Wovenwar - Censorship Lyrics






What will we take?
What will we take?

Give a man more than his due he'll laud you all his days
But give him less than he mused oh god you're an idol waste
What will finally earn your grace?
Are you not entertained?

When your expectations ride on the back of promised lies
Knowing your worth is almost a curse that leaves you high and dry

What of ends long pursued scaled and weighed for praise
Heart regressed to follow suit the art has lost its way
What will finally earn your grace?
Are you not entertained?

When your expectations ride on the back of promised lies
Knowing your worth is almost a curse that leaves you high and dry
When your expectations ride on the back of promised lies
Knowing your worth is almost a curse that leaves you high and dry

Tell me what's the point of this?
(What's the point?
What's the point?)
I'm lost in censorship
(I'm lost in censorship)
Tell me what's the point of this?
(What's the point?
What's the point?)
I am lost
When your expectations ride on the back of promised lies
Knowing your worth is almost a curse that leaves you high and dry
When your expectations ride on the back of promised lies
Knowing your worth is almost a curse that leaves you high and dry

What will we take?
What will we take?
Are you not entertained?

Wovenwar Censorship Comments
  1. C.... S....

    I wish Shane could replicate what he did on record live. I've seen a few live clips now and while he's not bad he just doesn't quite have the same vocal strength (not that it's atypical to see singers do way better in studio or anything). But I LOVE Honor Is Dead all the way through and I hope that AILD doing some stuff together again doesn't take away from what this band has been putting out. They're very good and I think get a little underrated because they don't have the same name recognition despite coming from really good bands.

  2. s.... p....

    ***wow*** lol

  3. D.... P....

    How am I just now finding this?! Their first album is one of my favorites.

  12. s.... C....

    Exelente cancion espero verlos pronto en MEXICO lml

  13. K.... R....

    I wish people would stop comparing them to AILD, they are different styles in their own ways. And if you don't like Shane because you can't stop imagining Tim's voice...dudes and chicas, chill...its a different writing style and different voice. Take the band as it is. Treat it like a new sound

  14. d.... s....

    just bring back as i lay dying..

  15. B.... L....

    This reminds me of Doom 4.....

  16. H.... H....

    wtf... goosebumps!!!

  17. R.... F....

    Different Band... Different Style.... Different Name. Appreciate this for what it is...

  18. P.... O....

    Tim's out of jail, but don't get excited for an AILD reformation anytime soon. Just saying.

  19. S.... B....

    Like Wovenwar as well as AILD. Just a lot different. And that's fine.

  20. h.... k....

    it sounds like as i lay sleeping..sorry

  21. B.... I....

    nice song, love the chorus

  22. R.... ....

    this f#%$@*n song is awesome

  23. C.... W....

    screaming isn't everything. a vocalists that can't sing is not a real vocalists! Tim couldn't do it. He was too busy breaking the law and pumping up.

  24. C.... W....

    Shane is a way better vocalists! Tim was powerful but Shane has a better variety of vocals.

  25. H.... E....

    End this crap, the whole wife murder thing is water under the bride, continue with as i lay dying, you will have a lot of free media coverage and free marketing and you can go back to making great music.

  26. M.... ....

    Tim is back !!

  27. K.... B....

    finally a song from them with enough heavy vocals that I like. they were Waaaay to soft for me. hopefully this is a sign they'll strike a great balance between screaming and singing instead of being to soft

  28. D.... J....

    Best guitar sound. Ever.

  29. A.... S....

    You have one of the best drummers in the business at your disposal and he's stuck doing typical HxC metalcore bullshit. Even if he did write the drums himself this music doesn't lend itself to anything but the most banal of metal - the banality of metal.

  30. N.... 1....

    new Oh Sleeper album is awesome

  31. D.... ....

    Saw them live last week in Flint, MI at the Machine Shop. Killed it!

  32. N.... A....

    They sound like Chevelle.. Can't wait until Tim is outta prison.

