Artificial Light Lyrics

Go!
Tell me your misery
Give us the antidote
I heard the voice of change
Behind a vacant note

All this tearing apart
Without a reform
Call it what you will
I'm not afraid to say

I've heard it all, connection lost
We're standing by, Artificial Light
You sell a fix for our defect
And all we find, artificial light

Doesn't break the model
I can't feel it in my bones
Nothing shattering my world (No!)

We want a real cure
Not idle sympathy
The dark consuming light
That you have failed to be

No, it's not enough
I resent this deprivation
Your remedy is not a weapon
To slaughter the sorrow
It's just to keep you from feeling alone

I've heard it all, connection lost
We're standing by, artificial light
You sell a fix for our defect
And all we find, artificial light

Doesn't break the model
I can't feel it in my bones
Nothing shattering my world (No!)

Doesn't break the model
I can't feel it in my bones
Nothing shattering my world (No!)

I'll never see what they see in you

Doesn't break the model
I can't feel it in my bones
Nothing shattering my world (No!)

Doesn't break the model
I can't feel it in my bones
Nothing shattering my world (No!)

Artificial Light

The structure of this song is a bit more complex that most of the others on Extremist. Vocalist Ryan Clark explained to Decibel magazine: "There are a couple points in the song that stray from what's most typical for us. The verse segment plays with an interesting time signature, which is a little different for us. And the title of the song is actually heard in the pre-chorus, as opposed to the chorus, which is the only example of this on the record."

The song's vibrant melodic death metal sound highlights the influences of Swedish bands like At The Gates, In Flames and Soilwork. Clark told Decibel: "There's a delicate balance of ferocity and melody in these bands, whether it's in the music or the vocal — or both — that to me, is unrivaled in most other sub-genres."

The Last One Alive Lyrics

Did anyone survive?
I swear I heard your voice beyond this side
Does anyone still try?
Does anyone still hope to set their eyes beyond this place?

Where angels fall and darkness reigns
Where time dissolves the brightest flame
Ever the same

Whether I'm The Last One Alive
Or ascend before my time
Better I'm the last one alive
Than a soul denied

So this is how we break
And this is where we find the only hope within this place

Where angels fall and darkness reigns
Where time dissolves the brightest flame
Ever the same

Whether I'm the last one alive
Or ascend before my time
Better I'm the last one alive
Than a soul denied

Whether I'm the last one alive
Or ascend before my time
Better I'm the last one alive
Than a soul denied

Whether I'm the last one alive
Or ascend before my time
Better I'm the last one alive
Than a soul denied (Soul denied)

I'm the last one alive
Or ascend before my time
Better I'm the last one alive
Than a soul denied

The Last One Alive

Vocalist Ryan Clark discussed this song during a track-by-track interview with Decibel magazine. "I think this song falls somewhere in the 'Fading Away' or 'Collapsing' realm," he said. "It's that middle-ground territory that ended up being more of a focus on this record — songs that maintain a heavy groove, but lean more on melodic vocals than the split scream/sing structure that's more typical for us.

I guess you could call it closer to hard rock than straight-ahead metal, but that's what I've always loved about this band," Clark continued. "We've allowed ourselves loose enough boundaries to be able to explore everything from relentlessly heavy to slow and somber — hopefully without any of it sounding like a departure. With this mindset, I feel like I have the potential to be creatively satisfied on a number of levels that I wouldn't have if we just aimed for heavy all the time.

I was really pleased with the chorus melody from the start, but I think what really pushes the chorus over the top is the harmony, which (producer) Aaron Sprinkle had a lot to do with," Clark added. "He's great at hearing harmonies that might not be a natural go-to for me."

The song's music video was directed by Belief Agency and features Demon Hunter performing outdoors at night. A group of lit torches cuts through the darkness.

Ryan Clark explained: "The video explores the concept of being chastised for one's beliefs - in a very real sense. We shot this video on the property surrounding my house. Since it had to be shot entirely in the dark, we had to wait for nightfall to start filming."

"At one point my neighbors drove up our street past about 12 torch-wielding hooded figures - and that was after they watched us build and ignite a massive pyre. I can only imagine what they think of their new neighbors."

One Last Song Lyrics

There is a fire in me
I feel its burn within my flesh
Returning back
With every vacancy of breath
No compromise
There is no blade to bring me down
Bleeding at the seams
I ever fight the final round

All of the sorrow, all of the pain
Hold me down
This is the battle within my name
Forever

One Last Song to sing
One final decree
One last song
This everlasting word inside me

There is a final day
To every tear, every breath
Falling enemies
No burn of anguish in us left
All will be undone
When every lost will be found
On this day I cease
To ever fight the final round

All of the sorrow, all of the pain
Hold me down
This is the battle within my name
Forever

One last song to sing
One final decree
One last song
This everlasting word inside me

Forever give me… this day
For every soul they take away
Forever give me… this day
For every lie to wash away

All of the sorrow, all of the pain
Hold me down
This is the battle within my name
Forever

One last song to sing
One final decree
One last song
This everlasting word inside me

One Last Song

This was the first song that Ryan Clark penned for the Extremist album. He told Decibel magazine: "I actually wrote most of the lyrics for the chorus laying in the makeshift bunk of our van while on tour in late 2012. I really wasn't in the writing mindset, but the idea just came to me, and I liked the concept. I guess it came from just enjoying where we were at as a band… The words are essentially about my desire to continue writing and playing music for as long as I live."

