After The Burial - Fingers Like Daggers Lyrics
Your feminine fingers are like daggers.
Tearing me apart, with each caressing stroke.
My scars unravel cruel history.
Our love was stab wounds and lusty kisses.
In your eyes I see wasted tears for wasted years, and heartache, heartfelt for granted.
This gaping wound from where you stole my vital organ.
But keep it with you, a trophy for yourself.
Still you linger for another gaze.
Die away from me.
I won't stand by while you plague the air with your lies and deception.
My shirt stained crimson, from long nights of anguish.
These scars are forever, but this won't be eternity.
You wash away guilt in the oceans of my tears.
I will drown you.

After The Burial Fingers Like Daggers Comments
I would sell my soul to have this whole album remastered
This is brand new to me. And now my favorite metal song. Ever. Holy shit thank you
Weird how this puts me to sleep
Whoua at 2:40
Atb and veil of maya both suck now with new vocalist used to be two of my top fave bands now they are both trash
Oh and suicide silence should’ve died with Mitch lucker rip my daughter loves him and does the stomp she’s almost two it’s epic
The ending of this song reminds me of all shall perish
This is the best album
The original album was better.
the tongue roll is what made this band. without it they're just another trendy hardcore band. forging a future self will go down in history. this won't.
i just drowned a small child in feces. and then proceeded to tear the raw flesh from his bones with my teeth.
The new production breathes new life into these songs. I love it I even love how it retains the vibe of it being written by a younger version of them
pig squeels are making me want to have an orgasm
That bass line is sick
saw them live yesterday. it was sick.
My best bud Sean suggested this version 😂
The intro riff is so Justin
ChudCitySchmeg I like it better with nick he does the tounge roll
that tongue roll was corny as fuck and EVERYONE made fun of that shit when it released. why the fuck do people want to pretend now that it was awesome and the old version is better? lets be real. open your ears. this is better in EVERY way.
How is this possibly mixed worse than the first one..
I meet trent anthony and justin back in 2008 i believe when they toured with trivium and sylosis and devildriver .. Justin such a humble dude
2:40 is pure THALL
+Orbital Ascension I think you mean th0ll d00d
this song looks like The Devil Wears Prada
+Davey Denis What does this even mean lol!
+Davey Denis well the number twelve looks like you
Rabbits visually resemble 94
number 12 is the shit
So sad.... Good memories.
ATB won't be the same without Justin Lowe, R.I.P
They won't be the same, but the heart will always remain as long as Trent is there.
rip justin
So sick and I would like it better. But that rolling "rrrr" in the original gets me everytime.
because then you would have two of the exact same song. the black and white picture is if you want the rolling R listen to the old one, you don't want it listen to the new one.
@Jerrylee Stewart-Gonzalez omg ur so smart
I know ty
EXACTLY
Tom Guerrero for real haha just commented this on the real one haha
Those annoying deathcore vocals ruin it
The old vocalist's sound may have been really wild and uncontrolled, but to me, it just sits better with this song than the new vocalist.
I like the new vocalist, but idk it doesn't sound good with this song to me.
This was the encore at their show at the Masq in ATL last week. My life is a bit more complete now.
2:39 is what you're looking for
It's true
remember when after burial wasnt stupid one string death core?
This song was originally released on F.A.F.S. in 2006.
Learn some shit before you comment.
oh. cuz that made sense
I fucking love Anthony's lows. The original and this are both amazing in their own ways.
I effing hate Todd why would you choose him for your profile picture lololol
God, what a big fucking step up from the original. I love the original for its mid-2000's charm, and you ALL know what I mean by that - it was totally a product of that slim-era where Myspace got you noticed, shows were the be-all-end-all of Friday evenings, and Job For A Cowboy just broke through the mold. That aesthetic made it beautiful.
But you have to admit, outside of that really fun tongue-roll, it didn't age well at all in the last 7-8 years. So, yeah, now that After the Burial found their niche, it's refreshing to hear this reimagined. And it rules. Anthony killed it, and the boys gave this shit some staying-power. Now stop crying already.
zzzzzzzz
no its not. the original was way better.
What a tragic story. I am pleased to have experienced such art.
Glad the tongue roll is gone. It was so annoying. Much better mix and vocals.
@DFVChrome u'r*
@Aaron Hooper I actually liked it too lol, I just wanted to piss off the hipsters complaining about this version haha
Charles Laurier yes That is so true
nicks tongue roll was better than anthony anthony has nothing on nick wellner, i auditioned for rareform justin lowe picked me, i declined so berzerker on red, berserker on green [s for steve]
PLEASE do this entire album.
Have they redone The Forfeit?
Just 3 songs it looks like... I want nicks vocals on these tracks!
They need to redo The Forfeit!! It would be interesting, that is one of my favs
I just love how purry and chuggy these guys still are without using that annoying "bow bow" and "bjoing" sound that's so prevalent nowadays. And I love this re-recording!
