Wage War - Basic Hate Lyrics






Here is to your false ideals
I am so sick of all your protesting signs
Your claims disgust me
If you really knew the God you claim to serve
You should know that there's no hate in love
This your warning
This is your fall
Try and justify anything you hold to be true

We were meant to coexist
It was never suppose to be like this
At what cost do you think you'll be saved?
Don't use His name to move all the mountains in your way
Go back from where you came, have heart with what you say

You think you have all of the answers
Don't think you can judge and not be judged

You use His name in vain
You're a deceiver
Open your ears and bite your tongue
And listen up

Protest the funerals of the ones who protect you?
Innocent men and women who have died to defend you
Stop biting the hand that feeds, consumed by all your own needs

At what cost do you think you'll be saved?
Don't use His name to move all the mountains in your way
Go back from where you came, have heart with what you say

You're a plague to the non-believer
Tell them all "You're gonna burn forever"
You cast your stones in my Father's name
There will be hell to pay
May you burn forever

    Here thanks to AdamLz's Insta lol

  6. T.... G....

    Now they have too much baby wussie cleans

    T.... G....

    Once Again Proven for a fact people like you aren't ones that would stick with the band no matter what they change maybe it was not your sound in the first place eh ? maybe think that .

  7. T.... H....

    1:45 might be one of the heaviest riffs I have ever heard, so fucking heavy

  8. M.... J....

    When you can't turn up the volume knob anymore..

  9. A.... B....

    Headbangs once
    *neck snaps*

  10. I.... G....

    "Don't use his name to move all the mountains in your way go back to where you came have heart with what you say"

  11. H.... V....

    Instant flab to rock solid abs 😂😂😂😂😂

  12. B.... ....

    As a Christian, HELL TO THE FUCKING YEAH!!! This song is my anthem to hateful, bigoted assholes like the westboro baptist church!!

  13. x.... ....

    Why do so many modern metal bands have the obligatory falsetto clean chorus? It really drags the song down, man. My opinion, of course.

  14. J.... M....

    These lyrics are so badass

  15. J.... T....

    Songs tight and all, fuck Westboro, but that last breakdown is fully ripped from BMTH's 'Fuck'. Shit like that is why this genre is so stigmatized yo

  16. S.... C....

    I'm a Christian and I approve this. :)

  17. P.... ....

    Get your fucking asses to europe this year :D

  18. c.... ....

    I’m not religious by any means but this bands just makes me scrunch my face up and want to smash my head on everything in front of me lol

  19. R.... A....

    C'mon guys, these dudes are Christian. The lyric "You cast your stones in MY father's name" implies it

  20. r.... ....

    These are some of the most meaningful and truthful lyrics that I’ve ever heard in a song. They really hit close to home for me, to the point where some of the lines actually get me choked up in areas. No other song has done that for me. Other than their song “Youngblood”. Wage War is definitely one of the best bands in the genre right now. Fucking love them.

  21. D.... ....

    I'm a guitarist but there's something about hearing that bass cut through....so much more power!

  22. V.... C....

    I talked so much shit on that drummer...

    Took me a week to learn this perfectly mad props to him.

  23. T.... ....

    FUCK THE WESTBORO BAPTIST CHURCH

  24. e.... f....

    As a Cristian I am totally against the protesters

  25. R.... A....

    clean vocals ruins this good song

  26. J.... P....

    Saw these guys last night in Cincinnati excellent show and I got to meet them after they hang out at their merch. Table after their set very cool dudes

  27. J.... A....

    Sick bruh!

  28. T.... ....

    To Westboro baptist church, FUCK YOU

  29. b.... ....

    is this about westboro Baptist Church?

  30. S.... ....

    1:44 NO! fucking awesome part right there

  31. U.... ....

    FUCK YEA!!! LOVE THIS BAND!!!

  32. S.... R....

    personally not religious, but I completely agree with this. If you truly follow someone, don't use their name as an excuse. the ending verse is pretty brutal btw😂

  33. J.... O....

    end breakdown reminds me of the breakdown in bring me the horizon fuck

  34. A.... ....

    I've been more into deathcore lately but man these guys are making metalcore great again! Great guitar work

  35. �.... �....

    I love the aggressive feel behind it but all there songs are sounding the same to me this is like one of those 2 or 3 song bands

  36. R.... R....

    So, I'm an atheist and I find it kind of hard to take some Christian bands seriously as I know my own Christian family can be very, very shitty. But, Wage War may be one of the few religious bands that genuinely seem to be good people. This song restored my faith in people who can put humanity before the beliefs of a person in question. I appreciate these guys immensely.