  33. N.... ....

    BRING AS I LAY DYING BACK

  34. D.... ....

    Um ... screaming all of a sudden IS AWESOME!!

  35. J.... D....

    I'm starting to think Tim was the brains behind most of As i lay dying

  36. N.... V....

    Damn. First time hearing these guys and I'm hooked!!! Sick as fuuuuu*k!!

  37. g.... ....

    singer is garbage

  38. D.... ....

    These guys are good if i look at them as a new band but when i consider the fact these are the same guys who played for As I Lay Dying they SUCK

  39. L.... G....

    they are still making pussy metal

  40. D.... T....

    I miss AILD

  41. J.... L....

    Just another cut and paste Metalcore band without Tim. Flash forward 4 years from now, Tim will be out of jail and this band will be floundering or disbanded. A reconciliation will ensue and AILD will be back together again. The writing is on the wall.

  42. F.... M....

    volta as i lay dying

  43. D.... A....

    and People keep acting like this needs to be another AILD. never going to happen folks.

  44. b.... e....

    had me for the first 30 seconds then lost interest... *free tim*

    b.... e....

    brian ellis

    Let justice be served

    He deserves a lot more than six years according to Torah!

  45. D.... A....

    I really like the song musically speaking, I just can't seem to get into the vocalist.

  46. D.... P....

    Less Shane Blay more Josh Gilbert on vocals..... Best songs on first albums are the ones where Gilbert sings more...

  47. C.... ....

    Every time I heard a new song from AILD, I always had this, "Idk, doesn't sound super amazing to me yet," feeling. The thing was, each pass through every song was like waking up and everything about your life is changed just enough for you to tell it's different. I always wound up hearing more to the music as I kept listening, over and over again. Of course, near the end they got kinda stale. Although I did feel like The Powerless Rise was their best album overall, the fact that I couldn't find a distinction between that album and Awakened made me feel like they weren't trying anymore.

    I like the direction Wovenwar is heading. This is different from their last album. That definitely reminds me of how different An Ocean Between Us was to listen to when it came out, coming from AILD. I think the comparisons are valid given that it's pretty much all the same people. It definitely feels like they're taking more artistic liberties in their music again. I want to hear more, I'm always interested in the music these guys create. I have to admit though, some of the vocal melodies I've heard in other popular songs. I just hope that's not reflective of the entire album, but I understand originality has nothing to do with using a similar or even the same melody as another artist. After all, there are only a finite amount of melodies and we tend to enjoy a very specific range of them.

  48. J.... M....

    So many bands have great music than they throw this kind of vox. No clean vox it weakens it

  49. M.... 1....

    go to India and you can write about censorship all day long! lol

  50. T.... D....

    Lol is that blind kid Luke Holland?

  51. V.... R....

    Fucking ridiculous, bring back TIM LAMBESIS.

  52. A.... ....

    norma jean???

  53. T.... C....

    cant wait for the day as i lay dying comes back this band just doesn't do it for me

  54. C.... P....

    This band is so awesome

  55. R.... ....

    Cant Tim just escape from prison and join the band so it gets epic again? Miss AILD so fucking much... I mean this song is not bad but I cant really get into it.

  56. m.... 5....

    so fuckin good.

  57. B.... ....

    I like it a lot more than most of their first record.

  58. M.... M....

    This is incredibly reminiscent of uncensored by threat signal

  59. W.... L....

    At first, I wasn't a fan of this change. But it gets to you after you realize change is good. Sure, Tim has amazing growls and vocals. But he messed up. We all know it. So we have this. But this is still satisfying, to me at least.

  60. L.... T....

    bring back As I Lay Dying!

  61. L.... T....

    bring back As I Lay Dying!