"bjoing" LMAO I think you mean Djent. And I agree with you completely
@bmhyakiri Yep. Djent and whatever the standard open string chugging of an 8-string sounds like :))))
This EP is a redo of some songs of their 2006 album "Forging a Future Self"
That and Rareform are why everyone loves this band. Their latest is alright but the one before that was djent djent djent
The mixing on this track is odd to me. There is no meat or beef to the song and the vocals are turned up a little to loud.
Holy shit i barely listen to After The Burial at all and this is just pure perfection in my ears. The cleans meld so well, the use of 8 strings is perfect. Nice and djenty, just what i like.
Fans of this really ought to look up Emerald Eyes - The Ep
2:42 dat breakdown.
And probably cause you were used to the old version
My hometown homies
Dennis Swearingen you from White Bear?
The bass in this is siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick
Old version was amazing, new version is amazing. Let's just agree that the new version, you can listen to much louder, and get less of a headache after about 30 minutes.
That's the thing, I'm listening to it with MY ears, not yours. I like the old version, the vocals and instruments just all fit together perfectly.
Same thing with the old version of The Red Shore - Knives and Wolves, both versions are good but I like the old more.
I like both versions in their own way. I think the vocals fit better in the new version though. Most of the time at least. Miss some of the guitar from the original like in the intro and some of the riffs that seem to have just disappeared. The break between intro and verse is cooler of course the overall richer sound on the instrumentals.
Holy shit
Loveee the new Synth Addition to the beginning. Much better quality as well.
The tone is way better on this, but that's about it. It's still the same sound. Being that it's the same song, Anthony's voice doesn't fit, whereas Nick's did. And there's no tongue roll.
nice ))
This is the only band I know that remakes all their songs each time they get a new singer.
I miss the old vocal :(
Saw these guys live last night, couldn't understand a word he was saying. However the actual song (aka this one) is pretty good.
m caught its fair share of flak. Honestly, I'm enjoying this remake. I didn't like the vocals the first time around. They were way too harsh.
Well, the reason why people are upset l, and why this is controversial, is because this song was off of their first album. Hell, I imagine the remake of Rarefor
omg it's true. Look at the lame ass shit on your page your douche bag hipster.
You guys make a stop in Rochester, NY???!!!!
You guys make a stop in Rochester, NY???!!!!
I shit my self when I heard these remakes! I remember 5, almost 6 years back, when these guys came out with these songs and I loved them. Wasn't a fan of the vocalist back then so this is a huge improvement! ATB!!
weak and sterile. sorry.
This video was totally made with an apple computer, haha.
HOLY FUCK AMAZNG!
So fucking beautiful... nothing more, the lyrics are awesome!!!
Can't wait to see them in October!!!!!
I don't think this song could make me feel any worse
Best song of ATB 4 eva <3
The fucking begging <3 Love it <3
Who’s begging?
Your the one with a shirtless mirror pic with a flat bill hat on. Easy there, faggot.
why do people have to argue over something so simple as this
it makes me mad that people get upset over making mew music. people evolve music, if it was the same thing over n over people would get bored woth it. their doin great. i love music cause its music! people are way to critical. keep doin your thang ATB, its great. fuck haters
This is my shit
you say oh quite being hipster douchebags because some people actually prefer the original? hahahah, hows that make anyone a hipster? how about stop being a faggot who thinks he knows everything. let people have a opinion of there own. I mean don't you get one? yeah I thought so.
dat ring at 2:41
now i know why its called fingers like daggers
Maybe because the vocals are not raspy enough. The overall sound may be a little to clean. But for me, its the lack of tongue roll on "caressing". ;-)
Well you blew that way out of proportion.....I clearly said I understand for certain reasons.
It perplexes you that people have opinions? That's rough man... you should rethink that.
sounds pretty clean but the original one is better
I miss the old After The Burial, thos melodies which made them unique.
the only reason i prefer the older version is because he rolls the R in "caressing" in the beginning.
so why the fuck are you here then
listen up buddy
just because a band remade a song doesnt mean they have sold out. i was so fucking exited to see they remade it because it was my personal favorite off of FAFS. and hell, this is an EP. WITH THREE GOD DAMN SONGS ON IT. After three full albums of original content you complain about three remakes?
since when did trying to make money be labeled as "selling out"?
After the burial is the best metal band these days in my opinion
yeah...you should have known better. gotta dig a bit deeper down into youtube's plumbing these days...
After the burial for life!
You're an idiot. They are both amazing.
the old vocalist's high screams were laughable. such an improvement. anthony also nails everything live
@ezchezz What are you talking about "they should play this song live"? This is the first song they always play.
This song is the fuckin shit. Haters aren't even in bands. Lololol
nice riffs ... horrible sounds
Thought i'd go to SumerianRecords to find new music..
Same old shitty bands/
The vocals need to be higher in volume
2nd version bothered me.. This version def competes with the original tho! Dunno which one I prefer... But the next step for ATB could be to play this fucking song live especially when people (this kid) are yelling for it;p
they have been saying that for the past 2 years.
i hope its true this time
I'm with you on that one! This is just a big tease.
They are back in the studio in June. They will drop the new album this fall.
no they should get there ass back in the studio and stop being lazy with the writting
Vocals r way better now.
