Lyrics:
What will you tell your children when they ask you "what went wrong"
How can you paint a picture of a paradise lost
To eyes that know only a wasteland
How will you justify watching the world die
The clock is ticking, can't you feel our days are numbered
Head first into disaster from which there will be no return
With narrow minds we decimate our one true home
Cast into oblivion, judgment is calling
Behold the pale horse
This is the funeral of the Earth
Behold the pale horse
This is the funeral
The blind eye can no longer be cast
The clock is ticking, there is no second chance
The blind eye can no longer be cast
There will be no future, if we can't learn from our mistakes
The clock is ticking, there is no second chance
There will be no future, if we can't learn
A forced extinction closes out the age of apathy
The final act, sacrifice the world's ecology
The death of beauty, the death of hope
Cast before the throne of avarice, judgment is calling
Behold the pale horse
This is the funeral of the Earth
Behold the pale horse
This is the funeral
The blind eye can no longer be cast
There will be no future, if we can't learn from our mistakes
The clock is ticking, there is no second chance
There will be no future, if we can't learn
I can't watch it burn
Behold the pale horse - เพลง
I love how normal these dudes look.
Totally agree, when you look at them, you don't expect them to be these epic rockers.
I know! I hate it when bands have to wear makeup and dress in all black to distract you from the fact that their music is mediocre.
TJ Deuces Maybe they like that type of wearing you know? Like PD likes this type.
True, but a lot of bands just do it for the "image".
TJ Deuces You mean like black veil brides?
Enviornmentalcore. I dig.
***** Heard them, not a fan of the music at all, but absolutely dig the vibe/ message, and that's what counts :)
Yung Napkin Environmetalists.
***** Both are actually fu**ing awesome
***** Perhaps but their vocalist kills it for me, can't listen to them. PWD come together as a better package for me lol
They dont want you to dig.
Its 2020 now and this song has become so much more relevant, especially in Australia
Especially with all these fucking fires
I saw a video of the damage; of the animals burning, the people's homes in flames, the red sky and smoke. I immediately thought of this song. Especially the line "I can't watch it burn".
Do you know how many people were arrested for starting those fires? False Flag propaganda.
it was arson
Oath mate
Sick sound ✔
Good look ✔
Intelligent lyrics ✔
Brilliant concept ✔
Stunning visuals ✔
One of the best bands of this generation ✔
That's quality metal for you.
Absolutely.... To bad it heavy metal and they won't reach all ears.... Probably one of the best metal bands of all time
This song made me throw my garbage in the recycle bin
Lol oh shit. That was good hahahaha.
hahaha epic response!!
ha funny
Mom wouldn't scream at you!
ahahahahhaha)))) mazafaka
If only people would actually listen to their message.
yes. because "there will be no future if we can't learn from our mistakes".
Josh Roth Too many people like metal just because it's metal, and not for its true message. We entertain ourselves to death instead of fighting for truth.
Samuel Connett
That's deep
Samuel Connett agreed. Pop and rap songs are usually shallow. The biggest reason i love metal is specifically because the message is usually deep and meaningful and the vocals capture the deep emotions rap and pop rarely do. So many metal songs are about shit that matters and about problems in the world that need to change, SOME rap and pop songs speak of deep things but most don't whereas most metal songs do and the lyrics are more complex and interesting, the fact that rap and pop are so popular proves that most of us still aren't willing to face the deep and dark problems that plague humanity and would rather live a shallow life ignoring it all. What a sad state we're in.
Listen to Hactivist if you haven't. Good rap metal band imo.
This song is almost 10 years old, it's haunting looking back at a song like this knowing the ignorance of the world today and how much worse things have become since this song was brought out. We are truly living in the "Dark Days".
right?
shits been going on since the days of industrial revolution but yeah, way to be meta and shit.
And the night grows darker still 😔
All of the songs from parkway drive from 10yrs ago are hitting really good in 2023. Super anti government songs. I didn’t know how based they were back then til now. The world ain’t right, and parkway drive tried to warn us
underrated comment, thumbs up👍
ONE of the BEST metalcore songs EVER
That vocalist is AMAZING ..........
