"I'm waiting for someone to save me, but no one ever comes." This song has always punched me in the gut as i have dealt with depression from little to no foundational love. I had to learn how to be a man myself and smile at others. When i think of Ivan, i think of how we can help others get through the day by cheering people up, instead of making others' days worse. Thank you for helping so many people have an outlet to get out of the cage that holds them
Welcome Brother! You have arrived! May the rest of your journey be blessed with the same level of striving as you gain the flexibility and grace of a Katana, the mature masculine.
My son waited to be saved. He died Oct 6th 2023. He was 45 years old with kids. He came to me to care for him while the disease ravaged his body. He had ALS.
I don’t believe that I have ever heard a more accurate cry from the state of man without a real relationship with God. Fantastic expression of a heart empty of the love that only Jesus can provide. God, knowing this, opened the door for us, paid the greatest price, and said come unto me all who are weary and heavy burdened. And I will give you rest.
Another sun sets down behind me, another day comes crashing in There's a whispering wind that's blowing, there's a storm that's closing in I can hear the trains they're rolling to a place I've never been And I can feel her breath beside me with an empty glass of gin As the darkness settles in, I can hear her voice again I can hear your voice again Waiting for someone to save me but everyone just runs away Waiting for someone to change me but no one ever comes I'm breaking down the walls that cage me but nothing ever falls in place Waiting for the end to take me, blinded by the sun All the ghosts that live inside me always waiting in the wind I can see through my reflection, what I've become and what I've been You see, your Heaven doesn't want me and your Hell won't let me in It's like I'm holding all the aces but I know I'll never win Waiting for someone to save me but everyone just runs away Waiting for someone to change me but no one ever comes I'm breaking down the walls that cage me but nothing ever falls in place Waiting for the end to take me, blinded by the sun You can take it away, tear it all down Spit in my face, pushed to the ground Look what I've become! I've fallen from grace, bloodied and bound Taking up space, lost and I'm found! Look what I've become! (Instrumental break) I can hear the snakes they're winding Singing songs of pain and sin There's an anger overflowing From this empty glass of gin As the darkness settles in And this darkness settles in Waiting for someone to save me but everyone just runs away Waiting for someone to change me but no one ever comes I'm breaking down the walls that cage me but nothing ever falls in place Waiting for the end to take me, blinded by the sun (You can take it away!) And the darkness settled in (You can take it away!) And the darkness settled in! As the darkness settles in...
May 2020, my wife had a stroke and had to have surgery. I couldn't be there due to covid, I listened to this song on repeat to get me thru the pain. She is all well now, thank God and thank FFPD for a song that got me thru my personal pain. Ivan, you and the guys are amazing and thank you for music that hits the soul. I am forever grateful.
That sir is a true working miracle of Gods work. I wouldn't know how to act if that was me in your shoes! I love my wife to death!! Thanks for sharing.
As a 67 year old school biker who has been rocking since Woodstock , these cats will go down in rock history as classic ! Its not if but when . their music is from the soul and their talent is as good as anyone out there today.
Bro, we will all (fans) ensure they will be remembered, well deserved in fact. It takes a God (whom ever you feel is God) given talent to touch souls like this. Keep on two wheels and safe bro.
I absolutely LOVE this band. As a Veteran with P.T.S.D. they seem to be able to get inside my head and put my thoughts into words. The Tragic Truth is the BEST example of this. Keep it coming Ivan
Yes! Saw them Live and they put on one helluva show. I’m happy & sad about Ivan’s decision to retire. I’m happy for him to be able to spend more time with his beautiful daughter and steadfast wife, but I’m sad that I’ll never be able to see them Live again or hear new tracks. Much Love & Light from one 5FDP lifelong fan to another. 🔥🔥😎
FFDP I have listened to since the bleeding hit my ears one day, and I looked up all their songs and kept listening over the years. I have been lucky enough to see them in concert a couple times. As someone with a troubled past and a Veteran, their music has helped me through so much pain and darkness. There are more times than I can count when my darkness has settled in, if anything this band has helped me through my life so many times. Your music is true art and inspiration and helps many of us cope with pain and much more so thank you for everything you do.
Keep pushing man, I'm not a vet but we all have our problems and pain, lets all push on cause God knows we need to for our families, friends and ourselves.

I found these guys back in high school. That was back in 2007-2008. Nobody knew who they were at the time. But now they're one of the greatest bands around. It's amazing how things change
And now they have one of the best guitarists in the world right now so I really can't wait to hear what their next album will sound like with this guy on it m.th-cam.com/video/T6rTZFr4ecU/w-d-xo.html

