Periphery - Graveless Lyrics






I've held the knife to my throat for so long
Is it everything I want?
This life feels far away
Is this the time to let go and settle a life below?
Or live another fucking day?
Suffocating in a world of human filth
Yes, pull me under
Stop treading in a pool of your own blood
Accept demise

Let it pour
Bleed it out
Feels as the life drains from within
A smile now rips open and paves a way in my sin

I feel Beelzebub inside me
He's been here all along
Clutching every last ounce of sin from these dried up bones
Please, strike me down
Fuck me...
I can't repent
By my own hands I shall bury my own life

Let it pour
Bleed it out
Feels as the life drains from within
A smile now rips open and paves a way in my sin

My only love is worlds away
Thy father bless her and repay the breath they stole with all my hate
I drift away now in my sin

Let it pour
Bleed it out
Feels as the life drains from within
A smile now rips open and paves a way in my sin

    2:33 It's the fucking Lick!!

  11. C.... A....

    amazing guitar solo!

  12. T.... ....

    This song is so DOPE

  13. D.... W....

    Just started listening to these guys. I love their guitar work and songs in general. But God damnit the whiney ass cleans all over the tracks make me cringe.

  14. s.... ....

    That outro riff makes me wanna murder everybody... this is such a good killing spree song!

    s.... ....

    The only way you could kill anyone is by blowing them to death lmao

    s.... ....

    Periphery: Soundtrack For A Murder

  15. P.... T....

    2:25 supposedly thats when he comits suicide, wierdly enough the solo sounds happy

    P.... T....

    I'd say it sounds melancholically blissful. Which makes a lot of sense in some ways.

    P.... T....

    Todesnuss totally, that's what I always thought! sad but relieving.

    P.... T....

    Kalandrill you'll notice among the album jazz represents losing control, such as MK Ultra, Hell Below and this solo :)

    P.... T....

    humm, interesting :O

  16. A.... H....

    Album of the year

  17. B.... D....

    The lyrics and guitar/bass rhythm are so fucking metal

  18. B.... D....

    The lyrics and guitar/bass rhythm are so fucking metal

  19. T.... M....

    Dat lick placement

  20. M.... P....

    amazing mix dude

  21. A.... C....

    The lick brought me here.

  22. A.... S....

    This album sounds kinda mnemic ish to me not a bad thing

  23. C.... L....

    amazing solo and chords...

  24. B.... A....

    They have aspects from many bands in the genre, but it how transited is very BTBAM.
    Metal introduction into Jazz breakdown into Metal Outro.
    Basic formula, but BTBAM uses that pattern in a majority of their songs to great success.
    Their best song overall is probably Mordecai.

  25. j.... m....

    If we combined Teen Titans with Periphery it would be a bunch of teens living in a giant P. Blasting Juggernaut

  26. E.... ....

    That chorus.
    So fucking catchy well done Periphery!

  27. B.... B....

    It sounds like a mix of Alesana and Asking Alexandria to me on some parts. I like it

  28. S.... S....

    Sick nasty

  29. S.... B....

    Probably the best song on the album next to omega

  30. G.... B....

    It's a bit different from the previous album, it maybe darker, more mature sounding or something.... well....... I don't care. I like it a lot :)

  31. n.... b....

    3:20 on was great

  32. C.... T....

    This is the best fucking song off this album

  33. R.... M....

    How can someone not like 1:45? I think the people bitching have no fucking idea even about the major scale... Go listen your fucking barks.

  34. a.... 1....

    Damn dylan smith your got shut down cuz of your ignorant blabber mouthing

  35. L.... P....

    If you ever liked Distrubed, check out his brother band Another Perfect Storm, they're cool

  36. P.... M....

    Finally i can hear bass !

  37. J.... A....

    The way Misha got "the lick" into the solo at 2:33 was really shitty, you can hear he tried so hard to put that in a solo. Fucking ruined it after it trying to make it "jazzy"

    J.... A....

    I like,it made my day,kinda funny though yeah ;D

  38. P.... ....

    Actually, I disappointed at this.
    I can't feel groove like Periphery II...

    Nice try anyway

    P.... ....

    Then go listen to P2 lmao, we progressing here.

  39. I.... ....

    2:32 dat petrucci influence

  40. E.... T....

    I went to buy these albums today and they were sold out! I live in Utah! I didn't know anyone in Utah listened to Periphery. So, I'll have to wait until they get more in.

  41. L.... A....

    This is the song where the main character (juggernaut) kills himself, and goes to hell in 'Hell Below'

  42. P.... D....

    It's super neat that they show the story's cult cathedral multiple times in these videos!

  43. E.... T....

    Dat outro doe!

  44. A.... B....

    It doesn't matter how much periphery try, they just don't sound heavy. it's too over produced.

  45. S.... ....

    EVERYONE LIKE THIS SO PEOPLE CAN SEE THE LYRICS

    S.... ....

    THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

    S.... ....

    @Gorbs413 Have you got any other official lyrics from the two albums? ^^

    S.... ....

    @9DarkSide6 Ehi dude, guess who!

    S.... ....

