Monuments - Garden Of Sankhara Lyrics






Hey...

And there is death in the air everywhere (all around me)
Through the night I won't make it anymore (no)
But I forget that I couldn't make all the same bad mistakes
Like the ways of the ancients, everything has to change
I would do anything to remove and erase
Just denial face to face
Who wouldn't take my place?

Hey, are you the Garden of Sankhara?
Hey, are you the sound of time?
You know the mess that awaited me
Or did I see you there?
A better soul that you made of me?
Yeah, they're dancing on your fucking death

I'm moving to a place that I can reshape
These god damned vines
(I know on your own you will fall)
I'm moving to a place that I can't escape
I hope they let me stay alive
(I know on your own you will fall)

But I forget that I couldn't make all the same bad mistakes
Like the ways of the ancients everything has to change
I would do anything to remove and escape
Just denial face to face
Who would you dare to bring back to me?

Who's in the mirror that I'm near to see in between
The misty state of this waking dream
And standing at the fall
Reflection lead the way
Reflection lead the way

Hey, are you the Garden of Sankhara?
Hey, are you the sound of time?
Destiny, a hollow ghast that a patient sees
Or are you really there?
Hey, are you the sound of life?

You know the mess that awaited me
Or did I see you there?
A better soul that you made of me?
They're dancing on your fucking death

  1. P.... S....

    Too much groove!

  2. B.... ....

    0:01 when you see someone drop their wallet and try to get their attention.

    B.... ....

    5 months and 1 like......u are more lonely than u are funny.

  3. W.... C....

    This is real?

  4. M.... -....

    The S part of the logo reminds me of another band hahaha but, damn! This guys are legendary \m/

  5. S.... G....

    THANK YOU YOUTUBE!

  6. A.... P....

    great quality music and voice

  7. t.... ....

    3:52 WHOOOO!!!

  8. f.... ....

    THAT CHORUS THOUGH.

  9. d.... ....

    They want to be Periphery so bad 😂

    d.... ....

    You must not listen to any Periphery. I've listened to every Periphery album, and I can tell you, one of the amanuensis sounds anything like them.

    d.... ....

    Chris baretto used to sing for them boi

    d.... ....

    @Buttstinky He didn't write anything though, he just sang for them lmao

  10. J.... S....

    One of the best well conceived and beautiful melodies in a metal song piece. Excellent. My opinion.

  11. A.... ....

    great stuff

  12. Z.... ....

    666th like. ;) This is sick tho omg I love it

  13. B.... ....

    Garden of skanks

  14. M.... K....

    The intro reminds of Fat Albert

  15. A.... K....

    reminds me of gojira for some odd reason D:

    A.... K....

    Ameer Kader could be because of the harmonics.

  16. L.... K....

    The kick sounds like someone is slapping the shit out of a wet ham

    L.... K....

    +Luke Djentleman other than that, it's great :)

    L.... K....

    +Luke Djentleman I fuckin lol'd

  17. S.... ....

    If Vildhjarta and Periphery had a child , It'd be Monuments, This album really growing on me ! Dope vocalist.

    S.... ....

    I like periphery as much of the next guy, but imo monuments is a better band. Their sound seems more... mature, i think. Add Browne's picking style to that, well... They're awesome. Have to check vildhjarta out tho, not ringing any bells here.

    S.... ....

    My comment was a little premature comparing them to periphery, I was a new monuments listener back then & that was my immediate reaction, and now that im 100% familiar with both albums i think they hold their own really well. Monuments have become one of my favourite bands now, both Gnosis and Amanuensis are absolutely briliant albums no doubt.

  18. F.... M....

    Jesus, John Brown is a master of melodic riffs

  19. E.... D....

    Possibly the best djent genre song of all.
    Monuments are from far in a upper level than another band in this style.

  20. C.... C....

    This song is absolutely epic

  21. L.... R....

    This band is the reason I bought a 7 string guitar.. and got into "Djent" but fuck genres so...

    L.... R....

    I'm right there with you, man. Entirely too much emphasis is put on Genres these days. If I like it, then I like it. If not, then I don't. That's about it.

  22. J.... B....

    no puedo dejar de escucharla!!!

  23. l.... ....

    Epic. And that groove....

  24. M.... F....

    How is the Chorus, "Wait, are you the Garden of Sankhara. Wait, are you the sound of time." All websites say this but try to sing it. There aren't that many syllables in that verse! Someone who owns the CD please tell me if the lyrics are published that way. I don't hear Garden of Sankhara at all.

    M.... F....

    +Matthew Force When he says Sankhara it's incredibly low in the mix, as it sounds like background vocals, and really hard to hear, but he definitely says. Whether it's audible or not might depend on what you listen to music through.