I am right there with you. I am retired Army and I attempted suicide on 7/31/23 as the demons known as PTSD, Anxiety and Depression beat me and I lost a life long brother and fellow Army Vet via suicide thanks to the same demons. I appreciate your service brother and thank you FFDP
The man is honest. Like me speakers from the heart ❤️. There's not one song I don't love and listen to every day. Damn God bless him and the band for the truth and getting me through the day again
@@ivanmoodyghost3381I have heard many bands in my time but, I must say yours is the best honestly. I listen you you guys every single day. I love that you give your all. You have made me cry smile laugh made me think of my life past and present.Please keep up the good work in what you have successfully done.Happy sobriety anniversary be proud of yourself as much as we are of youI love you man. ❤ March 8 the day your life changed. ❤❤❤❤
Ivan ........your voice is haunting.........I feel some of your pain in my head......please don't stop doing what your doing.....you keep some of us sane.
Замечательная банда, голос Айвана воодушевляет/впечатляет, равно как и текст песен! Дай Бог здоровья всей группе, и воодушевления должного каждому слушателю сих ребят!
This song reminds me of my baby brother John. He was and will always be a Marine. I'd have given my life for his, but we all know we have no choice in some matters. RIP John. You are missed
God is merciful and through his only begotten son, we need not pay the price for sin but just ask that we be forgiven, and never make the same mistake again. ❤❤❤
Watch his hand gestures but pay attention to the lyrics at the time. This guy throws out satanic gestures whilst singing satanic lyrics. Clearly done in this track! I really like the band but there is so much symbolism that it's quite shocking. Do any of you guys even know what the red hand really symbolises!??
Ghost/demons hurt. Skeletons in a closet make us who were are- but they don't bite us anymore. Letting go & letting God. Pray you find the peace & love she offered you.
My mother passed away November 13th 2021. I'm glad she's at her peace, however the darkness has definitely settled within me. Inspiring tracks like this make me want to understand the feeling of writing/composing/performing music more in-depth. To know the feeling of playing in front of a crowd is one thing I will work towards, maybe then I'll cross off being able to travel this beautiful planet of ours before meeting my mother again.
Sorry 2 hear about your Mom. Try 2 do what makes you happy. If anyone can do something they enjoy there's No stopping them. Don't give up but a lot goes into writing/Music-Scripts. Only Need 1 hit 2 Get a Pin. It's luck of the draw, pour everything into it if it's a true passion. Ive had my heart in the BiZ My Whole Life and I've made a few and helped anyone that's willing 2 Put there all
Legitimately one of the best bands of all time. If you aren't a FFDP fan, get on it. You got 8 amazing albums to listen to and our doors are always open for more knuckleheads. 🤘
“You see your heaven doesn’t want me, and your hell won’t let me in, it’s like I’m holding all the aces but I know I’ll never win.” ... my hair stood up when I heard that lyric. Not my favorite song on the album... but by far my favorite line. Still sad Hook is gone....
Hell & the Lake of Fire is welcome to all who deny Jesus and follow Lucifer (willingly or not) as Heaven is open to all who have faith in Jesus and repent. The only difference is which side do you choose? Fence sitting just ends you up in Hell to note. Choose your side wisely as it will be for eternity in MY OPINION. Best of so-said LUCK to all as this world is losing it's damn mind. BUT FROM MY END IT SEEMS IT'S BASICALLY THE GLOBALISTS VS THE "ACTUAL" CHRISTIANS and any that stand with us at this point and time. If you don't understand what Globalism is then you have no clue what is going on in this world at large, FULL STOP. That being said Globalism is World Slavery by the so-called "elite" for those that are still behind the curve. Note: This is my extended "opinion" as it's my "opinion" that we are entering the so-called "End of Days" better known in the Bible as the "7 Year Tribulation" time frame. Only time will tell.
@@FrakDaPirates sorry to break it to you but none of what you say has any facts or reality backing it up, to people who don’t share your religious obsession you’re just talking like a crazy guy.
Getting sober has been the hardest thing I've done in my life. My mom passed away 2 years ago and we loved the music and played it loud. I continue the tradition. But the music yall make is the biggest help. I am now and forever a knuckle head. Love you all!!!
Thank you for your service ❤ As you might already know, the band members are huge supporters of Veterans. I do hope you get to see them live. All the best ❤😃
Me too. I accidentally found out about this music group on TH-cam 7 months ago since then can’t stop listening their music, the more I do the more I fall in love with group. I just hope and pray I be able to attend to their concert.
My oldest son loved FFDP and this song was one of his favorite. And my favorite too. My son died in October and we played this song in church at his funeral ❤️❤️ It would be my biggest experience to see them in concert. FFDP are a great band and their music and lyrics really moves me ❤️
They are probably more older 40n 50s at the show than 20s. But its awesome when the older crowd brings they kids n grandkids. Its the future and ivan preaches this at every show !
Thanks for your comments. I really appreciate the love you showed on me. You seems to be a very nice person to me and I’ll like keep you updated with my plans..kindly hit me a direct message on Telegram @official_ivanmoody
I'm a Marine. I have taught all of my black dogs Lakota Sioux Indian. And I was praying for you and everyone. He jumped the gate during this thunder storm to check on me. There are protectors out here!
One of the greatest gifts my boyfriend ever gave me was to introduce me to FFDP and the intense and deeply moving vocals of Ivan Moody. Can't explain how much this band has helped me through some dark times recently.
Let me know when you break up with him. I'm kidding lol. Welcome to amazing music that actually talks to your soul. Whatever you do.... don't listen to Shinedown live or Cory Taylor live. You're not ready for that. Stay away from Seether black honey. Welcome to the feels music. Glad to have ya and have fun exploring. Let us know if you need more recommendations
@@buymypillow3454 Oh I am already a huge fan of Shinedown, first time I heard their cover of Simple Man my heart cracked open and I cried like a baby. I always loved the original from Lynyrd Skynyrd but their stripped down version of just the acoustic guitar and his vocals is just out of this world incredible. I also like Seether though I am not as familiar. Most of my musical taste comes from my Dad an old school Biker who likes his classic rock and my Boyfriend who loves his Heavy Metal and newer stuff.
This song hits me from inside. This band always knows how to impress me. Trying to keep the darkness from setting in is the hardest thing to overcome. Thank you FFDP for always keeping it real and loving all your true fans.
Im a Vet and it sounds like EVERY FFDP song was written for me and all Vets! Listen to NEVER FORGET! THE VETS THEME SONG ABOUT THE STUFF WE CARRY AROUND EVERY DAY!!
"It's like i'm holding all the aces, but i know i'll never win" Do you realise how powerful it is? And not only the lyrics, but the acting. At the end of the sentence Ivan (vocals, in case you don't know) puts his hands over the head and open them. To me, it means that he's wearing a joker's hat, and you know what? joker cards are not used to play... he's an empty card, he can't win because he is not in the game, he CAN'T BE there. This is ... poetry
I LOVE your interpretation. Buuuuut, there are plenty of card games where the joker is indeed used as a valid playing card. Often, it's inserted as a *wild* card- and given any damn value you wish to give it :P what these lyrics mean to me, is that he's incredibly lucky!! ( I mean... how often do you get dealt FOUR aces. I'd go ALL IN, wouldn't you??? ) well, if HIS luck, is anything like MY luck, the guy across from me, has the straight flush. So the lyrics to me, mean, no matter how good you think you've got it. Someone else has always got it better than you. And that goes for every being in existence. EVEN GOD! There's always a bigger fish my friends. It is the way. :P Rock Superstar Syndrome is hard to, detox from. But these guys have done it!! They sing music from the sinner's soul! "I'm not bad, I'm just drawn that way." Hells Angels.
