Remnants

[The DARK]

This song is horribly underrated. If they extend it live then it could easily be the new Run Thru. Amazing guitar work from Jim and Carl.

Lyrics?

[mjkoehler]

I don't get what people are not liking about it. This song is just bad ass!

[sweatboard]

In Many Ways.  I REALLY REALLY LOVE the lyrics to this song.  So much so that I'm going to go get the liner notes right now and type them out for you.   :-*

[The DARK]

Thank you.  :)

[j_rud]

I was surprised to see it so low on many of the lists in the "rank the songs thread". Great tune, should be great live. Also think Highly Suspicious is going to translate well live and win a lot of people over.

This song is horribly underrated.

How can it be horribly underrated...the album isn't even out yet?!!?!!!  >:( ::) ;)

the second this leaked and I got up to this song I posted that this song is bad ass and it still is.

                       REMNANTS

 remnants of the empire - artifacts of love.
will i meet the designer, what will he dream up?
  remnants of the empire - gravity awake......
what's held down to the ground next round goes into space.
  rasing up the empire - innocence and faith-
what will hold you up and what will stand in your way?

then I saw a new "heaven" - formed in the bleeding light of dusk -
               all souls, all faiths, always - we were one.
then I saw a new "heaven" - formed in the bleeding light of dusk -
               all souls, all faiths, always - we were one.

raise a bayonet in the dark, for all the human race. :'(
watch out watch out you could GO the same way.

taking out the empire - watching from afar  :'(
it's not too late, we could make a new fate.  :)

then I saw a new "heaven" - formed in the bleeding light of dusk -
               all souls, all faiths, always - we were one.
then I saw a new "heaven" - formed in the bleeding light of dusk -
               all souls, all faiths, always - we were one.

I love the image of "Bleeding Light Of Dusk"  and "All Faiths, All Souls, Always We Were One"..............a NEW Heaven.

Have I mentioned I'm a BIG fan of this band?

[mjkoehler]

Thanks B. That makes me love this song even more.

"what's held down to the ground next round goes into space."

this line makes me think of the image on the cover of the record, the one of the guy stepping onto the ferris wheel.

[sweatboard]

SPACE!!  GO!!!  

[Ive got an EVIL plan babe]

Thanks for the lyrics.

[Strangulated]

I didn't like this song (I thought it was dumb) until i heard it in the context of the album.  It and Aluminum Park are a refreshing kick in the balls (if there is such a thing) after the quieter, introspective songs.

Wow.  Seeing the lyrics changes everything about this song.  So do the liner notes contain the lyrics to all of the songs?  The songs almost always get better once you see the actual lyrics.

I agree.  It was my least favorite because of the inconsistency of the chords.  I was just uneasy on the ears.  But after reading the lyrics while listening to it, I was able to permantently adjust the tone knobs in my head, affording myself the opportunity to "get it"...from now on.  Thanks

yes from what I remember seeing a week ago.

[Nikkogino]

Remnants is and always will be the best song on Evil Urges.  Hopefully it is rocked hard live.

[jrat]

[Cameron]