    @Hiruma Youichi wut? :D

  46. l.... c....

    I think we have to leave genre terminology when it comes to bands like Periphery. They have always been technically minded whilst being fully competent musicians capable of various styles. They write for themselves, to challenge themselves and to have fun. Have people never been to their concerts? They are just a bunch of guys having a lot of fun on stage and i'm glad they are given the freedom to do what they please.

  47. G.... D....

    After listening to both albums a few times, I keep coming back for this damn chorus. It's so good, Spencer you fucking beautiful man

  48. J.... M....

    well one thing is for sure is the 'the bad thing' is a dope song. imo

  49. r.... ....

    Dat intro. So fucking fast and angry!

  50. D.... S....

    This track is so heavy holy shit. 

  51. J.... C....

    this track has seriously grown on me. first time i heard it i was like 'meh, this is pretty average for periphery'. now that i've listened to it about 3 or 4 times I'm hooked. this is my second favourite song so far behind 'the bad thing'. I think juggernaut: omega is going to be periphery's best cd ever

  52. L.... C....

    That's the best Periphery music ever.

  53. B.... W....

    Nolly's bass tone is all you need

  54. P.... M....

    "It should never be about pleasing the audience" Finn The Djentleman. thats what METAL is all about.

  55. s.... ....

    "the lick" at 2:33 haha

  56. G.... V....

    God damn that bass tone is savage!

  57. W.... F....

    Jesus am I the only one who is loving their new stuff?

    W.... F....

    not at all! I've loved every song so far from juggernaut

  58. d.... ....

    I don't know why everyone is moaning about the new album(s). The reason why Periphery are so good is that they progress and do it well. Anyway all brilliant albums need a few listens first to be fully appreciated. Keep up the good work boys!!

  59. A.... ....

    Damn, Spencer sounds awesome, I can hear a lot of improvement in his voice.

  60. S.... M....

    Favourite Periphery song ever.

  61. T.... 1....

    Excellent.

  62. s.... ....

    Nice. Who else thought this kinda sounds like Sikth?

  63. B.... ....

    I love the progressive melodies and the drops are still as brutal as ever, but there as certainly a few missed tricks and sections that are over done. The mix is good, but it's lacking something. The lead lines are too loud, basic mix failure. Alpha is the best track so far.

  64. C.... G....

    not bad shows evolution and progression like their genre suggests.. prog metal mmmm prog metal 

    C.... G....

    prog metal? lol

    C.... G....

    "Periphery are an American progressive metal band from Washington, D.C.,[2] formed in 2005".  im sorry did i miss something 
    why no thank you mr. wikipedia you did fine.. 

    C.... G....

    google it punk 

    C.... G....

    Listen to more prog, pleb.

    C.... G....

    gimme a break.. ooh how long did it take you to google Plebeian and not even use the word in it's entirety... come on... at least call me the whole thing.... Philistine

  65. M.... M....

    Dat solo is pure shit, it ruins the mood of the song.

  66. F.... W....

    Why is this on Century Media? I thought they were Sumerian.

    F.... W....

    Sumerian is their American distributor, Century Media is their distributor in other parts of the world? I think? And some of their stuff is also up with Distort and Roadrunner, so I dunno. All I do know is I live in Canada and I can't watch their Sumerian Juggernaut videos here, but I can watch their Century Media videos. 

    F.... W....

    @Mark Ahenda That's really weird, but thanks for the explanation.

  67. E.... H....

    Purple and black really aren't Periphery's colour.

  68. L.... W....

    And people are saying they aren't progressive anymore... I'm going to cybersmack anyone who says they're not progressive. This song is solid proof of their err... prog-ness? \m/

  69. K.... ....

    I'm loving this track. I love Neurosis and Sleep too. Who gives a fuck, like what you like, spit shit if you want to spit shit, no one cares if you lub it, hate it or whatever people so try not to get too cut up eh?

  70. Z.... ....

    This song's fucking awesome, dunno what you guys are talking about

  71. N.... B....

    Fuckin lovin these groovy new tracks

  72. P.... ....

    The last 1 minute of this song raped me. \m/

  73. D.... S....

    LOVE IT

  74. J.... P....

    POWERFUL Spencer Sotelo 3:02

  75. D.... S....

    sounds like shitty metalcore mixed with black and death. I hate it. :)

    D.... S....

    They are like how BTBAM is highly respected in the progressive community. But they are also progressive metalcore. Well at least up until the parallax album(s). They have plenty of hardcore breakdowns and elements in the,, which makes them prog metalcore. People just don't like to admit it, because it's associated with metalcore, which is silly.  

    D.... S....

    @theBOSpaladin101 Not me.  I like metalcore and always have.  I just don't associate Periphery with being a metalcore band because they are not.  They have elements of it in their music but they are 100% not a metalcore band.  Other than a few break downs here and there their music does not scream metalcore at all.  Machine Head uses break downs often in their music.  Would you call them metalcore?  No.  Like I said how would you call a band prog metalcore when their influences are all over the place.  You can't label a band like Periphery because they are all over the place with their style.  Prog metal is the best one can do because like I said that is the only thing in each and everyone of their songs that is constant.  

