Protest The Hero - Animal Bones Lyrics
Why do you torture me so?
You sit across the table with both eyes closed.
You speak in myth and fable, and stand unopposed.
The animal bones reveal themselves from deep within your mane.
They reach for ethereal light.
marking the first time it was done right.
And that’s not all that haunts me - the death by fire of a child
who waits so patiently. And we are the ones
who set the standard by which we are to be measured.
Measured, measured!
Some things can never walk again cause sometimes a step is all too vile.
The path of five innocent men who are only capable of walking one last mile.
If I could live another day over again, I’d choose not to.
The horizon promises days ahead.
If you won’t quit, then I won’t.
And this I swear to you tonight
upon these former embers
you fanned until they were fire.
We are nothing without the thousands of voices that make the choir.
Nothing without the thousands of voices that make the choir.
We are, we are, we are still life.
(We are, we are, we are still life)
We are, we are, we are... still life
Begging and pleading, not dying, but bleeding out. (Still life, still life)
Begging and pleading, not dying, but bleeding out. (Still life, still life)
Oh, the chemical reaction, the chemical.
Oh, the chemical reaction.
When the walls fell, with arms wide.

Animal Bones, more like, Animal Boned

LOVE THIS FUCKING SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The lyrics in this song are amazing!
rodys best sounding year
The outro. Goddamn.
I don't think this is *as* blisteringly hard as the other songs on Volition (although by most human standards it's still pretty hectic), which is convenient as it's definitely in my top 3 songs on the album (along with Drumhead Trial and Without Prejudice... or maybe Skies, so hard to choose!)
minute 3:43 : tthe most technical, progressive and mathcoremical experience :P
Loving the vocals referring to the older stuff.
one of my favourite protest songs , to damn good for words
- fan from the start
IF YOU CAME HERE TO HEADBANG REALLY HARD, PRESS THESE NUMBERS 3:57
My goodness, those riffs...
Too many big riffs in this one.
I was listening to this while studying chemistry and then started the part at 3:10 "Ooooh the chemical reactions!" lol
also, "this i swear to you" is a calculated reference as well, around 2:10ish
the kezia reference, i think, is "walking one last mile" around 1:20ish...
I think the "death by fire of a child" part may be a reference to the concept of Kezia too.
Animal Boner
from 2:25 starts one of the best moments of the whole album. Incredible
Best song on the album right here
best vocals by Rody evah.
and this i swear to you tonite :)
sequoia throne much? xD
there's clear reference to fortress and kezia in the lyrics.
