Within The Ruins - Gods Amongst Men Lyrics






They drew first blood
Just like I knew they would
Fearing what they don't understand
We are evolution

They drew first blood
Just like I knew they would
Fearing what they don't understand
We are evolution
We are gods

We were more than friends
That all changed with a spark of insanity
But I dream of a perfect harmony
Gods walking one with humanity
But I ask not for friendship or love
All I demand is fear and blind obedience
Cease your revelry and heed me

Let me in
Let me in

Free your mind
Trust in me
I'll show you what it is to feel complete
Free your mind
Trust in me
I'll show you what it means

They drew first blood
Just like I knew they would
Fearing what they don't understand
We are evolution
We are gods

Oppression is no excuse
For vengeance forgive and forget to live in harmony
Inconceivable your dream is dead
Because they drew first blood
Just like I knew they would

Please let me in

Free your mind
Trust in me
I'll show you what it is to feel complete
Free your mind
Trust in me
I'll show you what it means

I ask not for friendship or love
All I demand is fear and blind obedience
Cease your revelry and heed me
Cease your revelry and heed me

Free your mind
Trust in me
I'll show you what it is to feel complete
Free your mind
Trust in me
I'll show you what it is to feel complete
Free your mind
Trust in me
I'll show you what it is to feel complete
Free your mind
Trust in me
I'll show you what it means

  1. J.... M....

    This song makes me Piss 🔥 fire

  2. D.... S....

    There needs to be a AMV for this with the X men animated series

  3. H.... ....

    Is a 3rd or 4th faction the answer

  4. H.... ....

    I'm not sure about it I have a balanced view but a friend said once that the various gods should approach him and plead their case for some had a crumbling clusterfuck of an incompetent weak empire and another had some insane nonsensical powerful empire but perhaps deals could be made as long as nobody fucks their way into the affairs here for it is clear I would allow anyone to plead their case bust they have chosen not to and they have chosen the same old b.s. that didn't work before

  5. H.... ....

    I'm not sure about it I have. Balanced view but Odin said hitler was some god who didn't support an illuminati faction that wishes for hordes of humanity to become mixed greys so he was kind of aligned with them being a supposed jew and all but perhaps in exchange for whittling the population down he was forced to promote bs like the flat earth and the un map of a flat earth its all politics at a higher level but not that foreign deals are made things are given and taken

  6. H.... ....

    I'm not sure about it I have a balanced view but a friend said he read that the illuminati was really a collection of various groups of gods aka aliens aka advanced gurus aka risen serpents who engage in power struggles with each other and sling mud at each other and even hold territory which is supposedly not there for example some want to grow and mix humanity into some population of grey slaves some want to kill a fuxkton of them off while being nominally aligned with the grey faction despite being an obvious thorn to their supposed allies and to some people they are all insane/incompetent amd worthy of horribles torture no matter what camp they hail from they have all made poor choices at the expense of those who are clearly way better than them and the best ones surprisingly found their calls for alliance ring hollow maybe the lose lose larps of eons are what all these regards will continue to gamble upon and probably be destroyed by rather than play with the clearly rational powerful and winning team they will pretend to be gods while an masse be herded sheep like the sheep they supposedly Sheppard they don't know the truest Christ or the truest god when he visits them not even after 2000 years but they will bow and be destroyed by the true one the true messiah and face the worst torture in history

  7. G.... D....

    Seriously added an advertisement near the end like that? Douchebag

  8. T.... E....

    So deep 🤘💛 golden message

  9. A.... D....

    *F R E E UR M I N D*

    *T R U S T I N M E*

  10. V.... B....

    3:58 the solo, and your welcome!!

  11. T.... ....

    Didn't mention the lyrics at 1:58 ,,get out! Get out of my head!" and I also just realised it after listening this masterpiece dozens of times.
    Btw - does anyone know what the song is really about? I've read some comments but I couldn't figure it out yet.

  12. R.... A....

    play this at my wedding. It's beautiful.

    R.... A....