    R.... R....

    You should check out the Biblical definition of "religion" in the book of James. Jesus himself rebuked religious/legalistic folk. Food for thought. Cheers!

    R.... R....

    Wage War is not a Christian band.

    R.... R....

    @Marc Orellana Not officially, but many of the members are indeed Christian.

    R.... R....

    @Marc Orellana that may not be a "Christian" band per say like FFAK. But this song and many other songs tell you all you need to know

    R.... R....

    Hi Reid.

    I am a Christian and would love to learn more from you. Do you see this song representing a majority of Christians you have encountered? Have you found this to be descriptive of your family? Thanks!

  37. M.... ....

    Anybody else get a Memphis May Fire kinda vibe from these guys?

    M.... ....

    MrBiscuit Nah
    They are super gay 😂

    M.... ....

    MrBiscuit not at all m8

    M.... ....

    Chase McCaskill my opinion m8
    cheers

  38. j.... j....

    ive been sleeping on this band

  39. B.... 1....

    kinda like I Prevail + Killswitch Engaged to me

    B.... 1....

    Butch 13 I like I PREVAIL!!!💕💖

    B.... 1....

    Butch 13 I like I prevail !💖💕

    B.... 1....

    Butch 13 I know im really late but I prevail is gay

  40. H.... s....

    best part is 2:03

  41. c.... ....

    It was at 2:03 I fell in love with this band...

    c.... ....

    AND LISTEN UP!!!!!

  42. A.... O....

    Damn 1:45 is just so mean!

  43. p.... ....

    Are the members of Wage War Christians? It looks like they're sticking up for Christianity but telling off the selfish churches and people who use their beliefs to their advantage.

    p.... ....

    They are a Christian band. It's very apparent in their other songs.

    p.... ....

    I believe they are Christian, they haven't cursed in a single song they've made and another Christian metalcore band called For Today just chose them as support for their farewell tour

  44. Q.... A....

    Westboro babtist church getting put on blast. rightfully so

    Q.... A....

    Gilgamesh or you know there's a such thing as preference? you make it seem like no one's allowed to like this kind of singing. tf? it's just what you prefer!

    Q.... A....

    Gilgamesh I love the plot in you & Landon is probably my favorite vocalist right now but just because his voice is different doesn't me he sucks. Lmao.
    This band is perfect for have a clean and unclean vocalist.

    Q.... A....

    @Gilgamesh well at least the lead vocalist has grammar.

    Q.... A....

    @Matt Magee ya its not too high. I can think of many metal bands that have higher pitch clean singing. Like for example A7X. His voice is really whiney and high pitched.

    Q.... A....

    @Morgan are you dumb?

  45. I.... Y....

    Can't wait to see these sick fucks at warped tour. they're basically the only reason I'm going !

  46. A.... 4....

    I just realized this is the first metalcore band Ive heard that's heavy but doesn't use cuss words 😂

    A.... 4....

    Fit for a king of course

    A.... 4....

    Too bad Norma Jean doesn't make the list anymore.

    A.... 4....

    Why is that "too bad"?

    A.... 4....

    @Paul Romero Eh, idk. I don't guess it matters too much.

    A.... 4....

    Arilover123 456 who gives a fuck 😂

  47. D.... R....

    I love it!

  48. D.... S....

    Why the fuck have I not discovered this band until now?

  49. j.... ....

    Sounds like this song is about Westboro Baptist Church: "Protest the funerals of the ones who protect you?" WBC protests the funerals of American Soldiers with signs like "Thank God for Dead Soldiers" and "God sent the IEDs"

    j.... ....

    It is. The song had a different name before Wage War changed their band name. I believe it was called Westboro or something along the lines of that. 😊

  50. J.... L....

    they could have just called this song "Westboro"

    J.... L....

    John Libbey it was originally called Westboro though I don't know why it was changed

    J.... L....