    M.... F....

    Thanks man, I didn't think about different speakers. I feel dumb, I hear it now hahahaha

    Just to lie
    Face to face
    Or would you take my place?
    Are you the Garden of Sankhara?
    Are you the sound of time?
    You know the mess that I made to me
    But then I see you there
    Dancing on your fucking death
    I'm moving to a place where I can to shake these god damned vines
    I'm moving to a place that I can't escape, I hope they let me stay alive
    And I forget that I could make all the same bad mistakes
    Like the ways of the ancients 'cus everything has no age
    I would do anything to remove and escape just to lie face to face
    Oh, would you dare to play
    Back to me?
    Who's in the mirror that you're near to see in a dream?
    A mystic stain on this waking dream
    And standing at the fall
    Reflection leads the way

    LYRICS - pretty close!

    And there is death in the air, everywhere. (all around me)
    Through the night, I won't make it, anymore (No)
    But I forget that I could make all the same bad mistakes
    Like the ways of the ancients, everything has to change
    I would do anything to remove and erase
    Just to lie
    Face to face
    Or would you take my place?

    Wait, are you the Garden of Sankhara?
    Wait, are you the sound of time?

    You know the mess that I made to be .
    And then I see you there
    A bitter soul that you made of me
    and dancing on your fucking death.

    I'm moving to a place that I can to shake these god damned vines (alone on your own you will fall.)
    I'm moving to a place that I can't escape, I hope they let me stay alive (alone on your own I will fall)

    But I forget that I could make all the same bad mistakes,
    like the ways of the ancients, everything has to change.
    I would do anything to remove and escape.
    Just stand now face to face,
    or would you dare to bring back to me.

    Who's in the mirror that im meant to see in between
    the mystic stain on this waking dream.
    And standing at the fall
    reflection leads the way,
    reflection leads away.

    Wait, are you the Garden of Sankhara?
    Wait, are you the sound of time?
    Just give me a hollow guess that'll ??
    Or are you really there?
    Wait, are you the sound of time?

    You know the mess that I made to be .
    And then I see you there
    A bitter soul that you made of me
    and dancing on your fucking death.

    V.... ....

    @Anomaly Thank you for this. :)

  29. L.... ....

    Chris is metal's Michael Jackson. 

    L.... ....

    ive heard browne saying hes a huge mj fan

    L.... ....

    that's just ignorant

    L.... ....

    sonic slaughter actually, by definition, if what in previous comments is true, its the opposite. use the right terminology bub or gal

    L.... ....

    As a clean male vocalist, if you don't look to MJ as inspiration, you're probably trash. LoL jk... but not really.

    L.... ....

    Wow, precisely!

  30. E.... S....

    So you guys have the best singer ever and don't release lyrics, ok

    E.... S....

    Eduardo Salazahar these lyrics in description

  31. A.... S....

    first time listening to this band, i fell of my chair, i am chocked, i dont know what to think, is this djent

    A.... S....

    @JacksonKdrums  Let the anger flow through you. :>

    djent = genre

    dj0nt 0n, bruh. 

    A.... S....

    +JacksonKdrums genres in general are stupid

    A.... S....

    +JacksonKdrums I always thought its all Progressive metal as well. Rather the Seven string guitar just has the signature "djent" sound.

    A.... S....

    +Skyliines yes because ariana grande and death are the same kind of music.

    A.... S....

    is this djent? well, at it finest..

  32. L.... R....

    I love this damn song. 

  33. S.... ....

    Love this track! awesome album, happy to have found this band :D
    Has anyone taken the effort to write down the lyrics?

    S.... ....

    I actually spoke to Chris Barretto himself, and he said that he was mad busy, but he hopes that he will be able to release the lyrics for the album soon. 

    S.... ....

    Mad busy=jerking off, release is forthcoming...

    S.... ....

    @Y.I. Oughta Totally posted them for you guys!

  34. D.... W....

    D.... W....

    D.... W....

    @JD Artistry Totally posted almost all of them above this comment, also, for most of the songs on youtube

  38. b.... ....

    Those melodic grooves man..

    b.... ....

    @Nafets6606 I saw them last night, it was pretty incredible. The vocalist played all of the vocal parts with an alto sax. Mad respect for the playing in this band.

    b.... ....

    @Cave Bum My buddies saw them this past Sunday and he did the same lol. Still would've been fucking awesome even that way.

    b.... ....

    @Cave Bum
    You were there too? Hahaha that's awesome it was so cool!

    b.... ....

    @Cave Bum That's what's up dude, figures the one time they come and tour in the US they aren't anywhere close to my area 

    b.... ....

    Do you have any band you like that you would simply fly to any place in the US if they are touring?
