Protest The Hero - A Plateful Of Our Dead Lyrics

ladies and gentlemen, I have a new favourite song

Welcome aboard, friend. This album will always be top notch. This was my favorite.

Nunca nos pidas que definamos nuestra moral 
Don't ever ask us to define our morals 

A veces, cuando los fundamentos se encuentran con la angustia adolescente 
Sometimes when fundamentals meet teenage heartbreak 

Algunos de nosotros somos todos nosotros; 
Some of us are all of us;

Medio-ser que aman esperanzas enteras 
half-selves that love whole hopes 

Y hara-kiri desamor.
And hara-kiri heartbreak

No hay nada peor que nunca ser real. 
There's almost nothing worse than never being real 

Voces tensas llorando lobo cuando nadie puede oír. 
Strained voices crying wolf when nobody can hear 

Si tuviera un arma, bombearía tu ética llena de plomo. 
If I had a gun I'd pump your ethics full of lead 

Si creyera en la carne me comería un plato de nuestros muertos.
If I believed in meat I'd eat a plateful of our dead

Hay mérito en la construcción cuando se hace con tus propias manos. 
There's merit in construction when it's done with your own hands 

Hay belleza en la destrucción, la resurrección, otra oportunidad. 
There's beauty in destruction, resurrection, another chance

Hay un tú y yo en unión, pero solo un yo en mis creencias. 
There's a you and I in union but just an I in my beliefs 

Hay un avión estrellándose con una pancarta que lee la lengua de todos.
There's a crashing plane with a banner that reads everyone's na?ve

La única prueba que tengo de que disparamos y matamos a este caballo. 
The only proof that I have that we shot and killed this horse 

Son los sonidos de látigos en la carne y un remordimiento del corazón sangrante. 
Is the sounds of whips on flesh and a bleeding heart remorse 

Cuando estoy en este estado de reflexión y me das látigos
When I'm In this state of reflection and you hand me whips

Y dos por cuatro, nunca pude derribarlos y golpear al mismo caballo que antes.
And two by fours I could never bring them down and beat the same horse as before

Prefiero matar a una estúpida flor y esparcir sus semillas. 
I'd rather kill a stupid flower and spread its seeds 

Hasta un jardín con nuestra moral cargada de balas se encontrará.
Until a garden with our bullet-laden morals will be found

I’d rather kill a stupid flower and spread its seeds around

Um dos melhores álbuns que já ouvi na minha vida, insano.

Four people didn't believe in meat.

The outro reminds me of Killswitch Engage

didnt they write this song when they were all 17 or 18 and each member wrote their own part of a song and when they put it together they got this? which is why it changes so often? lol

It’s prog rock. It’s supposed to change constantly

1:00 to 1:20 makes me jizz everytime

0:31 tuca-tuca-tuca-tuca-tuca-tuca!

3:11 ♥

Frq - best acoustic outro

I feel like there should have been another chanting verse, to parallel the one at 1:15. Awesome song

This is seriously one of their best... its invigorating

the outro is so beautiful

Sux Arif won't be on the north america tour. More leaves, Arif skips tour dates... I hope its not the end

1:02
That breakdown is like pizza, you just can't not like it. Well you can, but come on man.

He specifically said he likes to be grammatically correct, yet failed at being grammatically correct in the same sentence. Someone had to point out the fail, this is the internet for fuck's sake.

I can't believe moe is gone.

this is a great end

In case it interests anyone, I just uploaded an orchestral version of this song :D

If I believed in meat I'd eat a plateful of our dead~~

the ending part, is fantastic! mandolin! <3

Fuck no

Parkway drive? Gtfo

9gagers
9gagers everywhere

The acoustic part of this at the end is insanely beautiful, i like how this kind of music was written by chill, weed-smoking young adults XD

God these lyrics are so amazing. "There's a U and I in union, but just an I in my beliefs". These are lyrics to actually live by. This is why I love Protest the Hero so much. and because they're insanely talented.

@KyleTheLamma Language.

....He called flowers stupid? DISLIKE Ahahaha I'm kidding

@Ichig0999 Don't tase me bro

Hahah the tags: black people

DUDE! Thank you so much for posting the lyrics with the song in awesome quality I was gonna go look the lyrics up on google but this is way better, thank you dude.

I've listened to this song about 20 times in the past 2 days... its just that good

@aWildJoelAppeared She's my mistress, my maiden and my bitch- just as I am her's.

@skilletREDfan I just found the irony of the situation quite hilarious

this album is great just as an album. yes it would be a great book too. it would be great as anything u can make it into cuz its just that great 2 start with! movie? great. tv series? great. fuck i would even pay to see it on broadway as a musical!!

@nitewalker1111 not so much... this is more like an epic novel whereas the bible is just a flimsy little fairy tale.

@frosteez11 Dude this is a book, it's called the bible.

@nitewalker1111 Not everyone likes to capitalize. This is the Internet for fuck sakes.

@frosteez11

The story is tells is poetically amazing. <3

queen + parkway drive + shakespeare + porn = protest the hero

epic uploader comments above

@aWildJoelAppeared The girl that the entire album is about.

Love the fuken drums! *EPIC*

@frosteez11 I KNOW! someone should seriously write this. Alright, someone mail to PTH that everyone wants them to find a writer to make this into a book... and then into a movie... and by everyone i mean everyone- even Chinese people who cant speak English

@nitewalker1111
the touche is strong in this one...

@fLKommotioN And yet you left I uncapitalized...

@psp110 do you mean the gang vocals from 0:55?

@frosteez11 Kezia is a person from the bible...the most read book anywhere

0:38 sounds like 'meet teenage jetpacks'.

hell yeah no dislikes

@JHuntProductions so many blackfaces.

@frosteez11 lol, I've totaly had this thought like am million times. If I had the talent I would do it myself haha. Also a really good movie. A really dark movie but a good one.

There's merit in construction when it's done with your own hands
There's beauty in destruction, resurrection, another chance
There's a you and I in union but just an I in my beliefs
There's a crashing plane with a banner that reads everyone's naïve

sweetest lyrics ever

Best part is : "bring them down, bring them down, bring them down"
Made me really laugh, when I heard it the first time^^

@blakipino23

i would, but i like to be grammatically correct. hahaha

if i had a gun, id pump your ethics full of lead! :) fking epic

@frosteez11 yes, but reading is no fun compared to rocking out to this eargasmic epicness! :D

@Brian0mac

@juggalopenguin1134 what what

IF I HAD A GUN I"D PUMP YOR ETHICS FULL OF LEAD.Haha love these guys!

dude, who?

i love you you are the coolest he/she i want to meet

last two times i tried to upload both Divine Suicide of K and this they got copyrighted and audio removed. they're letting audio stay this time despite copyright claims, just advertising on my videos. completely fine by me. very little importance in the actual video, so put shit there by all means. :)

i'm also about to upload that again. so..
