Volumes - The Columbian Faction Lyrics

One of my favorite songs from this album. RIP Diego 🙏

Rest In Peace, Diego! ❤️

I am the most unhappy man
I have unwittingly ruined my country
A great industrial nation is now destroyed by its system of credit
We're slowly shattering, silhouettes of a glass society
From the depths of you shed, the diamond
From Wilshire to Grand Central, buildings will crumble, crumble, structures to piles
You tell me this jury, is this dollar loaned to me
Labeled the catalyst, the X amount, and it is recycled back to me, recycled back to me
Live for this vivid vision. A vision I see
A vision for you. x2
From my window I could see exploding lights underneath the veil over the speedway
Guilt for it. I punch right through the skies; distilled, pulling the clouds
I see you in a million dimensions, now you are finally found

I wrote all night long
We always did exactly what we were told
They never wanted us to know
I wrote all night long
A vision of a place that we call home
About a lifetime that we once knew
They never wanted us to know
The age of innocence
A vision of a place that we call home
The story of the oversaw, oversaw

Your loyalty means nothing to me
Expect to be stopped, not to be fucked
We try to break the boundaries
My mind is numb, entire cities washed away
This microchip, a new prediction to a contrary, oh!

.75x speed for extreme get down holy fuck

That ending is just so damn groovyyyy!

Man this album is so simple but so beautifully brutal

Way better than the new shit man

Great song to smoke a blunt to tho man 😍😂💯

Whoever says those cleans don't fit is delusional. So otherworldy

2:20 makes me feel so connected to the world

this is way better than the new shit

Periphery is back! Wait, wrong song

This sounds like it can be in mortal kombat! Lol

This is a wholesome comment and I applaud you.

Man this is Volumes to me

Dameon Wise yeh that new album was complete trash next to this.

Bro the last two albums were trash tbh they need Micheal Barr back

Fuck what noise.

I love this song, but it always bothered me that they would never sing the clean part live. I think it’s the best part of the song.

exaclty

It’s because they are done by their old guitarist and good friend DJ Shwartz. He can also drum like a mother fucker

Gostei dessa música ❤❤❤❤😫

the last 45 seconds or so. Sickest outro. Ok, so the last lyric has been sung...and just when you think the song has passed it's prime..BOOM BABY!! THAT melody along with the djent. i lose my shit when the certain note gets held extra. so fucking good 👍🏻👏🏻👍🏻👏🏻👍🏻

Love this!

This song has THE BEST breakdown in the history of metal. FACT

listen to recreant by chelsea grin,and youll admit your wrong.

@Taylor Warren ive heard recreant live, still not better.

First time I heard this I was like what the fuck did I just listen to, but now I love this so much and now know what I was missing out on

That intro is badass.

never knew volumes was enlightened about our corrupt federal reserve

mickey the hippie they got ripped off by their label back in the day

Behind the curtain is about the president

I AAAAAAM
THE MOST UNHAAAAPY MAAAAN
I HAVE UNWITTINGLY RUIINED, MY COOOUNTRY

So fucking good

Why isn't this on spotify?

wow thats some great news! looking foward to listen to this album again everyday at my phone, thanks

layon99 yeah! No problem mate. it's on there now btw!

cuz spotify is gay as fuck there are plenty of other music services that have it.

It’s on now

It’s on amazon prime music as well

No one's gonna comment on that insane 3:09 part? ...okay.

Sure, its insane dude!

It's the beginning of the best part..that EPIC of a fucking outro. so beefy

YOU TELL ME THIS JURY
THIS DOLLAR LOANED TO ME

Badass intro.

I am a most unhappy man. I have
unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial
nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our
system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the
nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the
hands of a few men. We have come to be one of
the worst ruled, one of the most completely
controlled and dominated Governments in the
civilized world no longer a Government by free
opinion, no longer a Government by conviction
and the vote of majority, but a Government by the
opinion and the duress of a small group of
dominant men.” Woodrow Wilson

So hard to choose between this and Edge of the Earth for best songs on the album.

+UglyStru It's all too good.

+Hippyshit21 intake all the way up.

So very tru

we're slowly shattering silhouettes of a glass society...

Omfg these cleans

The cleans in this are fucking awesome all my favorite songs by them seem to have cleans besides intake

Pow Muito Da Hora Essa Banda Curti mesmo ! Show de bola Obrigado por apresentar o som Amigo Thronn !

Not a huge fan of Volumes, but man do I adore this song.

@Frozen Plastic Knife Nice!

Luka Volumes is life and you’re gay

@Luka lmao

I can't believe I just got into these guys............easily one of my favorites now. These guys put so much heart in their songs! The outro is so fucking perfect.

1:38 - 3:05 is pure perfection

Yeah i like it like that!

azzler89 3:05 starts the best part tho

the lead guitar parts on this album made me a Volumes fan

@Derp shredding,are you fucking stupid,they only have one song on this album that has a shreddy solo,their a djent deathcore band not a technical shred djent band,so its beyond me how you got shredding mixed up with djent which is somthing they mostly do

@Taylor Warren did you really just call Volumes deathcore? Smh... plz research and know the bands... they are an American "metalcore" prog band... where the hell did you get deathcore... they slapping that snare drum 50 times in a minute??? No... thx and srry lol

So does anyone know who does the clean vocals on this track or not?...... I still have yet to find out.