nice interpretation, but tbh i think youre reaching incredibly far. while ivan definitely can deliver some lyrics with hints of poetic intent, i wouldnt venture to give him THAT much credit. nonethless, a badass song.
@@wanderlust6983 WHOA buddy are you suggesting that Ivan doesn't know how to play poker? c'mon buddy, those lyrics don't work under any other conditions. answer me, for REAL, how in the FUQ you could lose with four aces in your hand, at a game of poker??? there is a way... you'll have to google it if you don't know. (i did) and once you find out, pretend for a moment, that life, is a "game" of DOGS PLAYING POKER - C'mon now!! dood. I'm gonna hafta to forfeit your deathpunch ticket.... :P (just kiddin')
I'm just so happy to see Andy James in this line-up. He's probably one of the best melodic shredders on the planet at the moment.He's a monster,a fkn genius!
You may love 5fdp or hate them,..the song lyrics and their own sound makes them my favourite band. Liked them from the first time I heard them so many years ago
I am a disabled Veteran and would love to see them in concert but I am afraid audience would be too much for my service dog and I. Their music makes me want to survive now and not be defeated
I've seen them and you have nothing to worry about. The audience had some of the best people I ever met. At one point, Ivan asked the audience to hug any vets that were near them and there were so many people who did. It was beautiful. Thank you for your service. We owe you a debt that can never be repaid.
I only found this band a year or so ago, and I think their music and the message's within were a catalyst to seek help for my (now diagnosed) PTSD. I truly believe they may have quite literally saved my life. So thank you for that.
Я из россии,услышал эту группу год назад когда умер мой отец,плюс у меня шизофрения,эти ребята всегда своими песнями вытаскивали меня с того света при срывах.Дай бог им здоровья и процветания!!!
I don't usually listen to metal, but heard this on the radio a couple of months ago and had to see who sang it. Having suffered from depression and anxiety my whole life, then my wife dying 7 months ago, I feel this song deeply. The melody and the lyrics really hit home for me. I've never felt so lonely or depressed in my life, and some days I don't want to go on, anymore. Songs like this really seem to understand me, even when most people don't.
Nah I'm fine, for me acoustic versions are almost always underwhelming compared to the original. Especially here since it's such a masterpiece, I highly doubt an acoustic version is needed. Would listen to it at least once if they released it tho
Save yourself but find help. As far as acoustic.. The words stand and many versions would rule! As does this one here... I've been to hell and back. Various times. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger! Are you strong enough yet!!?! You are responsible! I listened to help loud. Others listen(ed) differently. Messages can be delivered many times and intensities! Believe and live that and find your saving the way you find it... JS Among the messengers some are still around that I heard. We have buried many to. What happens is your choice! Choose wisely!
As a combat veteran I’ve struggled for 32 years to come to terms with myself and the things I had to do for “God and country” and all that other B.S. I was told as a raw recruit. Don’t get me wrong I love my country and if asked I would do it all over again because of my love for U.S.A. because it’s the greatest country in the world but the lack of support Uncle Sam shows it’s fighting veterans is sad. The support FFDP has for the warriors of our nation is awesome and the lyrics hit home like a 1000 pounder dropped from 30,000 feet and hitting the bullseye. Im an Army grunt and boots on the ground is what wins wars and FFDP has helped me and I’m hoping helped many others like me to realize that there are a larger group of people out there that REALLY do appreciate our sacrifices. Keep up the good work men because it is helping me and I hope others like me as well. Y’all have that kick their a$$ and take firetrucking names later attitude that it takes to win wars. Hats off and a salute to all of you!!! HOO RAH!
I love your voice is calming and your writing notes are extra extraordinary , rhythm and meaning hit home run in my ball park stadium ripplied mind , F.F.D.P drummer is So wow when he weaves, I love your band ,I hope and pray all the money you spend on your videos and every drop of sweat that drops off you and your band are triple in profits, You'll never really know how much you have earned in proceeds because words in your song's touch our hurting hearts ,Closest cuts that match your cuts is well know to much to both of you and your Fans , IAM a Cut that you have stop the bleeding of my Lost brother ,Sorry your Appearance is So close it hurts in a good and acceptable way ,all your trouble tunes are too close to home,You cause the Hurts too be formed into unbelievable feeling of goodness thankful going through in a powerful reenactment ,this time it felt like freedom ,Your voice sounds your there with us going through it all together, It doesn't hurt anymore ,It feel great , IAM happy your rich doing it, God bless you and all your band members, Triple blessing,...
I feel that way a lot since God my soulmate home... I have my daughters and grandchildren and great grandchildren.. But they can’t fill the void inside of me
@@patriciaspires5450 I used to feel the same way I went thru hell as a child and grew up broken even when I met the woman who has been here for me thru it all I still couldn't control my pain inside I still get deeply depressed but I got my first motorcycle in 2018 and it changed my life sounds dumb but anytime I went on a ride on my bike in the country roads alone I feel free and Alive . When your on the road your mind goes blank your so focused on just riding and you also just enjoy the scenery around you . I hope you can find a hobby that will help you cope
@@Califunk like that! Glad you found something! I work in my Serenity Garden.. called if my memorial garden in honor of my soulmate after God called him home. But I realize when out there just pulling weeds my mind goes totally blank about everything and when I get finished I feel renewed 😋
That’s not what Jesus says, so Idk what he’s talking about... Jesus is long suffering and willing for no man to perish. Remember the thief on the cross. :)
@@rikkileigh the singer talks about Heaven and hell and you complain when religious people show up and have to give something to say because it’s strictly in their ball park? Give me a break.
Man did I even not realize how much I needed this group of artists so much in my life. I listen, i mean really listen to so much and varied music- trust me I have a wide range of likes and this...this BAND speaks so loudly and clearly to my inner being and they actually rest my soul. I'm telling you all, seriously, daily I listen to several songs but top of the list is "A Little Bit Off Today" "Wrong Side of Heaven" of others at least three times....daily. Finding new ones every week I love to hear over and over as well. These guys are GODS for the human soul.
That is a hell of a generalization your making, and suggests metal is only for damaged/struggling people, which seems like a horrible and unrealistic suggestion.
God wants all of us no matter the past. You just have to truly accept the gift of jesus christ. Not to sound preachy but felt like I needed to write this.
@@michaelwilliamsjr7512 god doesn't want all of us because if that were true hell wouldn't exist in the Bible, sinners wouldn't be punished and he wouldn't have made rules for you to follow to get into heaven
@@romainvincent8918 I’ve killed, been shot at, been spit on, stabbed at, had people try to kick my ass, been overseas I’m a paramedic on our GREAT COUNTRY! trust in your Lord and savior. I’m living proof that he wants you to be better.
Show me someone who doesn’t pray and I’ll show you a person who has never put their life on the line. Trust me when I tell you this; when bullets are flying towards you, you find GOD & Jesus really, really, really fast!
You will always be my favorite your voice and songs have helped me through so much I'll be a 90 year old women jamming to five finger death punch love this song and video

