Death 'Symbolic' Live in L.A. ◄ 12/13 ► [HD] ☺

-----------------------LYRICS AND INFO-----------------------------

*** Lyrics ***

I don't mean to dwell
But I can't help myself
When I feel the vibe
And taste a memory
Of a time in life
When years seemed to stand still

I close my eyes
And sink within myself
Relive the gift of precious memories
In need of a fix called innocence

When did it begin?
The change to come was undetectable
The open wounds expose the importance of
Our innocence
A high that can never be bought or sold

[Chorus:]
Symbolic acts - so vivid
Yet at the same time
Were invisible

[Solo: Schuldiner / Solo: Koelble]

Savor what you feel and what you see
Things that may not seem important now
But may be tomorrow

Do you remember when
Things seemed so eternal?
Heroes were so real...
Their magic frozen in time
The only way to learn
Is be aware and hold on tight

I close my eyes
And sink within myself
Relive the gift of precious memories
In need of a fix called innocence

When did it begin?
The change to come was undetectable
The open wounds expose the importance of
Our innocence
A high that can never be bought or sold

[Repeat chorus]

RIP Chuck, you were a pearl in a sea of shit. Thank you for all the pleasure you gave me.

[gasolini]

For the ones who doesn't notice this, playing at that tempo with that quality is barely impossible for any other band. This is gorgeous

[PassTheCemeteryGates]

0:28
Chuck: "We're gonna play it extra fast to get as much out as we can"
Drummer: "No god please no"

[palopo-tv]

A bunch of healthy talented dudes making amazing music in the 90s. I can only imagine where they would be today as a band had Chuck stayed with us.

[HassanAhmed-jrkl]

DAT SOLO!!! DAT SHREDDING!!! Chuck was seriously skilled.

[devtanuroy]

3:05 let me just scratch my nose while hammering on to my legendary solo at 1.2x speed...Goddamnit Chuck! God take me and bring him back!

[berkayurun]

The guy screaming "JUDAS PRIEST!" at the beginning lol

[Obsidus]

The lyrics to this song are absolutely amazing; they're extremely real, totally relevant to the human condition. They're not pretentious, or obscure philosophy that may or may not resonate or apply. No, these lyrics are relevant to each and every person to some degree or another. This is art plain and simple. The human race is impoverished at the loss of this man.

[bjornbrunekreeft]

Damn this version is fast. Yet so much control! Talk about

[mutilasijelangkungmelodeat]

Richard nailed all Gene's drum part, thats great

[feidtublec]

He's talking about metal, but this is a forge of emotions way beyond.
Long gone. Never forgotten.

[vincefisher]

man Richard Christy is so damn good and very underrated, I love this version, super fucking fast but tight as fuck!!!I miss Chuck so much

[KORNBG]

3:04 during solo he touches his nose... damn only HE can do that!

[Bmanczak]

Did anyone else notice Chuck scratch his nose while he was playing a part around 3 minutes or so and still play the part. It was brief

[VideoGamesRus]

As genius as Chuck's vocals and guitar are, can we take a moment to circle jerk how fucking insane Richard Christy's drumming is?

[ngpks]

Everytime i listen to DEATH, i feel so bad, this band had lot to offer to us fans, RIP CHUCK

[miguelelasmar]

Holy crap, they play some parts at nearly 2X the speed. Richard Christy was a machine back then. What a band. This album is always on rotation

[macchiato]

As a thrash metal fan, I have never had the knack for death metal until I have discovered Death. God damn it! I have a playlist in Tidal named "Death" that has all their awesome songs so I can just listen to them as opposed mixing it with other artists tracks. RIP Chuck and thank you for such awesome riffs and lyrics. God bless!

[josephderogatis]

If you ever sit down and listen to his lyrics or even just read them, they were very very thought out and had such a meaning and story mix that with a sound nobody can really touch and you have urself one of the most musical geniuses of an era

[darthpunk]

Drummer absolutely kills it. And chuck of course. Happy birthday legend
