Parkway Drive - I Hope You Rot Lyrics






From crooked faith, the darkness flows
From hallowed halls, through broken homes
To prey upon the weakest lamb
The cruelest heart is truly
Man

And when the judgment came, they told us "turn away"
As their laughter whipped the halls like cracking bones
Small words and hollow gestures, the rats are closing ranks
They paint themselves as angels, oh so wrong

Libera nos
Libera nos
Deliver us from the blackest of mass
Libera nos
Libera nos
Deliver us justice for the lost

Straight down
I see their wings are burning
But it's a shallow fall
Straight down
I see their wings are burning
There are no halos to be found

So save your breath

Nothing here is sacred, nothing is divine
If heaven's gates are open, then I think I'll wait in line
Nothing here is holy when every faith is blind
So save your breath, I don't need more excuses

Libera nos
Libera nos
Deliver us from the blackest of mass
Libera nos
Libera nos
Deliver us justice for the lost

But it's a shallow fall
It's a shallow fall

Straight down
I see their wings are burning
But it's a shallow fall
Straight down
I see their wings are burning
There are no halos to be found

I'll never see through the eyes of your lord
But I have seen through the eyes of a child

I hope you rot

Straight down
I see their wings are burning
But it's a shallow fall
Straight down
I see their wings are burning
There are no halos to be found

From crooked faith, the darkness flows
From hallowed halls, through broken homes
To prey upon the weakest lamb
The cruelest heart is truly
Man

  4. B.... V....

    I don't care about the polarization, just, someone please make the drum mic, & editor work for as many artists as possible, Parkway has had the most solid cymbals since horizons

  5. S.... T....

  6. R.... O....

    parkway fucking drive!

  7. K.... T....

    I SEE THEIR WINGS ARE BURNING

  8. c.... ....

    Prince Andrew and friends I hope you rot!!!!

  9. J.... G....

    Am I the only one that feels like every single one of their songs could be the soundtrack to God of War??? 🤔 This would give Kratos the chills... Like when he says "And it's a shallow fall straight down, I see their wings are burning" I think of God of War II when keeps falling down to hell and all the demons wings are on fire flying around...

  10. K.... W....

    This kinda reminds me of Sabaton for some reason...
    Anybody else?

  11. C.... B....

    Went 180 mph to this.. lmao

  12. C.... ....

    Anyone hear Rush- working man.... I hear it in the beginning and some other parts

  13. J.... D....

    Landan aka the Snark Master brought me here!

    J.... D....

    The snark master of ass! Arummphhh bitch

  14. c.... ....

    Such a powerful song 🤘🤘🤘🤘

  15. D.... F....

    best parkway drive song of all time in my opinion. the harsh vocals with heavenly guitar melodies. the best beginning a metalcore song can have. 0:13 never have i felt stronger listening to music.

  16. E.... T....

    I fail to see why people don't like this

  17. N.... R....

    BEST BAND.

  18. H.... W....

    OH SHITTTTTTT <3

  19. J.... H....

    Not many bands have the balls to write about real problems or even judge them this is a masterpiece

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

    Fire! 🔥

  21. S.... B....

    For being an o.g parkway fan, this is one of their most bad ass songs hands down.

  22. T.... ....

    New parkway drive sucks :/

  23. J.... F....

    The guitar riffs in this are just powerful...damn.

  24. S.... A....

    I wonder why they never sing this song live :(

  25. A.... N....

    i got the cd 3 days ago, been blasting it in my car since then. i know this album since it came out, but blasting it in the car is a whole other thing and now i just noticed how fucking brutal the sound actually is. love that fucking guitar sound! holy fuck, especially the outro riff! duuuude thats so sick! love that band <3

  26. K.... D....

    They better fucking play this live!

  27. F.... S....

    I don’t know any other Aussie bands writing songs about the corruption and abuses of the so called priest class . I hope you rot says it all . Thanks PWD

  28. M.... B....

    This is an amazing album. People are also liking it now. It grows on you. But I was really blown away with just first listen. Fan since 2009. Thank you Parkway Drive. Eagerly waiting for another album. Lol

  29. c.... g....

    "I hope you rot" my favorite part

  30. t.... t....

    When people say they hate this album I simply just don't think we're listening to the same album or artist for that matter

  31. S.... F....

    I was a hater of this album, and for that I apologize.

  32. R.... J....

    They should start playing this song live and drop shadow boxing !!!!

  33. L.... W....

    No, its not horizons pt. 2. It's the awesome vocals and lyrics of Atlas, the stellar instrumental work of Ire and the spectacular flow and blending of Horizons.

    This is what they've been trying to do for fifteen years my dudes.

  34. A.... ....

    Can anyone tell me why I can’t find a live version of I hope you rot...?

  35. S.... ....

    This album kicks fucking major gorilla ass. I LOVE IT. Been a fan of Parkway Drive for a long time, every album is unique. I love these guys. Thank You God for Parkway Drive, I'm really thankful.

  36. B.... S....

    at first it sounded like "vive la france" or maybe I'm drunk

  37. D.... K....

    Dej mi na bong, dej mi na bong :D

  38. T.... B....

    What I envision when listening to this is a man arrives at the pearly gates, only to be rejected by God and sent plummeting to hell.

