Black Dahlia Murder, The - I Will Return Lyrics






When death so swiftly has coveted
The client from this plane
A journey forged in ice has just begun
A crystal line entombment preservation now awaits
Proceedings executed hastely deceased to be encased
Encapsulated ensured the precious cargo safe
A pending resurrection rebirth

In the distant future when advancements shall allow
A being to be made again anew
The brain to be implanted
Fused within a growth of cells
This vessel but a vehicle
To traverse this mortal realm

Pressurized sealed in ward off the mounting days
Retain revived rebirthed beyond the grave

Jealousy some say it sickening
They merely can't afford this highest form of luxury
To live again
To carry on the will elite
To live again
Advancing through the centuries

Until the sky is black and the sun it never shows
Til the whipping winds of nuclear winter cruelly blow
The gift of immortality has been bestowed
I will return, I will return

Cryonics! Reanimate this life
Remake the fleshy juggernaut
In which the mind will ride
Cryonics! A wisdom is preserved
Frozen forever evolutionary curve
O a renaissance of mad technology
Segregate the wise eliminate the weak
O painstaking process onward we weed
Reproduce the strong eliminate

Heresy some say its blasphemy
Assuring I'll be in hell when god is through with me
To live again to forge yourself anew
To live again to face the godless truth
Foolery some say it'll never be
Fear will condemn such radical ideology
To live again to stand above your brood
To live again the phoenix raised unbruised

  3. A.... M....

    i don't know but i think this is about >mai waifu

  4. P.... G....

    This song taught a generation how to tremolo pick

  5. S.... t....

    Work of art.

  6. B.... ....

    I could totally picture Mr. House (Fallout: New Vegas) humming this song as he took over the ENTIRE whatever he was going for.

    B.... ....

    Too bad Mr. House was in The Courier’s way and had to be put down.

  7. S.... C....

    Anyone else notice that the first riff is blatantly copied from Glasgow kiss by john petrucci ?

  8. A.... J....

    What the hell is going on with this album cover

  9. V.... M....

    *crystalline

  10. S.... D....

    The guitar crying at the end is just beautiful

  11. M.... M....

    Fire af

  12. d.... g....

    I love the part were they play music

  13. D.... T....

    0:33 OOOOOhhhh damn!!!!

  14. F.... m....

    Still my favorite song

  15. R.... M....

    I remember when I first heard this album and I heard this song at the end. After the song was over and I was just sitting pondering the whole album in general I couldnt help but think " Man that song was an epic way to end an album!! I WILL RETUUUUUURRRRRRRNNN!!! I cant wait for their return!!" 🤘😁🤘

  16. a.... ....

    The most underrated song in metal history

  17. M.... H....

    I remember when this album dropped, I was at first disappointed because for me this just couldn't fill the massive shoes that is NOCTURNAL. now almost 10 years Deflorate has grown on me. Keep it brutal TBDM!!!

  18. J.... S....

    ...to live again...

  19. G.... G....

    Their best song tbh

  20. A.... G....

    My favorit song from Black Dahlia Murder \m/

  21. G.... P....

    5:05 I cry

  22. D.... M....

    That ending tho

  23. T.... A....

    Correct. You don't own the rights.

  24. N.... L....

    Tell me somebody else hears what I hear when I listen to that first solo. It’s like sekkis to my brain. And the end just melts my Soul.

  25. L.... F....

    suddenly i understand these elites drinking virgin blood

  26. E.... d....

    It sounds like JOhn Petrucci's Glasgow kiss

  27. S.... D....

    The last part had me in tears...beautiful

  28. J.... B....

    2019 ta assim!!!

  29. T.... A....

    You better

  30. M.... P....

    Dude. Black dahlia murder is the best band ever. But lamb of god is so much more METAL

  31. S.... ....

    This is so much better than their early 2000s stuff, much more death metal than their metalcore-ish style back then. In a way it's good I haven't listened to them in a while, now I have cool new shit to check out

  32. J.... D....

    My ears are pregnant now ☠️💀😈🤦‍♀️🤣🙄🔥💯

  33. p.... o....