Yup Winston McCall is really awesome
you dont say
They all kick serious ass. But Winston and the drummer are unbelievable
his name is Weston Mcbacon bro ... he has a name
@@AlexanderL23 he's a nice guy in real life to
I was passing by a club one night and I overheard this song playing there. I rushed and entered the club, headbanging the shit out of me on the floor. I was pleasently surprised to hear such a song in a club.
νcountry and location of the club?
if you may know?
+Stavros Sideris In Cluj, Romania. And the club it's called Flying Circus
Serios ? In Cluj ? wow , eu am auzit Bring Me To Life intr-un mall din Constanta , si m-am mirat putin .
wow really a Dance Club where do you live
Adam Bouley In Romania , Cluj .
i am having a speech about protecting the environment tomorrow on school , can i sing this song instead ???
If you can that would be awesome A++
Hell, yeah!
Stupid people will accuse you of being a satanist and wanting to shoot everyone in there
@@PedroVieira-jv2ef Sad, but true...
@@ravenclaw_3160 man! At my school, it doesn't matter if you listen to metal, they'll just call you emo
And now, 7 years later, the Amazon is on fire.
How will we justify watching the World die?
It's fake news you fucktard do some research. What's burning is farmland by the farmers preparing for new crops, same pattern every year, happens the same season. Stop spreading lies. Deforestation is the real problem.
The amazon is burning to clear room for animal agriculture. If you really care then stop consuming animals.

+Ben Johnson Listen to cattle decap \m/
This fucking comment. I tip my hat to you sir.
listen to Gojira
Jam mate listen to gojira theyre completly environmental
September 2021 and im still blasting this in the car park before work. Timeless classic
Right there with you!
i came back to this gem after watching the clip of "black mammoth" from their buddies Fit for an autopsy. It's basically the exact same words and video lol
I was jamming it at work last night. Will tonight too bro
Same
Time flies!
That opening riff😩😩🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🔥🔥🔥
When the breakdown started at 3:30, I headbanged so hard I've hit my head against the desk and cracked the desk. What a good song!
Hahaha =)))
fuck yeah man
For real that's fucking funny your head must be pretty fucking tough ahaha
Mate if that's your reaction, then Parkway have done their job.
almost the same, my desk didnt cracked but my computer restarted...i was so mad i almost smashed my computer intentionally after that.
I listened to this while taking a shower.
Most brutal shower ever
Patricio Rodriguez same here lol
x3
Basically a more hardcore rise against
i had to replace my shower cause i listened to PWD in the shower. apparently showers dont like to mosh and tend to break
Jjj
Save Australia. We need you to write a song again like this.Cheers From india ❤️
I feel so good when I see an indian in the comments section of metal video....😊😊
it was arson
check out My Heart and the Ocean by Heaven Shall Burn ;)
Ari Ari by the Bloodywoods is a good Indian metal song
Yo, whos here in 2021! Still solid ass band.
yerp
I just discovered them and I'm hooked
@@distilledbrainstem7364 me too
Who else agrees that Parkway Drive are the best metalcore band?
Rhys Mogg I don't know about "the best" metalcore band... due to the fact that there's so many of them out there but Parkway are certainly up there, along with August Burns Red! :)
Yeah love ABR. Architecs are pretty amazing too. Also, Bury Tomorrow.
As I Lay Dying, Killswitch Engage, All That Remains
+Jared Myers (Crazymonkey1133) Classic bands, and they got there a lot longer ago. Not to take anything away from the aforementioned bands.. they all rule.
I'd think they're deathcore because they don't have any legitimate singing where All That Remains does
THIS MUSIC VIDEO RULES
f yah man
I screamed "best music video ever" as the intro to this song began playing during their show at warped tour in montreal this year. People vaguely recalled the message and were like haha, oh yeah...
Hands down one of their best songs made, period
3:48 Winston McCall beating the shit out of the air is ICONIC
Their drummer is a boss
swing is evidence of that
Fo real
Coffin Nail Productions Dude is a magnitude 9 earthquake
Ty Rivera dude for real man
i love this band!
