Slipknot - 'Til We Die (Full Song)

'Til We Die (Bonus Track) From the album All Hope Is Gone 2008

Lyrics:

My friends are all hurting from moments and regrets and charity laced with a lie
And still we keep hoping, to fix all the defects and strengthen these seminal ties
We go on together for better or worse, our history is to real to hate
Now and forever we stay until morning, and promise to fight for our fate

'Til we die
'Til we die

The start of the journey is every bit worth it, I can't let you down anymore
The sky is still clearing, we're never afraid and the consequence opens the door
I've never stopped trying, I've never stopped feeling like family is much more than blood
Don't go on without me, the piece that I represent complements each and every one

'Til we die
'Til we die

We won't be forgotten, we'll never give in
This war we've acheived has allowed us to win

'Til we die
'Til we die

My last true confession will open your eyes, I've never know trust like the nine
Let it be spoken, let it be screamed, they'll never ever take us alive

'Til we die
'Til we die

We won't be forgotten, we'll never give in
This war we've acheived has allowed us to win

Carry on
Carry on

We'll never be broken, we won't be denied, our war is the pressure we need to deny
We'll never be broken, we won't be denied, our war is the pressure we need to deny

'Til we die
'Til we die

We won't be forgotten, we'll never give in
This war we've acheived has allowed us to win

Carry on
Carry on

We'll never be broken, we won't be denied, our war is the pressure we need to deny

'Til we die
'Til we die
'Til we die

We won't be forgotten, we'll never give in
This war we've acheived has allowed us to win
We'll never be broken, we won't be denied, our war is the pressure we need to deny

I picked up Slipknot's latest album "All hope is gone" yesterday but just started playing it.  While this album is not nearly as aggressive (so far, just into "Sulfur") as their self titled album released in 1999.  It is a step above and beyond their last album "Vol. 3: The Subliminal Verses".  One of my favorite tracks (the vid played a big part) is "Psychosocial".  So far, so good with this album.  I'm already looking forward to the U.S. tour.  I'll definitely be in the pit.

Back to the album.  The guitar riffs are slightly more aggressive than on Vol. 3, but nowhere near as heavy as those on IOWA which was the darkest album the band managed to release.  I'm listening to "Dead Memories", it doesn't quite fit the overall album and sounds like something that Stone Sour (Corey Taylor (vocalist) and James Root (guitarist)) would release on the side.  It doesn't sit well with me right now.  It doesn't sound like Slipknot.  But hell, you have to give some major points to the Knot for updating the masks this album cycle right? 

I'm going to keep listening to this album today and slap it on my iPod while I'm on my PC.  I recommend this album to any newbie getting started with the Knot.  It's a good album to break in any potential "maggot" and then I recommend purchasing the previous albums and build that library.
