Defeater - Unanswered Lyrics

Prayers are never answered. You just make excuses for god, in order to keep believing, because reality is harsh

I was a good man once, I was a good man once
But years of unanswered prayers have left me faithless
I was a good man once but now hopeless and abandoned
I was a good man once, I was a good man once
But years of serving in hell have left me faithless
I was a good man once but now hopeless and abandoned
Now hopeless and abandoned
Hopeless and abandoned

I was a good man once, I was a good man once
But years of unanswered prayers have left me faithless
I was a good man once but now hopeless and abandoned
I was a good man once, I was a good man once
But years of serving in hell have left me faithless
I was a good man once but now hopeless and abandoned

I let the pain in my head turn the veins in my arms to ash
Feel the burn in my blood in my lungs in my chest collapse
I feel the ache in my guts as the memories and hurt flood back
When all I want to feel, when all I want to feel is nothing

I let the pain in my head turn the veins in my arms to ash
I feel the burn in my blood in my lungs in my chest collapse
I feel the ache in my guts as the memories and hurt flood back
When all I want to feel, when all I want to feel

I was a good man once, I was a good man once
But years of unanswered prayers have left me faithless
I was a good man once but now hopeless and abandoned
I was a good man once, I was a good man once
But years of serving in hell have left me faithless
I was a good man once but now hopeless and abandoned
Now hopeless and abandoned. hopeless and abandoned

Forgive me, my father, for I am a sinner
Unanswered, abandoned, unanswered, abandoned
Forgive me, my father, for I am a sinner
Unanswered, abandoned, unanswered

"Can't stop wacking it"-Gon Jrim

anyone have the instrumental of this?

This band is indescribably good.

Does anyone know the guitar rig they use? pedals? amps?

YO THIS PIFF

Definitely deserves to have AT LEAST another 100,000 views by this time.

This band is so fucking underrated

Seeing them on the 8th. I'm guessing they'll play this one! So stoked

"i was a goodman once. . . ."

1:45 when all I want to feel, when all I want to FEEEEEEEEEEL

dat snare doe <3

The Feels.

I just realised a tiny me is in this video for like half a second

Loving this

I didn't think Letters Home could be topped, but it was...and it's not close. That's how good this album is. Defeater never disappoints.

So good.

Not feeling this one as much as Spared in Hell, but still super excite for the album.

What the fuck man, I miss the unpredictability of Defeater, especially the drums but i am just a not a fan of you're two tracks you released its pretty much the same the whole way through. I respect change and all that.. BUT HOW MANY TIMES DO YOU WANA TELL ME YOU WERE A GOOD MAN ONCE?! This is so disappointing I never imagined giving Defeater a thumbs down but the music is nowhere near as epic  :( hope there's some bangers on the album fingers crossed! R.I.P last two albums

+Jim Woodley the album is about a priest.... consider what priests do in their verses. Pretty self explanatory. It's got nothing to do with anyone being lazy or having a lack of creativity.

Brand new Defeater! Man, these guys NEVER disappoint!

I fucking love this band so much

Derek's vocals sounding more visceral than ever. Fuck.

I can't wait to feel shitty listening to this album.

There's something comforting and consoling about the shitty feeling from Defeater albums...it's like "yeah, I'm an asshole, but I don't want to be, it's only because of all of the shit I've been through"

awesome

every defeater song with an acapella/quiet instrument bit is always my favorite part of the song. fucking love it

whoo, whooo making this fk unrespects?...

Is it me or the guitars and bass are so low? same in spared in hell

This song is so amazing

I love this fucking band.

I was a good man once.

defeater never disappoint!

*snare* dum dum dum dum dum dum ddddum dum dum

BEAUTIFUL SWITZERLAND💎

que basura diack!!

El silicon se te fue al cerebro verdad, plastica?

You know it's a defeater song when the priest is an atheist -__-

2015 is an awesome year for music

+Weeaboo Extermination Squad agreed

@Eck0803 http://www.sweetslyrics.com/1077831.Defeater - Unanswered.html

is that switzerland?

yes.. some parts were from the greenfield festival :)

hehe thought so! :D

FUCK Mitch ffs. He's ded, and will stay ded.
Enjoy Defeater

dude, the comment is one year old ffs

Cool sound. But song is a bit repetitive.

the repetition drives home the message in a really special way

this can easily be one of my fav songs from them

I came here believing it was a Suicide Silence cover. First time hearing this band, I don't regret clicking on this ^.^ reminds me of Being As An Ocean a little

+Majkl FYE the song title?

I'm talking 'bout BAAO, buddy ;)

+Majkl FYE oh I see what you're saying, because it's Melodic Hardcore

Yup, I was just trying to say Defeater are here for over a decade, so maybe BAAO sounds like Defeater, not the opposite... :)

+Majkl FYE I don't think it really matters it's the same genre. I knew BAAO before Defeater

I expected a Suicide Silence cover. I miss Mitch.

Wow making a homophobic comment, watch out we got a badass here.

overrated piece of shit vocalist for mediocre cardboard copy of... every other band of their genre...

+twistedkarm you need to chill man

Oh my god, a new Defeater album. Yes please.

absolutely massive!

Amazing :D <3

That was fucking dope. I like how he repeats

When i read the title, for 1 second, i think that was a Suicide Silence cover.

Suicide Silence sucks. Fight me. 

@Nathan Kelly Ouch, that hurt. 

@Matthew Heckman lel

me too bro haha

That's why I clicked

Back of the hardcore 2m songs, so good!

YES YES YESSSS YES YES

Fuck yeah!

Kind of repetitive

@kamrin miller like your hair mate

emoemoemoemoemo

do you even defeater?

Its intentional; the character is a priest, priests repeat the same shit over and over

Just keeps getting better!

Fist towards the sky to all my crazy rock family;-)

Thumbs up if you were an angry man in the 1950's

@pundredth i still am an angry man in the 1950's, what are you talking about?

@pundredth the album takes place in the 40's

+Adrian Zamora gtfo outa here

These guys never disappoint.
