full AD for the first time.

  82. J.... W....

    Everyone talking about the old the shit compared to the new. Sounds like acacia strain to me. Love it or hate it, they dont give 2 fucks what you think.

    J.... W....

    so because they dont care about what you think, don't discuss something you like?

    what?

  83. B.... ....

    Above>Below. Below is pretty boring in my opinion..

  84. M.... C....

    If you guys like this look up Arrogance by Traitors 

  85. N.... ....

    Acacia! !!
    If you like it heavy and low can't go past Australia's 8string monsters. ..
    ...IGNITE THE IBEX. ...

  86. Z.... ....

    I wonder if this is what zombies think

  87. L.... B....

    This band is pure fucking hate. There's not a song by TAS that isn't great. Forever in love <3

    L.... B....

    London Bell i paid to see them to get shit talked to me. Money well spent.

  88. J.... M....

    alone in the distance we rest on the rocks as we feast upon the rott!!! damn it the acacia strain you done it again.

  89. s.... ....

    lol acadia strain lyrics………..

  90. �.... �....

    If it doesnt come bursting out dont do it!

  91. A.... A....

    I like this song.. this is a good song.

  92. M.... ....

    WOW. To me, the height of The Acacia Strain was Continent. They really found their groove on that album and the production was on point. Wormwood felt like they were just really uninspired. Death Is The Only Mortal sounded like they were starting to become interested in what they were doing again, but it was sort of a hit or miss album. These new tracks sound fucking pissed. They have classic Acacia energy and anger behind them. Driving, brutal, fun. 

    M.... ....

    I fucking adore Wormwood !

    M.... ....

    vincents vocal theatrics are still better than ever

  93. T.... N....

    Sounds fucking awesome. I can tell Vinny is doing some different shit with his voice, hella beast.

  94. S.... ....

    Wow they went ritardando through the WHOLE SONG! That is such a heavy technique, but I wonder how they can beat The Chambered Nautilus in this album...

    S.... ....

    hey don't call them retards!

  95. K.... R....

    this song tho :D

  96. E.... T....

    FUCK YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS, the raw power they draw from hate is fucking supernatural

  97. 5.... ....

    after listening to this a lot, its grown on me, and i really like it, hahaha, still not a fan of the ending breakdown in this song though.
