Billy Talent - Half Past Dead Lyrics
Oh this heart was made of gold
Now it's blackened like a coal burns red
I need to find a role model
Like I need a hole in my head
I'm already half past dead
Strike me 'til I break, then turn me into flames
'Cause round and around, you can't go down
Without a pound and an ounce of pain
I wake up, find again my shadow haunts me 'til the end
'Cause round and around, you can't go down
Without a pound and an ounce of pain
Oh the darkest black her soul
And once I drank her potion
A witch came back to haunt my dreams
Don't need to change the time honey
I'm already half past dead
Strike me 'til I break, then turn me into flames
'Cause round and around, you can't go down
Without a pound and an ounce of pain
I wake up, find again my shadow haunts me 'til the end
'Cause round and around, you can't go down
Without a pound and an ounce of pain
Round and around you can't go down
'til your face don't match your name
And I can't stop the rain
That's falling down with no escape
Years go by, you lose your mind
And your face don't match your name
I curse the world in vain
My stubborn heart will never change
Round and around, you can't go down
Without a pound and an ounce of pain
Round and around, you can't go down
Without a pound and an ounce of pain
Round and around, you can't go down
Until your face don't match your name
Round and around, you can't go down
Without a pound and an ounce of pain
Round and around, you can't go down
Without a pound and an ounce of pain
I wake up, find again my shadow haunts me 'til the end
'Cause round and around, you can't go down
Without a pound and an ounce of pain
Round and around, you can't go down
Without a pound and an ounce of pain
'Cause round and around, you can't go down
Until your face don't match your name

Billy Talent Half Past Dead Comments
heyyy jo e
Damn, the part from 0:56 with the instrumental fills is so good!
this is so jammin! im so mad i havent heard this til now!!
I would much rather see this on the album. Personally I can’t stand Time Bomb. This should replace that. Can’t wait for their next record!
Man, this song is hard to play on guitar!!
Reminds me of their PEZZ days
I've been following Billy Talent since they're self-titled and love everything they've ever done.. just amazed that this track didn't make it on the album.. this is my favorite track out of them all and it's a Bonus??
Japanese certainly do get all the good shit.
Nice! Now one of my favorites in Afraid Of Heights!
also
Im the 420th Like
Kinda wish this song was released as a single instead of Louder Than The DJ
omg! are there more "special songs" only available in a few countries????
yeah there is one for billy talent 3 I know for sure, just cant remember the name, its actually pretty sweet
Shrimply Pibbles you mean don’t need to pretend?
Or Bloody Nails + Broken Hearts
@TerrorSnow
This track is great!
japanese bonus track?! That's freaking good, I want that on my album too!!!!!!
Now i gotta buy this song cause its not on there album
what did Japan do to get this
LOVE THIS SONG!!! its louder than A dj!!HALF PAST THAT TROUGH THE SPEAKERS VOLUME 100 :p
Billy talent from Canada, but why would we get the bonus track... :(
theres hints of I Mother Earth in this song, i fuckin love it!
John Last Im not hearing it. Could you point out an instance? I like to think BT tries pretty hard not to sound derivative.
just the guitar tone reminds me of i mother earth, im not sayin BT is trying to sound like them at all, after all Pezz was around at the same time, thats just the awesome sound of 90's canadian hard rock
listen to the album scenery and fish by i mother earth, lots of similar sounds, nothing wrong with it at all, they are both amazing canadian rock bands
Bonus tracks are always fucking awesome.. One of the best songs from Afraid of Heights!!
First drum solo in history of Billy Talent
where?? lool
Mr Kew thats called a fill fam.
u mean the fills with the triplets? sounds so good but i cant play it properly unfortunately :/
Why wasn't this included on the American version and Horses and Chariots be the bonus track on the Japanese album? This is a hell of a lot better.
Nah, Horses and Chariots is one of the best songs on the CD in my opinion (it's definitely in my personal top 5). They should have deleted the redundant Afraid of Heights reprise instead and added this song. Even better: they could have made Afraid of Heights a record with 13 songs instead of 12.
You're wrong. You may like Horses and Chariots, but it's electronic sounding and very un-Billy Talent like. Same with Afraid of Heights reprise. Which is why I really wish they had put this song on the album instead of Horses and Chariots and Kingdom of Zod instead of Afraid of Heights reprise.
