Acacia Strain, The - Servant In The Place Of Truth Lyrics






Grab life by the throat and tear out its eyes.
Victims of the myth that everyone dies.
Buried alive from the inside out.
The maggots will crawl from your pretty mouth.

You dig the holes, I'll find the bodies.
You dig the holes, I'll find the bodies.

Silent lies. Quiet eyes.
No surprise. Dead will rise.

You dig the holes, I'll find the bodies.
You dig the holes, I'll find the bodies.

I feel like I am losing my breath.
The weight of the world is crushing me to death.
Cursed are the living we envy the dead.
There never will be a light up ahead.

When the sun sees its final set,
And we all choke our final breath.
Underneath all the coughing and hacking;
You will hear me, I will die laughing.

Acacia Strain, The Servant In The Place Of Truth Comments
  1. J.... F....

    You know why us Americans make the baddest heaviest scary music not only are we badass musicians but we have guns and ammo so like are bands are way scarier compared to any other country’s heavy music. We got the fire 🔥 power as well. 👹

  2. J.... T....

    Anybody think the breakdown at the end of this song should have been longer

  3. s.... 5....

    Man i still love this song

  4. I.... A....

    Man I WISH i could BUY this song on Google Play music.......... best one out of all of "Death is the only Mortal"

  5. a.... ....

    2:21 and on is just beautiful

  6. T.... J....

    Death Is The Only Mortal album is majorly overlooked. i suggest anyone and everyone go back and give that one a listen with good speakers, not just earbuds or bad laptop speakers etc. the guitar sound may not be ultra polished or technically brilliant but theres something about that record that feels physically unsettling and its a very nice time.

  7. M.... M....

    Wish that they played this live

  8. M.... ....

    One of the best breakdowns of all time.

  9. C.... ....

    Last good song they put out, DL was a fucking powerhouse.

    A.... ....

    they're boring as fuck. missing that punch found in DITOM. not sure why people prefer the new sound to be honest

    A.... ....

    Brain Death and Mouth of the River are amazing.

    Mouth of the river is the best song on there. Its an underrated song honestly

  30. M.... ....

    Why wasn't this song on Death Is The Only Mortal?

    M.... ....

    Should have been. I can see it playing right before Victim of the Cave. Seriously. Go listen to that song right after this.

    M.... ....

    +Erron Black I think it sounds amazing right after House of Abandon

    M.... ....

    I can see that too. Either way. It should have been embedded towards this release.

  31. u.... ....

    This song talks about some real shit. Google "Truth Contest" and read "The Present."

    u.... ....

    @understandLife98 Holy shit that was some real gnarly insight

    u.... ....

    +understandLife98 This literally changed my life

    u.... ....

    Regurgitated bullshit is what you're sharing here. Everyone knows all, only deciphers few.

  32. R.... S....

    emmure sucks

    R.... S....

    @Ray Squillante unrelated

  33. D.... ....

  37. I.... M....

    The acacia strain kicks ass.

  38. T.... ....

    When the sun sees its final set
    And we all choke our final breath
    Underneath all the coughing and hacking
    You will hear me, I will die...laughing.

    T.... ....

    best part of the song

    T.... ....

    Truth... scares you...¿¿¿

    T.... ....

    "Spin kicks child in the face" *BLEGH*

  39. V.... ....

    simple, but one of the best things i've ever listened to...2;21 is like the fucking apocalypse

  40. u.... ....

    Is this song working for anyone?

    u.... ....

    no i punched my screen at that drop.

  41. M.... ....

    proof that simple can be crazy.  that end part is a big boy.   

    M.... ....

    MisterAnthropist Yes! That riff is mind-bendingly catchy, and extremely brutal. Makes you want to crush fucking souls.

    M.... ....

    Relatable

    M.... ....

    For sure bro

    M.... ....

    I just started really appreciating the strain when I saw them live 2 days ago , Vincent's vocals are so much better live .

  42. S.... ....

    A two minute long breakdown? Heavy as fuck!

  43. M.... ....

    Their drummer looks like he's turned 15 finally.

  44. Z.... B....

    This is a bonus track, it's not actually on Death is the only mortal

  45. J.... K....

    This comment is too bitchy.

  46. A.... C....

    this recording is too bassey

  47. D.... D....

    Thats fucked up i have a pretty mouth. haha

  48. N.... ....

    That intro....... just wow amazing

  49. N.... ....

    holy fuck I love this.

