After The Burial - A Steady Decline Lyrics






The secret's out this is the last time.
Cast overboard, dragged out to sea.
All premonitions drowned today in the murky waters flowing from wounds.
But we emerged soaked in grace, dripping with the truth.
You've fired upon a target so clear, but we've shattered our own glass hearts.
We've fought with sweat and blood, this life is all we have.
Today has taken a bloody toll, but the nightfall will claim your life.
Claim your life tonight.
Her majesty will swallow you, she'll devour you.
And now we stand at this eulogy dripping with the truth.
You fired upon a target and we fired back.
We fired back on your stronghold.
We devastated all defenses.
Regret consumes you.
Regret becomes us all.

After The Burial A Steady Decline Comments
  1. D.... M....

    It sounds so different, so cool and so head banging!

  2. H.... F....

    2:24 That shit dropped harder than the bombs on Hiroshima.

  3. m.... s....

    By far my favorite song I’ve ever heard live. Straight head banger

  6. S.... S....

    Those highs are fucking tasty boi

    this version is POOP

    J.... D....

  9. K.... n....

    Another incredible song

  10. N.... T....

    This is so imaginative right from the first strike of the cymbals!!

  11. D.... A....

    Intro riff reminds me a lot of Meshuggah's New Millenium Cyanide Christ...

    D.... A....

    Kind of like how the whole Wolves Within has a lot of Obzen influence. But it's also subtle in a way. Even the production seems similar. I love it and don't think it's a bad thing.

  12. L.... D....

    I hope they put The Forfeit, Forging A Future Self, and Warm Thoughts of Warfare in the next album. Cuz that's my favorite

  13. S.... B....

    they should of just added these 3 songs to wolves within

  14. B.... ....

    I'm furious. I didn't even know this album existed until today... It's so amazing!!! ATB seriously hasn't made a bad record!

  15. m.... p....

    damn I don't know how well this has been done but w o w

  16. M.... ....

    this fuckin song, man.
    good god.
    heavy, brutal, groovy, bouncy, painful, and peaceful all in one eclectic mix of sexy

  17. c.... ....

    Justin was a master of extreme metal...

  18. Z.... H....

    Favorite part is 0:00 - 4:00

    Z.... H....

    +Zach Hasse No one would have ever known LOL

    Z.... H....

    Zach Hasse naw, best part in my opinion is 0:00 - 4:00

  19. D.... W....

    Favorite part is 2:27 to 4:00 lol

  20. G.... B....

    Love you, Justin.

  21. D.... C....

    R.I.P Justin.

    D.... C....

    Killed by Sumerian.

  22. L.... P....

    1:45 - 2:05 is definitely my favorite part of the song

    L.... P....

    +Levi Paustell That part is legit! my favorite part is totally 2:22 - 2:54

  23. p.... ....

    I hate this version a lot

    p.... ....

    Then you probably shouldn't listen to it. Just an idea

  24. S.... ....

    The old version is much better. Not that the guy isn't good at vocals but why would they try to emulate the previous vocalist? He did his own songs better...OBVIOUSLY.

    S.... ....

    Dylan Rose do you even have ears? its not just anthony everything sounds better and brighter

    S.... ....

    Dylan Rose do you even have ears? its not just anthony everything sounds better and brighter

  25. D.... M....

    Fucking amazing!!

  26. S.... S....

    I like the snare maniggas

    S.... S....

    sweatergod maniggah?

    S.... S....

    +naea 247 mang I Sweater Jah.

  27. s.... ....

    0:52 \m/

  28. C.... I....

    amazing fucking song!!!!

  29. J.... D....

    They used to be technical before, now you can play their songs on a djentstick, why did they choose this awful path?

    J.... D....

    Alek, have you heard the first song on their first album dipshit?

    J.... D....

    a wolf amongst Ravens is the only ATB song you can play on a djent stick, any of the newer stuff on that album like Nine summers kicks ass

    J.... D....