Winston is seriously so amazing , thumbs up if Metal bands are more friendly than Pop bands 👍
Pop is shit
Pratyay Sarkar true
All hail to Nickelback lmao
even remotely comparing metal to pop is a huge insult lmao
He is the sexiest man I ever seen. Wanna him so bad 😍
My 8th grade English teacher used this song as a lesson on the cost of humanities progress, me and him were the only ones jamming out in the back of the class. Fast forward 10 years I’ve been doing metal vocals ever since and fallen in love with heavy music. I won’t name drop too hard but “Grumpy Cat” from Rafer Johnson Middle School Kingsburg CA I hope you’re living well 🤘🏼
And still there are people who think climate change isn't real and don't care about the environment and about the impact and responsibility of mankind.... Thank you for this song, PWD, and for caring.
Repent!! The End Is Near!!!
One of the best metal videos I've ever seen, music's perfect, nothing flashy, it has meaning... we need more of that nowadays
Amen to that
this isnt metal its metalcore
Phuck Googele metalcore is a part of metal.
***** thats the funniest thing ive heard all day
If it's not metal it's a subgenre
The whole "Atlas" album is just an absolute Metalcore masterpiece. The lyrics, the guitar work, the production quality, even the orchestral work on the title track is just amazing. By far my all-time favorite Metalcore album made. Good work guys.
This song is beautiful. It has so much meaning and truth to it. I could literally listen to this song on loop for 30min. Cool song PWD, you caught all of our attention.
i'm here because my favorite wrestler went to their concert and was headbanging his heart out to this song so i decided to give them a listen. Seth has good taste in music.
HELL YEA!
This is the funeral of the earth!!!!
My girlfriends can't understand why I love these guys so much XD
friend...s?
friends who are girls

Parkway Drive, The Amity Affliction, In Hearts Wake, Thy Art Is Murder.
Amazing Australian bands with a message.
Parkway drive make you feel br00tal
The amity affliction make you feel emotional
In hearts wake make you feel eargasmic
And I don't really listen to thy art is murder
+@InSoxWeTrust You forgot Make Them Suffer, Buried In Verona and Northlane...

and Feed Her to the Sharks
Feed her to shark badass!
I love the drumming on this Song so much. Freakin' awesome!
10 years pass by and still the one of my favorite 👍
1:28 that "BLEGH!" sounds powerfully amazing.
I agree, so powerful. Much different from how others attempt.
First time i heard this song i went back to it 5 times before i finished the whole song....
The only band I see that does that better is If I Were You, in songs like Lost.
@@crazyjew878 Architects
Glad to see people appreciate this video and song as much as i do. These guys have always been good but this last album is fucking insanity. Growing up love hardcore and metal, i think these guys are the perfect combo. I remember when these guys where playing small hardcore shows back on their first ep. They have worked hard and came along way.
I start listening to these guys back in 2015 and I became and instant fan of their music. The next five years in my life were difficult but I'm glad I got Parkway Drive to motivate myself and keep going forward. I love how powerful his lyrics tend to be!
Parkway Drive - not only incredible sound, but also always conveying an important message
Wow.
No makeup, no leather, no spikes.
Just casual clothing.
Finally!
Yeah they are surfies.
+Rhys Werner Um because they are watch the music video karma, or their documentary. They have an entire album Deep Blue using the ocean as symbolism. fucking numb nuts
Agreed! But, there's still to find a decent band without tattoos!
@@xcanofwoopass they're not surfers we just live on the coast you fucking spastic
+Rhys Wiener they LITERALLY talk about surfing in interviews with footage of them surfing you fucking sped. I guess the sun has gotten to you, being that you're an aussie so you must surf all the time right?
1) This is my favorite band 2) This is my favorite song by them 3) They inspired me to get into sustainability and environmental ethics 4) Winston's vocals are legendary 5) Everyone in the band is fantastic 6) I love their fans as much as I love them. We're all one big family.
This song never goes away for me.
I've been listening to all their albums, and really can't decide on my top song. This is top 3 for sure.
Why are people complaining about BMTH in the comments? Why compare them? I love them both, Parkway were the first band to ever get me into heavy music years ago, and I've come across BMTH along the way, and now they're both my favourite bands. Sure they're different, they're meant to be. They've both been around for 10 years now and both deserve respect for how much they've contributed to the metalcore genre and the progress it's made.
