Hatebreed - Empty Promises Lyrics






You came to me with salvation, saying I must repent. You offer up your
redemption, a guarantee for a better life in your safe world. Your illusions
are comfort for your conscience. My sacrifices will be made in honor of what
is truly sacred. How can you save me, when you can't save yourself? You
can't save yourself.

  1. w.... ....

    Vocals sounds like 1993 Max Cavalera

  2. J.... M....

    Is it just me, or has Hatebreed always been pushing a message completely opposite to that of most metal? Confidence. Strength. Power. Where as most rock and metal is about self pity and despair. "Woe is me so feel sorry for me to make the world better" vs "get fukt. I can overcome all."

  3. D.... ....

    Mediocre.

  4. m.... r....

    TERRAFIRMA 6!

  5. i.... 0....

    You came to me with salvation
    Saying I must repent
    You offer up your redemption
    A guarantee for a better life
    In your safe world

    Your illusions are comfort for your conscience
    My sacrifices will be made 
    In honor of what is truly sacred

    How can you save me
    When you can't save yourself
    You can't save yourself

    O.... P....

    By far my favorite Hatebreed album.

  15. N.... S....

    what has 9 thumbs and 5 assholes? Hatebreed.

  16. b.... ....

    a classic, best hardcore song ever written

  17. K.... ....

    Only good hatebreed record before they turned all metalcore

    K.... ....

    If you knew what metalcore actually was then you'd realize how stupid your comment is. Metalcore is hardcore punk and metal. 90s Integrity and Judge are Metalcore. And no, Hatebreed did come out with some good albums in the 00's too.

    K.... ....

    @Lord Takyon If Judge is metalcore then Hatebreed definitely is metalcore you moron. Any band that blends hardcore and metal is metalcore. Metalcore has always been impossible to define, there are no set rules. You can mix NYHC with Slayer riffs or you can mix youth crew HC with heavy ass breakdowns and you can even play straight up metal but with DIY/edge/vegan ethics and still be metalcore

    K.... ....

    @23D1998 you're right dude

  18. c.... ....

    Honestly, this is the only hatebreed song I like.

  19. D.... R....

    Code for: I moshed naked to this song!

  20. S.... ....

  21. O.... M....

  22. h.... ....

    love love love love

  24. J.... B....

    @hassanumer999 For The Punx was a great hardcore album too, but anyways, this album is great

  25. B.... ....

    @bananiolo2 I agree. I like and listen to a shit ton of hardcore, but this album is still the best to me. Maybe it's just nostalgic for me, but it's perfect.

  26. H.... U....

    @moko9hoko I've heard a LOT of hardcore records, old school new school, melodic and toughguy, punkish and metallic, and I have to say this album comes close to being one of the best of all time, and definitely the top 10 for the 90s Metallic Hardcore era.

  27. m.... ....

    @bananiolo2 umm ok. dirty rotten LP/EP, Suicidal Tendencies (album), Dealing with it, Violent Pacification LP, Freedumb, all bad brains albums.

  28. b.... ....

    @moko9hoko quote some then.

  29. m.... ....

    @bananiolo2 your off by a long shot buddy. i dont think you've heard alot of hardcore bands if you think this is the best hardcore album. now im not saying its bad just definitely not the best.

  30. t.... ....

    I know a guy who moshed naked to this song.

  31. b.... ....

    Best hardcore album.

    b.... ....

    Snapcase - Progression through unlearning is absolutely right there with this. 2 best hardcore albums

  32. G.... M....

    this album is amazing!!

  33. a.... r....

    yeah! love the singer's voice!

  34. A.... M....

    Hardcore and hardcore punk are the same thing. It's just an abbreviation, just like crust and crust punk are same shit. It is more metal influenced than those bands you mentioned though.

  35. k.... ....

    Short and brutal but sweet!!!

  36. R.... T....

    this song is so fuckin brutal and sick but is too short thou

  37. D.... D....