OK, I've introduced you to my wife, our church piano player, and she LOVES you guys. She doesn't care for the language in some songs, but she loves the music, Ivan's vocals, how TIGHT you guys are, and that you support so many causes that we both believe in. I give talks to local churches about veteran care, homelessness, and suicide, and I've used your songs as illustration. I'm just a middle-aged, half-heathen redneck, but I've played guitar and bass since I was 7 years old, and y'all are among the best I've heard, and the most honest! Thank you from a lifetime fan!

#lyrics# Another sun sets down behind me Another day comes crashing in There's a whispering wind that's blowing There's a storm that's closing in I can hear the trains, they're rolling To a place I've never been And I can feel her breath beside me With an empty glass of gin As the darkness settles in I can hear her voice again I can hear your voice again Waiting for someone to save me But everyone just runs away Waiting for someone to change me But no one ever comes I'm breaking down the walls that cage me But nothing ever falls in place Waiting for the end to take me Blinded by the sun All the ghosts that live inside me Always waiting in the wind I can see through my reflection What I've become and what I've been You see, your Heaven doesn't want me And your Hell won't let me in It's like I'm holding all the aces But I know I'll never win Waiting for someone to save me But everyone just runs away Waiting for someone to change me But no one ever comes I'm breaking down the walls that cage me But nothing ever falls in place Waiting for the end to take me Blinded by the sun You can take it away, tear it all down Spit in my face, pushed to the ground Look what I've become I've fallen from grace, bloodied and bound Taking up space, lost and I'm found Look what I've become I can hear the snakes, they're winding Singing songs of pain and sin There's an anger overflowing From this empty glass of gin As the darkness settles in And the darkness settles in Waiting for someone to save me But everyone just runs away Waiting for someone to change me But no one ever comes I'm breaking down the walls that cage me But nothing ever falls in place Waiting for the end to take me Blinded by the sun And the darkness settles in (You can take it away) And the darkness settles in (You can take it away) As the darkness settles in
Wow. I heard this on the radio and had to grab Shazam to see who these guys were! Powerful lyrics! Powerful vocals! Great tones! This song is a hit and I've worked with platinum selling artists before.
Sir, I want to thank you for the videos and your support of our troops. I happened across your videos on TH-cam and I am very impressed with your range and talent. I am a retired service member who served 23 years. In that time I severed two combat tours in Iraq (2003 and 2005) with the 101st and the Panama invasion in 1989 (2-27IN Wolfhounds - 7ID). Watching your Bad Company and Wrong Side of Heaven videos brought back so many memories and brought up so many feelings. I am fortunate that I never had to fire my weapon, but I know of people who died during each of my times deployed and I think of them every Memorial Day and Veteran’s Day. Please continue to support our troops. Best regards and thank you. CW4(R) Michael G.
FFDP is the greatest American band right now. They never bow down, they love military and police,,they are the heaviest, baddest band on 🌎 right now. Well deserved.
PTSD or Complex PTSD in the lyrics is what some of us hear and see, thank you! It's almost a 80% feeling in the lyrics. Many of us are vets and many of us is traumatized from extreme things that happened to us. Thank you FFPD for all the songs your band have given us. From the US, CA, EU, SCAN, UK etc soldiers, firefighters, police forces, civil forces, moms and dads, and victims of insane violence, torture, cancer victims and traffic accidences and so on, all over the freaking world. We are So many, and you, as a band, put lyrics and music into our words and feelings of sorrow and grief. You stand up for us and we will never forget it! We Are One Together. We, thank you! (Let us all just be humble for being alive)...I am sorry for my english. I am not english..
I’m not a veteran but have some minor PTSD from head trauma and have been crying pretty hard listening to this song for the first time and reading these comments. I am comforted by the fact that so many others get a similar emotional feeling from this song. It brings me back to hard struggles but makes me so glad to have kept going. Merely surviving is one thing but to reintegrate into a normal state of mind and reconnect with society is harder. Very worth it but not easy.
I HOPE ALL OF YOU AMAZING PEOPLE ARE HAVING A GREAT DAY. AND IF YOU'RE NOT, LISTEN TO THIS SONG AGAIN. WE'RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER. STAY STRONG EVERYONE
Indominus Zero you are not alone ✌🏻💚 something that helps me is “do something today, that will make you happy tomorrow” (even if it’s just doing the dishes etc.) it really helps me, I hope you can use that too 😊
Ivan is so emotional and powerful in this song!! ❤
Yeah. From Norway. Love IT.❤

"Everything flows, out and in; everything has its tides; all things rise and fall; the pendulum-swing manifests in everything; the measure of the swing to the right is the measure of the swing to the left; rhythm compensates."[9]
6. The principle of cause and effect
"Every cause has its effect; every effect has its cause; everything happens according to law; chance is but a name for law not recognized; there are many planes of causation, but nothing escapes the law."[10]
7. The principle of gender
"Gender is in everything; everything has its masculine and feminine principles; gender manifests on all planes. "

"I'm waiting for someone to save me, but no one ever comes."
This song has always punched me in the gut as i have dealt with depression from little to no foundational love. I had to learn how to be a man myself and smile at others. When i think of Ivan, i think of how we can help others get through the day by cheering people up, instead of making others' days worse. Thank you for helping so many people have an outlet to get out of the cage that holds them
@@unicornofhope8226 to power to the misfits we all found our home the home of FFDP ❤
On this small place, in the big space and time. I actual love you.
Welcome Brother! You have arrived! May the rest of your journey be blessed with the same level of striving as you gain the flexibility and grace of a Katana, the mature masculine.
My son waited to be saved. He died Oct 6th 2023. He was 45 years old with kids. He came to me to care for him while the disease ravaged his body. He had ALS.

I don’t believe that I have ever heard a more accurate cry from the state of man without a real relationship with God. Fantastic expression of a heart empty of the love that only Jesus can provide. God, knowing this, opened the door for us, paid the greatest price, and said come unto me all who are weary and heavy burdened. And I will give you rest.
RIP JONES
YOUR ALWAYS HERE THREW THESE SONGS
Hello, how are you doing? Nice meeting you here....
Another sun sets down behind me, another day comes crashing in
There's a whispering wind that's blowing, there's a storm that's closing in
I can hear the trains they're rolling to a place I've never been
And I can feel her breath beside me with an empty glass of gin
As the darkness settles in, I can hear her voice again
I can hear your voice again
Waiting for someone to save me but everyone just runs away
Waiting for someone to change me but no one ever comes
I'm breaking down the walls that cage me but nothing ever falls in place
Waiting for the end to take me, blinded by the sun
All the ghosts that live inside me always waiting in the wind
I can see through my reflection, what I've become and what I've been
You see, your Heaven doesn't want me and your Hell won't let me in
It's like I'm holding all the aces but I know I'll never win
Waiting for someone to save me but everyone just runs away
Waiting for someone to change me but no one ever comes
I'm breaking down the walls that cage me but nothing ever falls in place
Waiting for the end to take me, blinded by the sun
You can take it away, tear it all down
Spit in my face, pushed to the ground
Look what I've become!
I've fallen from grace, bloodied and bound
Taking up space, lost and I'm found!
Look what I've become!
(Instrumental break)
I can hear the snakes they're winding
Singing songs of pain and sin
There's an anger overflowing
From this empty glass of gin
As the darkness settles in
And this darkness settles in
Waiting for someone to save me but everyone just runs away
Waiting for someone to change me but no one ever comes
I'm breaking down the walls that cage me but nothing ever falls in place
Waiting for the end to take me, blinded by the sun
(You can take it away!) And the darkness settled in
(You can take it away!) And the darkness settled in!
As the darkness settles in...
Thank you, random lyrics guy. We appreciate you
Thanks, bro
Thanks
Thank you 😊
May 2020, my wife had a stroke and had to have surgery. I couldn't be there due to covid, I listened to this song on repeat to get me thru the pain. She is all well now, thank God and thank FFPD for a song that got me thru my personal pain. Ivan, you and the guys are amazing and thank you for music that hits the soul. I am forever grateful.
If you like them, you should listen to a band called Demon Hunter, Carry Me Down and Dead Flowers :)
Glad your wife is ok now. Take care internet stranger