+JimboSlice it was just for tour

+JimboSlice hance only did it live when they toured together

Easy way I can explain this, go watch the Wormholes music video, look for the dude playing guitar with red hair and glasses thats thing singer on this and columbian faction, back when they had full line up, I saw someone post him on their IG and someone said "that fool wrote all night long" (columbian faction)

The Woe is me vocalist has never recorded anything with this band, ever.. He sang the song live one night with the band, that's it. As others have said their old guitarist did the cleans on the first album

+Slade Wilson that's definitely incorrect

I already thought the name of the song was brutal enough like wtf

The Columbian Faction....outro even justifies it

Do you know what the title means?

+Corey Boebel inform us dude? :)

+jimbob jones this song is about the plan for america and how it was destroyed by the bankers and a system of credit. the columbian faction is illuminati shit. look it up

@Katze Marietta Nice one I'll check it out. Being a British citizen I haven't really heard much about the Columbian Faction but have always been curious! Has been one of my fave songs for ages and always good to learn new shit ! :)

Volumes/ERRA should totally tour together!!!

My two favorite bands! :D

Electroventure Volumes/Erra/In Hearts Wake/Sylar

Voulmes/Old Northlane/Novelists would be amazinggggggggggg.

Dat ending...one of my favorite moments of this album.

Joshh Rowsell Intake Outro

This song reminds me ERRA - Seven

Fuck, now that you mention it I hear the similarities and now I can't unhear them.

Both songs kick ass though as well as both bands kicking ass.

I love this song... I seen it live and Volumes is in my blood forever..

Is this played in drop A?

it's all good

Drop A flat or G sharp, whichever you prefer to call it.

Jesseb O'Donnell calm down.................

WutangBizkit if I were any calmer I'd be dead

Yes Drop A !

Best outro. ever.

Daniel Stallworthy amen brother

I don't get why people hate on the Chelsea grin ep, I thought it was better than the albums...

Wrong video? The EP was good.

Their newest song they came out with Angels Shall Sin, Demons Shall Pray is amazing. I never really cared for them before that though.

Probably because people keep bringing it up on videos of other bands and they're tired of hearing about them.

@Josh Varga +1 to that 

I was so hoping they would play this the other day in Pomona

Clean vocalist???

it's their old guitar player that left, that's why they don't sing em live.

micheal when theyre live

More like the crowd when they play live :p

That outro...

I suck all kinds of black cock to this.

I would really like to know what inspired them to write this song.

tell me about it. same with wormholes and aff...affere...god i dont even know the fucking name.... FUCK!

@Bobbie Charters i got the name ...affirmation of ascesion

Illuminati. The American branch or 'The Columbian Faction'. Look up the NWO agenda, etc. This song is exactly written about that.

@Cory Cruz hahaha you like beyonce bro?

The first half is a speech Woodrow Wilson gave after he realized how fucking retarded he was for signing over the federal reserve to be privately owned by the Rothschild family banks. Now America is a fat ass'd oligarchy, and Volumes knows tha fuq is up 

Does VIA stand for Volumes In Action?  =)

@2:20

those cleans get me every time!!!!!

Such an amazing song, and with meaningful lyrics.

Paid in full ;)

Fans of this look up... "Emerald Eyes - The Ep"

I don't know why, but I love the melody and the rhythmic guitar at 1:51 to 2:20, sounds sooooo good. This song is great live.

Limitless :3

well there is their new one, Vahle

Do you have any idea on which songs you hear the singing? I already know about two of their songs with it, this one obviously and 'Edge of The Earth'. ;-;

SMOK HAIL METH SATAN

You actually make sense. I understand completely, though I would enjoy it in more.

nice band, wasn't a fan of djent but it seems like Volumes are really good! :D

Volumes has amazing, deep, sentimental lyrics along with heavy, groovy, djent guitar work, perfect

Because that was totally necessary?

nice band :d wasn't a fan of djent but it seems like volumes are really good :D Can you not fucking think for yourself to realize that? His spelling may suck ass but it's not rocket science.

"nice band :d wasn't a fan of djent but it seems that Volumes is really good :D"

Incredible singing.. I don't see why they don't have it in most of their songs.

I FUCKIN LOVE VOLUMES SUCH A BADASS BAND :)

Why was he unhappy then?

Why doesnt this song say Feat JORDAN BERRY?????

Dat chorus. Mmmm.

Intraces, pretty awesome check it out

Skies of Iris: Pretty much a spot on sound like these guys.

This sounds nothing like Vildhjarta...or periphery

woodrow faggotson.

i'm in love with this song <3

Only 6 dislike and this is like 2 years old. That's great :)

I would give that comment a 2/10, would not bang.
they are both prog. metalcore.
but, thank you for trying, dude.

I, The Breather is nothing like this band, dude.

similar bands to Volumes would include:
Adaliah, Altars, Aristeia, Auras, Barrier, Bermuda, Ceruleus, Elegist, Elitist, Entities, Fractals, Frontlines, Heart of a Coward, I the Breather, Leagues, Legend, Lifeforms, Northlane, Paragon, Reflections, Rooks, Structures, Subtract, Summits, Tempest, Veil of Maya, Verbera, Villains, Walking with Strangers and Wolves.

TesseracT are good too.

"I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men." -Woodrow Wilson, after signing the Federal Reserve into existence

Also throw in there Erra, they're really similar to Volumes except less heavy and more fast paced.

Reflections

Easy, meow

I guess no one can see sarcasm these days..

I know.

Dude, those are nothing compared to this...

Woe is me, Issues, Capture the Crown, Fit for a King, I See Stars. You know the good shit. Like so good, that I shit.

This is true. The government, banks and corporations are what is fucking up the world.

3:05 feel the Djent...

true, but what about the Builderberg Group they exist

Their former guitarist Daniel.

who did cleans