    I love this song to all hell but i really haven't liked any other songs i heard by this band anyone got some suggestions?

    p.... o....

    Check out nocturnal by far the best I bought it for the high quality audio... nocturnal was the last album with the o g guitarist, this was the hit single with the new guitarist who was trying to prove his worth. Unhallowed has low-quality audio and miasma has only a few good songs in my opinion. Nocturnal has a bunch of hits like warborn and so many more lol virally yours. Nocturnal has full black metal cover art too

    p.... o....

    @isaac tapia thanks G

  34. C.... L....

    AHHH an old favorite of mine this album is perfectly wrapped up by this song. Melodic death metal has gone downhill alot since this album..

    C.... L....

    I feel like its on the come up again though. Idk if you have checked out literally any of the bands signed to the artisan era but they are by far the craziest label pushing the craziest bands atm. If you havent heard any of these guys and you like dahlia i would HIGHLY suggest any of these. Inferi, enfold darkness, equipoise... and even though i dont think they're on artisan era, vale of pnaths album "II" is GOD TIER technical melodeath.

  35. M.... M....

    What an awesome track!

  36. N.... ....

    Ryan Knights Solos were the best

  37. A.... M....

    Why does this only have 300k views it's should have 300B

    A.... M....

    7B people in this world... 300B might sound impossible to reach

    A.... M....

    banbo thanks, i dont think that anyone knew that before you said it

  38. C.... H....

    This is a fun song to learn and play on guitar. Hard as F but very fun

  39. J.... L....

    Needless to say that art work is brilliant.

  40. K.... D....

    I remember I was 15 when this album came out and I rushed to get that cd! It didn’t disappoint either

  41. K.... M....

    I can't stand the intro and outro part, but that's just me. the rest is fire though.

  42. R.... A....

    Jesus will return, accept him as your Savior.

    R.... A....

    Robson Assis lmao

    R.... A....

    You tell that fucking carpenter to get down here already and clean this shit up. Its fucking Sodom and Gomorrah down here!

  43. T.... K....

    Great intro! Love the solo too

  44. I.... ....

    Most powerful their song

  45. J.... S....

    Poetry...

  46. J.... E....

    ❤❤❤❤❤❤

  47. T.... H....

    Is this their best song?
    Feels like a weird question to ask for a band who only writes best songs

  48. D.... Y....

    Where's the lyrics???

  49. k.... ....

    The peak of the band. Just a brilliant album on so many levels. Knight really put them over the top.

    k.... ....

    I wouldn't say that Ryan Knight is the whole band, but I feel like after he left the guitar melodies and solos were never as good. Dont forget RK also did guiars on Arsis we are the nightmare

    k.... ....

    I miss Ryan Knight so much, his solos get stuck in my head all the time

  50. J.... M....

    love this song an tbdm always!

  51. C.... S....

    Saw tbdm in el paso, this was their last song of the night.....what a way to end the show!!!!

  52. L.... -....

    So, is this sort of technology available? If so, how much?


    Asking for a friend...

  53. O.... S....

    This album is so underrated from them!

  54. M.... ....

    Sounds like a song about the Rothschilds

  55. M.... ....

    does anyone know if this band bases gheir stuff of of literature or are they just damn good writers??

    M.... ....

    MrYodaman90 trevor is the songbird of our generation. I believe he has a master's degree in literature

    M.... ....

    Trevors lyrics are so good, i love that he doesnt fixate on overly complex word choices either. Straight to the point, easy to follow and they always paint a picture. 10/10 lyricist

  56. S.... ....

    This is amazing. What a shame i found TBDM this late.

    S.... ....

    well, they're still active. so it's not that bad.

  57. s.... ....

    I've only recently go into this band. After listening to their discography, I must say I'm impressed. Their albums are pretty fucking consistent.

  58. J.... S....

    this song is a fuckin' masterpiece.

  59. F.... ....

    Playing this at my funeral.

  60. K.... 9....

    This song is obviously about drinking beer!

