Parkway Drive - 'Dark Days'

Directed by Aaron Hymes

Lyrics:

What will you tell your children when they ask you "what went wrong"
How can you paint a picture of a paradise lost
To eyes that know only a wasteland
How will you justify watching the world die

The clock is ticking, can't you feel our days are numbered
Head first into disaster from which there will be no return
With narrow minds we decimate our one true home
Cast into oblivion, judgment is calling

Behold the pale horse
This is the funeral of the Earth
Behold the pale horse
This is the funeral

The blind eye can no longer be cast
The clock is ticking, there is no second chance

The blind eye can no longer be cast
There will be no future, if we can't learn from our mistakes
The clock is ticking, there is no second chance
There will be no future, if we can't learn

A forced extinction closes out the age of apathy
The final act, sacrifice the world's ecology
The death of beauty, the death of hope
Cast before the throne of avarice, judgment is calling

Behold the pale horse
This is the funeral of the Earth
Behold the pale horse
This is the funeral

The blind eye can no longer be cast
There will be no future, if we can't learn from our mistakes
The clock is ticking, there is no second chance
There will be no future, if we can't learn

I can't watch it burn

Behold the pale horse

This song is almost 10 years old, it's haunting looking back at a song like this knowing the ignorance of the world today and how much worse things have become since this song was brought out. We are truly living in the "Dark Days".

[SangNguyen-uzpb]

i am having a speech about protecting the environment tomorrow on school , can i sing this song instead ???

[ALEKS]

When the breakdown started at 3:30, I headbanged so hard I've hit my head against the desk and cracked the desk. What a good song!

[VibratorPoliceisgod]

The breakdown gives me goosebumps because of the way they all scream "Behold the pale horse"
Fucking perfect

[petru.schipor]

I was passing by a club one night and I overheard this song playing there. I rushed and entered the club, headbanging the shit out of me on the floor. I was pleasently surprised to hear such a song in a club.

September 2021 and im still blasting this in the car park before work. Timeless classic <3

[daimonioshellene]

This song made me throw my garbage in the recycle bin

[SweetJamesJones]

The whole "Atlas" album is just an absolute Metalcore masterpiece. The lyrics, the guitar work, the production quality, even the orchestral work on the title track is just amazing. By far my all-time favorite Metalcore album made. Good work guys.

[tyranno]

Winston is seriously so amazing, thumbs up if Metal bands are more friendly than Pop bands 👍

[parthpratimkalita]

Save Australia. We need you to write a song again like this.Cheers From india ❤️

[Jayman]

One of the best metal videos I've ever seen, music's perfect, nothing flashy, it has meaning... we need more of that nowadays

[Mcwordless]

ONE of the BEST metalcore songs EVER <3

[TurtleMalice]

My 8th grade English teacher used this song as a lesson on the cost of humanities progress, me and him were the only ones jamming out in the back of the class. Fast forward 10 years I’ve been doing metal vocals ever since and fallen in love with heavy music. I won’t name drop too hard but “Grumpy Cat” from Rafer Johnson Middle School Kingsburg CA I hope you’re living well 🤘🏼

And now, 7 years later, the Amazon is on fire.

How will we justify watching the World die?

[duck]

I listened to this while taking a shower.

Most brutal shower ever

[powerslaverm]

Who else agrees that Parkway Drive are the best metalcore band?

[Thecor]

Hands down one of their best songs made, period