  39. P.... B....

    1:58 Angela Gossow is that you? :( ♥

  40. T.... B....

    That drum roll whoa shit!! ♥️♥️♥️

  41. J.... H....

    That riff at 2:56 is heavy af I get goosebumps every time

  42. H.... R....

    It's so damn rhythmic....aggressive, but clean...I'm a fan. Much better than what Trivium is doing these days...

  43. L.... M....

    2:55-3:10 🤯😍

  44. F.... P....

    Why are so many people talking about Parkway Drives' musical developement but so few about this songs theme? It's about child abuse in the catholic church. A very serious problem

  45. S.... B....

    George Pell.... this ones for you , cnt!

  46. t.... g....

    Start has that iron maiden feel!!

  47. R.... H....

    Well...i am now positively SWITCHING TO THE WHITECHAPEL SIDE... THANK YOU PHIL FOR KEEPING IT DEATHFUCKINGCORE !!!

  48. O.... K....

    Sounds like Sabaton having a stroke

  49. E.... T....

    Sounds like dude is super butthurt. Blaming God and religion for what I can only assume is everything. I used to blame God. Then I grew up.

  50. C.... F....

    God damn I miss pre Ire PWD

  51. T.... B....

    I listened to this album upon it's release and dismissed it. Something brought me back to it tonight and fuck do I feel foolish for that. What an album. Wow, just wow. Having had to deal with some really difficult shit in the last few months might have opened my mind to fully digest and understand this thing. It's a very dark record and it touches my soul right now.

  52. A.... M....

    Winston sounds dreamy on this quite vicious and powerful I personally think the new album is great there is a couple of 'neh' songs but overall I really enjoy it I hope there next album they go back just 1 last time :)

  53. F.... 0....

    This one ain't bad😀

  54. D.... C....

    Does anyone else hear the short solo at the very end? I want to hear the rest of that!

  55. T.... ....

    So much fucking truth to this song.

  56. D.... C....

    This and Chronos are fucking masterpieces! I hope they'll play it live someday

  57. a.... 2....

    How can one complain about this album, but bring me the horizon can go total pop band

  58. W.... P....

    Lame student metal.

  59. C.... C....

    This is the first song I've heard from this album that resembles the old parkway drive instrumentally.

  60. c.... i....

    the song is freaking amazing book the hook sounds like "leberwurst" as a german which kind of ruins it..

  61. O.... K....

    Didn’t know he took singing lessons from lordi and sabbaton 😂

  62. o.... ....

    I just released a new EP, please feel free to check it out! (link is below). You can find me also on Spotify, YTMusic, iTunes, and more! https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kXYFJxnr5OYH5pU8wyAFXaGNcxxUXbcsM

  63. M.... V....

    Better than anything they did years ago to be honest, musically this is insane 👌🏻

  64. M.... B....

    Am I the only one who hears "Leberwurst" instead of "Libera nos"?

  65. T.... F....

    These lyrics are f@%king insane...Awesome!

  66. S.... H....

    This is a great song on a DECENT album. Definitely the best track

  67. J.... A....

    Watered down piss

  68. J.... A....

    Sellouts

  69. S.... V....

    I keep hearing: 'Belarus! Belarus!' 0:43

    S.... V....

    Libera nos it's Latin for deliver us

  70. R.... ....

    I love those holy voices saying *Libera Nos* ....gives me the chills

  74. B.... ....

    Haven't scrolled through the whole comment section, but how has nobody mentioned yet, that this riff (0:16) sounds a bit like "Crazy train"?

  75. K.... B....

    I mean the vocal performance on this album is just phenomenal.

  76. J.... A....

    "I haven't seen through the eyes of your lord, but I have seen through the eyes of a child. I hope you rot."
    Possible slap at Catholic Priest child sex abuse scandal?

    J.... A....

    Correct

  77. S.... B....

    This is fucking sick....

  78. S.... B....

    I'm devo AF they didn't play this live during the Reverence tour in Aus.... would have gone off 🤘

  79. D.... E....

    There's no other band with crushing sound anything like Parkway this band is so good. It's tough not to want to put their stuff on repeat. Thourally enjoy their music truly incredible and amazing live.

  80. J.... Z....

    What band did they inspire to make this album?

    I would like to know more bands that sound like this

  81. A.... g....

    Hey thanos ,hey thanos 😂😂

  82. D.... S....

    Gives me a Iron Maiden vibe

  83. J.... T....

    There melodies are rad but just don’t sound like the heavyness is there candle burn out boys ??

  84. J.... T....

    This is only awesome coz parkway lol cmon but seriously they need to get back to there core I still crank fuck out of smoke em I know but my opinion is that there ep 1st n second album are the best honourable mention horizons what are your thoughts

  86. R.... V....

    Powercore

    sounds so much like dark tranquillity on this one at times.

  89. F.... L....

    i don't care what everyone says, this is garbage.

  90. j.... ....

    I love the lyrics. Fuck Religon, cancer of the world. I hope Winston didn’t have a personal experience as a child with a priest because it kinda of sounds like it. Sick Bastards

  91. 2.... C....

    When the song turns 1 minute in it is FIRE!!!!!!

  92. h.... r....

  93. T.... C....

  94. J.... M....

    Sounds like it has some folk metal elements

  95. G.... S....

    This proves parkway drive in atlas album. Well, they're were good till deep blue, but with atlas they were forgiven. Now this, what the heck is that, They must invite some pop artist to complete they career lol.

  96. B.... C....

    The solo at the end is fuckin mint. This has turned into my favorite song on the Album!

  97. D.... J....