    Are you fucking retarded?

    J.... D....

    Juan Deag you mean one song? Play nine summers on a djent stick faggot

    J.... D....

    and even that song has a solo in it lol

  30. f.... ....

    Such a great re-release! Now....where is The Forfeit?? :DD 

  31. M.... s....

    Im so happy they remade this the old vocalist sucked my pp twice

    M.... s....

    you dumbass its sounds exactly the same

    M.... s....

    Grant was alright. Nick was just...idk. I couldn't get into Nick's vocals. Anthony is beyond fucking amazing. ATB are so lucky they picked him up. They are now a perfect band.

    M.... s....

    I can get into Nick's vocals. I can't with Grant. I mix them up.

    M.... s....

    Nick is the best vocalist ATB has ever had. That’s the only thing missing from this version.

    M.... s....

    Nick was sick. Fuck off

  32. M.... W....

    your name ends with djent n ur hating on breakdowns? jump off the wagon kid dont be scared of the pit.

  33. P.... D....

    I can't believe they remade this!!! Wishes come true O(≧∇≦)O

  34. S.... V....

    I'm addicted to this :D

    S.... V....

    Sahil Vaidya
    😅I actually think I am too,waves of strong goosebumps constantly

  35. U.... ....

    2:23 onwards. this is metalcore at its finest!

    U.... ....

    This album is metalcore at its finest. The original FaFS

    U.... ....

    @Ben Heien whats FaFS mean

    U.... ....

    @chain5aw1 I think Forging a Future Self, it was their debut album

    U.... ....

    Doesnt really remind me of metalcore way heavier only thing it reminds me of is like meshuggauh n deathcore n djent

  36. I.... ....

    Sit behind a drumset and play the first 30 seconds over and over again it just grooves so hard man and there is room for limitless possibilities. I should have been more elaborate.

  37. O.... V....

    You're right, i used listen to metalcore and deathcore, before the breakdowns every fucking seconds fever came out.

  38. b.... ....

    Why is everyone commenting on the new vocalist like he hasn't been there for 5 years?

  39. P.... ....

    That's the worst idea ever. Go listen to Asking Alexandria if you just want constant breakdowns.

  40. I.... ....

    i wish this whole song was the first 30 seconds repeated

  41. A.... ....

    Saw this band a couple months ago. Went so hard.

  42. C.... ....

    Wow i just discovered this band THEY'RE FUCKING GOOD

  43. t.... ....

    Anthony is a better vocalist, but his voice doesn't fit the sound of this album IMO.

  44. S.... B....

    I personally like the original better. This is still good though.

  45. R.... ....

    Wow o.o first time listening to ATB in like a year and I come back to this! XD \m/

  46. N.... N....

    the reason this sounds so good is because motherfucking Terry Date (most of Pantera albums)

  47. B.... W....

    THE SECRETS OUT!!! THIS IS THE LAST TIMEEEEEEEEEEEE

  48. B.... T....

    If you don't know enough about the band, don't just make shit up. All of us ATB fans know that's not true,

  49. p.... ....

    Nahh haha, they are in the process of finalizing their brand NEW album :D Can't wait!

  50. A.... O....

    u wot m8?

  51. t.... ....

    The original one fit this album better IMO.

  52. f.... ....

    Hey i have a question. I saw After The Burial releasing some studio updates on their upcoming album~ the one with one of the guys's kid in it. are they just gonna do this album over in a better quality instead of making an actual new album?! If they are I am going to be so pissed at them. Lol

  53. I.... ....

    one of my favorite bands never fails to let me down

  54. P.... ....

    We need more djent. What are you talking about.

  55. S.... B....

    THE BASS TONE IS FAR TOO SICK

    SICK CUNTS

  56. M.... ....

    The melodic riff at 0:40 is absolutely sick! Shame they didn't bring it back before the end of the song with a solo or harmony, would have been neat.

