[Verse 1: Josh Franceschi]
You're not really who you say you are
You profit from your kamikaze art
Hardly recognize what you have become
Just a libertine from dawn to dusk
I pray for you one time, a failure by design
No good times when I rewind, I almost feel bad for you
It was never personal, and you made that call
Always wanting someone else to blame, but this was all your fault
[Chorus: Josh Franceschi]
You wanna destroy me
But I'll never surrender my hope
Don't try to control me
My future isn't yours to own
[Verse 2: Josh Franceschi]
We don't know how to communicate
Anymore, anymore
Picking sides, you're just picking fights, won thе battle, but
Lost the war
Why do you do this to yourself? It's bad for your hеalth
Coming after me, I promise it will not end well
I know it's hard for you to hear, hard for you to hear
But I'm someone that you should fear, someone you should fear
[Chorus: Josh Franceschi]
You wanna destroy me
But I'll never surrender my hope
Don't try to control me
My future isn't yours to own
[Post-Chorus: Josh Franceschi]
You wanna destroy me, destroy me
I rebound
You wanna destroy me, destroy me
I won't lie down
[Bridge: Rou Reynolds]
You thought you could get what you wanted
You thought you could bury us now
You thought you could get what you wanted
But as you fall from grace, you ain't dragging us down
I won't go, I won't go down without a fight
Gonna make you wish you treated me right
I won't go, I won't go down without a fight
Gonna make you wish you treated me right
[Chorus: Josh Franceschi & Rou Reynolds]
You wanna destroy me
But I'll never surrender my hope (Surrender my hope)
Don't try to control me
My future isn't yours to own (Isn't yours to own)
[Post-Chorus: Josh Franceschi & Rou Reynolds]
You wanna destroy me, destroy me
I rebound
You wanna destroy me, destroy me
I won't lie down
Aš asmeniškai boikotuoju tokius siūlymus ir nebalsuoju už juos (kaip, beje, boikotuoju ir beveik visus koverius, nebent tas koveris kažkoks smarkiai inovatyvus). Bet ne visi kreipia į tai dėmesį ir balsuoja tiesiog už pažįstamą atlikėją.
Dėl Tony Iommi - čia kažkoks jau pattern'as. Priminsiu, kad Scent of Dark, 2021-ais išleista, mūsų tope pasirodė 2025-ais. Beje, išbuvo visas 12 savaičių, buvo pasiekusi pirmą vietą ir užima 46 vietą 2025-ųjų top100-uke. Absurdas.
Įdomu buvo gyvai pajust grupės laikyseną. Kokia visgi tai gotikinė grupė… Ėjau klausytis As I Die, o teko iš naujo perkratyti diskografiją. Vien dėl to verta dalyvauti koncertuose, nes privačiam patyrime gali paaiškėti, kad esi aklojoje zonoje.
