Fit For An Autopsy - Shepherd Lyrics






The shepherds kill their sheep
Just to watch them die
The end of days is born
Under the burning sky

A thousand oceans spill upon the spoiled shore
Returning cities to the sea
All as it was before
Retreat beyond the walls
Where vultures go to die
Scavenge for substance as the last
Is swallowed by the flies

Now we compete with bird and beast
Cycles of deceit, doomed to repeat
Sorrow we seed in, to an earth I once believed in
A future stained, in the blood of our children

We carve through mountains
Great shadows they cast
Now desolate wastelands
Clinging to brighter pasts
Nations of thieves
Selling our souls for gold
Critical mass
Our fate is terminal

Man is the cancer
We call for death and it answers
Man is the cancer
We call for death and it answers

A thousand fires turn the forests into dust and bone
A wind so thick with ash
The statues shatter into stone
The leaders turn to lepers
Begging to survive
Scavenge for substance as the last
I swallowed by the flies

Behold true sorrow
Behold true sorrow
Behold true sorrow

The shepherds kill their sheep
Just to watch them die
The end of days is born
Under burning sky

Man is the cancer
We call for death and it answers
Man is the cancer
We call for death and it answers

We carve through mountains
Great shadows they cast
Now desolate wastelands
Clinging to brighter pasts
Nations of thieves
Selling our souls for gold
Critical mass
Our fate is terminal
Our fate is terminal

    damn this mckamey manor clip is insane

  4. J.... O....

    Really happy with this album, well done all around.

  5. n.... ....

    I wanna put this out there - Not comparing genres, but I think Joe, Will and all the boys of FFAA, are doing now, what Corey and Slipknot did for metal back in the late 90s/Slipknot/Iowa era
    They are sculpting and moulding the next generation of metal - Vocally and Musically!! It’s a privilege to witness and experience right at this time

  6. C.... C....

    *That intro is just* 🔥🔥🔥

  7. E.... P....

    Da bomb.... So True... Like a... Thy art is murders - naked and cold....

  8. b.... ....

    Really digging the old In Flames vibe

  9. K.... W....

    Is that a carpenters union shirt I see?

  10. R.... S....

    the intro reminds me of Ambrosia

    still solid track, well done guys!

  11. j.... O....

    this is ass

  12. s.... w....

    Oh my goodness this be some big ol' titties

  13. S.... ....

    Look at the guy with the AR strolling around like he's the most casual contractor ever.

  14. A.... ....

    M O I S T

  15. R.... R....

    Damn! That chorus!

  16. J.... P....

    Joes range of vocals is crazy!

  17. A.... L....

    Preordered this on vinyl. Cant wait till friday!

  18. G.... S....

    Holy shit that was amazing!!

  19. J.... L....

    Well then.....holy shit that was awesome restoring my faith in music one song at a time

  20. A.... A....

    Another banger. See you guys in LA ♥️

  21. L.... W....

    I had totally forgotten how fucking good this band is. See you guys when you come to the uk ❤

  22. S.... M....

    This album is gonna slap so hard

  23. t.... ....

    This just might be AOTY for me. Can't wait until it drops. This song is just too good

  24. I.... T....

    Verse Riff sounds so much like Salt The Wound

  25. S.... ....

    Wenn der nich so brüllen würde 😂

  26. �.... ....

    this made my day way better

  27. N.... J....

    Joe you're vocals are so crisp!!!!!!! Love them

  28. b.... ....

    This is perfection, you never disappoint 🤘

  29. M.... C....

    the lyrics and tour information is beautiful

  30. H.... N....

    I have a very good feeling about this album.

  31. G.... I....

    Lyrics rule but the music is so boring.

  32. D.... B....

    Very timely. ☠☠🧟‍♀️🧟‍♀️

  33. R.... S....

    I hope these guys never stop making music

  34. I.... ....

    Didn’t like how they went down from a solid and brutal core less death metal band to a lame from the cheap stores progressive influenced metalcore outfit.

    I.... ....

