Ingested - Better Off Dead Lyrics






You think your law is gospel, you think you know the rules
We've burnt down all your effigies, and fostered all the fools
We've snatched the life right out of you, we know you're not amused
This is the way it is. Murder our enemies
We are the shepherds, bitch. Kings, gods, and deities

We tell you to fight, you kill them instead
We tell you to maim, then you bring us the head
Display all the traitors, the rivers run red
Who wants to live when you're better off dead?

Violence is our weapon, prolonged torture
Break them, it's fear we hunger, make it clear we have no peers
No one, mock their weakness, all are cowards
Spineless, now crawl across the floor like the maggots you are

You're better off dead
I'm fucked in the head
Better off dead
I'll laugh as you beg
You're better off dead

Every single fucker holds a candle to our everlasting flame

Kings, gods, deities, all of the above
Wipe away your tears and buckle up
Domination endless as we fuck and we cut
If the sheep become the goats, we will slit their fucking throats

Violence is our weapon, prolonged torture
Break them, it's fear we hunger, make it clear we have no peers
No one, mock their weakness, all are cowards
Spineless, now crawl across the floor like the maggots you are

Every single fucker holds a candle to our everlasting flame
From Surreption to Surpasser, you we are the masters at the apex of our game

We are the chosen ones
We built the pedestal

Power most incredible

Dead, better off dead
Dead, you're better off dead

You're better off dead
I'm fucked in the head
Better off dead
I'll laugh as you beg
You're better off dead

    Congratulations guys!!! Fucking Amazing...hail from Brasil!!!

  8. D.... O....

    At 1:44 the symbols are loader than everything else. Messed up mixing.

  9. C.... S....

    the riff starting at 1:46 is fucking nasty

  10. H.... C....

    Ánimo, son la verga

  11. R.... F....

    Why ?...

  12. N.... T....

    BAD ASS

  13. R.... S....

    Love this song. Great energy. Look forward to seeing more from ingested.

  14. S.... ....

    ахуенно

  15. C.... I....

    If mitch lucker had better vocals. r.i.p. lmao

  16. A.... T....

    Its beautiful!

  17. K.... ....

    To anyone wondering why an ingested fan wouldn't enjoy this song is because too many riffs sound used including the main lead riff in this song, its using the same progression as the lead in their other song purverys of truth which kinda kills it for me.

  18. R.... 3....

    Album of the year right here. Not a single bad song throughout. Every one of these songs carry their own weight and could easily hold up the rest of the album.

  19. E.... M....

    You think your law is gospel, you think you know the rules

    We've burnt down all your effigies, and fostered all the fools

    We've snatched the life right out of you, we know you're not amused

    This is the way it is

    Murder our enemies

    We are the shepherds bitch

    Kings, gods and deities

    We tell you to fight

    You kill them instead

    We tell you to maim

    Then you bring us the head
    Display all the traitors

    The rivers run red

    Who wants to live, when you're better off dead
    Violence



    Is our weapon

    Prolonged

    Torture

    Break them

    It's fear we hunger

    Make it clear we have no peers

    Not one

    Mock their weakness

    All are

    Cowards

    Spineless

    Now crawl across the floor like the maggots you are

    You're better off dead



    I'm fucked in the head

    Better off dead

    I'll laugh as you beg

    You're better off dead

    Every single fucker holds a candle to our everlasting flame

    Kings, gods, deities

    All of the above

    Wipe away your tears and buckle up

    Domination endless

    As we fuck and we cut

    If the sheep become the goats, then we will slit their fucking throats

    Every single fucker holds a candle to our everlasting flame

    From the surreption to surpass, you know we are the masters at
    The Apex of our game



    We, are the chosen ones

    We, built the pedestal

    Power, most incredible
    Dead
    Better off dead
    Dead
    You're better off dead

  20. K.... ....

    E.... L....

    You do know that we're not called Better Off Dead right?

  29. L.... R....

    Ingested make me feel proud to be from Manchester they have helped the metal scene grow in Manchester so much. Was never really there biggest fan but I always appreciated what they did for Manchester but the new album has definitely truned me into a fan 0161 Slamchester

    L.... R....

    I'd never of them but have seen them twice now in the last year or so supporting both Aborted and The Black Dahlia Murder here in Ireland and they killed it both times to be honest, I'm a fan now!

  30. J.... D....

    Say what do you have to do to get views? Apparently not be the most brutal band of all time I guess..

  31. �.... �....

  51. A.... M....

    This is how slamming deathcore should sound

  52. G.... ....

    they are gods \m/

  53. S.... R....

    this is deathcore on steroids - this is SLAMMING - this is The Level Above Human

    S.... R....

    I honestly don't even consider Ingested as a deathcore band as odd as that is. More like a modern day Suffocation to me.

  54. d.... ....

    Kings of slam.

  55. J.... G....

    8 people couldn't handle the slams!

    J.... G....

    32 apparently 🤣

  56. F.... F....

    Its GREAT to be white !!!
    14 in the streets and
    Eighty eight in the streets

    F.... F....

    Focus Fourteen I’m geeking

    F.... F....

    Penis in my mouth oh oh oh oh oh oh coolest username ever .

  57. S.... J....

    That was truly magFUCKINGnificent!

  58. A.... P....

    I've listened to this album so many times already. It's so good

  59. I.... H....

    The thing I love about Ingested is that they always deliver slams tho their music is heavily technical

  60. F.... S....

    Fucking sick!!!

  61. G.... T....

    This album is a Masterpiece.

