Memphis May Fire - The Commanded Lyrics






I felt the ground start to shake.
Oh God, oh God,
Everything's up in flames.
I prayed that it would have ended
Just as fast, just as fast as it came.

All I could hear was:
"March on, march on.
Quick on your feet,
March on, march on.
March on, march on.
Whether you like or not,
March on, march on!"

Finish what you started.
Just remember you can't bring them back,
Just remember you can't bring them back.

Heads will roll, bullets will fly.
We've all been turned into blood thirsty cannibals.
Just don't close your eyes!
Just don't close your eyes,
Sleep with one open!

Everything's put into perspective
When you're staring down
The barrel of a gun.
I've come to peace with the fact
That I can't take it back,
What's done is done!

But the bodies still haunt my dreams,
Oh, the bodies still haunt my dreams.
The bodies still haunt my dreams
And they always will!

March on, march on.
March on, march on.
Quick on your feet!

Finish what you started.
Just remember you can't bring them back,
Just remember you can't bring them back.
Finish what you started.
Just remember you can't bring them back,
(Just remember)
Just remember you can't bring them back.

How many of them will be forgotten,
Laying a part of the ashes?
No words can describe the guilt,
But I had no choice!

We were surrounded,
No words can describe.
We were surrounded,
I had no choice.
Words can't describe
The guilt that I felt,
But I had no choice.

Finish what you started.
Just remember You can't bring them back,
(Just remember)
Just remember You can't bring them back.
Finish what you started.
Just remember You can't bring them back,
(Just remember)
Just remember You can't bring them back.

How many of them will be forgotten,
Laying among of the ashes?

    I miss this Memphis May Fire :((( I liked this album better. Challenger was okay. The new one is sooo bad. 

    D.... ....

    I have to agree, mainly because I don't like the instrumentals in any of their songs

    D.... ....

    What about their between the lies ep?

    D.... ....

    Egh. Their screamer at the time wasn't Matty. He was pretty mediocre 

    D.... ....

    @DanFaceless The screamer was Matty, you're thinking of their first ep

    D.... ....

    Ohhhh I didnt know they had another sorry 

  30. M.... C....

  45. K.... K....

  46. J.... ....

  47. H.... C....

    just realized that all the songs tittles start with "the"

  48. K.... Y....

    I've not listened to Memphis May Fire that much and I came across this and HOLY FUCK I'VE HAD THIS ON REPEAT FOR THE LAST HOUR. IT'S SO AMAZING OMG

  49. R.... ....

    This song always reminds me of '28 weeks later'. Am I alone here?

  52. J.... W....

    Someone will look for a ass beating for who dislike MMF.

  53. J.... C....

    @rifleman1939 And still, some people can't take a fucking joke.

  54. r.... ....

    your not Chuck Norris, im sure he has better thing to do like snort coke than comment on youtube videos and post anime pictures

  55. r.... ....

    No, the 10 dislikes are the people who didn't enjoy listening to this song

  56. j.... ....

    Matty and Kellin are best friends! :D so that just makes it ten times better!

  57. b.... d....

    this song means everything to me!

  58. J.... G....

    heard of Of Mice & Men? :3

    J.... G....

    Jack Gough good Lord, yessss

    J.... G....

    Over rated... Same with the movie

  59. r.... ....

    @StellarD98 legit.

  60. I.... ....

    The Abandoned talks about a good friend of matty mullins and how his friends father "abandoned" him as a boy.

  61. S.... ....

    Memphis May Fire and Sleeping With Sirens r tied for my favorite band!<3 :D amazing as fuck!!!!!

  62. A.... ....

    I dont believe he was. From what ive heard, each song on this album was meant to be from one of his friends perspective, Like a story from his friends that he turned into songs. The Reality is more of his own story or perspective if that makes sense.

  63. A.... S....

    Was he in the army?

  64. m.... ....

    Im pretty sure it's not...

  65. m.... k....

    Pretty sure this song is about mass effect 2..

  66. t.... y....

    It's because these are all stories.
    The Hollow is a retelling of his life, in a sense.

  67. d.... ....

    Look at their new album. I'm disappointed already

  68. T.... M....

    Is there one song where the title doesn't have the word "the" in it xD?

  69. C.... R....

    can i like this a million times????? so true!

  70. K.... M....

    So good!

  71. B.... ....

    HEADS WILL ROLL!!!!!!!!

  72. t.... ....

    Semper Fi devil dog

  73. R.... ....

    March on! March on!

  74. C.... E....

    Just remember you can't bring them back

  75. i.... ....

    Was any of the members of MMF in the army?

  76. S.... B....

    Heads will roll!

  77. 0.... ....

    Thank you for your service to our nation.

  78. i.... ....

    the ending breakdown is fucking awesome

  79. L.... F....

    looks like i need 8 condoms and aa time machine

  80. J.... C....

    This song pretty much describe what I had experienced and what I had to go through in Afghanistan when I was in the Marines..

  81. S.... ....

    how did you get that mad original username?

  82. 4.... ....

    LMAOOOO, That was actually kinda good! :DDD

  83. T.... ....

    The 8 dislikes are people who got knocked out in a mosh pit.

  84. T.... ....

    0:52 o.o

  85. A.... S....

    MARCH ON, MARCH ON, QUICK ON YOUR FEET!

  86. L.... ....

    I FELT THE GROUND START TO SHAKE.........when MMF came out on stage at Warped.

  87. M.... T....

    all of their music is beautiful

  88. D.... ....

    this album isn't bad but... a little generic. All songs sounds like the same.

  89. I.... F....

    March On!

  90. M.... k....

    goose bumps through the hole song. i love MMF <3

  91. D.... M....

    These guys are pretty good, I'm digging the breakdowns and instrumentals.

  92. c.... ....

    this album reminds me of this one time i had an orgasm

  93. s.... ....

    awww.... thats fucked up man really fucked up

  94. E.... S....

    .....so whos ready for warped tour?

  95. D.... H....
