Wage War - Deadlocked Lyrics






There's no turning back
Everything has built up all around me
My problems, my addictions, complications rule all my decisions
It's a slippery slope leading to my end
Show me the way out
Get my grip again

These afflictions wage a war inside me
Can I find direction? No

In such pain, we are desperate for solutions
Where is the door that leads to redemption?
Everything is dark
Will I ever find my way out?

These afflictions wage a war inside me
Can I be forgiven?

You take what others have worked for
You're all that I'm not
You are the burden of many
We're deadlocked
This is for all those who struggle
For all those who can't
Don't let your troubles define you
Be the better man

I'm held down by the weight of my selfish mistakes
Buried under miles of guilt (miles of guilt)
You are the parasite, and now you've sunk your teeth
You are abomination

I have watched myself change from the inside out
Becoming what I swore I'd never be (swore I'd never be)
There's got to be more to this
There's got to be more to this

You take what others have worked for
You're all that I'm not
You are the burden of many
We're deadlocked
This is for all those who struggle
For all those who can't
Don't let your troubles define you
Be the better man

Be the better man
Where do we go from here?
Down this lonely road
I've never felt so scared, out here on my own

There's no turning back
I have left my old self behind
The damned are upon me but I won't be the victim
God, will you wash the blood from these hands
I'll change my ways, I'll be the better man

    To know that I knew all these guys back before they were big.. that I went to their first real show as empires, back when they were called Empires.. back when they had a different drummer.. now they are fucking huge and still growing. All of these guys are from Ocala my home town. Insane. Keep it up fellas.

  5. P.... P....

    Could I get captions or at least what your saying

  6. D.... G....

    My coworkers got scared of my ringtone (this song) yesterday. Thanks, Wage War! :)

  7. W.... ....

    the only bad thing here is that the song is over way to fast

  8. M.... B....

    1:56 gave my ass an erection.

  9. M.... ....

    One of the best breakdowns....you are ABOMINATION!!

  10. J.... ....

  11. M.... B....

    Perfect song for a boss fight.

  12. j.... ....

    thats a top 5 breakdown of all time and even better live

  13. L.... W....

    This breakdown is freaking LEGENDARY!! (1:50)

    L.... W....

    Lige Williams You are abomination!! Favorite part.

    L.... W....

    Red Raven Gaming I know, right?! :-D Heavy and epic as heck!! 🌟💯🌟

    L.... W....

    Lige Williams How old are you? You remind me of me when I was a teen. Black kid into music like this. Dope.

  14. c.... g....

    YOU ARE ABOMINATION!!!

  15. c.... s....

    Not hating -- but these guys sound like 2009. Albeit, a good 2009, but the guitarwork, the vocals, its all throwback.

    c.... s....

    cody schaffer its what we need. And its working.

  16. S.... G....

    they are INSANE live!! the reason I love them. got so fucking lost in their music without even hearing them before hand. the energy in the room was NUTS. ♡♡ 🤘

  17. t.... ....

    One of the best fucking bands!!! I love them :)

  18. J.... N....

    I just discovered this band today.. and wow. I've been looking for new music, The Amity Affliction and Beartooth are my two favorite bands. I was trying to find music like theirs, and Nothing caught my ears until I listened to the song "Twenty One" from this band. Now I will go buy this album.

    J.... N....

    Jina Nicole Omg same! but my all time favorite band is I Prevail. I've too been trying to find music similar to them and Once I heard "Twenty one". I was just blown away by this band.

    J.... N....

    This is all cool and all, but Wage War is very different from TAA, Beartooth, and I Prevail. All 3 of those bands are on the softer side of metalcore(which isn't a bad thing, I love all 3 of them as well), and Wage War is definitely on the heavier side of the genre. Soooo idk what you talking about Wage War being similar to those bands, buuut at least you listen to them now cuz they really are awesome!

  19. B.... ....

    when you rage in cod

  20. U.... ....

    FUCK YEA!!!! THIS IS AWESOME!!!

  21. V.... B....

    just discovered this band and I LOVE ALL THEIR LYRICS. God is pure magnificence. giving us Metalcore that can change lives. FFAK is just as amazing btw. forever grateful

  22. T.... M....

    Looooveeee this!!!!!!

  23. M.... T....

    GREAT FEEL OF RELEASED VIBRATIONS...

  24. J.... S....

    This band and Affiance, my top 2 favorite bands. The only 2 bands I can honestly say are perfect 100% across the board. Everyone else that is phenomenal lack something at some point for me, but not these 2 in the industry.

    J.... S....

    Jerad Scharrer I'm a huge Affiance fan too!

  25. H.... ....

    alucinante las canciones de esta banda🤘🤘🤘🤘

  26. T.... A....

    Now don't you wanna just punch your your granny in the fuckin teeth

  27. P.... R....

    Watch my drum cover ^

  28. V.... ....

    is it Cameron Mizell singing at the end?

  29. D.... S....

    This band needs to be known by everyone.

    D.... S....

    They are good, also live saw the videos of warped tour.

    D.... S....

    I know.

  30. C.... D....

    "Don't let your troubles define you,/be the better man/
    Be the better man,/be the better man/
    Be the better man,/be the better man/
    Where do we go from here?/
    Down this lonely road?/
    I've never felt so scared/
    Out here on my own."

  31. A.... M....

    I'm 100% sure that the riff from 0:33 was inspired from The Ghost Inside's "The great unknown".

    A.... M....

    I miss TGI :(

    A.... M....

    It actually kinda reminds me of a melody that dethklok would use

    A.... M....

    Not to mention TGI is equally amazing 🤘

    A.... M....

    Kyle Rebman don’t worry dude they had their first practice again in years the other week ;)

    A.... M....

    Kind of reminds me of crossfaiths snake code in a way (im aware this is 2 years old lol)

  32. L.... M....

    Holyshit I only just discovered this band and they're incredible

    L.... M....

    They are the lyrics are helping me a trough some struggle right now. I really hope they get big one day:)

    L.... M....

    Philipp Oes Glad this band is helping you man, idk what's wrong, but you'll get through it.

  33. C.... R....

    Alllllll their music is dope! very great musicians, praise God

  34. I.... Y....

    YOU ARE ABOMINATION!!!!!!!

  35. D.... T....

    These guys are about to be crazy live in 4 months

  36. T.... M....

    Love the Breakdown!!!!!

    T.... M....

    which one? lol.

    T.... M....

    After, You are abomination!!!!

  37. C.... S....

    This band is incredibly under rated. They're going to take the scene by storm. Phenomenal live performance and solid songwriting. Absolutely love this album.

    C.... S....

    +Josiah Pierce august burns red an dparkway drive both prove you wrong

    C.... S....

    +Matt Magee I like parkway don't like August at all what your point

    C.... S....

    Saying this is too "hardcore" yet those are bands that do all screaming and they can both sell out an arena if they really want

    C.... S....

    Metalcore is doing a lot better then people really think

    C.... S....

    And now they really are starting to take over! I give it 3 more years before they're kings of metalcore

  38. I.... B....

    Dangg what a perfect song <3

  39. s.... d....

    i have the weirdest boner right now..

    s.... d....

    +taylor maynard still goin...

    s.... d....

    +taylor maynard Glad I'm not the only one

    s.... d....

    +taylor maynard mine makes me sexually confused.. music, women, what do I want!?!?!?

  40. L.... ....

  41. T.... 5....

  42. c.... b....

    c.... b....