This is the only track on Extremist that features more of a Hardcore-style breakdown in the bridge. Clark said: "We have made some pretty broad steps away from Metalcore over the past few years, but sometimes I just can't help myself."

Hell Don't Need Me Lyrics

I don’t wanna close my eyes
I can’t tell if I’m asleep or if I’m blind

We’re going nowhere
No one seems to care

I could sell a peace of mind
I could tell you every time that I divide

The water will decide
Where to feed me
Mother don’t you cry
Hell don’t need me

I will see it all in time†¨I can’t be the only one across that line

We’re going nowhere
No one seems to care

The water will decide
Where to feed me
Mother don’t you cry
Hell don’t need me

Don’t need me
Don’t need me
Don’t need me
Don’t need me

The water will decide
Where to feed me
Mother don’t you cry
Hell don’t need me

The water will decide
Where to feed me
Mother don’t you cry
Hell don’t need me

Hell Don't Need Me

The lyrics for this song are a little different than anything vocalist Ryan Clark has ever written. He told Decibel magazine: "They walk the line between more poetic but also somehow more laid-back than usual."

Clark added that he especially likes the fluid guitar lead that Patrick Judge added over the chorus. "I think it really adds to the melancholy nature of the song," he said.

Beyond Me Lyrics

Where does your allegiance lie?
In failing hearts and idle hands
What corrupted eyes
To heed the certainty of man
You fail me
I never was my final word
I could never be
The only voice I heard

Trust in the powerless
The ever knowing inside
See no deliverance
Leave all conviction behind
The darkest of hearts they cease to bleed

(And) Never deny for the self to lead
You'll find in this a lonely home
No tear consoled
To wander on a nameless road
Beyond Me

Compromise all time unseen
For this, your momentary lust
Pride deafening
Unsung hymns gather rust
No corruption, delusion, enslavement here
Driven not by fear
Not converted to

Trust in the powerless
The ever knowing inside
See no deliverance
Leave all conviction behind
The darkest of hearts they cease to bleed

(and) Never deny for the self to lead
You'll find in this a lonely home
No tear consoled
To wander on a nameless road
Beyond me

I see an aimless soul
In the ruthless cold
Fighting off the call
Dying to be whole
I see an aimless soul
In the ruthless cold
Fighting off the call
Giving in to the fall

You'll find in this a lonely home
No tear consoled
To wander on a nameless road
Beyond me

You'll find in this a lonely home
No tear consoled
To wander on a nameless road
Beyond me

Beyond Me

Vocalist Ryan Clark commented to Decibel magazine that this Extremist track contains possibly the fastest double kick tempo Demon Hunter have ever done. "Luckily, Yogi (Watts, drummer) gets better with every record, so he nailed it no problem," he said.

"One key element to the sound of this record is less programming and sound replacing in almost every aspect," Clark added. "That's not to say nothing was edited, obviously, but there is more of a natural sound throughout, which comes from spending more time getting the right sound and best possible performance…which means less to edit after the fact."

"Certain sections of this song almost give me a (Norwegian black metallers) Dimmu Borgir vibe," Clark continued, "although not as symphonic…and definitely not the pre-chorus or chorus. There's a pretty drastic difference in the vibe of the verses compared to the chorus. I like to find a natural progression from really heavy and extreme to big, sweeping melodic territory. In songs like this, the pre-chorus plays a big part in that. In order to move from the intensity of the verse to this big open chorus, the pre-chorus has to be the perfect transition. It can be easy to botch that concept if you don't have an appropriate way to bridge the two sections."

The Heart Of A Graveyard Lyrics

Everything in time
Set your eyes upon the shallow surface
Hollow out your mind
How divine, you disengage your self

Tell me
Tell me of your consolation
Tell me
I am lost in the gray
Tell me that your final home is not a…
A shot in the dark
Tell me that your hopes and dreams don’t end in the heart

Of a graveyard

Set aside your soul
Let tomorrow realize itself

Tell me
Tell me of your consolation
Tell me
I am lost in the gray
Tell me that your final home is not a…
A shot in the dark
Tell me that your hopes and dreams don’t end in the heart

Of a graveyard

Brace for the ending
You may not see
Will you stop descending
Six shallow feet

Tell me
Tell me of your consolation
Tell me
I am lost in the gray
Tell me that your final home is not a…
A shot in the dark
Tell me that your hopes and dreams don’t end in the heart

Of a graveyard

The Heart Of A Graveyard

Demon Hunter close their Extremist album with quite possibly the "poppiest" track on the record. Vocalist Ryan Clark told Decibel magazine: "It was hard to find the right place for this song in the track listing. We knew that we really loved how it came out though, so we decided it worked best at the end. I like how it wraps up the album: It's unlike any last song we've done before. And it works well as a final song from a lyrical standpoint as well, as it deals with death and the afterlife."

Clark explored the song quite a bit during its writing process. He said: "I went back and forth trying to figure out the best chord progressions for the pre-chorus and chorus. The vocal melody was set in stone, but there were so many possibilities for how to structure the chords. For instance, you'll notice the pre-chorus comes back in, over the chorus, on the repeat. Which means the chord structure on the chorus works just as well for the pre-chorus as well, but I wanted to make sure we varied the two, giving each part their own definitive place."
