Still one of my favorite songs to date. It gives me chills how smooth and yet manacing it sounds throughout, before rising to a cacophony for the outro

Lyrics :
All you great men of power, you who boast of your feats
Politicians and entrepreneurs
Can you safeguard your breath in the night while you sleep?
Keep your heart beating steady and sure?

As you lie in your bed, does the thought haunt your head
That you're really rather small?
If there's one thing I know in this life
We are beggars all

All you champions of science and rulers of men
Can you summon the sun from its sleep?
Does the earth seek your counsel on how fast to spin?
Can you shut up the gates of the deep?

Don't you know that all things hang, as if by a string
O'er the darkness, poised to fall?
If there's one thing I know in this life
We are beggars all

All you big shots that swagger and stride with conceit
Did you devise how your frame would be formed?
If you'd be raised in a palace or live out in the streets?
Did you choose the place or the hour you'd be born?

Tell me what can you claim?
Not a thing, not your name
Tell me if you can recall
Just one thing not a gift in this life

Can you hear what's been said?
Can you see now that everything's grace after all?
If there's one thing I know in this life
We are beggars all

I have sung this song to my daughters since the day my first girl was born. It is contempt and pain. But also truth and hope.
This album is different, but is the best of Thrice.

Such a powerful and menacing outro. If you feel nothing listening to the last two minutes, you've got no soul.

I've been working on death metal vocals for about 8 years now, I've been trying to learn some singing as beautiful as this and I gotta say it's kicking my ass 😂 it takes some serious talent to pull this kinda voice from your core, I'll keep working on it but mad respect to these guys they're something else

Lyrics are true. Be a free spirit. Don't let this world control you. Every man an women, is losing. This world, this as its sits. We're on repeat. Thanks, I've been listening to this album, and u thrice. over the years. This song still sticks to this modern day. Consequences and sufferings, if we don't wake up and rrlize the truth.

Feels like the world will always be asleep...

Songs like this should be super popular instead of the stupid promoted stuff. But, the consequences of short-sightedness/arrogance/selfishness, brainwashing + shallowness, etc. (generally, of just not using your brain right), are countless.
