[brittanydavis]

The fact that she started this band to help put her son through college and got HUGE speaks volumes of Maria brink. LOVE HER.

[kimfarris]

Why isn't anyone talking about her holding that note!! It is INCREDIBLE. That's on par with operatic. She deserves a lot more recognition as s singer, songwritter, and leading this band for over 20 yrs. They have worked their asses off. They did it the way they wanted. No. Bowing down to the industry.

[rainibrei]

58 years old always looking into new music to enjoy. the algorithm brought me here... thank you.

[jessefulton]

I love that she’s embracing the witchy goddess vibes from ritual and mother.. that’s the strongest persona and she fully embodies the goddess

[sympathyforthedevil]

The underlying message of the song is to not fall too deeply into the rabbit hole, everything is about finding balance. I had a lot of emotions building within me when I approached the song for the first time and after years of holding it all in I finally got to let it out! Enjoy. – Maria Brink

This song came from our time in lockdown. We all had our own personal experiences during the pandemic, and we all saw the social unrest unfolding daily tearing us apart. It was such a crazy time. Our band, like everything else, was stopped in its tracks. During the lockdown I was sending Maria musical ideas I was working on, and this one really resonated with her. She even said, ‘This is gonna be our first single.’ Fast forward a couple years and all the pent-up frustration and angst came pouring out in Maria’s lyrics and performance, creating this crazy visceral song. – Chris Howorth, guitarist.

[Whiskeychamp]

Can we just acknowledge the fact that she screamed for a solid 30 seconds without skipping a beat? Holy shit!

[phixix]

Reminder: Maria Brink is 45. And she is still fucking slaying.

[kylehoward]

Can we just appreciate that glorious scream toward the end? Oof. She gives me chills with every song! Love ya guys!

[chelseaingle]

I love her scream at the end, and this is a cool song.Maria Brink should be cast on American Horror Story.She would be cool on there.

Lyrics:
THE PURGE

[Verse 1]
Pushing like pudding
Like butter, like gold
You wanna get the cash, you wanna get the fool
You wanna find a fake, you wanna be seen
You wanna blame an addict, but you're already a fiend

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Fuck it, the whole world is gonna see
High off fumes, addicted to the feed
What's it all for like you don't really know
Another on the hook
And another Jane Doe
You're pushing back and forth and forth and back again
And you said that you were free now you're locked in a cage
You're pushing lies like your life is on the line
You want a reason why, now you're begging for a sign

[Chorus]
Maybe
Maybe we're all fucked
Maybe we're all burned
Maybe we'll all just purge and yeah
Maybe we'll all die
Maybe you were right
Maybe we're all just parasites
(The purge)

[Verse 2]
You cutting like glass, like needles, like knives
You wanna get the girl, you wanna win the fight
You wanna be a god, you wanna be a star
You wanna blame another and this time you went too far

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Fuck it, the whole world's gone mad
High off smoke, addicted to the fad
Why am I here? Like, I don't really know
Another in the bag and another Jane Doe
You're pushing back and forth and forth and back again
And you said that you were free now you're locked in a cage
You're pushing lies like your life is on the line
You want a reason why, now you're begging for a sign

[Chorus]
Maybe
Maybe we're all fucked
Maybe we're all burned
Maybe we'll all just purge and yeah
Maybe we'll all die
Maybe you were right
Maybe we're all just parasites

[Bridge]
I can feel the purge
I can feel the purge coming on

[Chorus]
Maybe
Maybe we're all fucked
Maybe we're all burned
Maybe we'll all just purge and yeah
Maybe we'll all die
Maybe you were right
Maybe we're all just parasites
(The purge)

[robbiebailey]

She's so powerful!! Listen carefully precious children of EARTH!!!

[SixxFixx]

"you push it back and forth and forth and back again" .... so satisfying to sing lol

[CosmicJack]

Ok can we all just appreciate that Maria's growl developing in this way sounds so sick???

[Valaran]

If you asked me in 2007 there's not even the slightest remote chance I could have imagined the direction this band would evolve into. This is just completely nuts.

[KKCait]

I saw In This Moment live and it was one of the best performances I’ve seen, very theatrical, and Maria’s vocals were insane. The band is amazing I hope to see them again 🔥

[CallOfDutyVodka]

I'd love to see how long she can keep a scream going with one breath. I enjoy how powerful and delicate her voice is able to be. Such a great song.

[killerteddybearmtt]

I saw them perform this live last night and honestly, their stage presence is so breath taking!!! These guys never fail to amaze

[leavemealone]

OMG... did anyone else get the major chills during that scream? this song is awesome!!!

[beckyirby]

Maria is truly an artist. I love her music and it keeps getting better and better! I almost had a chance to see her in Nola but sadly the concert got cancelled. In this moment is definitely my favorite band of all time and this is why! She is a musical genius!

[seaseklyps]

That scream she let out was cataclysmic, she's had plenty of great ones but this one felt peak
