뉴메틀의 스펙트럼을 넓히기 위해 끝없이 노력해온 진정한 실력파 밴드 디스터브드가 다시한번 10,000개의 주먹으로 그 위용을 과시한다! 새 앨범의 커버는 우리에게 [스폰]으로 유명한 작가 토드 맥팔레인이 맡아 디스터브드 팬들을 더욱 자극한다! 전작을 능가하는 새 앨범 [TEN THOUSAND FISTS]는 강력한 그루브와 공격적인 래핑으로 무장한 타이틀곡 <TEN THOUSAND FISTS>로 시작한다. 강한 반복을 이루어 가는 메틀릭 기타리프와 감성적인 데이빗의 보컬 하모니가 돋보이는 <JUST STOP>과 데뷔작과 전형적인 디스터브드 스타일이라고 할 수 있는 도입부의 프로그래밍으로 시작되는 <GUARDED>에 이어, 스트레이트 하게 이어지는 곡 <DEIFY>에서 디스터브드는 미국 대통령 조지 부시의 9/11 연설을 곡의 첫 부분에 사용했다. 이는 자신들의 지도자를 마치 신과 같이 숭배하는 사회의 성향에 대해 도전하는 곡이다. 전작의 <REMEMBER>를 잇는 듯한 느낌이 강하게 드는 첫싱글 <STRICKEN>은 그들의 공격성향과 멜로디 사이에서의 교차점을 찾은 최고의 곡이다. 이 외에도 프로그레시브 락의 전설 제네시스의 1986년도 히트곡을 커버한 <LAND OF CONFUSIONS>는 디스터브드에 의해 공격적으로 재탄생했다. 디스터브드는 10,000개의 주먹들TEN THOUSAND FISTS로 뉴메틀 최후의 프론티어라는 사실을 다시한번 증명했다. .... ....
One more goddamn day When I know what I want And my want will be considered tonight Consider tonight
Just another day When all that I want Will mark me as a sinner tonight I'm a sinner tonight, yeah
People can no longer cover their eyes If this disturbs you, then walk away You will remember the night you were Struck by the sight of Ten thousand fists in the air
Power unrestrained Dead on the mark Is what we will deliver tonight Deliver tonight
Pleasure fused with pain This triumph of the soul Will make you shiver tonight We'll make you shiver tonight, yeah
People can no longer cover their eyes If this disturbs you, then walk away You will remember the night you were Struck by the sight of Ten thousand fists in the air
We are the ones that will open your mind Leave the weak and haunted behind
Guarding yourself from the love of another Left you with nothing tonight Why does it sound like the devil is laughing Leaving me haunted tonight You did decide
Now I want you when you're gone, and now it's like You're holding something just in front of me Well, then I can't allow this to become another One of those times that I'm left in the cold dead There's no compromise Just another tie I know I need to sever
Guarding yourself from the love of another Left you with nothing tonight Why does it sound like the devil is laughing Leaving me haunted tonight You did decide
Ever haunted by the trappings of this life Sweet redemption just in front of me Well, now it seems once again that I've lost another One of the ones that have broke through the wall damned Fate won't compromise I have sold my soul And now the devil's laughing You did decide
You were bold and strong, ready to begin your life All for nothing, you were sacrificed You began alone, and so it will be when you die All for nothing, will you be remembered? You did decide
Guarding yourself from the love of another Left you with nothing tonight So now you know why the devil is laughing He left you with nothing tonight You did decide
"That's what, I believe, got him reelected Is the people knew that you could believe what he said." "Well, that's your repressive government." "Our country is strong" ("How many people to march, I don't know") "We go forward to defend freedom" ("Take the government's side") "All that is good and just..." ("'Just,' yeah, right.") "...in our world."