    ICANSEEDEADHORIZONS 🙄🙄🙄

  35. I.... A....

    Just when I though Gojira and FFAA are missing in action, I open spotify and voila! In the new releases for you tab together with Jinjer, Alterbridge, Polyphia, etc etc etc.

    Also,
    The lyrics are brutal af *BUT* the melody leaves much room for want. It needs to be heavy yet catchy and melodic in my subjective musical taste and or preference; just putting in my two cents.

    Again also,
    25th? See you on friday...err, or Saturday. I'm on the +8 PST time zone so yeah. See you when I see you on the digital album drop.

  36. B.... ....

    They never disappoint

  37. a.... ....

  38. T.... C....

    No joke I get the feeling this is going to be my album of the year. killing it with the 3 songs released so far.

  39. C.... C....

    The lyrics remind me of 'They Will Know Another'. This album is going to be epic

  40. A.... G....

  41. C.... D....

    Dope song! Sounds alot like Thy Art Is Murder.

  42. G.... D....

    Wait. He learned how to high scream!? Hella.

  43. F.... B....

    The fake aspect ratio bars cut off a bunch of the good stuff

  44. S.... ....

    This kinda reminds me of old Molotov Solution in a few ways

    S.... ....

    Too bad that we never see new album from them :(

    S.... ....

    For me more The Crimson Armada and old As Blood Runs Black

  45. F.... A....

    B.... T....

  68. A.... T....

    The shepherds kill their sheep, just to watch them die

  69. m.... u....

    MAN IS THE CANCER,
    WE CALL FOR DEATH AND IT ANSWERS 🔥

  70. P.... ....

    Slappin'

  71. E.... W....

    You guys are just so god damn polished. You’ve created a new genre; rock polish

  72. S.... A....

    So, first time seeing this band big problem. Errybody is fit for an autopsy. Could do an autopsy on a fetus, just sayin

    S.... A....

    Nigga shut up.

  73. g.... ....

    tbh intro sounds like something Psycroptic would do. fuckin proper phenomenal.

  74. R.... ....

    This song is spectacular!
    "Man is a cancer. We call for death, and it answers." THE BEST LINE

  75. F.... m....

    Pretty stoked about this album and band's progress overall. Over the years I enjoyed their music but didn't really reach out to their material as a fan or supporter, but these past couple years it has been really nice to watch them grow and read more about their views. The " Black Mammoth" video really hit me hard and had me diving "head first" into the rest of this album and lyrical content. I have to be honest and would like to admit that I never really pre-order much things or get huge packages, not the case for this band and their progress. Can't wait. /m/

  76. M.... K....

  80. A.... L....

    Those highs though.

  81. N.... P....

    The shepherds kill their sheep
    Just to watch them die 🎶

  82. M.... W....

    Joe just fucks around and learns a new vocal technique like it's no big deal..these dudes are moving to elite status.

  83. P.... H....

    Definitely shaping up to be the best FFAA album yet. Can't fucking wait for the 25th

  84. M.... ....

    Wow
    Very impressive.

  85. B.... O....

    I like this new Thy art is murder song!

    I am so stoked about this album, you have no idea. 😉

  88. S.... 3....

    Pat Sheridan is the MAN

  89. E.... S....

    I’m not feeling this album all that much so far. AHAH and HELLBOUND are still their best work in my opinion. That being said if joe keeps doing those high screams like that he’s gonna blow out his voice.

  90. J.... H....

    Also, this is a worthy tribute of the melodeath style you claim it to be. So excited for this record!

  91. J.... H....

    I appreciate the lyrics rolling through the info tab at the bottom.

  92. p.... ....

    hes in a glass case of emotion

  93. W.... S....

    What a badass fucking video. Great concept with the news headline showing lyrics. All done in one take. Amazing song. Bringing up issues of the world being destroyed. I fucking love this band.

  94. j.... 9....

    This album is going to be incredible

  95. O.... ....

    it's not the best from them by far imo but it isn't as bad as sea of tragic beasts was. gonna have to hear more of the album before i make a decision.

  96. R.... 3....

    So pumped for this album, and seeing you guy's next month in Rochester, NY! ❤

  97. B.... -....

    Simply badass! Love it! 👌🤘🤘
