LYRICS:
Respective perspectives worshiping directives - blindly killing for our dogma,[1] until our sons meet in the garden.[2] Torches scald the night sky; the youth rise up and set their elders to the gallows.[3] Fire in the lighthouse: All our advances, a spark away from conflagration.
In the night I saw you fall, oh wicked star,[4] illuminate our hate, show us who we really are.
Books were burned away - only swords remained.[5] The prophets died for peace, stabbed by preying priests. As the wise man said I'll keep my heart and lose my head.[6] Without a neck how can I sink with a millstone to the bottom of the sea?[7] The bottom of the sea - and I’m finding the violence - it looks like me.
Singing songs of life when all we know is death.[8] A world of orphans[9] left empty-handed. If love’s a sin I’ll become a heretic.
Recurring intervention:[10] Framing the narrative to cleanse our tainted conscience.[11]
Harvesting destruction: Reaping the sow from weapons planted in the soil.[12]
Terrified little son, encumbered by your sword, you can hide your fear but won’t shed the sheer weight of your own humanity - humanity. You can face me towards the mountains[13] where I meet our Mother’s gaze.[14] Too blinded by this hatred to recognize your brother’s face.[15]
Singing songs of life when all we know is death. A world of orphans left empty-handed.
I’ll collapse - head parting from my weary shoulders - seeds of life spilling from my palms.[16] Subverting love[17] will take hold in this hateful soil; my blood is the water. Inshallah, Shalom. Love will take hold.[18]

"Too blinded by your hatred to recognize your brothers face" 👌
Fucking love that line
Gave me goose bumps for like 30 seconds.
Especially the footnote that explains the line, I just...oh my gosh too powerful
Josh M PERFECT!!!!
"Inshallah, Shalom." / "(Arabic) Lord willing, (Hebrew) let there be peace. Love will take hold." I teared up at the profoundness of this.
Same
Best part
since it's arabic it's actually "God willing." either way.. such a great line.
Thank you for the translation. Wasn't aware of the Arabic. Very powerful stuff.
The message of this song is TOO relevant.
Right?!
Scary relevant.
It will always be unfortunately.
Still relevant.
I absolutely love the way Garrett navigates through the darker and tragic narratives of scripture with grace and refreshing perspective, it's an adventure to dig into these lyrics.
I love how they are willing to go places not many other bands will go as far as conceptualization, can't wait for the new record!
Damn Daniel, I see you with that vocabulary word.
+UltimateKakashi5 lmfao jesus
tbh idk what that means
+HingleMcCringleBerry He's just emphasizing the word "Concept" but in a more sophisticated way. Or in a more generalized way.
They remind me of Nothing More in a way.
As someone who isn't religious, I have no problem with appreciating the message behind this band's lyrics and music. They present a great overall message. They're easily one of my favorite bands. The "Christian band" label is stupid. They're simply a sick fucking band, that's it.
+RETZUD - I agree. The lyrics are great whether you're religious or not. They're extremely well written and tell great stories. And the music is excellent as well. People need to look past the fact that some bands are religious. That has no bearing on the music.
yep, not religious at all but Silent Planet and Hotel Books are incredible, i love their writing
same same same man, also check out August Burns Red if you haven't already, amazing music
***** ABR is in my top 3 favorite bands lol. Amazing music is right
+RETZUD - honestly i thought it was their best, their such talented musicians but still know how to make a sick album that is unlike anything they have made prior, I still love constellations being super heavy,but you know they still have plenty of songs that are pretty damn hard lol
I met Garret Russell (vocals) on Warped Tour (btw they are AMAZING live) and ya know how rockstars can be stereotyped as drug-addicts and selfish and caught in the fame? Garret Russell is the complete opposite. He is the sweetest most genuine guy. He loves meeting Silent Planet fans and loves what he does. He is so open minded and loving and caring. Every song has such a strong meaning and the way it's written is just so beautiful and creative. I cried when I met him, he is such an inspiration to me, Silent Planet needs to be known by the world.
Right after their performance a HUGE line was at their merch tent (I met him before) most of them listening to them for the first time but already fell in love. Thank you Silent Planet for all you do and stand for rock on dudes and preach
Saw them tonight. He spotted me singing along at times. When The Contortionist finished their headliner set and everybody was leaving, and Garrett was still talking with people! He approached me and asked me not only how I was doing, but my name as well. Not once had any artist before asked how I was feeling, and he was dreadfully sick. I told him they were excellent and that I hoped we crossed paths again someday... to which he said, "we will, we will." Even though he wasn't feeling good at all, he still came out and performed a 40 minute set, as well as hang around to talk with anybody! I aspire to love even half as much as he does. Thank God for people like him.