All my devotion betrayed I am no longer afraid I was too blinded to see How much you’ve stolen from me
You want to know why I feel so horrified I’ve let my innocence die You want to know why I can’t be pacified You made me bury something I won’t be sleeping tonight
I only wanted a blessing made Now, I’ve been labeled a "renegade" It seems so clear now what I must do You’re no immortal?I won’t let them
Deify you They view you as the new messiah Deify you Renew belief in some demented man
You want to know why It seems the passion’s died We’ve all been living this lie You want to know why My will’s been fortified You made me hunger again Good luck sleeping tonight
I only wanted a blessing made Now, I’ve been labeled a "renegade" It seems so clear now what I must do You’re no immortal?I won’t let them
Deify you They view you as the new messiah Deify you Renew belief in some demented man
All my devotion betrayed I am no longer afraid I was too blinded to see How much you’ve stolen from me
Deify you They view you as the new messiah Deify you Renew belief in some demented man 2x
You walk on like a woman in suffering Won't even bother now to tell me why You come alone, letting all of us savor the moment Leaving me broken another time
You come on like a bloodstained hurricane Leave me alone; let me be this time You carry on like a holy man pushing redemption I don't want to mention the reason I know
That I am stricken and can't let you go When the heart is cold, there's no hope, and we know That I am crippled by all that you've done Into the abyss will I run
You don't know what your power has done to me I want to know if I'll heal inside I can't go on with a holocaust about to happen Seeing you laughing another time
You'll never know how your face has haunted me My very soul has to bleed this time Another hole in the wall of my inner defenses Leaving me breathless, the reason I know
That I am stricken and can't let you go When the heart is cold, there's no hope, and we know That I am crippled by all that you've done Into the abyss will I run
Never again will I be dishonored And never again will I be reminded Of living within the world of the jaded They kill inspiration; it's my obligation To never again allow this to happen Where do I begin? The choices are endless Denying the sin My art, my redemption I carry the torch of my fathers before me
The thing I treasure the most in life Cannot be taken away There will never be a reason why I will surrender to your advice To change myself, I'd rather die Though they will not understand I won't make the greatest sacrifice You can't predict where the outcome lies You'll never take me alive I'm alive
Change again cannot be considered I rage again, dispelling my anger Where do I begin? The choices are endless My art, my redemption My only salvation I carry the gift that I have been blessed with My soul is adrift in oceans of madness Repairing the rift that you have created I am not alone; brothers, give me your arms now
The thing I treasure most in life Cannot be taken away There will never be a reason why I will surrender to your advice To change myself, I'd rather die Though they will not understand I won't make the greatest sacrifice You can't predict where the outcome lies You'll never take me alive I'm alive
I'm no slave; are you feeling brave? Or have you gone out of your mind? No more games, it won't feel the same If I hold my anger inside There's no meaning; my soul is bleeding I've had enough of your kind One suggestion: Use your discretion Before you label me "blind"
The thing I treasure most in life Cannot be taken away There will never be a reason why I will surrender to your advice To change myself, I'd rather die Though they will not understand I won't make the greatest sacrifice You can't predict where the outcome lies You'll never take me alive I'm alive
You say you've found yourself a new sound The shit's loaded and ready to go A bit too much just like the old sound Already heard it for the hundredth time One hundred more all have the same sound Running around with all the sheep that you know "It's so sublime; they're breaking new ground" "They're sure to have another hit this time"
Come on, can't you just leave it alone? It doesn't have any soul Just find a thing of your own And stop pretending to know
As the countless numbers hunger For worldwide renown All the pimping sons of plunder Will roll up their sleeves All searching for the answers They don't even care to know Give it to me, give it to me You like it?
I'm still surrounded by the "new sound" I've had enough, and I'm ready to go A stranglehold throughout the world now The new obsession will fade in time A thin reminder of the past, now All convoluted, hardly ready to go Their whines and moans will never last now I think you've given us our fill this time
Come on, can't you just leave it alone? It doesn't have any soul Just find a thing of your own And stop pretending to know
As the countless numbers hunger For worldwide renown All the pimping sons of plunder Will roll up their sleeves All searching for the answers They don't even care to know Give it to me, give it to me You like it?
As it's blown apart Hundreds thrown away Makes me question just what I believe Brothers torn apart Mindless drones enslaved Makes me search for an answer I don't want to know It's like a plague from below Killing all that I know One hundred voices?the same Drench their sorrow in flame
As the countless numbers hunger For worldwide renown All the pimping sons of plunder Will roll up their sleeves All searching for the answers They don't even care to know Give it to me, give it to me You like it?
Hell is still overburdened I must stand and wait in line I may never know for certain When will be my time How was I considered evil? Pleasures taken in this life? Someone granted me reprieval Decades spent in strife
Led to nothing Repeated in my mind Led to nothing If only I was born another time
Hell is still overburdened I must stand and wait in line Hell is still overburdened How have I been so determined malign?
It's the closing of the curtain In the play that was my life Countless chapters left unopened Tragedies inside I was fighting for a reason Holy, blessed homicide Seems I have committed treason All I've sacrificed
Led to nothing Repeated in my mind Led to nothing If only I was born another time
Hell is still overburdened I must stand and wait in line Hell is still overburdened How have I been so determined malign?