  61. M.... T....

    I miss Shannon

    M.... T....

    Me too... but lets be honest. Alan was the best replacement they could have found

    M.... T....

    I think I miss Ryan Knight more

    M.... T....

    @Jesse Bowles Me too, Ryan Knight's solos were so tasteful. Branden Ellis, is doing a great job filling his shoes. I just wish he would hold back on some of the wankery, sounds like hair metal solos half the time

  62. t.... ....

    little known fact this was a note held by walt disney upon burial

    t.... ....

    travkit what?

    t.... ....

    Will he return though?

    t.... ....

    I can't find anything on it.

    t.... ....

    This is funny

  63. S.... ....

    tarzın bile değişti demek Melina....

  64. P.... 7....

    this is beyond powerful

  65. P.... O....

    4:34 - 5:35

    My ears haven't had so much sex in forever

    P.... O....

    0:00 - 5:35*

    P.... O....

    reverse the audio

  66. c.... k....

    i really miss shannon, songs like this really show his talent. those poor legs.

    c.... k....

    Augustes Dupin
    Triggers only make the sound cleaner so you can actually hear every hit of the mallet on the drum head.

    c.... k....

    @Yami-chan I'm not sure. The person who used them with me while recording had the drum doubling hits which became very distracting when using double pedals. We eventually took them off and just recorded me.

    c.... k....

    @Yami-chan yea I play with a drummer who uses triggers and that is all it does for him.

    c.... k....

    @Augustes Dupin Maybe you're one of those persons that hit sooooo hard that the rebound triggers a double hit... In my case I barely hit like a child xD

    c.... k....

    @Yami-chan well I play metal so I'd say I'm hitting them reasonably hard but still wouldn't use triggers.

  67. C.... M....

    2:20 for what you came for

    C.... M....

    I like the whole song bruh.

    C.... M....

    This is where i came

  68. r.... ....

  70. E.... B....

    The fact that these guys are from my home state makes me proud. Love this band and It's lyrics

  71. N.... K....

    I'm so glad that I have found this band, another amazing metal band that I have found.

  72. R.... V....

    wearing there shirts makes me feel so protected for some reason

    R.... V....

    That is endearing.

    R.... V....

    +RememberTheTrees I don't remember commenting this I must have been high

    R.... V....

    Demonic embrace :)

    R.... V....

    m.... ....

    +loteph666 first, John wasnt on this album, Ryan Knight played here, second john ROYALLY FUCKED THEM OVER, 3rd, how can their newest albums not be metal

    m.... ....

    +Doge Skeptik Agreed, John couldn't bring shit to the table for Nocturnal, and Alan is totally badass for this band, the new albums are fucking great.

    m.... ....

    +loteph666 I liked Everblack a lot but Abysmal just didn't do it for me. At least I get to see them perform the entire unhallowed album on friday

    m.... ....

    mark you're a dumb faggot the reason john is out is because he wouldn't write anything

  90. D.... ....

    Hey guys if any one is interested, i will be doing a solo lesson for both of the solos in the song in a few days. I had a skype lesson with ryan so the tabs are right

  91. A.... S....

    Amazing melodeath/black/thrash metal playing there own style hardcore can't believe these guys been around more then a decade almost..

  92. Z.... H....

    And the award for the sickest album art goes to.....

  93. T.... B....

    i was never a huge fan of tbdm's vocals for the longest time and but they've definitely grown on me.the instruments however have always been fucking incredible to me.the harmony of the guitars is just fucking mind blowing.most of their songs give me tingles. Deathmask Divine, Bloodmine, Goat of Departure, Nocturnal are my favs.

    T.... B....

    yea the lows are great, the highs remind me of a cat for some reason but yeah. Moonlight equilibrium is one of my faves

    T.... B....

    +Alex Cory I've always thought that too! The Nocturnal song was what first made me think that.

    T.... B....

    +nigelnigelakiraakira Stirring seas of salt and blood. read the lyrics and listen to it. amazing song.

  94. t.... k....

    You have to have respect for the instruments even if you don't like the music haha
