Fair To Midland - Walls Of Jericho Lyrics






What splendidly weaved from an atom bomb,
Retrieved from a teleprompt,
Practical, you are not,
Break the ice with a cotton swab,
A fever that cools us all,
Handshake's a contact sport,

No one was waiting to throw out the pilot,
We'll float on the back of the winds that you send us,

Another tomorrow,
Shedding the shade we made yesterday,
Disguised as the lightning,
Dissolving all of the thunder,
Then appeasing a monster under the acrylic skies,
Another tomorrow,

So grab my hand here comes the crash,
I live for the strong impact that renders both our airbags,
Takes every letter you send,
Don't fold if you're made to bend,
Rekindle the feud again,

No one was waiting to throw out the pilot,
We'll float on the back of the winds that you send us,

Another tomorrow,
Shedding the shade we made yesterday,
Disguised as the lightning,
Dissolving all of the thunder,
Then appeasing a monster under the acrylic skies,
Another tomorrow,

Did you recognize your next door neighbor today,

String up your harp,
Play like today will last five minutes,
This won't take long,
Sing us a song that stops the silence,

Another tomorrow,
Shedding the shade we made yesterday,
Disguised as the lightning,
Dissolving all of the thunder,
Then appeasing a monster under the acrylic sky,
Another tomorrow.

    Still one of my favorite songs ❤️2019

    E.... S....

    back in 2007 for my sixteenth birthday I saw these guys start hooking their stuff up, heard some random quotes, then this song started.....the rest is history

    E.... S....

    Still one of the best bands ever.

    E.... S....

    I love there albums... hell of a band

    Epiccccccc

  9. N.... ....

    2019 ?😎

  10. A.... E....

    Oh man, that's so damn catchy! I'm normally into Death metal and such, but this just became my favorite song. It's one of those songs that just touches your soul. I've listened to this song multiple times a day. Too bad you guys aren't a band anymore I've come to hear. That's a shame. You guys could make it big if given the proper recognition.

    A.... E....

    Right? I'm normally into Gothic metal but I can't get enough of this song. I've heard a few other songs from them and they're equally amazing. I hope they reform, given the proper backing, they could be HUGE.

  11. R.... M....

    One of the greats!!!!

  12. m.... ....

    I saw them in 2007 at the el laso streetfest . They were amazing

  13. S.... C....

    Cry everytime i think of my brother and missing my 5th grade year im 19

  14. G.... L....

    JERICHO!!! MARKUS WHERE ARE YOU!?!?!

  15. a.... d....

    Take a bow.
    Nice music ❤️👌
    The lyrics are catchy

  16. B.... D....

    Seen this guys live in NYC.. if I remember correctly the lead singer was hanging upside down from the ceiling.. unless that was me hanging from the ceiling after listen to them🤣

    B.... D....

    Heh I saw him climb light trusses and drop down from 15+ feet and pop up and continue to go crazy. Dude is special Andrew Sudderth is a special kind of Hardcore and entertaining. He can achieve what he does on Studio recordings live, NP. As long as the sound tech(s) know wtf they are doing.

  17. p.... m....

    vocalist reminds me of Ian Anderson from Jethro Tull

  18. E.... A....

    fuck yes, I have found a new great band

  19. �.... ....

    かっこよすぎる。日本に来てほしい!

  20. T.... P....

    Listening in 2017. Still remember when I saw them around 2007 or so. Amazing band.

  21. T.... L....

    Perhaps I don’t understand every lyric but I get the Just. A Grungy, ProgRock band with A Circus sort of sound? It Kicks Ass!

  22. T.... L....

    The Bass Line is Sick as Fuck! So Fucking Good!

  23. D.... K....

    amazing band very unfortunate people with this level of talent don't get paid enough to even pay the bills. also serj tankian from system of a down had these guys under the label. i had a good chat with these guys and the reason they stopped is beacuse they werent getting any money

    D.... K....

    @ACatNamedJoe x dunno if its as simple as that

    D.... K....

    @Sam Drone may not be, but it's not impossible. Even given physical distance. Look at slice the cake

    D.... K....

    ​@ACatNamedJoe x thanks introducing me to that. Life doesnt always give you what you want. i have better things to worry about than making money but alas I have to

    D.... K....

    @Sam Drone we all do, my dude. Just part of the rat race. 🤷‍♀️

    D.... K....

    I got 5 on it

  24. K.... F....

    I freaking love this song and I'm 11

    K.... F....

    good for you

    K.... F....

    Great!. Sorry you missed the live shows. Start a 'gofundme' hslp this man prevail and make all us fans/u happy. Give the man a gift he cant refuse.

  25. E.... ....

    WOW! Just heard ( and felt ) them for the first time about 30 minutes ago. Lots of questions. I'm a new listener, for sure. God Bless them each.

    E.... ....

    They are one of those bands that deserve to be in the place of so many shitty mainstream bands that rob people of a true experience. They'd open the minds of so many and make you crave more. Very original.

  26. N.... P....

    What a beautiful piece of music. So emotional

  27. J.... H....

    thier music sounds like sheer freedom. somewhat liberating.