Probably one of the most meaningful metal songs out there. I appreciate that you guys used music to get this point across, and you made one of the best songs while doing it! Much respect
Even almost a decade later, this song is sanctified to its very core. Almost a decade later, and this song is absolutely still relevant. It can be taken figuratively, literally, whatever, and it still holds a similar message all the same. What a staple in history and hopefully a source of hope in times to come.
All these guys kill it.....wish I could play so heavy thank you parkway
One of the sickest breakdowns!
I agree so much with everything in this song. We need to look after our planet because we only have one, it's so beautiful and we are destroying it without a second thought about the aftermath. I am so happy Parkway Drive are such an amazing band, using their music to spread an important message.
this song even brings light in the darkest days! thank you parkway drive!
I've heard of this band before, but I'd never bothered to listen to them. Just stumbled upon this song and I'm in love. I can't believe I slept on an amazing band like this.
Insane album, insane song, and ,goddamnit, insane breakdown.
i cant get enough of this song
Love listening to how this band has just constantly got better
Y'all cant deny when it comes to parkway drive they have some of the best breakdowns ever made.
This is my favorite Parkway Drive song and Music video.
Next to Mitch Lucker, Winston is my favorite vocalist/frontman
Amazing song, with amazing lyrics
that final breakdown is perfect,holy shiiiit!
One thing i love about parkway drive is that their lyrics make sense and this music video is a lot more powerful than what it may look like to many people.
“What will you tell your your a children when they ask you what went wrong.” Damn , that line makes me emotional
Well, nowadays they're telling them.. "it's climate change"
Tell them you aborted their baby sister, and they got lucky 😂
5 years later... still awesome
2023📻💓🎧📸👍🇷🇺🐻🇷🇺👍💓🇷🇺💓👍🇷🇺🐻❄️🇷🇺👍
This song and video are becoming more relevant and important than ever.
Got this album and Deep Blue for Christmas! :D Loving their stuff!
Awesome album :)
No better gift than an album from a band you arent that famailar with.
You just get to discover it :)
Eu sempre vou amar essa música
Mannn when this came out in 2012 this was the most excited I've ever been for a new music release as a whole. This was the single or teaser for the atlas release, I remember watching this first in the morning and just being blown away. I hit all my friends up and it was as if my favorite team won the championship.
Good times.
Just saw parkway drie live 2 nights ago, they're still killing it.
They make fantastic music
The absolute best metalcore band I've ever seen live and I've seen a lot of em in concert. Everytime they come to nashville I'm there.
I agree. Saw them a couple weeks ago and they sounded amazing
I see them in london
2019, Rainforests burning down...this is the first suggestion to my Playlist by YT.
Incredible how this song becomes better year by year just listening it
The guitar tone is everything in this song.
The best metal core band there is, the passion from winston is incredible, I never tire of hearing his vocals
Tim Norman not anymore
Im coming from the future... they´ve changed a lot sadly, but still achieve big things.
Parkways Lyrics are slowly reversing, which is a good thing, Winston has changed so much Lyrically
One of my top bands always has been always will be.
I have been in the HC scene since I was 16. I’m too old to share how long that is….you are one of my favorite bands…you need to keep pushing this message! I love your new material but we need more of the self perseverance messages for the young generation getting into the scene
my favorite parkway drive song
This song gets me pumped.
This is my fave environ metal song back in the day and its still the best for me now.
8 years ago this song made me more into caring about the nature & I became a Parkway Drive & especially Winston fan for life🤘 obviously "There is no future, if we can't learn from our mistakes."
These guys are heavy as fuck. They are amazing!
Not heavy as they used to be :(
never listened to their other stuff so i wouldnt know
TheProjectVoid The used to be heavy. Check Romance is Dead
check out the deep blue album, that shit was amazing
Oskar Wikström
deep blue is my favorite album
Amo ésta canción!! :) Y el videoclip también me pareció bueno.
Gives me chills every time
Hands down favorite band of all time.
These guys kill pretty much all the music that has been released in 2012. Amazing!
I don't know what's cooler... The video or the music itself! :)
Been gordans face at 1:36 and 1:42 is priceless that like heart of a lion warrior style !!! Hell yeah rock on badass parkway drive

Amazingly one of the only bands that sound exactly the same live, best experience ever.
