Under A Killing Moon Lyrics
carves craters from my eyes
they said "breathe deeply son
and watch the traitors die
and heaven's shutting gate
pray keep your tongue held tight
or suffer the same fate
it is none of your concern
if you want to call our bluff
get in line and wait your turn
and watch the witches burn"
are dancing with the flame
if they wanted to live
they'd learn to play the game
if you just hold your tongue
if you'd just walk away
you'd live to see the sun but"
under this burning sky
the fire's shining groom
I hold my breath and close my eyes
it is none of your concern
if you want to call our bluff
get in line and wait your turn
and watch the witches burn
we'll watch the witches burn"
dude "fadeofflashes" have you ever heard of there song under par. This is like perfect example of that song. You set your self up for thrice to be like perfect on "the artist in the ambulence" but it didnt meet your ecpectation. That doesnt mean the cd is not good, it just shows that you set the bar to high. Plus you have to think about the fact that this is only one of the songs, and not all of the songs on the enw cd. IT is only one of them. WEll yeah, furthermore, i think this cd will be great. Cant wait till it comes out.
Cool.
[Edit: Like it.]
I think this song is pretty good. It may not be as great as some of the others but I do like it. I can't wait for the album to come out.
Think of it as 'The Red Death' of TAITA. I suggest you read 'The Crucible'.
it isnt 'and watch the traitors die' it is'or be the net to die' listen to the song...
i think this is a really good song to be fair...and yes it is absed on the salem witch trials..read the crucible
Good song basically dustin has a unique style of writing and his influences range all over...deal with it.
Wow guys...for those who just don't dig what you are hearing off their new album, I really can't immagine why. I've only heard three of their new songs, and so far I think their unbelievable. Easily some of the best thrice tunes I've heard, and this has got to be my favorite.
very powerful, but i just can't quite grasp the meaning behind the song :x
its about the salem witch trials and how innocent people were accused of witchcraft and were burned...its in the lyrics...such an amazing song.. it got signle of the week for zane lowe on radio1 :)
I duno guyz, obviously on a VERY VERY VERY surface level it is about the salem witch trials. Do you know any other thrice song that is this surface level? 20% is on the surface, but the rest is below. I dont think this song is any different. I think it is talking about the salem witch trials, but that the salem witch trials are an allusion so something else . . .
Remember when the Communists were taking over the county during vietnam, I forget the term used. But everyone was being accused of being a communist, So that one dude released the film of the salem witch trials. It was the exact same thing, he was just relating it to something done in the past. I beleave this is no different, I just cant put a finger on it . . . maybe im looking to deep and it is just a surface level song. But anyhow, i think it is FRIGIN RAD!!! when the drums come in, you can't tell me you don't feeling it!!