I'm 65 and love this band. Keep on rocking.
Hey l’m 70 and adore this band FFDP and l’m a woman
62 kicks Metallica ass
67 here.
As a 67 year old school biker who has been rocking since Woodstock , these cats will go down in rock history as classic ! Its not if but when . their music is from the soul and their talent is as good as anyone out there today.
I can truly feel the emotion when listening to their music.
Bro, we will all (fans) ensure they will be remembered, well deserved in fact. It takes a God (whom ever you feel is God) given talent to touch souls like this. Keep on two wheels and safe bro.
I'm with you brother!
Rubber side down my man...
Keep on rocking outlaw!
im 64 and this band are great
I've cried myself to sleep more nights than I can tell...
Your music brings a peace of mind to me. Thank you for what you do. Music is my therapy
Much love to you bud. Hope everybody finds peace.
Music saved my life too, brother. Best of luck to you. Music indeed is therapy
me too
I absolutely LOVE this band. As a Veteran with P.T.S.D. they seem to be able to get inside my head and put my thoughts into words. The Tragic Truth is the BEST example of this. Keep it coming Ivan

FFDP has some of the hardest hitting lyrics that hit home w everyone.
Yes! Saw them Live and they put on one helluva show. I’m happy & sad about Ivan’s decision to retire. I’m happy for him to be able to spend more time with his beautiful daughter and steadfast wife, but I’m sad that I’ll never be able to see them Live again or hear new tracks. Much Love & Light from one 5FDP lifelong fan to another. 🔥🔥😎
Also, Moody's voice makes them even better... ooofff
Yes they have...
You are fuckin cool to say that because I was wondering if there were anyone that felt the same
See I am or have been trying to get with Ivan on some shit but got bullshited by an impersonator.
I am an old school 50 year old metal head from back in the day, and I love FFDP. One of my favorite bands of last 14 years. Keep rocking guys.
Me too
Me three. Just turned 50 and still a HUGE 5FDP fan!!!
@@tazzi6269 awesome seen them live several times and met the band a couple of times
Same
52 this year have liked these guys a while... and now just found "Chaoseum" also pretty awesome band.
Ivan seems much more healthy and in peace with his life since he became sober. A new era is rising 🤘
And he really shows emotions when he sings and screams, I can hear that well
because He Apologized 😉
Fuck ya im proud of him I dm'd him on IG months ago and he liked it🤘❤
Alcohol free alcohol ppl 👌👍
Alcohol is never the solution
FFDP I have listened to since the bleeding hit my ears one day, and I looked up all their songs and kept listening over the years. I have been lucky enough to see them in concert a couple times. As someone with a troubled past and a Veteran, their music has helped me through so much pain and darkness. There are more times than I can count when my darkness has settled in, if anything this band has helped me through my life so many times. Your music is true art and inspiration and helps many of us cope with pain and much more so thank you for everything you do.
Keep pushing man, I'm not a vet but we all have our problems and pain, lets all push on cause God knows we need to for our families, friends and ourselves.
Love

I know PTSD too, since Afgha, Allassay Valley 2010, I recover with 5FDP, just I try not to drink...
this song speaks to me too
I found these guys back in high school. That was back in 2007-2008. Nobody knew who they were at the time. But now they're one of the greatest bands around. It's amazing how things change
That kinda going a little over the top they great and all but I won't say there the greatest band ever
@@xLatinAssazzin I never said they're the greatest band ever
And now they have one of the best guitarists in the world right now so I really can't wait to hear what their next album will sound like with this guy on it m.th-cam.com/video/T6rTZFr4ecU/w-d-xo.html
I was on deployment 07-08 listening to them. They should be the greatest band because they put out hit after hit
I knew the very first time I heard The Bleeding that these guys were gonna be around for awhile
To each their own, but this is one of the best bands ever in my opinion. Ivan's vocal range is just awe- inspiring
I think David Draymond of disturbed is better
The only metal band close is Slipknot
They are wildly underrated too!
Not even close but a decent band.

Hello, how are you doing? Nice meeting you here....
I am right there with you. I am retired Army and I attempted suicide on 7/31/23 as the demons known as PTSD, Anxiety and Depression beat me and I lost a life long brother and fellow Army Vet via suicide thanks to the same demons. I appreciate your service brother and thank you FFDP
He has the most unique awesome voice , I love these guys . This movie was really good , I watched more than once, I really liked it .

So glad this singer pulled through when he stopped using alcohol, damn sure don't wanna lose you man. PROUD OF YOUR WORK AND TALENT and love it!❤

Love the passion and drive in every song!
I swear, they don't have a single bad song. Saw them live. It was amazing 👏
Me too
Me 3 yes they were amazing
agreed, not a singe song from them that i would dislike or not listen to
I'm jealous 😂
This song reminds me of my baby brother John. He was and will always be a Marine. I'd have given my life for his, but we all know we have no choice in some matters. RIP John. You are missed
Sorry for that

Hello, how are you doing? Nice meeting you here...
I love Ivan's hand gestures. It shows how passionate he is about his music.
I noticed that too.
I was just thinking the same thing. He is very interesting to watch.
This is a great song with a great vocal!!!!
Watch his hand gestures but pay attention to the lyrics at the time. This guy throws out satanic gestures whilst singing satanic lyrics. Clearly done in this track!
I really like the band but there is so much symbolism that it's quite shocking. Do any of you guys even know what the red hand really symbolises!??
Either that, or he's Italian...
The haters can hate, but you are simply a masterful vocalist. Almost don’t even need that microphone because it’s so damn powerful.
Amazing voice! I love it!
I think the haters have 0 clue where the lyrics are actually about
@@marsha4253 no they just complain about how all the songs sound the same. Idc if they do, I love and can relate to most their songs

Hello, how are you doing? Nice meeting you here....
My mother passed away November 13th 2021. I'm glad she's at her peace, however the darkness has definitely settled within me. Inspiring tracks like this make me want to understand the feeling of writing/composing/performing music more in-depth. To know the feeling of playing in front of a crowd is one thing I will work towards, maybe then I'll cross off being able to travel this beautiful planet of ours before meeting my mother again.
May she rest well and know that you will be reunited one day until then may the music of FFDP keep you in a good place
U have all my prayers to bless your thoughts.. go ahead !! 🙏🏼😇
Sorry 2 hear about your Mom. Try 2 do what makes you happy. If anyone can do something they enjoy there's No stopping them. Don't give up but a lot goes into writing/Music-Scripts. Only Need 1 hit 2 Get a Pin. It's luck of the draw, pour everything into it if it's a true passion. Ive had my heart in the BiZ My Whole Life and I've made a few and helped anyone that's willing 2 Put there all
Legitimately one of the best bands of all time. If you aren't a FFDP fan, get on it. You got 8 amazing albums to listen to and our doors are always open for more knuckleheads. 🤘

“You see your heaven doesn’t want me, and your hell won’t let me in, it’s like I’m holding all the aces but I know I’ll never win.” ... my hair stood up when I heard that lyric. Not my favorite song on the album... but by far my favorite line. Still sad Hook is gone....
Twas a great line indeed!!!