    Rory Allan SHE DREW FIRST BLOOD JUST LIKE I KNEW THAT PUSSY WOULD

  13. B.... I....

    The Acacia Strain and After The Burial had a baby.

  14. D.... F....

    This is every phlebotomists' favorite song.

  15. T.... T....

    I always imagine a mid evil dragon slayer killing a dragon when I listen to this music.

  16. J.... D....

    _Too Djenty for me, will stick to Periphery_

  17. D.... T....

    This song never fails to get a rise out of me. This is the most powerful and emotive WTR song to me, it's perfect. Even some of my friends who don't do metal like this song.

  18. S.... ....

    I'LL SHOW YOU WHAT IT IS TO FEEL COMPLETE!!!!!

  19. S.... a....

    there was some cool songs released on this album, but this is not one. lyrics are generic as hell, sounds like it came from an anime soundtrack. imo.

  20. W.... R....

    I'm not that into deathcore/metalcore, but this song is pretty cool. Thank Austin Dickey's WtR shirt for leading me here!

  21. w.... ....

    that was a fucking banger. I love the style of the solonat the end, sounds Egyptian

  22. M.... M....

    The drop at 2:04 still makes me nut on myself 3 years later

  23. K.... F....

    The first thing I'll play during the "apocalypse".
    Fight till u die.

  24. c.... ....

    1:43 - 1:50 Scientology in a nutshell

  25. L.... S....

    3:50 is my reaction to this song

  26. C.... M....

    Love within the ruins seen them live in Billings MT it was so fucking awesome

  27. M.... M....

    Honestly I'm about 100,000 of these views. This song does everything from helping me get over a shit break-up to working out to having pile-driver sex with strange woman. Even when I'm low it lifts me up enough to get back to reality. Song or the century for me. Thanks within the ruins.

  28. K.... n....

    Been listening to stuff like this,... ATB,...Kublai Khan and Meshuggah for a good while now.
    Recently beginning a spiritual journey/ awakening or however the fuck you wanna perceive it,I've noticed these bands and others like Gojira or Hatebreed all have incredibly inspirational meaning hiding within the lyrics.
    Maybe it's obvious as,... just never paid much attention before.

  29. W.... ....

    that melody! :')

  30. J.... .....

    Professor X conversing with Magneto

  31. F.... S....

    that chorus gets thy wick wet sonny jim

  32. F.... ....

    that guitar needs to be loudeeeeer

  33. c.... ....

    eh, on second listen it's kinda meh and that weird face is so distracting lol

  34. L.... B....

    just synched this to my boyfriend playong it on his phone so they are at the same time... sounds cool bruh

  35. G.... ....

    best album ever made with guitar pro

  36. S.... ....

    I just wanna see a pit at 1:58. God damn that part ripsss

  37. s.... ....

    "GET OUT, GET OUT OF MY HEAD!"

  38. J.... N....

    ...So, Did anyone let him in yet?

  39. D.... W....

    In the Top 5 best metal bands right now. Creative, innovated and extremely tight live. Fan for Life!!

  40. S.... ....

    "Look at us, we're a deathcore band! The only thing we have to boast about is our drummer!"
    Garbage.

    S.... ....

    @SgtRyoseirui I guess everyone has their own opinion, I think everything about this band is perfection.

    S.... ....

    @Ryan Newcomb Puberty's not treating you well, is it?

    S.... ....

    I'm just mature enough to know people have their own opinions and you cant force them to change.

    S.... ....

    this nigga. please, sit the fuck down. This band is skilled in every aspect. Their guitarist is fucking sick ranging from the way he can manipulate arpeggios and effects with the drums in harmony...fucking beautiful. Their vocalist is also nice with it.

    S.... ....

    thing is, their drummer is the most boring part in this band. this band is about the guitar and their vocalist actually...

  41. K.... G....

    when I want to relax this is the song I go to.

  42. Y.... ....

    I really don't remember this band having a "the" in their name.

    Y.... ....

    it's been there for almost 9 years now.

  43. M.... ....

    This album's genre: nerdcore :'D

    M.... ....

    MsJoeyJody Lol, yeah. I'm not gonna lie; I play Mario Odyssey to this shit.