I saw them in Baltimore the other night and this is so true. The love coming off Garrett was very powerful.
Not only does their music get better and better, but also do their music videos. SP are truly one of a kind. I'm proud and humbled to call them by favourite band.
Jason LovesABR SORRY DUDE I THOUGHT YOU KNEW
This band never fails to impress. Keep spreading The Gospel of Love boys!
these guys are beyond musicians, they're martyrs. their voice is music,
you do realize Martyrs need to die in order to be a martyr right?
@@TheBigMclargehuge you do realize i was a kid when I wrote this, and you're a douchebag, right?
This band understands humans and therefore they understand me. Silent planet is a blessing and they should get more exposure. At least, thats how i feel
This band makes me feel like I stand for the most stupid things ever and my problems are dumb. Big big message. These dudes are doing something outstanding with their music and their voice.
This is the metalcore I like mate
The mixture between post-metal/sludge metal, progressive metalcore and spoken word vocals is amazing.
I might be at work. but i'll stop my day to listen to this :D
Same here!
same 😆
BRIG ME 2
Not ignoring how great this song is or how much I love this band, but I really want to meet the person who makes Silent Planet's videos.
Hey there. I make Silent Planet's vids :)
Well, you are certainly good at it! I would love to shadow you behind the scenes one day.
The emotional response I've gotten from every single one of these songs is at times so overwhelming. God bless, guys. Please do not stop what you do.
I hope everyone has an amazing day. Stay strong.
can we also get a t-shirt thatsays, "If loves a sin, I'll become a heretic"
Amen!! Dude your logo RULES!!! AQUAMAN is THE BOMB!!!
Artistic Cultures YES WOOHOO
Can we get a shirt that says nick luciano comments on all our youtube videos with cool shirt ideas
I know.
How does this only have 150,000 views!? A song like this deserves millions
Two weeks from today gentlemen and ladies. So hyped fort his album. Silent Planet is one of my absolute favorite bands. Perfect balance of grace and truth in their music while glorifying Christ.
underrated band.
i only just heard of them now :O
I officially want music videos for each Silent Planet song because you guys bring the same passion and vision to your music videos as you do to the songs themselves!
It keeps getting better.
"Singing songs of life when all we know is death. A world of orphans left empty-handed."
The boys keep breaking new ground. Everything about this song is pure perfection. The word epic doesn't do this masterpiece justice. Every song they release is better than the last...a never ending crescendo...where will it end? Love will take hold!
I can't stop listening and I can't stop singing the chorus all day long. It's a blessing and a curse.
Just when I think I can't fall more in love with these guys and their music...
I appreciated the footnotes.
The poetry involved in this band is stagnating. Truly exceptional! God bless SP!
These guys are the future of music. Thank you so much for raising the bar, someone needed to.
Love this band, all the messages on the every song are amazing
Everything Was Sound releases tomorrow, already pre-ordered. Can't wait!
This band is just genius the beauty, the amount of time they put, the meaning, and the lyrics... It's all just amazing
This is perfect
This song is so beautiful. Makes me cry. I see who ive become, hoping its not who i really am. Letting hate and anger shape me into something i can barely stand sometimes.
I really appreciate the fact that the lyrics are truly related to something, not like the mayority (IMO) of lyrics nowadays.
Much respect.
Heard you guys at Warped Tour in Scranton this year, just walking by. It had to be fate guiding me to such an amazing band! Just discovered you guys two days ago and I'm already head over heels! I love it all! Keep up the amazing work!
these new videos are fantastically done, as well as the music, top notch.
This video is just too great. Ita almost unreal how perfectly made it is, and the music combined with the lyrics is wonderful. Bless you, lovers. praise be to the Most High.
I could only imagine having half the talent for writing that Garrett has.
FUck he's such a good lyricist
i can't describe how good this is. i mean wow panic room, psychescape en now this....imagine how good the other songs are....
Why am I always five years behind with discovering great bands? This music has me feeling some type of way.
The first time I saw this video, I did not give much attention, I liked the music and sound.
The second time I saw it, the musical art and Images from them get very deep in me, a very good job.
And the third time I saw this, the images made me sad, of how the world or the people can change into this...