  57. j.... c....

    dude. what the fuck too much dejent

  58. j.... p....

    We fucking did

  59. r.... ....

    ABOUT FUCKING TIME GUYS!!!!!! UNREAL!!!! Been waiting for ANYTHING from you for a looong time!! Cheers to an absolutely $iC remaster!!! Need more!!! \m/

  60. O.... P....

    DULUTH RAGED.

  61. R.... V....

    Nick was the shit

  62. M.... ....

    how long has this vocalist been in the band?

  63. S.... P....

    i have been a huge fan since the beginning of ATB and I can honestly say as a musician they steppeeeedddd ittt uppppppp!!! love the new stuff guys awesome job!!!!!!!!

  64. L.... D....

    Shit the bed. Can't believe I missed these remasters! Fucking awesome.

  65. K.... R....

    Drop a new album already ATB!!!

  66. J.... ....

    new vocalist is so much better, way more powerful and badass

  67. m.... h....

    Whatever. Its still good. New or old who gives a fuck? We get metal so who cares.

  68. K.... ....

    How can u guys not like this? This is awesome

  69. v.... ....

    Studio update for new album on February 25, 2012. Today is June 14, 2013. Not even a new song. I'm getting impatient. We don't need another Necrophagist :(

  70. V.... P....

    That awkward moment when the two top comments are the saying the exact opposite of one another.

  71. J.... C....

    Yes, a million times yes. I am very concerned about accuracy on the internet. All of my information comes from Wikipedia so without a doubt, I know I'm right.

  72. J.... C....

    KyleBakke voted for OBAMO

  73. T.... ....

    Is this life ALL that we have or is this life EVERYTHING that we have?

  74. X.... Y....

    What happened to the old vocalist

  75. S.... S....

    The overall production quality is better on the old one. This sounds...weird...

  76. n.... ....

    A.t.b is always so sick!

  77. A.... G....

    A.i.(d) is more like Djent + IDM + Meth

  78. A.... M....

    A.i.(d) - bath salts

  79. B.... M....

    Jesus fucking Christ that change up made me get up and break everything valuable in the room

  80. H.... G....

    It is both, re-recorded with the 8-string, different drums and a new vocalist

  81. H.... G....

    good to know, thanks

  82. T.... ....

    Idk...i actually like the original version.Im not so crazy about the djent tone :/

  83. r.... ....

    2:43 :-D

  84. r.... ....

    hahahahahahahahaha that comment made me weak as fuck.. i love the new singer(ant) but it was funny as shit

  85. I.... ....

    Is there such a thing as too Djenty?

  86. T.... ....

    I mean... I love the song itself and always have.

    But the original "mix" was better... I just prefer Anthony's vocals to the old vocalist. This new mix isn't real great though...

  87. M.... ....

    I think that the tracking for the drums was just terrible in this remastering

  88. K.... O....

    /watch?v=FA3S-G4QcfQ check this out

  89. J.... B....

    I think this is better than the original

  90. U.... ....

    They seriously took that singer from a garbage can, even a duck sounds better than him.
    (The music is still as good as the first one.)

  91. P.... ....

    "He is well known for his work with Slipknot, Pantera, Soulfly, White Zombie, Deftones, Dark Angel, Dream Theater, Soundgarden and Limp Bizkit"

    Sorry what?

  92. s.... ....

    1:47... I love it so much

  93. C.... N....

    Nobody can pull this style ever. Good shit.

  94. I.... ....

    Well they did sign capture the crown... he speaks some truth

  95. m.... ....

    Terry Date is the worst engineer I've ever heard ...

  96. K.... ....

    Sumerian signs some of the most unique acts you can find (other than AA, Capture the Crown and Make me Famous aka Marketing bitches)

  97. D.... H....

    Best re-record from this new EP hands-down. Good job.

  98. J.... M....

    false word was on 7string.org in like '05 so you lose