    @Bret Griffis probably for legal reasons

  51. L.... W....

    You know, this song describes my grandmother (on my dad's side, I call her Nanny) a whole lot.
    Firstly, she claims to have made an "invention", which, from what I heard, was already invented. (This was, like, 5-6 years ago.) Ever since then, she holds on to the strong belief that she'll be blessed with lots of money, and in my mind, I'm like ". . . after 5-6 years? You're NOT getting that money. (You know how they say money is the root of all evil? In a way, it's that kind of thing.)
    Secondly, she accuses my grandfather (her husbands, the one who loves her to death, who basically does EVERYTHING for the house they live in, with NO help) . . . accuses him of having another girlfriend, and after a couple of years, a baby. I know my granddad well enough to know he's NOT that kind of person at all! And on top of that, she doesn't appreciate a fucking thing he does for her! He gives her money just about every week (which she mainly spends on junk/crap), he even bought her a new car (not brand new, but it looks great) . . . she doesn't appreciate any of that. A lot of times, they'll get into arguments, never any physical arguments, though. But here's the thing: she always brings up things like his "girlfriend" or his "baby" (which EVERYONE, but HER, knows is untrue), calls him a deadbeat (which he's, actually, the complete OPPOSITE of), and on top of all that, she brings up God's name nearly ALL THE TIME, like she's God's gift to earth, or something! She's delusional, thinks she's always right, won't stand to be wrong . . . you really think God rewards that kind of attitude? You're DEAD WRONG!! But I can't tell her any of this cause, like I said, she, technically, can't stand the truth. So, I should just keep loving her, as much as I love everyone. That's just the person I am, abd choose to be.
    But yeah . . . this song really describes her.

    L.... W....

    @Lige Williams Yeah, I recently got into them. I found The River about 3 months ago but just about a week ago got my hands on the album. Listened to it about 10 times or more now lol.

    L.... W....

    Jspau Inc. Ah, cool! Same here, ha ha! Well, you take care, buddy. :-) And I'll try to watch more of your videos whenever I get the chance (I'm sorta lazy on YouTube. xD )

    L.... W....

    Lige Williams Lagui never knew you were going through such a thing 😔. *hugs*, about snapping, if you get mad just message me, i am good at handling such stuff lol. Thanks for introducing me to a golden band like Wage War, i am planning on buying the album and it will be my first ever album! 😆 obsessed as hell.

    L.... W....

    loтυѕ oғ deѕpaιr Aww, thank you!! ^^ *hugs you as tightly as possible* That's why I love you, and no problem at all! After hearing that you loved Rock/Metal in our first huge conversation, I knew you'd love the band. Also, about the whole family situation with my grandparents, it's all good. I don't really let things like that get to me anymore, and in the end, I still love my Nanny! ^^ 💗 But if I do get mad/moody, I'll come to ya', and you be sure to do the same! I'll try to cheer you up with my (lame) humor. (͡° ͜ʖ ͡°). Or perhaps, words of kindness and inspiration, whichever you prefer. ;-3

  52. D.... H....

    To answer some of your question is yes, they are all devout Christians reaching out to those that think Christianity is a bad thing. It's about loving others as yourself and caring enough to let them know their are people that care about them regardless of the way they dress, look, act, etc. and hate and other such acts again themselves or other people is senseless. They really do care.

  53. C.... Z....

    This song is straight up I the Breather

  54. O.... ....

    lmao at first i thought this is by august burns red😂

  55. S.... G....

    Well you guys made it already. See you with Chelsea Grin on March 4th!

    muh adrenaline

  58. c.... t....

    THERE WILL BE HELL TO PAY .love that part

  59. c.... t....

    love the drums and guitar in the song

  60. M.... M....

    That second breakdown though

  61. M.... M....

    Don't know if these dudes are Christian or not (the third to last line suggests so), but as a Christian myself I agree with everything they've said... except the last line. I hope no one burns forever; that is the love that a Christian should have.

    M.... M....

    Matt McKay couldn't agree more

    M.... M....

    Luke Stange This whole song was against Westboro Baptists especially this: Protest the funerals of the ones who protect you?
    Innocent men and women who have died to defend you
    Stop biting the hand that feeds, consumed by all your own needs

    M.... M....

    Matt McKay if it were referring to satanic covens that sacrifice infants I doubt you would be disagreeing with the last line...

    M.... M....

    At the end they say, “You cast your stones in my Fathers name.”

    This indicates their belief in Christianity, because we call God our Father.

    M.... M....

    Their lead guitarist is Christian. I'm friends with his personal FB and he's pretty open about it. Don't know about the rest, though.

  62. C.... ....

    "You cast your stones in my fathers name" is this a christen band plz tell me it not

    C.... ....

    +CNGoodhue oh. Interesting. Thank you

    C.... ....

    Some of the members are Christian.

    C.... ....

    +Chris The best metal bands are christian ;)

    C.... ....

    Yes they are Christian, they openly say so when they play live. All the best metal bands are Christian (:

    C.... ....

    +OffBrand Bleach pretty sure Randy Blythe from LoG is religious also

  63. M.... S....

    Did anyone else notice that the breakdown in 3:12 is a slower version of Jarrod Alonge's Pray for Progress outro breakdown?
    This song was released before Pray for Progress anyhow.

    M.... S....

    Sound like BMTH's Fuck from There is a Hell..

