I`m gonna add my 2 cents to the discussion. Musically, the Album is great. The Sounds and Effects in the Instrumental Section of the Record are really well done and have made it a pleasure to listen to. Lyrically, the Album is mediocre at best. I mean, Jared knows how to write effective and affecting lyrics, but this time around he hasn´t hit it ouf of the park imo. Up in the air is great, but the rest of the lyrics is , at least to me, not good, even bad some times. Nonetheless, still a great Band with really cool and intriguing live performances. I would rate the Album a 3,5/5. Neither their best nor their worst.
Ok I've heard of the Echelon but I've never heard of Vox Populi. By the way I'm not apart of the Echelon
Northern Lights is my favorite track. Anyone got the lyrics? I only know the chorus: "We swam among the northern lights And hid beyond the edge of night Waiting for the dawn to come And sang a song To save us all"
"Don't ever take a single second to breathe They're going to send me on a murdering spree I cannot wait to dance upon you're grave They don't even have a soul left to be saved, but" It's either "you would eat you're young" or "you believe when you're young" Chorus "Hey-oh you want a holy war Hey-oh you want a holy war I am alive just a playin dead I'm going to say what should've never been said The giants of the world are crashing down The end is near here the trumpets sound, but" Either "you would eat your young" or "you believe when your young" Chorus "Hey-oh Hey-oh You would eat you're young" or "you believe when you're young" x4 "I am alive I'm just a playin dead" x2 Chorus x2 And yes that is the pre-chorus. The bridge links the second chorus to the ending
#FearUs. "But you would eat your young," is the correct line, HybridTheory360. Edit - that reminds me, nice fucking booklet MARS.
Was there a booklet with all the lyrics? And I really can't fear something if I don't know what it is.
The booklet was like ... 4 pages in length and had LOVE, LUST, FAITH and DREAMS on their own page each with an animal in the background. No lyrics, nothing. Bullshit. That's exactly why you should fear us.