    M.... ....

    How is this nerd in any way?

    M.... ....

    Hatebreath Void it's about magneto

    M.... ....

    comic books

  44. B.... S....

    They have vocals now?? 😭

    B.... S....

    they've always had vocals... lmao

    B.... S....

    wut....

    B.... S....

    Nick Galbreath only song he probably listened to was enigma, which has no lyircs, and thinks he knows the whole band already lol. Btw I know this is late, but wuteverr

  45. S.... ....

    I have to say, that font looks awful, though the song is awesome :p

    S.... ....

    Sorrow. Thats the point of and metal font

  46. H.... T....

    best song to play smite to. every time the enemy team gets first blood I pop this song on.

    H.... T....

    fckg csul

    H.... T....

    they did draw first blood lol

  47. J.... F....

    Elite is so much better

    J.... F....

    +Jordan Forrer I find great parts from both albums. Also some great stuff on Invade and it still had great production.

    I like the punchi-ness and retro references in the new album, but Elite definitely had a very powerful feeling to it too, felt more "serious" maybe.....

  48. C.... A....

    I so get the vibe that this is about Magneto and Professor X.

    C.... A....

    because it is

    C.... A....

    Or goku and zamasu XD! WTR knew it all along !

  49. T.... D....

    0:04 is Mettaton? Is that you?

  50. l.... ....

    i like to link this song to my league teammates when the aforementioned event happens.

    l.... ....

    same but for smite.

  51. M.... B....

    So this definitely about Magneto and Professor X right? Or am I the only one getting that vibe?

    M.... B....

    It is. The entire album is about comic book characters.

  52. G.... C....

    I think the way he uses the term friends is whats buzzkilling everyone. It does sound kinda lame.

    G.... C....

    +George Bloodyblitz Why do you say that?

    G.... C....

    do you know what the story behind the song is?

  53. A.... R....

    What is all this shit about 'weak lyrics'? I feel like someone posted something about that a long time ago and the rest of you losers decided to jump on the critic bandwagon. The lyrics to this song are badass, and I'm 100% sure none of you assholes could write anything better. 666 hail Taylor Swift.

  54. j.... c....

    Saw these guys with born of osiris back in november omg did these guys tear it up I can't wait to see them live again

  55. K.... ....

    no comments? Im groovin to this right now. im a little drunk. but i like it. Groovey metal vibe

  56. S.... M....

    I find the lyrics a bit weak at points, as has been stated. I also feel like the vocalist is a little generic.

    S.... M....

    Just want to add that the instrumentation is flawless though

    S.... M....

    +Steve Marston Have you heard their "Elite" and "Invade" albums?

    S.... M....

    I've bounced around a few of their tracks on YouTube. The vocals just don't catch me.

  57. C.... ....

    I'm selling my Within the Ruins vinyl for cheap. Here's the link if anyone is interested. I'd appreciate it http://www.ebay.com/itm/252072900216?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

  58. X.... ....

    Half of these comments insult the lyrics and then admit to having no idea what they mean. You should probably research a little before making derogatory comments. These gentlemen still worked hard to put this album together.

    X.... ....

    magneto and professor x

  59. J.... V....

    The lowest string is in Drop C1 which a rendered "bass tuning" but it's fucking amazing. And they're not even using 9 strings.

    J.... V....

    v3ry dj0nt

    J.... V....

    if you guys every get a chance to see them live i recommend it. i saw them saturday and it blew my mind. we also hung out with them for a few hours after the show and they are the most down to earth people

  60. W.... ....

    I do like this

  61. W.... N....

    Absolutely hench

  62. D.... O....

    THEY DREW FIRST BLOOD JUST LIKE I KNEW THEY WOULD !

  63. a.... 0....

    This is revolution. Why dont you free a mine? . Maybe Not all comment people from to village?

  64. r.... ....

    just realized the lyrics are in gears of war title font lol awesome

  65. c.... ....

    Best song of 2014.

