Those Who Slay Together, Stay Together

the song title is "those who SLAY together, stay together"

This song is a story about a group of people hiding out from "an army of the infected. However, it ends with them being the infected and spreading the disease. Amazing song, love Chiodos! <3

what i think this song means is like its vampiers not zombies idk it might be zombies but just think of the lyrics when i exsplane this. its like a bunch of vampiers came into a small town and started taking people and a group of friends (vampier slayers) went after them but when they finaly caught up with them they were over run and infected themselfs and then its talking about how they still stayed together after they were infected because those who slay together stay together in the end :)

this song is fucking sick. love the new album. one of the few songs about a zombie infestation ive heard, maybe the only one at that. love the new chiodos!

Here are all the correct lyrics I got from the CD booklet.

Light came through a crack in the wall That red sun slowly rose At the break of dawn they came, for us For a while we were safe and sound Came like theives and robbed our town Of all the life, of everything we knew The living versus the dead

Pray to your god Hell is on it's way home Hell was rolling in like a rancid fog,and the world that we knew Was raining blood.

Here we are (Here we are) We knew the day would come Those who slay together, stay together (In the end)

Crimson irises, the army of the infected They smelled our scent, sensed our fear They knew where we were!

The artist of the night They're painting the town red with blood They came through the door like a flood (like a flood)

A force too strong to handle We were trapped like a candle surrounded by demons that don't want the light They darkened our ability to see through the night.

Come through hell or high water We'll never leave one another alone This plague has taken control, of us

Come through hell or high water We die only to be born into a monstrosity

Light came through a crack in the wall That red sun slowly fell down And we devoured all that we could, oh yes we did we immersed ourselves in all the blood, biting each and every one The army of the infected

WE ARE THE INFECTED

Here we are (Here we are) We knew this day would come Those who slay together, stay together (In the end)

Here we are (Here we are) We knew this day would come Those who slay together, stay together (In the end)

Here's my take. It's about a zombie outbreak, obviously, but the zombie outbreak is a metaphor for Republican propaganda completely ruining Obama's term and erasing the feelings of hope his election initially gave the country. I'm not going to get too deep into it, but just think about all the references to the color red in the song and think about this line:

We were trapped like a candle surrounded by demons that don't want the light

we being those advocating for positive change in this country and the demons being Republicans who selfishly want things to stay the same for the sake of their own emotional comfort and don't want to "see the light" and realize their old ways are outdated and driving the United States deeper into depression.

There's more but you could probably figure the rest of it out on your own.

Here is my take on this song. First of all amazing!

Ok the beginning is obviously about the zombies attacking the city and a group of people get together and try to escape the "army of the infected". With no avail they cannot get away from the zombies chasing them everywhere they go through streets and buildings. In the middle of the song they get cornered or trapped in a building or an in-closed area and they are over-powered by the hoard of zombies. The group tries to fight them off and they each get picked off one by one and no one in the group will give up on one another so they stay together and try to fight them off and eventually losing the battle and becoming apart of the Army.

I don't take this so straight, seems like a metaphore to some deeper meaning. Not sure though. Anyway, great song, Illuminaudio is a state of the art.