Hell & the Lake of Fire is welcome to all who deny Jesus and follow Lucifer (willingly or not) as Heaven is open to all who have faith in Jesus and repent. The only difference is which side do you choose? Fence sitting just ends you up in Hell to note. Choose your side wisely as it will be for eternity in MY OPINION. Best of so-said LUCK to all as this world is losing it's damn mind. BUT FROM MY END IT SEEMS IT'S BASICALLY THE GLOBALISTS VS THE "ACTUAL" CHRISTIANS and any that stand with us at this point and time. If you don't understand what Globalism is then you have no clue what is going on in this world at large, FULL STOP. That being said Globalism is World Slavery by the so-called "elite" for those that are still behind the curve.
Note: This is my extended "opinion" as it's my "opinion" that we are entering the so-called "End of Days" better known in the Bible as the "7 Year Tribulation" time frame. Only time will tell.

Are u not 15 rn?
Same here. First song I listened to was Jekyll and Hyde, I was doing science homework. Never gone back! This is my favorite band
That is soooo interesting!
Actually they changed a lot their style,but to better at least for me,the messages now are way deeper and the clean sound reforce the voice of Ivan
i am a army veteran of 10 years spent most of my time in germany bosnia hungry etc would love too see these guys in concert they rock in my book
❤️❤️ I hope you get what you're looking for brother!
Thank you for your service ❤
As you might already know, the band members are huge supporters of Veterans. I do hope you get to see them live.
All the best ❤😃
Me too. I accidentally found out about this music group on TH-cam 7 months ago since then can’t stop listening their music, the more I do the more I fall in love with group. I just hope and pray I be able to attend to their concert.
They are AMAZING in concert, I hope you get to see them.

I'm old :smile: 60 and I discovered 5 Finger a few years ago! God Bless Ivan! Ivan this old WOMAN loves your music!
Ahhhh truly blessed Ivan is. I'm almost 63 & same, was hooked w/ their 1st song, The Bleeding. Haven't missed a song since!
My oldest son loved FFDP and this song was one of his favorite. And my favorite too. My son died in October and we played this song in church at his funeral ❤️❤️ It would be my biggest experience to see them in concert. FFDP are a great band and their music and lyrics really moves me ❤️
The lyrics hit so deep. Then to have the power of Ivan's voice belting it out, is the perfect storm.
They shpuldndona show and the perfect storm be opener for them
FFDP killed it with this song... Great band!!!!
First time I have LOVED music like this!!!
This is badass! FFDP just popped my cherry! Didn't know what I was missing!
This man's voice is a gift and I feel blessed to hear his message . Love Ivan and 5fpd for life !
I'm a 59 year old female, loved this band for many years, can't see that changing any time soon.
@Bram vH Yes I'm sure! I share account with hubby, he doesn't mind cos he's a fan as well!
@Bram vH Why would you fake being a 59 year old female?Very weird assumption
They are probably more older 40n 50s at the show than 20s. But its awesome when the older crowd brings they kids n grandkids. Its the future and ivan preaches this at every show !

One of the greatest gifts my boyfriend ever gave me was to introduce me to FFDP and the intense and deeply moving vocals of Ivan Moody. Can't explain how much this band has helped me through some dark times recently.
Let me know when you break up with him. I'm kidding lol. Welcome to amazing music that actually talks to your soul. Whatever you do.... don't listen to Shinedown live or Cory Taylor live. You're not ready for that. Stay away from Seether black honey. Welcome to the feels music. Glad to have ya and have fun exploring. Let us know if you need more recommendations
@@buymypillow3454 Oh I am already a huge fan of Shinedown, first time I heard their cover of Simple Man my heart cracked open and I cried like a baby. I always loved the original from Lynyrd Skynyrd but their stripped down version of just the acoustic guitar and his vocals is just out of this world incredible. I also like Seether though I am not as familiar. Most of my musical taste comes from my Dad an old school Biker who likes his classic rock and my Boyfriend who loves his Heavy Metal and newer stuff.
Great Words !
@@Aphrael76 All of which are amazing bands.
FFDP carried me thru 2 tours n holds me up whenever I need support n understanding. They will never know how they saved me.
This song hits me from inside. This band always knows how to impress me. Trying to keep the darkness from setting in is the hardest thing to overcome. Thank you FFDP for always keeping it real and loving all your true fans.
Helps me deal with the darkness listening to their music they really understand mental illness and PTSD.
Im a Vet and it sounds like EVERY FFDP song was written for me and all Vets! Listen to NEVER FORGET! THE VETS THEME SONG ABOUT THE STUFF WE CARRY AROUND EVERY DAY!!
"It's like i'm holding all the aces, but i know i'll never win"
Do you realise how powerful it is? And not only the lyrics, but the acting. At the end of the sentence Ivan (vocals, in case you don't know) puts his hands over the head and open them. To me, it means that he's wearing a joker's hat, and you know what? joker cards are not used to play... he's an empty card, he can't win because he is not in the game, he CAN'T BE there.
This is ... poetry
aces* not ases, you're like one s from saying Ivan is holding a bunch of peoples asses lmao
You understood what so many ignore my friend! 🙏
I LOVE your interpretation. Buuuuut, there are plenty of card games where the joker is indeed used as a valid playing card. Often, it's inserted as a *wild* card- and given any damn value you wish to give it :P what these lyrics mean to me, is that he's incredibly lucky!! ( I mean... how often do you get dealt FOUR aces. I'd go ALL IN, wouldn't you??? ) well, if HIS luck, is anything like MY luck, the guy across from me, has the straight flush. So the lyrics to me, mean, no matter how good you think you've got it. Someone else has always got it better than you. And that goes for every being in existence. EVEN GOD! There's always a bigger fish my friends. It is the way. :P
Rock Superstar Syndrome is hard to, detox from. But these guys have done it!! They sing music from the sinner's soul! "I'm not bad, I'm just drawn that way." Hells Angels.
nice interpretation, but tbh i think youre reaching incredibly far. while ivan definitely can deliver some lyrics with hints of poetic intent, i wouldnt venture to give him THAT much credit. nonethless, a badass song.
@@wanderlust6983 WHOA buddy are you suggesting that Ivan doesn't know how to play poker? c'mon buddy, those lyrics don't work under any other conditions. answer me, for REAL, how in the FUQ you could lose with four aces in your hand, at a game of poker??? there is a way... you'll have to google it if you don't know. (i did) and once you find out, pretend for a moment, that life, is a "game" of DOGS PLAYING POKER - C'mon now!! dood. I'm gonna hafta to forfeit your deathpunch ticket.... :P (just kiddin')
No words can describe the volume of impact this song has on each individual. Through both the lyrics and melody.
When you hear It for the first time and then you keep replaying it because the song is bad ass!! FFDP 🤘🏼 Always has the best songs!!
Here too. I love it, it's my favorite at the same place as A Little Bit Off
Never thought a beautiful girl would like this type of music just saying
Out of the heart the mouth speaks. Jesus Christ paid the way. All sin was nailed to the Cross
Love how deep Ivan gets when he's singing.Heart felt face emotions and the high notes he hits!!!! Gives me chills. Love you guys❤🤘
Every now and again, a voice stands out in the crowd. Then back it up with an excellent band and our minds are blown!
Well said my friend
I'm just so happy to see Andy James in this line-up.
He's probably one of the best melodic shredders on the planet at the moment.He's a monster,a fkn genius!
He's bloody amazing, been a fan for a while now.
Andy James is a beast!!!! 😁
Omg Ivan’s voice is so beautiful, he has an amazing tone. So talented. Love this band! 💖
Мужики! Спасибо вам за ваше творчество! from Russia with love!
I’m 11 and my dad and I always listen to rock music together. One of my favorite songs is Wash it all Away (:
You may love 5fdp or hate them,..the song lyrics and their own sound makes them my favourite band. Liked them from the first time I heard them so many years ago
I am a disabled Veteran and would love to see them in concert but I am afraid audience would be too much for my service dog and I. Their music makes me want to survive now and not be defeated
Their audience is usually very caring at most shows. I don't think you'd have to worry.
Rebecca You can do it, God take care of you 🌹✌️
Reach out to the band, or the venue they will be at. They should/ will make accommodations for you!
Just don't be on the floor. Hope you try
I've seen them and you have nothing to worry about. The audience had some of the best people I ever met. At one point, Ivan asked the audience to hug any vets that were near them and there were so many people who did. It was beautiful. Thank you for your service. We owe you a debt that can never be repaid.
I only found this band a year or so ago, and I think their music and the message's within were a catalyst to seek help for my (now diagnosed) PTSD. I truly believe they may have quite literally saved my life. So thank you for that.
Mine too
Я из россии,услышал эту группу год назад когда умер мой отец,плюс у меня шизофрения,эти ребята всегда своими песнями вытаскивали меня с того света при срывах.Дай бог им здоровья и процветания!!!
This song couldn't describe my life in the last year any better than it already does....."as the darkness settles in"
@PAITYN MANN thanks
Same
I don't usually listen to metal, but heard this on the radio a couple of months ago and had to see who sang it.
Having suffered from depression and anxiety my whole life, then my wife dying 7 months ago, I feel this song deeply. The melody and the lyrics really hit home for me. I've never felt so lonely or depressed in my life, and some days I don't want to go on, anymore.
Songs like this really seem to understand me, even when most people don't.
After storms it is not rare to see rainbows. Hang on tight bud. It will be okay :)
❤You'll be ok in time,I promise.Just take each day as it comes,and try to focus on the good times you shared together x❤
Be strong, bro!
This song and there song tragic it's making me realize there's hope i don't have depend on something make mehappy i just started coming clean