  66. J.... H....

    at first the lyrics and vocals in general sounded terrible to me but then when i listened without watching and reading the video it was a bit better ahah i dont understand why reading along with the video makes it so shitty but it does... so if you love within ruin like i do feeling obligated to give this song a couple chances, try ignoring the video ahah kinda helpped me

  67. A.... ....

    Drop Fucking C1?

  68. A.... Y....

    "Who needs Toms? Toms are overrated" - Within The Ruins 2015

  69. C.... V....

    my friend says this is about the Joker... it is not

    C.... V....

    yea he confused me

    C.... V....

    how many of their songs are about DC & Marvel characters?

    C.... V....

    @Craig Von Ruden On this album? All of them.

    C.... V....

    how many of their songs are about comic characters?

    C.... V....

    Their song Calling Card is about the joker.

  70. D.... W....

    idk why there is so much hate on this song, it's fucking kick ass

  71. G.... P....

    What the fuck did I just listen to. Fucking rubbish.

  72. S.... ....

    Since when do lyrics matter?? Love this band...high level of musician's ship. Talented dudes! Best of all...there are no shit  trendy clean vocals!!!

  73. B.... B....

    Get to go see them in two days!!! I'm so pumped!!!!!

  74. R.... ....

    Was browsing death metal and kept seeing this band in the comments saying they are among the best in tech death and a lot of bands are "copying" them but now that I've finally heard them I'm thoroughly disappointed. Wayyyyyyy too over produced, has that djent feel more than anything and lyrics are garbage. They doing their own thing though, doing what they love and some people enjoy this so props to them though.

  75. b.... ....

    Within the ruins? more like WITHIN THE MIDI

    No really, Joe Cocchi is god tier, and you can hear that perfect harmonizing since he's doing that as well as leads, of course on different tracks, but still. His technique is just a whole other level

  76. A.... ....

    @Matthew Nestell unholy shit dude this is the first song I've heard by them, fedoras off to you. Your right.

    A.... ....

    haha youre welcome. they are pure genius. probably my favorite band.

  77. N.... P....

    After the Burial tone lol

  78. V.... ....

    I heard the lowest string is tuned down one Octave and 2 steps. That's nuts.

  79. s.... h....

    song means a lot to me

  80. W.... H....

    Wow they have changed and i like it!

  81. j.... R....

    it sounds really good, But the lyrics don't make any sense to me?

    j.... R....

    I think it's about Magneto, but I have been wrong in the past

    j.... R....

    @Holden Fraser
    No, you're right, its a conversation between Magneto and Prof.X.

  82. G.... D....

    Such a big progress!!!

  83. c.... j....

    sounded kind of generic to me, BUT WAIT! FEAR NOT! that is only my own opinion and i shall now take my leave.

  84. Z.... C....

    This is what metal core should sound like.

  85. M.... S....

    Would be watching the music video but its not LOUD enough

  86. R.... R....

    This album is sick and they're fucking amazing live

  87. B.... ....

    Live forever and never stop making songs...

  88. G.... K....

    My vocalists cousins band :)

  89. G.... ....

    This song sucks... Still like it though.

  90. A.... S....

    They stole the same exact style of music video that Born of Osiris has done.

  91. D.... O....

    All the guitars sound like a sinth.
    Dislike this things...

  92. �.... �....

    1:40 - 2:04 Nuff said.

  93. R.... ....

    I just realized the Chorus is exactly like Source Field by Born of Osiris.  

  94. T.... C....

    Damn..them double kicks are wicked!!

  95. c.... ....

    They've taken a big leap lyrically. Great song ,great album.

  96. T.... R....

    I also wish I could scream/growl like this. I have it down on a novice level, but I'm getting there.

  97. T.... R....

    The chorus in this song is just pure bliss. Everything about it is perfect. I don't think any other chorus in any other death metal song can even come close. I just have no words. If only you could see my face as I listened.

    T.... R....

    Why the hell are you using the wors bliss?

    T.... R....

    @Resort Madara CUZ IT FEELS GEWD

    T.... R....

    I don't think that word means what you think it means

    T.... R....

    this isnt death metal you fuckin idiot