  62. V.... W....

    I like this band a fair ammount but I could never really latch on to the vocals. The mid and high doesn't seem to hit quite as hard as the music demands. But don't get me wrong, they're far from bad.

  63. D.... S....

    Brutal! Great track

  64. A.... M....

    Hellz ya that's some eargasmic metal riffs for your earcunts !!

  65. M.... S....

    B R U T A L 💀

  66. J.... M....

    Sounding like thy art is murder.

  67. P.... L....

    Slam kings 🔨🔪🔨🔪🔨🔪🔨🔪🔨🔪

  68. k.... b....

    So fucking awesome \m/

  69. G.... I....

    Fuck yes.

  70. c.... i....

    Que esta bueno el tema culiao

  71. S.... ....

    its kinda like whoever exported the video didnt max out the bitrate for the audio. Like i sense the mix is big, but its not as clear as the first single

  72. j.... g....

    It's a good song on a good album 😁

  73. J.... S....

    "You guys ain't slam"..... Said it by the Slam Police

  74. M.... R....

    Better off heavy

  75. J.... M....

    So sick!

  76. D.... W....

    Album is so good

  77. L.... M....

    Does anybody know why Jason Evans, the original vocalist in this video, isn’t playing in any of the US concerts on The Level Above Human tour? Some random dude is doing the vocals in the first three destinations.. it’s going to be a real bummer if he can’t play in Colorado tomorrow. Thanks for the heads up everyone.

    L.... M....

    He actually manages like a super nice 4 star restaurant in Manchester believe it or not. So at times he gets tied up

    L.... M....

    Marcus Russell that sounds pretty badass. It’s completely understandable.

    L.... M....

    Luke MacDonald Jason Keyser from origin is about as worthy of a replacement as there can be. He’s a beast.

    L.... M....

    Ya I saw them back early may and I wouldn’t worry, the replacement guy did a superb job. So did the singer that filled in for signs of the swarm. And he ended up being the full time singer recently

    L.... M....

    Jarrod Barnes haha “singer”

  78. d.... l....

    so this is what the kids are into nowadays

    d.... l....

    Scott Heslin

    Oh, he gave you one right back like a big boy and it was a doozy, wasn't it. And you're next move was to call him butthurt...like a douche who wasn't expecting such a nice retort 😂😂.

    d.... l....

    Scott Heslin

    You couldn't tell that was a tranny you were roll playing with when they spun you around and dropped a big sticky load in your red wrinkled little doozy of a boy hole?

    d.... l....

    Ingested has been out for a while now... soo.... the "kids" are jumpin on the band wagon.... which is great cuz that's more $$ in their pocket to melt our ears off XD

    d.... l....

    david leach the fuck are u talking about

    d.... l....

    Yes, we like to screw dead people now...
    What -- like that's supposed to be bad or somethin''?

  79. m.... ....

    That intro kinda sounds like the intro of Rein Of Darkness by Thy Art

    m.... ....

    master1man listen to "Heirless" by Rivers of Nihil, its basically the same riff

    m.... ....

    oh shit. that actually might have been the riff I was thinking of, not Thy Art.

    m.... ....

    master1man Naw I thought of TAIM too.

    m.... ....

    I think the riff sounds like Shadow of Eternal sins - Thy Art

  80. t.... ....

    this makes my penis become the big penis

  81. J.... A....

    I Cum❤

    J.... A....

    Julio A. Deathcoreman98 I would also like to partake in this

  82. W.... W....

    My 75-year-old Amish lady neighbor enjoys this song

    W.... W....

    Wenxing Wang I bet she does

    W.... W....

    Marry her.

    W.... W....

    That's fucking great dude

  83. S.... O....

    While this is my fav song in the album, it's video is absolutely horrible. What irritates me so much is the presence of the crowd: Ingested is one of the most sophisticated, professional bands to date, and humans don't have a place in that world. They have that lovecraftian vibe which I really appreciate, combined with the viewpoint of a rejected, psychophatic child. Note that I don't wish anything bad about our kind, nor am I a psychopath, I just respect art for what it is :)

    S.... O....

    Then that's your own interpretation of their lyrics and music. Don't think they would describe themselves as "one of the most sophisticated or professional bands to date". Sure, they're pretty good, but they're not a collection of virtuosist musical geniuses.

    S.... O....

    Beethoven van Gogh Yeah, sry, should have pointed out that it's only my opinion. It's just that they fill a gap in my life in a myterious way that nothing else could (I still think they should've incorporated red mantels)

    S.... O....

    Wouldn't really use the term "sophisticated" but I can see how the lyrics have the "poor fucking me", pitiful school shooter tinge to em.

    S.... O....

    I love ingested but sophisticated isn’t what comes to mind

    S.... O....

    i didn’t figure you where a psychopath i figured you where 15

  84. C.... G....

    ¿Alguien de México?

    C.... G....

    Cristian González quien dijo que

  85. h.... ....

    SEEING THEM TONIGHT WICHITA FUCKING KANSAS

  86. Z.... 9....

    I got confused for a second when i read album in the description

  87. S.... S....

    its like their first album surpassing but on steroids

    S.... S....

    SINISTER MOB surpassing is a Gem !

    S.... S....

    Godless Times yes it is! But to many it's considered "cookie cutter" slam

    S.... S....

    Old shit is like this shit on steroids

    S.... S....

    SINISTER MOB Well Tbh ... I really don’t care about what other people think ! Lol 🤘🏽

    S.... S....

    They both have their own special place for me. The level above human is my personal album of the year whereas Surpassing is easily an instant classic.

  88. R.... E....

    Love it!

  89. R.... c....