  50. J.... D....

    God I love this song

  51. J.... ....

    Even though they've been around longer haha

  52. J.... ....

    Acacia Strain is the Super Saiyan 4 version of old Emmure

  53. A.... K....

    Yeah true. I just realized that Sleeping With Sirens and The Acacia Strain are both on Rise!

  54. K.... ....

    Only for a few, the rest are related by label or by similar tags.

  55. G.... I....

    same label

  56. A.... K....

    You do realize that Youtube sees what you search and puts stuff similar to that on the suggested videos.. Lol.

  57. R.... G....

    if the acacia strain was food it'd be a big bucket of fried chicken

    simple, and crude but damn it tastes good

  58. D.... D....

    i named my daughter after this band.

    D.... D....

    Denise McGee Acacia?

  59. d.... ....

    "Underneath all the coughing and hacking; You will hear me, I will die LAUGHING" *eruption of pure hellish beatdown too brutal for words as it explodes from the speakers and burns the very soul with its tenebrous and metallic ferocity*

  60. j.... ....

    Begone with you, troll.

  61. C.... D....

    Fuck Vincent is so gnarly
    BLEGHHH can never get enough of it and then another ridiculous and heavy as fuck bass drop and breakdown

  62. J.... C....

    I feel like Death is the only mortal just came out...

  63. J.... M....

    God damn so heavy

  64. R.... M....

    It's okay to be angry sometimes. It's healthy.

  65. R.... M....

    Cry more

  66. R.... M....

    Didn't expect the comments for an Acacia Strain song to remind me of teenage girls bickering in the bathroom. Let's keep all comments relevant to the relating video, please.

  67. a.... s....

    who argues about music... pretty sad.. if anything find eachother and fight then keep it moving lol.. since u cant then somebody jus be the bigger person and let it go lol... pointless shit ^_^

  68. J.... W....

    Everything you post is just so wrong. I started this i guess by stating my own opinion but you keep making broad generalizations and ignorantly deciding on your own who listens to what, like you have any clue what anyone else listens to. You are most certainly not a sociology major or any one in any position to make broad assumptions about who listens to what.

  69. F.... ....

    The age of the band members does not matter when it comes to the fanbase. The "Deathcore" fanbase is compised of mostly teenagers and early 20 year olds. This is the only deathcore band I can say that I actually like. Keep hating rap and being an intellectual for liking metal or whatever this was started by.

  70. S.... J....

    I agree with this.

  71. J.... W....

    Not many 33 year olds listen to this? All the guys in this band are in their 30's bud. Everything you post is just making you look more the fool so you should stop.... or not either way.

  72. J.... W....

    Wow bud your really trying hard to pin me down arent you? First im a 13 year old who doesnt know shit, now im some creepy 'old' guy. This is more amusing to me than annoying. You must be a very angry person to spend so much time and energy harassing people on the internet? I hope your life turns around and you find some kind of happiness, because life is too short to be as hateful as you seem to be. Happy hunting little fella.

  73. F.... ....

    You probably didn't grow up in the 80's. It might not be true be here are some ideas why. 1. If you grew up in the 80's you would have had to been born in a year where you could remember the 80's so that could be 1980 and earlier, that means you would be 33+ years old arguing on the internet. 2. You listed bands that you liked and they were all very new, deathcore bands. Not many 33+ year olds listen to that. But hey, you could be that older guy who goes to concerts with teenagers.

  74. F.... ....

    If the music doesn't "speak to you" that doesn't mean that it is shit. I don't like any of the bands you listed but I wouldn't dismiss them without listening to them and trying to like them.

  75. J.... W....

    I grew up in the 80's myself and so my online identity does not mean anything to me really. The fact that your approaching me the way you have proves you really are the child here so...... snowflake, i realize that children today cant be reasoned with so i have made my final arguments. I eagerly await the condescending and berating comments i am sure you have written out in advance.

  76. J.... W....

    I find it funny how you have to dismiss me as a child in order to create a foundation to back up your principles. You accuse me of failing to create a valid argument for my dismissing of a genre entirely but i must say it is you who fails to understand metal the way i do. I agree with one thing you said that metal is what ever you want it to be, this is true. I was stating what metal was to me and why i appreciate it more than rap.

