I'm not Christian, but I have a couple Christian friends, and I am very glad they introduced me to this band. I know some people who've been attacked for their beliefs, and others who have been attacked because of what they don't believe in, and I'm extremely thankful that I've managed to find the sort of friends who accept people with other beliefs, and that I am able to do so myself. TFK has awesome music, and their lyrics are relatable for Christians and non-Christians alike. :)
I've only even known Christians to be the attackers. Not the victims. There's as a difference between having your beliefs challenged, and being attacked.
@@TheRorschack I think it is one of the least attacked lol everything is attacked, every religion, every belif is attacked to some extent, but most people that attack to others because sexuality etc are christians from my observations
***** AHAHAHA dude i'm fucking 17, and I bet you're living under a bridge that you don't know youtube is for everybody.You trying being cool "Didn't work".. I'm actually dumb... don't judge...
they openend their set as the final act at the First Love Fest with this song. First time I had heard it. Completely awesome! I thank God that we have them and other bands like them who want to speak the real whole truth and nothing but the truth and can still rock out to God in praise! They are truly blessed in their talents and I can't wait till they come back for another rockin night of worship!
Sang this at karaoke. Surprisingly if you alter you tone lightly, singing it as a female sound awesome and you can even give it a shivering feel if you perform it right.
So, I've been a TFK fan for well over a year now(found them through Osu when I decided to look up the word "Thousand" and found Courtesy Call) and Welcome to the Masquerade has been among my favorites since I discovered them(my favorite has to be Take It Out On Me or I See Red). Thus, when I found out my school was doing a masquerade at the end of the year, I immediately got to work on making the WttM album cover mask. I've never been to a school dance before and I only went so I had an excuse to make and wear that mask.
Wow. That chorus is beautiful. I just Googled top 10 Christian rock songs, and this one was first on one list. I'm glad I just did that. Was looking for another song and found more good music.
I interpret this song as saying...you're pretending to be something you're really not. Something I do a lot, because every time someone sees who I really am, I get hurt. It's better this way.
Blaze Life is about risks. Take none and you will have a boring fake life. Take a lot and you will fuck up your life. You have to find the medium. Taking off the mask would lead you to a happier life with people whom actually understand you and you'd find you like a lot better.
Sean Robinson Those who wear masks are more likely to take dumb risks. Risks to prove a mask. Not risks to improve life, specifically your life. Besides who wants to take risks with a mask wearer? You show your face and they can't show their own? Should you really trust that?
MidnightKatana A mask, in my opinion, is a good thing, because you can change to accommodate your needs, without permanently changing your personality in a way that could come back with bite you later.
MidnightKatana another thing: yes, there may be people who shouldn't do so, but there are people who have to do so because of a disability to fit in any scenario. I wear my mask to hide autism, and others can do so to help people around them. My handful of friends both choose to wear a mask in order to hide the sorrows in which they have lived through.
Fun fact: most of Christian Rock Songs was popular because of Anime, like this: Sold Out by Hawk Nelson, Every Skillet's Songs, Every Thousand Foot Krutch's Songs, Impossible by Manafest, Every Red's Songs and etc
well the point of the song is to be yourself even if everybody else is being fake. "I am not afraid, I am not ashamed I am not ok Welcome to the masquerade'
Wether or not your a girl or boy, all music is meant for everyone to enjoy to help us when slew feel happy or r sad. Music in one word is a savior for all kids who are willing to listen to what the artist have to say.
PEOPLE WALKING IN THE WOODS HEAR THIS SONG: where is this song comeing from? RUN AWAY ME: awww more people running from thousand foot krutch? oh well *continues singing along*
Get it right guys, if you know tfk then you know skillet if you know skillet then you know red and if you know red then you know demon hunter..so on. ^_^
what the hell happened with youtube for me i cant reply to people cant thumbs up or thumbs down their comments and if someone has replied to someone it dosent have the (show comment) thing is this happening to anyone else
Joseph Richa Well they made it to where you can have it to where people can't reply to you it also could be because they havn't updated their stuff the show comment thing happens to me as well
"I'm not one to scatter ashes but there are some things that melt the plastic"... reminds me of how pathetic and frail cars are nowadays, mainly because they are made of plastic... fiberglass if you're lucky...
ClockWorkPoleAxe Let me just call you a fucking moron, alright, because that is exactly what you are... in a bike, you're the bumper. You crash, you hit something, you fall. There's no bumper, no safety beyond a possible biker suit.... before you talk shop with me, be sure to learn something... seriously, why do your parents insist on having you...
***** Perhaps because they actually taught me figurative speech rather than teaching me how to be a moron... if you want me to speak literally, you are a rider, or biker, whichever, not a passanger. That person would either sit on a sidecar or behind you. Seriously... it's much easier for you if you don't speak. You'll be less of an embarassment.
***** I just realized you can't read... and are extremely pathetic... and stupid... lesson 1: learn to read. lesson 2: don't assume. Lesson 3: when in doubt, ask. Lesson 4: No one cares about your body... or you...
Krystal Daneilson When it says "sea of masks" it's actually "sea of masses" The "scare the masses" is actually "scatter ashes". "I'm not one to scatter ashes But there's some things that melt the plastic" is a verse that appears twice, plus one at the end. This is something that, it might just be me, I hear clearly. I think I misinterpreted what you said.
I went and listened to the nightcore version and that was one of the more stupid things I've heard. I guess if you like singing chipmunks you'd be a fan?! Idk, not my thing.
I always thought it was "Im Not one to scatter ashes...but theres some things that melt the plastic, try and dig down deeper if you can"at the start and it turns out I was right xD
HoverReid Then you are gravely mistaken. Jesus Christ himself was a man of prayer. When we pray, we are speaking to God himself, and as Hebrews 11:6 says, God rewards those who seek him. Prayer is very powerful, and we should imitate Christ, who lived a life of prayer.