    D.... S....

    @Dylan Smith Why does the genre matter so much to you man? Can't you just keep your opinion instead of starting all of this stupid youtube comments fighting. I don't understand x.x

    D.... S....

    +Ryzym I love you

    D.... S....

    Dylan Smith You hate it, I love it. It's okay, we're not forcing you to love it unlike some people will shove their opinions.

  76. B.... T....

    Someone has been listening to Sikth.

    B.... T....

    It's funny you say that cuz I don't hear it much in this song, but I know for a fact that they're a huge inspiration to these guys. Their first album in particular is heavily influenced by that band.

    B.... T....

    I was commenting more on the vocals. Very close to Sikth. Although the whole song sounds reminiscent of Sikth's first album. I am a fan of this song though, look forward to hearing the rest. 

  77. F.... ....

    merci pour votre créatvité et ce son génial!

  78. j.... c....

    it seems to me that alpha is gonna suck but omega will be awesome 

  79. J.... S....

    I don't understand some people... Shitting on a progressive metal band for doing what progressive metal bands do... PROGRESS. EXPERIMENT. "Oh Periphery's changing their style!" For fuck sakes, that's the whole point of the genre is to do something different! Have you not noticed the pattern of each Periphery album sounding different? If you don't like their new styles, go listen to the Periphery album you do enjoy, it's not like it's going anywhere.

    J.... S....

    @Sadpants McGee wut?

    J.... S....

    Oh shit, youtube is fucking up the replies again.  I have no idea what comment that was actually supposed to be a reply to, but it wasn't this one, and I assure you it would have made sense in context.

    J.... S....

    "Some people just don't words." - best quote ever :D

    J.... S....

    Progression is relative. Some see it as regression. That's not what the progressive in progressive metal means anyway. It's all opinions that will change nothing. Commenting on Youtube videos is a futile act, indeed. Looks like I've wasted my time.

    J.... S....

    Like both Juggernaut albums contain one whole story, theyd know if they truly listened

  80. R.... K....

    When did Periphery leave the fine genre of djent and become shitty post hardcore music? nice outro though

    R.... K....

    @Richie K So far I've learned that you don't know how to argue, bitch.

    R.... K....

    @MrGhoulington
    Thanks for the acknowledgement.

    R.... K....

    @Richie K No problem bruh, take it easy.

    R.... K....

    Hoooooooook uuuuup

    R.... K....

    Too funny, another person who doesn't understand what djent really is.

  81. B.... J....

    This and 22 faces are my favorite so far. I cant wait to get juggernaut dude!

  82. M.... T....

    so. alpha is more melodic, less dark, and more metalcore. and omega is awesome heavy badassery? 

  83. R.... ....

    Sounds like Sanguine seas of bigotry by Sikth :)

  84. F.... B....

    This is NOT metal.

    F.... B....

    I don't see the word metal anywhere in the title, description or video itself. Why post such a retarded comment? /facepalm

    F.... B....

    @JesterIF Glad you know it.

    F.... B....

    You're right; it's prog.

    F.... B....

    Look guys the authority on all that is metal. Come on let's pack it up. This is metal, it meets all quantifiable variables that one could possibly impose on the genre of metal. Now what's left are to sort the immense variety of variables not covered in the standard metal formula that are represented here, tempo and time signature were once free radicals, not often able to align a band to a subgenre on their own, but that is no longer the case. This is most certainly djent, which is a form of metal. Now the vocals, find themselves in an area most often tread by post-hardcore and the guitar and drums are certainly proggy. So, I dub this, with all of the quantified 0 (zero) authority I have as Post-Djent-Prog.

    F.... B....

    Does it matter?

  85. S.... ....

    The Lick! First it's on AAL's Another Year, then this... :D

  86. C.... A....

    your vocal is emo? the music is good lml

    C.... A....

    Fuck men! It's just Periphery vocalist! Not emo vocalist! Is he style!

    C.... A....

    BAH! I dont like it, thats it. :P

    C.... A....

    I guess you can say his vocals are kinda emo bit i dig it, i can see why people dont tho

  87. R.... ....

    eehmm I don't like the vocals meheehhehh could you plzzzz do an instrumental version????? love u, guys

  88. y.... ....

    where can i find the lyrics? 

  89. G.... C....

    Crushing riffage as always. YEAH!

  90. D.... S....

    I get to met these guys :')

  91. M.... T....

    Awesome!

  92. B.... ....

    Djent is definitely not for me any more,but to each his own. I guess it's not a bad track if you're into the genre.

  93. P.... ....

    This is fucking MAD!

  94. T.... ....

    Nucking futs.

  95. D.... A....

    I really like the new sound there going with! sounds awesome dont care what others say this is a improved sound love it! 

  96. S.... ....

    Love the guitar riffs, they haven't changed too much since the old periphery that I fell in love with. It's those god damn scratchy post-hardcore-esque vocals that I don't like. But I'll get used to it, any periphery is better than no periphery

  97. R.... ....

    This chorus...holyfuck