  62. C.... L....

    It's amazing to me to see how many people still back Tim. Yes, he was a fantastic screamer. Yes, he helped found one of the best metalcore bands of the 2000's into the 2010's. And what did he do? He fucked it all up. He tried to have his wife murdered. I don't care who you are or what you've done, that shit doesn't fly. And then, he has the audacity to turn around and talk shit about his other bandmates? Fuck that, and fuck him. When Tim tried to murder his wife, he wasn't thinking about the band, he wasn't thinking about the music, and he sure as fuck wasn't thinking about you. He wasn't doing it then, he's not doing it now, and he never will, so neither should you.

    AILD is dead. Jordan Mancino himself stated that even if Tim were to be released, there was no chance they would want to reform AILD with him after the comments he made. That being said, it's time to move on. Wovenwar is a fantastic byproduct of AILD, but that's exactly what it is- a byproduct. It was never going to be an AILD clone. It only sounded that way in the self-title because they had yet to find new direction without Tim, while sticking to their original sound.

    They've finally found a new sound, one that helps them get away from the sound that has been tainted in their minds. People bitched, whined, moaned and complained about how the self-title was 'a rip off of AILD' and 'AILD with crappy vocals instead of screams', and now that they finally find their own direction, they finally manage to break free of the AILD moniker, you want them to go back to that?

    Fuck that, and fuck you. Wovenwar can do whatever they damn well please, and as far as I'm concerned, this shit is the tits, and as far as I'm concerned, one track does not an album make.

    'Are you not entertained?'

    Hell yeah, I'm entertained.

    C.... L....

    AJ Sacher Best comment I've ever seen on YouTube. No joke. Props.

    C.... L....

    Damn, well said.

    C.... L....

    I'm fully onboard with your message, brother

    C.... L....

    Well said. As I said earlier, no one should get off light just because they failed to be able to murder someone when the intent was there. They should have fried that prick when they had the chance.

    C.... L....

    This whole sad paragraph means nothing now you waste of space😂

  63. A.... L....

    I fell in love with their last album. The emotion felt raw. obviously the lack of growls is a little strange at first, but underneath is a great singer who can read the melody like a book.

    I don't think the death of AILD was anything close to being in vein.

  64. P.... S....

    it getting pretty heavy

  65. M.... G....

    What is this, as I lay dying must come back.

  66. A.... L....

    its just the heavy vocals that sounds dumb for this band compared to there last album

  67. A.... L....

    sounds way heavier than there last album but just listening to this song I kinda think they sound better on there last album than this heaviness

  68. w.... ....

    As an old bullet for my valentine fan this band is my thing for sure. The more metal there is the better the world is. I like it more than as I lay dying. (Which was still awesome)

  69. B.... N....

    I feel like I only like this band out of obligation and loyalty for AILD

  70. G.... G....

    eventhough i love Tim lambesis more, but i love this band too, the vibe of AILD is still there

    Tim please get out from jail ASAP!

    G.... G....

    Gustav Gilbert

    Unfortunately he was released in December.

    He needs to be put back in prison and deserves a lot more than 6 years. The intent to murder, according to Scripture, is the same as actually carrying through with murder and is punishable by death according to Yahweh (The Lord God). If the guy he hired was not an undercover cop that arrested him, his poor wife (ex) may well be dead by now.

    And please do not tell me he is sorry. He has record deals all lined up and has not once attempted to make restitution. Asking for an early release from prison is the exact opposite of what Tim should have done if he was truly repentant.

    Actions speak louder than words.

    Shalom

  71. F.... A....

    venenoso!

  72. R.... I....

    Liking this, vocal chorus sounds very Deftones like (itself not a bad thing!)

  73. k.... ....

    Why does everyone expect this music to sound exactly as AILD did? This is a fresh start. They are musicians. They are allowed to follow their own direction and build a "sound" of their own. I loved the first album. Don't really care if others didn't.