  64. Z.... C....

  65. S.... A....

    Wage War - Basic Hate ft. A Deeper Jeremy McKinnon

    M.... W....

    @Emily Wilkins reference to unclean not clean

    H.... ....

    H.... ....

    H.... ....

    Easy to hate...this song says in it...theirs no hate in..God. or in love...somethin like that...I hear ya ..about the w.b.church..but that's not the response of a Chris follower bro...just sayin

    H.... ....

    @Justin Hopple I just said fuck em', didnt say I hated em. Hate wastes energy. 
    Who ever said I was following anyone though?

    H.... ....

    @Duke Hansen It actually is, fine sir! Google BlackCraftCult and check their website

  81. J.... D....

    There scream is absolutely godly! like holy shit! \m/

  82. K.... F....

    I love this band and this album so much, i can't stop listening

    I.... ....

    +Iplaywowandhalo yes they are with ABR

  85. J.... H....

    This is amazing!!!

  86. E.... ....

    Clean vocals on point👌🏻

  87. o.... k....

    they're quickly becoming one of my favorite bands

  88. L.... W....

    Fearless are making a comeback haha. See its better to have a wider talent pool than Ronnie Radke wannabes.. :P

    L.... W....

    Wait... Who are the Ronnie wannabes?

    L.... W....

    +Ø Ronnie stopped being great with FIR's second album. His golden days were in etf. Now, to me, he's just a mess with music lol

    L.... W....

    +Tamara Hamilton their newest album is pretty good imo but i definitely agree he was best in etf

  89. J.... G....

    sounds like emmure and Memphis may fire

    J.... G....

    I honestly don't hear either of those.
    Either way, this band has a solid future in my album collection.

    J.... G....

    just a little

  90. I.... H....

    Nice upload. Everything about this album is sick, love it.

  91. z.... t....

    Amazing, guys!!!

  92. L.... J....

    Wage Burns Red

  93. K.... M....

    Finally they signed a good Band :D Hated that punky stuff from previous uploads, but this is sick!

    K.... M....

    What about Oceans Ate Alaska?

    K.... M....

    +Kai Meier ABR, Blessthefall, INK, punky?

    K.... M....

    OAA agreed. i meant recent uploads (signings)
     though

  94. P.... L....

    THIS BAND WILL BE BIG

    P.... L....

    +Pedro Lopes I think they already are. If you drop an album this awesome you are going to have a headliner tour very soon. I think they are currently on tour. But an August Burns Red and Wage War tour would be epic

    P.... L....

    +Brad Williams Well their tour right now IS with ABR lol

    P.... L....

    Awesome

    P.... L....

    you got that right. I knew immediately as I heard Twenty One and Alive that these guys are gonna blow up....and with Jeremy McKinnon backing you? Talk about a home run

  95. m.... ....

    So much ABR vibes, love it !

    m.... ....

    I'm probably gonna sound like a loser but what does abr stand for?

    m.... ....

    Yes! I just thing the same thing listening to this

    m.... ....

    Unknown Identity August Burns Red

    m.... ....

    Jared Consolo I love Britton but not many can compare to the beast that is CJ

    m.... ....

    Bryan Lenihan super late to the game now, but Briton AND CJ both have been major influences on my style( and Phil Bozeman- his coaching videos helped immensely) of screams. I still wish I had Briton's highs though. Holy hell.

    Lyrics for this masterpiece?

    R.... R....

    +The Reuben Sammich 
    Here is to your false ideals
    I am so sick of all your protesting signs
    Your claims disgust me
    If you really knew the God you claim to serve
    You should know that there's no hate in love

    This is your warning, this is your fall
    Try and justify anything you hold to be true
    Try and justify anything you hold to be true

    We were meant to coexist
    It was never supposed to be like this
    At what cost do you think you'll be saved?

    Don't use His name to move all the mountains in your way
    Go back to where you came, have heart with what you say

    You think you have all of the answers
    Don't think you can judge and not be judged

    No

    You use His name in vain, you're a deceiver
    Open your ears and bite your tongue

    And listen up

    Protest the funerals of the ones who protect you?
    Innocent men and women who have died to defend you?
    Stop biting the hand that feeds
    Consumed by all your own needs

    At what cost will you be saved?

    Don't use His name to move all the mountains in your way
    Go back to where you came, have heart with what you say
    Don't use His name to move all the mountains in your way
    Go back to where you came, have heart with what you say

    You're a plague to the non-believer
    Tell 'em all, "You're gonna burn forever"
    You cast your stones in my Father's name
    There will be hell to pay

    May you burn forever
    There will be hell to pay