  77. J.... W....

    What do you know about my musical knowledge? I really dont care for rap or hip hop. That is it. I am sorry that you feel offended that i dismiss the genre entirely but it just does not speak to me. I do not even listen to Acacia Strain, i personally prefer bands like HAARP Machine, Within the Ruins, Veil of Maya and The Faceless. BUT.... as a guitar player myself i can appreciate what Acacia Strain do musically because technicality is expressed through composition AND time signature.

  78. F.... ....

    Ah, yes. The old "I'm not mad, you're mad" trick.

  79. F.... ....

    What do you know about my musical knowledge? You're the one who dismissed an entire genre of music based on the assumption that it only falls into a set of sterotypes. One can easily bring up the metal genre's stereotypes such as the lyrics being about nihilism, death, morbid subject matter, and satan. But not all metal falls in to those stereotypes. Again, liking metal does not make you a special little snowflake.

  80. B.... J....

    Who gives a fuck if he listens to BMTH of Chelsea Grin...? They're both good, or at least used to be. Even if the guitars aren't technical the drums get to be in this song.

  81. J.... W....

    Your musical knowledge is just terrible. If you like rap and hip hop then pat yourself on the back and feel accepted by the rest of the sheep that listen to that garbage. Again you cant win here, you bring nothing to the table. Faggy scene kids indeed.

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

    Wow. Now your mad. You mad bro? Im sorry if i hit a touchy subject about you living with your mom. You cant win here. You bring nothing to the table. And correcting grammar and spelling online is the first sign of being mad bro... dont be mad bro.

  83. F.... ....

    You're* So basicly you are 13. (Or just a really uneducated idiot who gets mad over the internet).

  84. J.... W....

    Whats there to refute? Arguing with you over this isnt going to go anywhere lol. I just figured you wanted an argument so i tried to give you one. Theres really nothing you could say that would really bother me in any way so dont flatter yourself. Im done responding to you because a troll is a troll is a troll.

    PS
    13 year olds do it for you or what? Your comical. And i bet your early to mid 20's and still living with your parents. Am i right? LOL!.

  85. F.... ....

    You mad? You're mad. You're so mad you can't even refute a point. You're so mad you've resorted to name calling. You're mad because I called you stupid on the internet. That confirms you for being 13, or just having really, really fragile girly emotions.

  86. J.... W....

    Your just another piece of shit who hides behind a web handle talkin shit. Nothing you ever do, say or write will ever be remembered. You are insignificant and sad. Enjoy living a life of mediocrity that never amounts to anything. Good day sir.

  87. F.... ....

    Sorry kiddo but you're not some deep intelectual for liking metal, a lot of metal fans are fucking retarded (like you). You obviously don't listen to rap so how can you judge the genre. Rap and Hip Hop are both amazing genres which only a fool would disregard. Again look at madvillian and death grips.

  88. F.... ....

    Aww baby's first progressive band, how cute. Granted I like this band but they are not technical at all. Necrophaigist is where you would look for technical metal. But you wouldn't know about them because you probably do listen to BMTH or Chealsea grin and think they can actually play their instruments.

  89. J.... W....

    And people dont think metal fans are idiots, just keyboard slapping drop outs like you who waste their time trolling people on youtube instead of educating themselves properly. Turn the sound off on 95% of rap music videos and its all the same, rubbing their fingers together... flashing wads of cash... big bootie shaking in the background.... low ride cars from the 80s and 90s with hydraulics.

  90. J.... W....

    The fact you feel the need to use the word faggy to pathetically try and make your point shows how out of touch you are. If you cant hear the technicality in what these guys do then you are listening with a retarded ear which explains why you comment reads like it was written by a drooling mongoloid. You have no point, no class and terrible music insight.

  91. F.... ....

    This is the reason people think metal fans are idiots. There is a ton of good rap out there. Look at death grips or madvillian. Metal is not about anything you listed, it could be whatever you want it to be really(within the genre). Take this song for example the guitar is nowhere near technical and the vocals are just standard. Metal has already sold out to pop music. Do you not see faggy scene kids running around everywhere listening to shit like BMTH or BVB?

  92. J.... F....

    Who else would lose their mind at 2:20 if you saw this live? I would absolutely lose my fucking shit.

  93. f.... ....

    agreed man. they've defined this sludgy fucking chug genre along with emmure. but i agree about the lyrics. i love emmure but their lyrics are the same shit about getting dumped over and over.