Fate is so unkind Now, I should have known Blind leading the blind Reaping what I've sown If it all amounts to nothing Why, then, am I standing in this line?
Hell is still overburdened I must stand and wait in line Hell is still overburdened How have I been so determined malign?
Yes, they know that you've hurt yourself another time Don't they know that you're full of pain already? Yes, they know that you've hurt yourself another time Decadence isn't easy, is it?
Then, you slowly recall all your mind Why your soul's gone cold, and all hope has run dry Dead inside?never enough to forget that you're one of the lonely Slowly recall all your mind
If I scare you now, don't run from me I've been hiding all my pain, you see?
Forgiven to me You're forgiven to me You're just another dead man living to me Forgiven to me You're forgiven to me How can you let a dead man live Forgiven to me You're forgiven to me You're just another nightmare walking to me You were driven to me Now, you're given to me How can I let the nightmare live
To be purified in fire Anesthetic for the pain As the final words erupt from your mouth Who will remember your name?
Forgiven to me You're forgiven to me You're just another dead man living to me Forgiven to me You're forgiven to me How can you let a dead man live Forgiven to me You're forgiven to me You're just another nightmare walking to me You were driven to me Now, you're given to me No longer will the nightmare live
To be purified in fire Anesthetic for the pain As the final words erupt from your mouth Who will remember your name
Walking the line that the world has drawn Fighting for balance, alone in the dark Will you carry the burden the world has grown? Will you destroy everything in your sight? You alone can give this one more try You alone will bury me tonight
To be purified in fire Anesthetic for the pain As the final words erupt from your mouth Who will remember you now Who will remember your name?
I must've dreamed a thousand dreams Been haunted by a million screams But I can hear the marching feet They're moving into the street
Now, did you read the news today? They say the danger's gone away But I can see the fire's still alight There, burning into the night
There's too many men Too many people Making too many problems And there's not much love to go round Can't you see This is a land of confusion
This is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given Use them and let's start trying To make it a place worth living in
Ooh, Superman, where are you now? When everything's gone wrong somehow The men of steel, the men of power Are losing control by the hour
This is the time This is the place So, we look for the future But there's not much love to go round Tell me why this is a land of confusion
This is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given Use them and let's start trying To make it a place worth living in
I remember long ago Ooh, when the sun was shining Yes, and the stars were bright All through the night In the wake of this madness As I held you tight So long ago
I won't be coming home tonight My generation will put it right We're not just making promises That we know we'll never keep
Too many men Too many people Making too many problems And not much love to go round Can't you see This is a land of confusion
Now, this is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given Use them and let's start trying To make it a place worth fighting for
This is the world we live in And these are the names we're given Stand up and let's start showing Just where our lives are going to
My conviction is stronger today As I fight to uncover your sacred lie And the fear isn't going away As the soldiers still die
Let your followers know That their lives have been sold For the good of your sacred lie For the truth to be told And the plan to unfold We must start asking why
Don't you know the war is far from over now? What a stumbling block we've fallen over now As our brothers die defending no one The war is far from over now
Liberation, a moral charade For the cause is a part of your sacred lie Damnation a moment away In all the world's eyes
It's the doom of us all We give in to control For the sake of your sacred lie Complications abound You'll get used to the sound Of alarms in your life
Don't you know the war is far from over now? What a stumbling block we've fallen over now As our brothers die defending no one The war is far from over now
Give us a moment of peace in our lifetime A moment of peace in our lifetime A moment of peace right now
Fading, falling, lost in forever Will I find a way to keep it together Am I strong enough to last through the weather In the hurricane of my life Can it be a conscious decision That I look for ways to alter my vision Am I speeding towards another collision In the alleyways of my life
Memories don't lie You know better than Those who have fallen in
Please believe me That my eyes deceive me Don't stand me up; just leave me I have fallen again?this is the end: Pain redefined
Shaking, burning up with the fever In the realm of pain, I am the deceiver Now I lie to myself so I can believe her As she disassembles my life I cannot dispel the illusion All my hopes and dreams are drowned by confusion Can I find a way to make a solution That will reconfigure my life
Memories don't lie You know better than Those who have fallen in
Please believe me That my ears deceive me Don't stand me up; just leave me I have fallen again?this is the end: Pain redefined
And I know that stillness shatters We have all been frightened by the sound Of footsteps on the pavement of our lives I stand and fight I'm not afraid to die Elochai, bury me tonight
Please believe me That the world deceives me Don't stand me up; just leave me I have fallen again?this is the end: Pain redefined
