Slaves - Burning Our Morals Away Lyrics






They say it's hot in the spotlight, too much for some
So enjoy the shade
Cause your sparks will fade
Oh me? I'm doing just fine
With the weight of the world on my shoulders
They said it was over, they said I grew colder, they said it was over

Cause we are, we are the real ones
Will we refuse to run and hide?
Watch us pour our hearts into every note
While they fall to the side
(Cause we are)
Fight fire with fire
Only lessons learned
Rise above the ashes
From the bridges burned

Let's sing in a city of ruins
Walk on through the trail of dirt
Call it justice or call it
Call it justice or call it revenge
So love, have we suffered enough?
So now we kill what we love
Tore myself apart
Before, before anyone else could

Cause we are, we are the real ones
Who will refuse to run and hide
Watch us pour our hearts into every note
While they fall to the side
Cause we are
Fight fire with fire
Only lessons learned
Rise above the ashes
From the bridges burned
Fighting fire with fire
Only lessons learned
Rise above the ashes
From the bridges burned

Tore myself apart
Before anyone else could
Tore ourselves apart
To find out who we are

Cause we are, we are the real ones
Who will refuse to run and hide
Watch us pour our hearts into every note
While they fall to the side
Cause we are
Fight fire with fire
Only lessons learned
Rise above the ashes
From the bridges burned

    I'm glad Slaves have a good person as their vocalist now, but this shit still slaps.

  2. V.... M....

    0:40 Oh, me? I'm doing just fine with the weight of the world on my shoulders.


    Best part ever.

  3. E.... ....

    What douchebag bullshit is this? Lol. Is this what kids like these days?

    Hey kiddos, support your local scene. Johnny Craig is a sentient trash can. Go to your shitty venues, give your money to folks who actually deserve it. DM me for some nice Baltimore/DC locals groups. I'll point you in the right direction. ♡

    Like War on Women, for instance. Want to really stick it to this serial abuser? Support some REAL punk/Hardcore. And not this money hungry, sad white boy ,bullshit.

  31. A.... ....

    such a talented vocalist, I'm gonna be so fucking sad when he dies of an overdose in like 5 years.

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

    Una de mis bandas favoritas de este presente, Jonny Craig siempre a sido mi Singer favorito en el POST HARDCORE, tiene un excelente trayecto y su voz incomparable. Ojala un dia venga a COLOMBIA

  33. J.... C....

    Dude guy man bro.........hey mate, don't call me mate mate. Let's hang,play the shashkeen soon in manch or just hit me up if you wanna do some solo stuff (603)820-7582

  34. S.... S....

    I like Johnny Craig and his ability to compose good vocals but I kind of secretly hate how his pop culture body language represents using the hand motions like a rap artist

  35. �.... ....

    The treble part is a bit like Asking Alexandria's Danny

    Johnny Craig is a fucking God!

  38. G.... ....

    Rlly like, I used to listen to dance gavin dance and not much ago, I started listening to this group and WTF I found out this dude was DGD's vocalist. DESTINY???

  39. M.... G....

    Need to tour in Massachusetts again!

    M.... G....

    AGREED!! BOSTON BOSTON BOSTON

  40. L.... L....

    a red haired seraphim

  41. C.... T....

    I FUCKING MISS HIM IN DANCE GAVIN DANCE!

    C.... T....

    Why? DGD Is much better with Tilian/Kurt than it ever was with JC.

    C.... T....

    Jonny is a passionate singer. Tilian is amazing but I've always loved their old songs with Jonny. Personal preference

    C.... T....

    Each singer had a great contribution to DGD imo, and it's not like DGD has gone down since any member was out of the band. They stay consistently amazing for me.

    C.... T....

    I am SO fucking with you. Earliest DGD was best for me. and i fucking LOVE Tilian. lol.

    C.... T....

    exactly dude, each clean vocalist has had an influence on the band but the rest of the band is what makes dgd

  42. H.... P....

    That intro... ahem. Armin van Buuren - "In and Out of Love" feat. Sharon den Adel (of Within Temptation).

    H.... P....

    Hieronymous Pseudonymous it's a known drum roll. everybody uses it. same as the amen break...

  43. L.... ....

    I used to miss Dance Gavin, but damn this is gold <3

    L.... ....

    Luna Ahria Moon totally agree

  44. d.... 2....

    Insane vocals, looks like Connor Maynard with a beard and tats

  45. R.... F....

    I fucking love this band

  46. W.... ....

    After watching some interviews after he joined Slaves, I don't think he's a major douche. He still acts like a thug, but he seems alright.

