Thrice - The Earth Will Shake [Audio]

From the 2005 album, Vheissu.

[kyzxr]

We dream of ways to break these iron bars
We dream of black nights without moon or stars
We dream of tunnels and of sleeping guards
We dream of blackouts in the prison yard

Heartbroken, we found a gleam of hope
Hearken to the sound, a whistle blows
Heaven sent reply, however small
Evidence of life beyond these walls
Born and bred in this machine
Wardens dread to see us dream
We hold tight to legends of
Real life, the way it was before

We dream of jailers throwing down their arms
We dream of open gates and no alarms

Look to the day the Earth will shake
These weathered walls will fall away

[Kevin-yqx]

Actually being in the system my whole life juvenile detention half way houses homeless and prison ..this song makes me cry

[lynngrace]

At least 6 years of listening, and I'll never get over his voice, I swear.

[modernwarriorsystems]

I will put this album up against any rock album ever. The song writing, the lyrics, the sounds, progressions, none of the songs being too on-the-nose when every band's chorus in their sing is just a repetition of the name of the song itself. This is REAL song writing.

[roberttanner]

This album and artist in the ambulance are 2 of the all time best albums written

[doomedsounds]

I can't believe 5 years has gone by already. This whole album is a front to back listen.

I remember buying this album when I was 11 or so. I saved for it even because my older bro showed me thrice. Bought this before our camping trip and listened to constantly. Good memories

[lki]

Seeing this live during one of the first times they ever played it before the album came out was an amazing experience.

[cruxis]

Chain gang chant is the best! This song is perfect in so many ways I can't even describe it.

[bh]

This song rocks!! It has me yelling To Jesus how much He has helped me!! Praise Jesus for His faithfulness

[AS-muhx]

One of my favourite albums of my youth, thanks for uploading, Thrice! Excited to hear more from you. xo

[towertito]

If you ever spent a strech of time locked up. This hits you deep in your soul. Almost to tears. Terrified nights and empty days

[Decembersbreath]

According to Wikipedia, this is still the best Post-Hardcore album ever. My friend added that statement, still holds true to this day. 🤘

I was just watching the new Mufasa movie and Rafiki said "The Earth will shake." I immediately came here because I forgot how sick this song is.

[disherofpain]

Absolutely insanely amazing. Can't believe there's only 106 comments

Love the progression of the intro, starting with the harmony vocal line. You guys always surprise me and I always feel the feels when I listen to your music. I know it's been a hard road as a rock band when the industry just doesn't give a f#$k but we do...we do..we love you guys and I happily give part of my earnings to you in the hopes that you keep giving us that sweet sweet nectar, otherwise I'm gonna have to "swing my hands through swarm of bees cause I, want thrice on my playlist" ❤

[mindquad]

This song is insanely good I just cried a lot

[shaesnell]

How many times have you listened to this?
Yes

[fernandovargasmejia]

Criminally underrated.

Virtually unknown.

I wish this was in spotify, or at least available in my country