I think I speak for everyone when I say that an acoustic version of this song would be 10/10, and is absolutely needed.
Nope...cant stand acoustic. I may be in the minority here, but u dont speak for everyone lol
Nah I'm fine, for me acoustic versions are almost always underwhelming compared to the original. Especially here since it's such a masterpiece, I highly doubt an acoustic version is needed. Would listen to it at least once if they released it tho
Hell yes
Save yourself but find help. As far as acoustic.. The words stand and many versions would rule! As does this one here...
I've been to hell and back. Various times. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger! Are you strong enough yet!!?! You are responsible!
I listened to help loud. Others listen(ed) differently. Messages can be delivered many times and intensities! Believe and live that and find your saving the way you find it... JS
Among the messengers some are still around that I heard. We have buried many to. What happens is your choice! Choose wisely!
Yes!!!
Evanescence and five finger death punch man the gods are blessing me..
When vocal perfectly fit with music. Ivan is such a good singer. He's got so interesting voice.
As a combat veteran I’ve struggled for 32 years to come to terms with myself and the things I had to do for “God and country” and all that other B.S. I was told as a raw recruit. Don’t get me wrong I love my country and if asked I would do it all over again because of my love for U.S.A. because it’s the greatest country in the world but the lack of support Uncle Sam shows it’s fighting veterans is sad. The support FFDP has for the warriors of our nation is awesome and the lyrics hit home like a 1000 pounder dropped from 30,000 feet and hitting the bullseye. Im an Army grunt and boots on the ground is what wins wars and FFDP has helped me and I’m hoping helped many others like me to realize that there are a larger group of people out there that REALLY do appreciate our sacrifices. Keep up the good work men because it is helping me and I hope others like me as well. Y’all have that kick their a$$ and take firetrucking names later attitude that it takes to win wars. Hats off and a salute to all of you!!! HOO RAH!
"I'm waiting for someone to save me, but everyone just runs away" this is one of my favorite lines ever made

Sometimes you can have everything, but still drown alone because nobody was there beside you
Amen!
I feel that way a lot since God my soulmate home... I have my daughters and grandchildren and great grandchildren.. But they can’t fill the void inside of me
@@patriciaspires5450 I used to feel the same way I went thru hell as a child and grew up broken even when I met the woman who has been here for me thru it all I still couldn't control my pain inside I still get deeply depressed but I got my first motorcycle in 2018 and it changed my life sounds dumb but anytime I went on a ride on my bike in the country roads alone I feel free and Alive . When your on the road your mind goes blank your so focused on just riding and you also just enjoy the scenery around you . I hope you can find a hobby that will help you cope
@@Califunk like that! Glad you found something! I work in my Serenity Garden.. called if my memorial garden in honor of my soulmate after God called him home. But I realize when out there just pulling weeds my mind goes totally blank about everything and when I get finished I feel renewed 😋
These things happen .
This too will pass .

Hope they help .
Who else is still listening to this great song in 2024?? ❤
Me.
Same here
For sure

Me....always ❤ 1:29
My dad used to tease me and say “Heaven won’t take you and hell’s afraid you’ll take over”! Wish he was still here.

Hey there. Hope you are doing well. Nice meeting you
@@kirstenornelas881 I'm good. I'm sure you must be surprise to receive a message from me right?
This line though...
“Your heaven doesn’t want me, and your hell won’t let me in...it’s like I’m holding all the aces but I know I’ll never win”
That’s not what Jesus says, so Idk what he’s talking about... Jesus is long suffering and willing for no man to perish. Remember the thief on the cross. :)
@@aheartonfire7191 exactly. Hell will gladly let anyone in lol. Sad people think this is some profound Lyrical statement lol

@@rikkileigh freedom of speech bruh 🤷🏼♀️
@@rikkileigh the singer talks about Heaven and hell and you complain when religious people show up and have to give something to say because it’s strictly in their ball park? Give me a break.
Five Finger Death Punch never disappoint.
Never
"You see, your Heaven doesn't want me and your Hell won't let me in"
Like damn dude, that's some good song writing.
It is based off a quote that has been going forever; "Heaven does not want me, and hell is afraid I will take over."
Man did I even not realize how much I needed this group of artists so much in my life. I listen, i mean really listen to so much and varied music- trust me I have a wide range of likes and this...this BAND speaks so loudly and clearly to my inner being and they actually rest my soul. I'm telling you all, seriously, daily I listen to several songs but top of the list is "A Little Bit Off Today" "Wrong Side of Heaven" of others at least three times....daily. Finding new ones every week I love to hear over and over as well. These guys are GODS for the human soul.
Sono pienamente d'accordo con te da quando li conosco Sono una band favolosa
Sono la mia suoneria 💯💢💥💥💥👍🤟
Am I the only one who gets the sense, that they miss performing live? This was very much on point..
Sooner or later we all experience the tragedies of life that makes us love metal.
That is soooo true
Been there for 12 years. I agree completely.
I feel personally attacked. But 100% true.
Aint that the sad, beautifully metallic truth
That is a hell of a generalization your making, and suggests metal is only for damaged/struggling people, which seems like a horrible and unrealistic suggestion.
One of the best songs off of an amazing album F8
Ivan’s voice is the best medicine I swear… my anxiety melts away.
Heard of and listened to ffdp about 7 years ago. Got me hooked and haven't turned back to any other bands. Love their songs
I am very grateful to this bands respect and reverence for first responders / and fighting soldiers. Good tributes.
"Heaven Doesn't Want Me And Hell Won't Let Me In "