  47. N.... T....

    this intro sounds like the intro from WCAR's Broken Statues

  48. C.... ....

    this song is for thirteen year old girls to listen to, i mean that's their market right?? For warped tour girls??

  49. I.... R....

    I hate this bassist so fucking much

    I.... R....

    No one cares about some youngin opinion, go play outside, kid.

    I.... R....

    because he reminds you of you, it's alright champ.

  50. a.... a....

    He sounds a bit like Danny Worsnop

    a.... a....

    The difference is that Jonny sounds better live and Danny sounds worse

    a.... a....

    Sykes Blue man, Danny isn't even on the same planet as Jonny, especially live.

    a.... a....

    angie alkaios Seeing that this was just a comparison between that assclown and Jonny Craig I want to now die a little bit

    a.... a....

    angie alkaios I think their totally different 0.0 but I love both:)

  51. f.... r....

    This band sucked the first time too,.....when they were called linkin park. Had to mute the vid so i could type the comment. how the fuck did I land on this page????

  52. J.... M....

    I'm sure he thinks this is really good but it's really not

    J.... M....

    Aaron-Christopher Hogan are you blind? haha. and what does my skill have to do with anything? did I compare myself to them? nope. just said it sucks. (: nice try, sad man

    J.... M....

    Aaron-Christopher Hogan his voice was a panty dropper in verbal form. this is just a little boring and never really takes off

  53. D.... T....

    his short sleeve hoodie is bothering me. like wearing shoes without soles

  54. S.... L....

    Illuminati pyramid on his neck.. Why?

    S.... L....

    It's called The All Seeing Eye and it's original purpose was very meaningful

    S.... L....

    because his body is a temple

  55. I.... s....

    that cringy green guitar guy :v

    I.... s....

    Yes!!! 😂

    I.... s....

    cringe on you for not knowing what instrument that was

    I.... s....

    @BigElephant fair enough, i just realised it is a bass, shame on me

    I.... s....

    shame on you , a Bass is still a guitar thats why its actually called a bass guitar and it produces bass , he was half on the mark ;)

  56. L.... L....

    fuckin fronz poser

    L.... L....

    Jonny is way more talented than fronz 🙄 just saying

  57. K.... P....

    My first time ever hearing this guy. I can tell this dude is a musical genius

  58. U.... K....

    what is this soft gay shit

  59. M.... N....

    Could you have found worse sounding drum samples? Jesus.. Totally robs the music of any life.

    M.... N....

    Matthew Neumann seriously. It's all I can hear when I try to listen to this band. Can't stand it so monotonous and unrealistic.

  60. B.... ....

    i was a big fan of Jonny Craig for awhile. now ive watched all of Slaves' videos. the songs are just not special. theyre just noise. and it's like he;s a hired hand or something, like his heart's not in it. this music is crap. just shit. I was ignoring Emarosa after Jonny left but now it turns out their music is more worth listening to than any of this Slaves' crap. i'm gonna go listen to Emarosa's new album now. Slaves just wasted my time...

    B.... ....

    I kind of agree... the tone of his voice just is....off... but I think it's just production. I feel like every band emphasized johnnys voice and with this album it isn't as emphasized. it's toned down... I just don't feel any emotion with it. but I'm giving it a chance, I'm sure I'll like it after a few more listens.

    B.... ....

    Totally agree..I liked Jonny in Dance Gavin Dance. This is just pure shit

    B.... ....

    BleedingxRainbow I bet you don't even play any instruments you sound like a complete fucking idiot sitting there criticizing these guys. Where are all of your musical accomplishments? Oh yea that's right you don't have any whatsoever so shut the fuck up you loser!

    B.... ....

    Honestly fuck you bro, Jonny is amazing. His solo shit and Slaves is some of the best in the genre. I love his stuff with emarosa/DGD as much as anyone too but come on bro

  61. L.... S....

    so this is what Conan O Brien does before each nightly telecast. lol.

  62. M.... A....

  63. J.... G....

    lmao he kinda looks like Obi-Wan

  64. R.... M....

    so who else is here just because Jonny Craig?

  65. i.... p....

    what is this utter shite sounds like one direction, I was looking for the proper SLAVES not this boy band bollocks

  66. M.... D....

    Johnny Craig looks like a fuckboy lol

  67. a.... a....

    Any body else realize that all of their music videos are basically the same? Still love this band and Jonny!

  68. K.... f....
