Betraying The Martyrs - The Great Disillusion Lyrics






How could I have been so fucking blind?!

Look out, look out, look by your side,
Sometimes the devil wears a pretty disguise,
So reach out, cry out, open my eyes,
Show me my future before I kiss it goodbye

And you told me we could fly, so I hold on
And once again, once again I leave it all behind,
You told me we could swim, so I climbed so high
Up to a mountain for you, I closed my eyes, and I took the dive

How can I make up for all this lost time?!

The scent of home sweet home now bears the bitterest smell,
And the land I was meant to love feels like a short stay in hell,
Feels like a short stay in hell
It's time to let go

You told me we could fly, so I hold on
And once again, once again I leave it all behind,
You told me we could swim, so I climbed so high
Up to a mountain for you, I closed my eyes, and I took the dive

How can I make up for all this fucking lost time?
That I'll never ever get back. 25 to life,
I thank you for, thanks for wasting my time,
Time I'll never ever, ever ever get back!

How could I have been so fucking blind?!

You told me we could fly, so I hold on
And once again, once again I leave it all behind,
You told me we could swim, so I climbed so high
Up to a mountain for you, I closed my eyes, and I took the dive
And I took the dive
And I took the dive

You told me we could fly, so I hold on
And once again, once again I leave it all behind,
You told me we could swim, so I climbed so high
Up to a mountain for you, I closed my eyes
I've been so fucking blind

    this shit at summer slaughter was amazing

  42. �.... �....

    Why do I seem the extreme vocalist doesn't hit the rhythm and sounds like he tears his throat? This is the case I've heard the playthrough before the song.

  43. S.... ....

    i wish i was this good man

  44. M.... P....

    This song makes me feel better about the breakup between me and my fake and unfaithful ex. I can relate giving all you have to someone who's just wasting your time.

    It was so cool meeting these guys. These guys are so nice in person and give you all there attention when you talk to them.

  70. O.... T....

    DAYYYYYYYYYYYYYUMMMM!!!!!
    ALRIGHT, I see you BTM! I see you!!!!

  71. T.... M....

    Okay. Second impressions. I listened to it once and I thought it wasn't great, vocally. However, I do like to give songs second chances because perhaps there might have been something I missed. After looking up the lyrics to discern what the overall message is, I've come to the conclusion that this, lyrically, is a rollercoster, and not in the fun way. The lyrics range from incredibly pronounced and well thought out to kinda lackluster. From lines such as "And the land I was meant to love feels like a short stay in Hell," this lyric is incredibly intellectually sound and it makes the song stronger, but then there's lines like this, "Time I'll never ever ever ever get back," You couldn't have come up with something a tad different to replace those evers? It's sad because musically, the song is powerful and it's worth listening to because the instrumentation is tried and true to the Betraying the Martyrs style the gritty guitars and the overflowing bass that you can vaguely hear. It felt like the entire band, minus the lead vocals, was giving their own and it stuck well. Also, the random swearing in the song kinda threw me off at first. I don't mind swearing in music, but this line threw it off just a tad. Like, not at threw beginning and where this line is repeated throughout the song, but where he kinda misuses the word in one of the lines that could've been remedied with a simple word rearranging. If he had switched lost and fucking around it would've sounded more coherent then it actually is. Will I come back and listen to this song? Probably, if only for the instruments because that's what attracted me to them during their Breath in Life escapade. The entire band was legible, not just some parts and the bass is just there.

  72. J.... M....

    I like how Aaron sounds more natural now than computerized like they were on Phantoms.

  73. I.... B....

    perfect

  74. D.... R....

    putain les gars, j'ai eu les frissons tout le long du morceau 😍🤘

  75. r.... s....

  78. M.... H....

    Aaron is a fucking bad ass with those lows. Fucking BEAST!!!!

  79. G.... ....

    Great voice, both scream and clean.

  87. R.... S....

    鳥肌たったわ、やばすぎ!

  88. N.... L....

    /facepalm at all the whiners saying things about Breathe in Life, that is my favourite album of all time, but that's irrelevant, enjoy the new track and stop comparing and acting like demanding children.