You've git ti be kidding me. Did you really just say that his personal opinion is wrong? His PERSONAL OPINION dude, there's nothing wrong or right about it, even if you disagree.
Besides, don't you think it's a bit hypocritical to say you don't like the record because it's different? Be honest with your self, you'd be just as (if not more) pissed if they would have made an album that sounded just like the 4 before. Which doesn't even make much sence in the first place since every album had quite a unique feel to it (compare BT I to Dead Silence for example and tell me they sound alike.)
It's just always the same with people, can't satisfy them no matter what they do.
Personally I love the new record, just as much as I love the others. It's unique, it's different but it's still definitely Billy Talent and even with all the changes in sound and style they really managed to keep the unique Billy-Talent-ness to it.
1) I would have loved another record that had the same sound as Billy Talent I or II. 2) I'm not saying all the records sound exactly the same. But, they have a certain feel that wasn't present in some of the songs on Afraid of Heights. That's not to say I don't like the record, I just think Horses and Chariots and Afraid of Heights reprise sound electronic which is unusual for Billy Talent and I hope they don't evolve into a soft pop band.
I'm getting your point.
And actually I'd really appreciate some "harder" record as well, but still you've got to see that they are all getting older, Ben's voice doesn't seem to be able to do those high pitched screams he used to be able to perform.
Still it's always nice to talk to people with different opinione, personally I like the new style just as much as the previous ones.
And it's their right as artists do do what they like and what they think sounds good, whether you like it or not is up to you :)
this is a lot less generic and boring as a lot of the other songs, should've been on the album :/
the album was amazing be quiet
+James Shore pretty boring compared to all the other albums they released
James Shore the album is quite generic and boring compared to all the previous albums, which are great.
+Arutzuki yep. 100%
Arutzuki i agree, dead silence was much better
Awesome album. Always something special about these artist, i must say awesome little slash thing going on in the solo great tune Half past Dead ! Billy Talent !
it`s fuckin`nice!!!!
Yes !!!!
Funnily enough best track is a bonus one.
Should of a being a single
Fucking best song
1. Why the fuck is this just on the japanese edition
2. Why the fuck haven't I heard anything about this
I think it could be irrelevant for other countries or banned there :/ I know about more songs that were banned becouse of stupid laws.
As far as I know CDs are more expensive in Japan compared to other countries. That's why bands mostly put an extra track on the Japanese version of their albums
Music albums in Japan are very expensive. Most major labels/artists put bonus tracks exclusive to Japan on their albums to try and increase sales there.
And even though CDs are more expensive in Japan, more people buy CDs in Japan compared to the North America.
ya because there are 33 million canadians spread out over a giant piece of land and 120 million japanese crammed into an island, thats why more of them buy cd's lol
Amazing! This rocks so hard, it's like Rush - Cut to The Chase ...i almost die listening this song! So good ;-;
I'm blessed to keep seeing my two faves compared
why Japanese have some extra tracks always? are they so special?
+EverydayEvilGuy japanese people actually love metal
+EverydayEvilGuy an example that japanese ppl don't just listen to crappy music

@WaaDoku【和ァ独】 ohh havent known that.. it explains all. thanks. why dont they try to make prices lower instead of putting more songs on albums
@Marek Svoboda Not sure, I'm on that. Probably many factors that play into that, ressources, economy, wages, etc.
I'D RATHER HAVE THIS THAN HORSES AND CHARIOTS :(((
Id rather have this than half the album. Not their best effort in my opinion, but this was one of the few good tracks for sure.
Robin Dreier I liked this!
LetsGoInStyle All bands change and evolve. Billy Talent is no different. Their old stuff is drastically different from the way they sounded when they were Pezz. AOF wasn't my favorite album, but I liked it overall.
Horses and Chariots was good as well, instead of taking a song off the album they should have just thrown it on as well. It should have been on the deluxe edition actually.
LetsGoInStyle I love the chorus's except for AoH (the flagship song lul)
This is pure gold!
where can we download/purchase this song online ??? it rocks sooo hard
+Omgwtfbbqftw333 that's weird! Good thing I found it while looking for bonus tracks 😂