I really love the music of Silent Planet, and i hope they keep doing this for very very long years
this song ALMOST made a tear come out. this song is beyond powerful 🙌🙌👌👌✊👍
Saw these guys together with ERRA, was incredible. Very passionate performers.
I was already in love with the song. Now I am in love with this video.
Seeing our leaders turn the other way from desperate refugees is so angering and heartbreaking. Thank God for people like Silent Planet at times like this.
then we have the lovely alt right and other groups spreading some of that nice misinformation its honestly sad that we can easily be swayed by hatred and ignorance
The leaders of the U.S. are suppose to do whats best for the people and country. It is not their role to provide charity or aid to other countries unless it benefits us. That role is left to the citizens and the churches.
You yourself need to make the choice to help people, not demand that the government should help because you feel bad.
Thank you GOD for this band.
The drummer at 3:45 always brings a smile to my face lol
When the song starts, Alex goes so hard. The first 10 seconds are a masterpiece. As is the rest of the song. But straight into it, the first drum part is gold.
So technical. This is really one of your best songs. I'll never forget when I heard Native Blood for the first time. Can't wait for the full album release.
This song is beautifully written, and you guys put so much passion and emotion into it. But it makes my heart ache so much. I yearn for a more loving world.
Im just finding all kinds of new bands today . Invent , reanimate and now this !!' Good day good day
Wow.
Woah. That hits deep.
This song is fucking amazing. That intro gives me chills
Nigga damn
Best comment award. Haha
Best Christian band I've ever listened to!!!!!!!!! Yea!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love this band and I love this song. Thanks for being amazing
Sheesh. These mixes are gold. All their songs sound so good. (Sonically speaking. Compositions aren't bad either.)
I love this band, my lord is the clean vocalist awful live.
Is it possible that every song they launch is better than the one before? Over and over again?
I hope these guys become the band that changes a generation.
this is why you guys are becoming my favorite band :)
Silent Planet is love, Silent Planet is life.
Ughhhhh it's sooooo gooooood
I got teary eyed when I saw the adorable babies.
LOVE this.
So hyped for the album, preordered it and one of the older shirts (The deer one?)
Nice Legators too.
Oh god I was not expecting those cleans
I want their new album! NOW
My goodness..thanks to your music my love for heavy metal lives on.
Goosebumps .
Honestly addicted to this song
Everyone right now, needs to hear this
One of my favorite songs by them
Mitchell, you're doing BIG things. Hope all is well man!
Best Band So Far! these guys are amazing!
DUDE. My Mum works for World Vision! Really strange, but really cool!
Amazing message. Amazing music!
July wins 2016. Too many good albums coming out..
What other albums are coming? I've been out of the loop as of recent.
+Kyle Lee Well we are getting new Silent Planet, Invent Animate, Periphery and Jason Richardson's solo album to name some
+Casey Walle I am stoked for the Invent, Animate. Celestial Flood was pretty great. Old Northlane vibe is something I miss.
THEEEEEEERICE
CAPSIZE
Hyped for the next show in Toronto
woah Great message, this is what we all need to hear about the world in this days
Can't wait to see you guys at Warped tour San Diego!
this song is perfection
Nice to see a band in this scene with a meaning behind it again, not only in the lyrics but actually doing things to help the world. It's refreshing to see, oh and did I mention the music is sick as well? :)
saw them with norma jean and fortoday sat in san antonio and they killed it . one of the best newer bands out there . hard to find people with a true view of the world
I love this band
This is touching. Great stuff dudes!
World Vision. Wow. Awesome stuff guys!
I'm getting a Memphis May Fire's - The Hollow vibe from this one. I dig it.
+Blanton Stamey
Could be the piano parts, some of the clean moments, the pacing relating to certain moments on The Hollow as a whole. It's just a vibe, nothing to specific. It all just kinda sounds similar to me, which is cool because this and The Hollow are both awesome!
im in love with this song
Dudes never disappoint.
esses caras me tiram o ar com esses riffs
this song makes me tear up everytime
maaaaan! This song is so awesome!
Not much into the new age metal coming out but I have to admit that Silent Planet is on a whole new level
Amazing video positive message , its great.
This song is a masterpiece.
I love you guys so much.
Six dislikes? Who in the world would dislike a song with a pretty powerful message?
love these guys!
this is so fucking phenomenal omfg. I love the heaviness. Keep at it you guys. Been listening since Native Blood.
