Thrice - Blood On The Sand [Audio]

The New Album 'To Be Everywhere Is To Be Nowhere' Out Now.

Lyrics:
We wave our flags, we swallow fear like medicine
We kiss the hands of profiteers and their congressmen
But I've seen too much (of this fear and hate)
I've had enough (and I'm not afraid)
To raise a shout, to make it clear — this has to end

There's blood on the sand, there's blood in the street
And there's a gun in my hand, or there might as well be
And I'm sick of it — I’m so sick of this

We panic at the sight of different colored skin
And we've got a plan to justify each mess we're in
But I've seen too much (of this fear and hate)
I've had enough (and I'm not afraid)
To take a stand, to make it right — this has to end

Fear will kill your mind and steal your love as sure as anything
Fear will rob you blind and make you numb to other's suffering
And I've felt it's touch too many times and I've had enough I've had enough
There's blood on the sand, there's blood in the street
And there's a gun in your hand, or there might as well be
Are you sick of it? — I’m so sick of this

"Fear will kill your mind and steal your love as sure as anything
Fear will rob you blind and make you numb to others' suffering
And I've felt its touch too many times and I've had enough
I've had enough!"
That is song writing right there.

There is something different about Thrice fans. It's cool to see the undying support for Thrice.

[NullGamingXYZ]

Just when the world seems like it's going to shit my shepherds return to guide me through yet another chapter in my life. Thanks for the last 15 years. Here's to 15 more.

[JakeBabineauMusic]

That's the first time in nine years Dustin's screamed like that on song...thought those days were long gone...damn. I'm pumped!

[GrigBox]

There's nothing wrong with a straightforward rock song when it's done with this much passion. short, sweet, to the point, and totally badass. glad you're back guys.

[Calibur]

That bass line is fucking intoxicating. I dig how the production is a little hotter than Major Minor too.

[kayraxzmusicTV]

im here because im playing Forza horizon 3 in 2022, and come here to hear one of the most brutal bands that I ever heard!! Love you guys!! KEEP THE ROCK ON!! Vagrant Records brutal forza radio!!!

[PrimeReclaimer]

Have to have listened to this at least 15 times. I don't really see the hate on this, it's heavier than Major Minor, still definitely has a thrice sound, and has amazing lyrics. If people are seriously giving up on thrice's new album because of one song I feel really bad for them. Glad to see thrice back strong as ever.

[meineomakenntdieroten]

No doubt Thrice are definitely one of the best rockbands of the 21st century.

[raresmacovei]

The titans have returned ! It's so good to have Thrice back.

[TheFortyAnomaly]

Absolute. Banger. Surprised this got into FH3.

[bobisadrummer]

Man, I love how current this songs theme is.

[thomasdawson-jz]

Can’t believe this band so small. They need to get more attention.

[Alcoda]

This is a lot more solid than I was expecting, honestly. STOKED

[mattlerch]

Cannot get over the delivery of these lyrics in this song. So. Fucking. Perfect.

[_randoM]

Holy Shit. Goosebumps. Only Thrice could make me post a comment on youtube for the first time in 4 years.

[chevin]

This is a great return. I am sure they chose one of their more straight forward songs so they'd leave the surprises for the album. Dig it. Terrific lyrically too.

[eveecoulter]

Words cannot describe my happiness that Thrice has finally returned

[DividedWarrior]

Thank you for the support through the years, Thrice. I have listened since I was 10 years old.

... I have suffered the true wrath of this system's malice. Never broke any laws. Never stole. Never threatened. Never owned a weapon.

In October 2016 I was attacked in a small town by corrupt police officers. They aggressed tazers and threw me to the ground for complying. All 3 gang members got on top of me and crushed my spine until I suffocated. I am now 24 years old and I can no longer walk. Permanently disabled for life.

The swearing at the end of this song is powerful. Thanks for sharing the pain.