"we have the fire , who has the matches" ...if you have the fire, why would you need the damn matches.

@@rodeogirl135473 maybe try singing something from nightwish?
this song sounds awesome to listen to but to actually play it urself is a whole other level of amazing

Oh yes yes who else was on the list? Was a band called Red? I bet Skillet was there somewhere if not that list stinks.
@@KellehNikole agreed. Red and Skillet are some very good Christian rock bands.
This is one of my favorite TFK songs ever! I love this so much!
I know of all of those bands, he is right my friend
Am I the only one who thinks that the normal version is better than the nightcore?
I honestly think it's equal but the original is my favorite right now.
Ant m Same
8bitnerd I just don't really like nightcore, so I'm more than just slightly biased
8bitnerd You know listening to nightcore is like listening to your favourite song just 20-30% faster?
Pavle Belic true but to keep their vid and account from being shut down the are supposed to remix the song in some way.
I like Thousand Foot Krutch. They are an awesome Christian band!
Can't stop listening to this song
God is our strength, without Him we are nothing and don't you forget that. EVER

Every one of their songs is amazing, and I only found them a week ago!
Who's watching this in 2016
2017
Awesome song! :)
it's "I'm not one to scatter ashes" not "I'm not one to scare the masses"
The one who learns Actually it's not one to scatter masses
Krystal Daneilson I clearly hear a 'sh' sound where 'ss' in masses would be. There's also another mistake in the lyrics a little before that
The one who learns
I think where the confusion is, is that at one part it sounds like they are saying masses instead of ashes and vice versa
Krystal Daneilson When it says "sea of masks" it's actually "sea of masses"
The "scare the masses" is actually "scatter ashes".
"I'm not one to scatter ashes
But there's some things that melt the plastic" is a verse that appears twice, plus one at the end.
This is something that, it might just be me, I hear clearly.
I think I misinterpreted what you said.
The one who learns 0:29 is ashes. 1:34 they say masses
edit: nvm
Love this song
I knew I shouldn't have listened to this straight after the Nightcore version... seems so damn slow in comparison.
laresistance4 wait till you hear the comparison from get out alive and never surrender.
But Nightcore sucks, no problem man :).
OMG! I love this song so much! TFK is my favorite band!
I went and listened to the nightcore version and that was one of the more stupid things I've heard. I guess if you like singing chipmunks you'd be a fan?! Idk, not my thing.
+Ninja Man You obviously didn't find good nightcore, but hey it's your opinion. Maybe later you'll find a good version of nightcore.
Maybe
Reziik How can you find a 'good version' of Nightcore? It's literally the song sped up.
It's remixing, bad nightcore-ers (?) just speed it up whereas good ones do a lot more.
I don't really listen to it much anymore though.
Good version of Nightcore? That's the stupidiest joke i have ever heard, it just sucks ass, that's all lol.
This band always leaves me speechless 😶
"I'm not okay"
I found the line that describes me with math.......