  28. z.... v....

    Could have been so much more...

  29. I.... ....

    Dallas treasures😻

    I.... ....

    Yes they are! DTX representing'!!!

    I.... ....

    Im passing through Sulphur Springs Texas as I speak. Boy how i wish i could find darroah and chill for a bit. But the pipeline wont drill itself, so onward we go.

  30. a.... ....

    i.f.s. version..still awesome, but artwork =/= studio version.

  31. A.... E....

    bruhhhh this shit was lit af

  32. K.... ....

    If anyone wants to sell a Fair to Midland DVD or knows an online store which still sells them or something, please contact me!

  33. A.... F....

    ftm for life

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

    This band SO deserved to be a household name...Amazing lyrics and musical genius.

    J.... F....

    It's a household name for me.

  35. A.... ....

    I miss these guys. They definitely had a bright future

    A.... ....

    they were signed under Serjical Strike, which is technically a label.

    A.... ....

    AstroKnott im passing through their hometown right now!

    A.... ....

    Yeah the singer and the bassist... I think bassist... Are in a different group. It sounds similar but it's not the same feeling

    A.... ....

    @THE SLOW DEATH HOOKS Atleast you have the music.

    Andrew Sudderth the singer was so entertaining. Most fun to watch live. His vocal range was ridiculous and he was extremely energetic. I remember one time in Bryan, TX he climbed up the light trusses which had to have been a good 15+ ft high, then dropped down from them (on purpose). I thought the show was over but he popped up and started going crazy again. Shit was hardcore. Miss this band.

    A.... ....

    @Mike Elbow 2 years later and i'm still listening to this band all the time haha. I'm in texas right now actually, i would have killed to see them play a show.

  36. C.... U....

    Why they broke up?WHY?!

    C.... U....

    +Cactus Ubriachi The TL;DR of the matter is that they basically got fucked over by their record company.

    C.... U....

    😢😢😢😢😢😢

    C.... U....

    +Cavedog they could ask Serj for help. I believe he helped them before. He also recognized their talent. Shame they broke up ;(.

    C.... U....

    idk man i still cry everytim

  37. G.... M....

    Onizuka, anche io ho conosciuto questa band grazie a croix89 x'D hahaha grandi

    G.... M....

    Gin Millars è lui il motivo per cui sono consciuti in Italia😂

    G.... M....

    G.... M....

  38. i.... L....

  40. E.... O....

    E.... O....

    Anch'io grazie a Croix 😂😂😂

    E.... O....

    sapevo di non essere l'unico

    E.... O....

    Io invece non sapevo di non essere l'unico <3

    E.... O....

    CROIX ❤❤❤❤

    E.... O....

    CROIX ❤❤❤❤

  41. Y.... ....

    Fuck, no one closes out a song like FTM. So fucking bummed they're done :(

  42. S.... H....

    harp not plural

  43. J.... F....

    still makes me cry to the first time I heard forever

  44. J.... S....

    amazing band, badass live

  45. O.... M....

    This is madness down in Texas! This band is phenomenal. Everything they play turns into...mercury!

  46. B.... ....

    You sir have an excellent taste in music. Once I saw Porcupine Tree and Karnivool I thought to myself "this guy better have Devin on this list".

  47. a.... ....

    Love this song, But it is totally about the atomic bombings in Japan.

  48. o.... ....

    I cannot believe this song has been in my itunes for so long, and I have never heard how amazing it is.

  49. o.... ....

    This song is amazing :)

  50. C.... ....

    That Chorus O_o

  51. D.... ....

    Neal Morse.
    'Nuff Said

  52. G.... B....

    Sept 7th Granada theatre, Dallas Baby!! gonna be an EPIC!!

  53. K.... ....

    Porcupine Tree (In Absentia/The Incident/Deadwing)? Karnivool (Themata/Sound Awake)? Anathema (A Fine Day to Exit/Judgement/We're Here Because We're Here)? Birds of Tokyo (Universes)? Dredg (The Pariah, The Parrot, The Delusion)? In my opinion Devin Townsend makes some of the best music around today (Ocean Machine, Terria, Synchestra), so I have to recommend for the sake of that, but it's not much akin to FtM at all.

  54. J.... P....

    Your parents were drowned out by fail.

  55. R.... ....

    The Mars Volta, Children of Nova, 30 Seconds To Mars, some others I can't quite think of at the moment.

  56. Z.... T....

    arrows and anchors is drown out by fail!

  57. J.... P....

    the first time i heard him say under the Acrylic skies i had to replay it like 10 times in disbelief. There is no way that any human has a voice this unbelieveable.

  58. D.... L....

    Wow this is sooo techno-ish!

  59. A.... ....

    this sounded so much different on my ipod... i thought he said "doubt that i could escape" not "under acrylic skies" xD

  60. u.... ....

    42 likes, 0 dislikes, jus saiyan XD

  61. D.... ....

    @dan52484 Karnivool, another band FTM has toured with

  62. H.... ....

  63. G.... B....