  74. K.... C....

    To be honest I see a lot of stupid comments here like "THIS IS NOT AS I LAY DYING GTFO" what a lot of people seem to forget is that this band was formed from the "leftovers" from AILD. And me, for one, love the fact that they're returning to their somewhat previous "Roots", with a rhythm to headbang to, lyrics to relate to, and a scream now and then to make the message all the more powerful, yes, they are a new band, they're not AILD, they're Wovenwar, but AILD was a great band, and I'm glad they decided to learn from what they did in the past.

  75. T.... G....

    This is wovenwar people, not as I lay dying.. get over it and go listen to an ocean between us. With that being said Shane should head back to Oh Sleeper. Much better band

    T.... G....

    Nobody gives a shit about Oh Sleeper, hints why they never tour with anyone beside shit bands and they blow live.

    T.... G....

    Pretty sure lots of people like Oh, Sleeper. You're just salty for some reason.

    T.... G....

    I prefer Shadows Are Security.

  76. D.... ....

    Without Tim is not the same. I can't listen this band and don't expect that power.

  77. R.... C....

    wow drop A, amazing dude \m/

  78. R.... ....

    Jesus people, stop comparing them to As I lay Dying. That band is dead, gone.. get over it. I loved them too, but Wovenwar isn't As I lay Dying. I don't compare Times of Grace to Killswitch engage, nor will I do that here. I am for one hyped for this new album, because it's more than we already got. If you don't like this one, don't buy it. I'm sure you will just stream it anyway. You can be critical, as that's important to any artist but the senseless 'vocals aren't like Tim's' and 'Powered down As I lay Dying' is stupid as shit. If you can dislike them without comparison then more power to you, everyone has their taste. But if all you can do is criticism by comparing them to someone else or another group than it's weak criticism.

  79. H.... S....

    2 years on and the bitching continues. Like it then great. Don't like it then fuck off.

  80. M.... ....

    This is very 'okay'. Their first album had so many great songs, it must be hard to live up to expectations. I hope the rest of the album delivers what this did not.

  81. B.... F....

    Reminiscent of Heart of a Coward. Not a bad thing

  82. S.... ....

    I dig it, but the rest of the album needs to be better.

  83. M.... B....

    This is what I was waiting for keep it up guys

  84. T.... ....

    #freeTim

  85. x.... ....

    They should do a collab with Micah

  86. K.... G....

    Well that was was fucking awesome!

  87. E.... G....

    I'm actually pretty impressed by this track. I wasn't a fan of their first album.

  88. P.... P....

    the lack of a solo really bums me out.

  89. R.... P....

    why does so many band sounded like the other djent these day?

  90. d.... c....

    these guys (including when they were aild) are always innovativing you never know what to expect. And they're getting heavier!

    d.... c....

    as i lay dying was darker than this. this was slow and boring. i hope this was the worst song on the album...

  91. D.... P....

    nicee! what a beautiful song

  92. J.... ....

    There have been many bands where, when they released a single as a precursor to an upcoming album, it got me hyped as heck... But Wovenwar... This didn't really do the trick, to be honest. Every single song on their debut album was better than this.

    Not to say it's bad, but I'm already 99% sure the rest of the upcoming album will be better than this. At least I surely hope so. It's not a bad song, but it failed to get me excited.

    J.... ....

    couldnt have said better man!

  93. G.... D....

    Sounds like the 90's

  94. g.... n....

    like it! definitely looking forward to hearing the album!

  95. M.... G....

    As I Lay Dying made you wait for that sweet chorus...but I saw WW live not too long ago and I wish this had been written

  96. L.... G....

    Well.... honestly... it sounds.... hmm.... weak. I LOVE As I Lay Dying, and I LOOOOOVED Wovenwar's first album, because it really looked like they were all "recycled" songs from AILD. This doesn't even sound like the same band. It sounds like the typical generic band you find playing metalcore on garages now. I'm really sorry for saying this, but please, DON'T SCREAM, Shane. PLEASE, don't try to replace Tim. No one will ever do it so please, don't scream because you suck at it.

    Also, sorry for spam, but I have a Wovenwar vocal cover on my channel. Enjoy :3