Thats Exactly How I Feel
God wants all of us no matter the past. You just have to truly accept the gift of jesus christ. Not to sound preachy but felt like I needed to write this.
@@michaelwilliamsjr7512 god doesn't want all of us because if that were true hell wouldn't exist in the Bible, sinners wouldn't be punished and he wouldn't have made rules for you to follow to get into heaven
@@romainvincent8918 I’ve killed, been shot at, been spit on, stabbed at, had people try to kick my ass, been overseas I’m a paramedic on our GREAT COUNTRY! trust in your Lord and savior. I’m living proof that he wants you to be better.
Show me someone who doesn’t pray and I’ll show you a person who has never put their life on the line. Trust me when I tell you this; when bullets are flying towards you, you find GOD & Jesus really, really, really fast!

You will always be my favorite your voice and songs have helped me through so much I'll be a 90 year old women jamming to five finger death punch love this song and video
Thanks for your comment, i realky appriciate the love you showed on me you are all special to me.. kindly hit me a direct message on Telegram @official_ivanmoody
@@ivanmoody1374 FAKE!!!
It's 5FDP...never been let down yet! Let's get this concert season going!
OK, I've introduced you to my wife, our church piano player, and she LOVES you guys. She doesn't care for the language in some songs, but she loves the music, Ivan's vocals, how TIGHT you guys are, and that you support so many causes that we both believe in.
I give talks to local churches about veteran care, homelessness, and suicide, and I've used your songs as illustration.
I'm just a middle-aged, half-heathen redneck, but I've played guitar and bass since I was 7 years old, and y'all are among the best I've heard, and the most honest!
Thank you from a lifetime fan!
Best band I have seen live hands down. Ivan has a voice that can make you feel anything he puts out.. 🔥🔥🤘
I'm hoping i can catch them live some day

Another sun sets down behind me
Another day comes crashing in
There's a whispering wind that's blowing
There's a storm that's closing in
I can hear the trains, they're rolling
To a place I've never been
And I can feel her breath beside me
With an empty glass of gin
As the darkness settles in
I can hear her voice again
I can hear your voice again
Waiting for someone to save me
But everyone just runs away
Waiting for someone to change me
But no one ever comes
I'm breaking down the walls that cage me
But nothing ever falls in place
Waiting for the end to take me
Blinded by the sun
All the ghosts that live inside me
Always waiting in the wind
I can see through my reflection
What I've become and what I've been
You see, your Heaven doesn't want me
And your Hell won't let me in
It's like I'm holding all the aces
But I know I'll never win
Waiting for someone to save me
But everyone just runs away
Waiting for someone to change me
But no one ever comes
I'm breaking down the walls that cage me
But nothing ever falls in place
Waiting for the end to take me
Blinded by the sun
You can take it away, tear it all down
Spit in my face, pushed to the ground
Look what I've become
I've fallen from grace, bloodied and bound
Taking up space, lost and I'm found
Look what I've become
I can hear the snakes, they're winding
Singing songs of pain and sin
There's an anger overflowing
From this empty glass of gin
As the darkness settles in
And the darkness settles in
Waiting for someone to save me
But everyone just runs away
Waiting for someone to change me
But no one ever comes
I'm breaking down the walls that cage me
But nothing ever falls in place
Waiting for the end to take me
Blinded by the sun
And the darkness settles in
(You can take it away)
And the darkness settles in
(You can take it away)
As the darkness settles in
Thanks a lot!!!
He actually says "your hell won't let me END"
Wow. I heard this on the radio and had to grab Shazam to see who these guys were! Powerful lyrics! Powerful vocals! Great tones! This song is a hit and I've worked with platinum selling artists before.

Sir,
I want to thank you for the videos and your support of our troops. I happened across your videos on TH-cam and I am very impressed with your range and talent. I am a retired service member who served 23 years. In that time I severed two combat tours in Iraq (2003 and 2005) with the 101st and the Panama invasion in 1989 (2-27IN Wolfhounds - 7ID). Watching your Bad Company and Wrong Side of Heaven videos brought back so many memories and brought up so many feelings. I am fortunate that I never had to fire my weapon, but I know of people who died during each of my times deployed and I think of them every Memorial Day and Veteran’s Day. Please continue to support our troops. Best regards and thank you. CW4(R) Michael G.
FFDP is the greatest American band right now. They never bow down, they love military and police,,they are the heaviest, baddest band on 🌎 right now. Well deserved.
AMEN!
💯
I love that they respect police and military because we need more people in the world that respect police and military right now.
PTSD or Complex PTSD in the lyrics is what some of us hear and see, thank you! It's almost a 80% feeling in the lyrics. Many of us are vets and many of us is traumatized from extreme things that happened to us. Thank you FFPD for all the songs your band have given us. From the US, CA, EU, SCAN, UK etc soldiers, firefighters, police forces, civil forces, moms and dads, and victims of insane violence, torture, cancer victims and traffic accidences and so on, all over the freaking world. We are So many, and you, as a band, put lyrics and music into our words and feelings of sorrow and grief. You stand up for us and we will never forget it! We Are One Together. We, thank you! (Let us all just be humble for being alive)...I am sorry for my english. I am not english..
I’m not a veteran but have some minor PTSD from head trauma and have been crying pretty hard listening to this song for the first time and reading these comments. I am comforted by the fact that so many others get a similar emotional feeling from this song. It brings me back to hard struggles but makes me so glad to have kept going. Merely surviving is one thing but to reintegrate into a normal state of mind and reconnect with society is harder. Very worth it but not easy.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I HOPE ALL OF YOU AMAZING PEOPLE ARE HAVING A GREAT DAY. AND IF YOU'RE NOT, LISTEN TO THIS SONG AGAIN. WE'RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER. STAY STRONG EVERYONE
Yeah...I wish..
💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
Indominus Zero you are not alone ✌🏻💚 something that helps me is “do something today, that will make you happy tomorrow” (even if it’s just doing the dishes etc.) it really helps me, I hope you can use that too 😊
IM FEELING AS STRONG AS EVER MY FRIEND
Thanks kind stranger I needed that 🤘🤘🤘
