High Road Lyrics

You let the wind take us down
You let the storm come and wipe us out
I saw the fox stomp you out
I saw the ocean come take you under

I have my bullet stuck in your mouth
I have you screaming for your last breath, yeah
I shoved the boat deep inside
I still waiting for the devour

You take the High Road down
I take the ground below you
You take the high road down
I take the ground below

You are the one nobody likes
You are the plague that was brought here by rats
I like to hunt you, lets fight
Watching you fade out and never come back

You take the high road down
I take the ground below you
You take the high road down
I take the ground below

You take the high road down
I take the ground below you
You take the high road down
I take the ground below

High Road

Guitarist Bill Kelliher wrote the music for this song, composing the riff on a James Hetfield model ESP, whilst drummer Brann Dailor penned the lyrics. Kelliher recalled to Artist Direct : "I was sitting in my hotel room in Luxembourg because we had a couple of days off there. It's a very simple, easy, and heavy riff. I didn't think it would catch on with anybody else, but Brann was like, 'I hear some really cool vocals there!'"

"It just blossomed into this huge six-minute song with cool leads," he continued. "They're not solos, but leads in the middle of the song I put together my song. It's something I worked really hard on."
