The Few That Remain

Matt: "This is sort of a sequel to 'The Fallen.' There is a state of mind that we as a group of individuals share, encompassing a passion for the things we want in life and a rejection of the things we despise all around us...an ethic that our fallen heroes have long since abandoned, time reveals true character and the only solution is to strive to be our own heroes. We must serve as the spark that ignite the pilot light of change we desperately seek. We want to thank our artistically like minded friend Hayley Williams for collaborating on this track with us. there was a large amount of hip hop influence happening in the song and we wanted to just run with it and have fun on the vocals all around. We were very excited to work together with Hayley on a song that challenged us all to think in a stylistically different and creative way.

pretty sure the last line is "when the mighty fall from grace."

i think most of these lyrics are wrong

its definately "pass the torch" not "pass the torture"

I got them off some website. Sorry.

the first ???????????? is

"Come on and break down fake personas from your art."

and the second one in that verse is

"A fraud, a hoax, a method actor reading scripted lines back"

and one more change is " flash forward" not "slash forward"

"when the mighty falls on this" is "when the mighty fall from grace" (shows up twice, last line and earlier)

"illusive guyal full" is "elusive, guileful"

here are all the lyrics

come on and break down and show us who you are Memorable first impressions only get you far When you stay true from beginning to end. Flexing all your morals, your environment will bend back As you bend crooked.

Come on and break down fake personas from your art. I used to hang on every verse when my days would get hard. Flash forward to present day and time: A fraud, a hoax, a method actor reading scripted lines back. Why'd you take that path? There's no way back.

We are the spark that once would ignite a pilot light burning deep in your heart. The start of making yourself out to be bigger than you really are.

Conscience is calling, come and shut it up. Yeah I know life gets rough sometimes And big dollars take the pressure off of hard times, But gluttony's a sin and hunger will not let you win if you don't get a grip. Use some self will to control it, hold it.

[Hayley Williams:] "Wooah guys uhm, is it cool if I get in on this here?" (Hell yeah!) (Dude, go for it!)

[Hayley Williams:] Alright listen! (Ohhhh) I see you ready, set, go. With unqualified pride, orders of your disguise explode. [ Set Your Goals Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ] Watch us double up on those who try to intimidate unaware eyes. Fabrications of a buster living within a lie. If you come back you'll have to get (get, get, get, get) Through all of us.

We are the spark that once would ignite a pilot light burning deep in your heart. The start of making yourself out to be bigger than you really are. You instilled, helped to build A belief within me that I carry to this day. You passed the torch and cared no more. What a shame. Who's to blame when the mighty fall from grace?

Go settle up with the kids fed up. This time we want for you to man on up right And account for all your crimes. Go settle up with the kids fed up. This time we want for you to man on up Right now, I want you to say it. I wanna know why you abandoned this and now hate it. Just why? But you don't know why. Such an elusive, guileful, meaningless sham.

Come on and break down Come on and break down Come on and break down Come on and break down Break down Break down Who's to blame? Tell me who, who's to blame. Take the same. Now when the mighty fall from grace?

love this song! especially the intro

Just like Prominent's posting of Matt's response, I see this song as incredibly inspiring. But I would like to focus on the positive more so than others might. You can't really get distracted with the anger you have toward fallen role models, but you just gotta stick to your guns all the way through. It's like if you were running a marathon, and if a friend who has inspired you to start running was running the race too, but halfway through, that friend stops running, you can't let that get you. You just gotta go as far as you can. It's your race now. The source of inspiration has to be within you.
