Exodus - Good Day To Die Lyrics






Woke up this morning and he,
he took a look to the sky
The sun was hot and glowing
decided today is a good day to die
He wasn't sure just how, no he didn't know,
but he knew the reasons why
No one saw this coming because he kept it all inside
Out of control like a runaway train
desperate to end all his pain
You've got to understand there's
a better plan if you can open your eyes

You told yourself on your road to ruin
Today is a good day, a good day to die
Life to you is such a heavy burden
Today is a good day, a good day to die

So that's what you wanna do?
Take the easy way out
Suicide's only for cowards,
is that what you're all about
Are you afraid of the world around you,
are you afraid of what might be?
Think of the ones who love you
all the things you'll never see
Out of control like a runaway train
desperate to end all his pain
You've got to understand there's
a better plan if you can open your eyes

Friends all around, yet you feel so alone
Today is a good day, a good day to die
Carry on and you'll find the peace you've never known
Today is a good day, a good day to try

Exodus Good Day To Die Comments
  1. G.... ....

    This song kept me alive! I was very depressed because things started piling up in my life, and couldn't deal with any of it, so I figured...fuck everything and everyone! I gave all my favorite things away to my good friends, and acted like nothing was wrong. No one caught onto what was going on cause I played it off so well, anyways I waited until I knew my parents were going to be gone all day, went to my room pulled out my pistol, loaded it up and pulled out my knife. I was going to slice myself and then shoot myself (I was determined to die) and then thought "one more song" I had Force Of Habit on cassette and threw it in the player. It happened to be right at the beginning of this song, so I listened to the song, and by the end I lost it! I unloaded the gun and threw my knife across the room (it went right into the wall). This song gave me a new perspective on life, and since then I have been much happier and have never thought about suicide again! When my boy was born back in 2001, I immediately thought of this and realized how foolish and cowardly I acted! If any of you even think that killing yourself is the way out, think again! It is a selfish thought, and not only are you taking your life, but you are taking a piece of life from your friends, and more importantly a major piece of life from each of your Family members, which is very selfish! Depression fucking bites, and if you are having trouble, talk to friends, (which I find much easier to do) and do not turn to drugs or alcohol, that shit is only a temporary solution to ease the pain. If you are having issues with others, then dump them on their ass and move on! They aren't worth your time. Remember, YOU ARE WORTH YOUR LIFE!

  10. k.... C....

    This song sucks so bad this tells you how bad Exodus was a try to get the big money this is a shity

  11. R.... L....

    This song should be played in their concerts

  12. Y.... ....

    The lyrics, the music, the video... I love this shit, man.

  13. i.... ....

    Can’t get enuff of this song even after having listened to it for over 20 years...

  14. T.... ....

    This video is so badass 👺

  15. D.... M....

    Now, this is grunge!

    D.... M....

    Dave Marriott death metal*

    D.... M....

    @aa bb I know exodus are a death metal band.

    But I wouldn't say this song is death metal.

    I'd say it's more grunge, or possibly even sludge metal.

    D.... M....

    Exodus is a thrash band

    D.... M....

    @awesomeguys cej You're probably right on that one!

  16. J.... H....

    Holt second to one!! Slayer couldn't have found a better replacement

    J.... H....

    Who is he second too?!?! Dave carlo?

    J.... H....

    @awesomeguys cej Hanneman!!!

    J.... H....

    O true what was I thinking

  17. A.... J....

    The heaviest thrash song ever!

    A.... J....

    Anders Johansson are you serious

  18. A.... ....

    best thrash band ever ....

  19. A.... N....

    Motherfucking H-Team! This song has one of the best Gary Holt & Rick Hunolt leads!

  20. M.... J....

    Good ol days

  21. M.... H....

    RIP Jeff Hahnemann

  22. K.... B....

    Perhaps one of the most underrated metal songs of all time.

  23. f.... ....

    That one time Exodus went full grunge

  24. L.... C....

    I WATCHED A METAL DOCUMENTARY ABOUT 20 YEARS AGO AND EXODUS WAS BEING INTERVIEWED.THEY SPOKE ABOUT A FRIEND OF THEIRS WHO TOLD THEM HE HAD A SIX PACK OF BEER AND ( SOMETHING TO DO) THEY LATER FOUND OUT THAT SUICIDE WAS THE(SOMETHING TO DO) I NEVER FORGOT THAT INTERVIEW.

  25. L.... A....

    Exodus from seattle

  26. a.... ....

    I blast this on every good day to die

  27. S.... ....

    This album gets severely over looked. Even though it didn't have hunting, the leads are probably gary/ricks craziest (or up there in the top ten craziest) of their career. The songs are also masterfully written. But whatever I'm happy to be a dork and cherish this record while the majority of donks over looks it.

  28. S.... ....

    when you look up Hunolt in the dictionary this solo comes up

    S.... ....

    and slaps your gf on the ass

  29. M.... ....

    The moment when exodus toned it down! But I still love it!!

  30. K.... B....

    2019 and still listening to this, amazing grungy sound, love it!

  31. M.... K....

    MASTERPIECE

  32. m.... b....

    Exodus makes guitars ROAR ! This is it. Heavy Metal !

  33. z.... ....

    fucken awesome!!!

  34. F.... J....

    I love that solo

  35. h.... ....

    One of my he most underrated metal albums ever. I know Gary still doesn’t like it but it’s a 90’s masterpiece.

  36. a.... h....

    It's a gorgeous day of judgment

  37. �.... �....

    Mui bom

  38. G.... R....

    This almost sounds like a more accessible Melvins song when I think about it

  39. J.... B....

    *EXODUS*
    The service of METAL

    Gary holt Brazil love you

  40. v.... ....

    The beginning of the 90ies was the period when everybody went into that groove shit.

  41. N.... R....

    sounds like my old tv is turned on wtf ???

  70. L.... R....

  83. A.... D....

    A.... D....

    Last line is "Today is a good day, a good day to try"

    A.... D....

    On the second verse, it's "today's a good day to die," not "today's a good day, a good day to die."
