"30 PIECES OF SILVER" DIGITAL SINGLE ANNOUNCED
- Thread starter Ulterium Records
- Start date
Here is my best guess at what some of the more unclear parts are. I still couldn't even wager a guess on a few.
What’s the bottom line?
Or what’s the price I’ll take to leave it all behind?
To trade the cross of shame for glory of mankind,
To sell a crown of life for pennies on the dime,
And trade eternity for one [moment in time],
For if the key of life is right here in my hand,
Why would I trade it for a [old glass of sand],
Or choose the riches of this mortal coil?
[[???] from places of man].
All the treasure in the world so blinding,
Thirty pieces of silver shining,
Tell me what’s the price you seek,
To place the kiss of death upon His cheek?
[Love money in the [???] winding],
Thirty pieces of silver shining,
Treasure fades away,
But a price to pay [anyway].
What’s the price you’ve named?
Well, is it money, power, acceptance, or fame?
And will you sell out for a temporary gain?
Or dare to stand up undeterred and unashamed?
And let the glory fall to whomever it may,
When all the world is asking you to sell your soul,
And to deny the cross for silver and for gold,
The kiss of Judas [on the bended knee],
[Fame, glory, or humility,]
[The ultimate goal].
All the treasure in the world so blinding
Thirty pieces of silver shining
Tell me what’s the price you seek
To place the kiss of death upon His cheek?
[Love money in the [???] winding],
Thirty pieces of silver shining,
Treasure fades away,
Sold out for the price of a slave.
The price of a slave.
-Instrumental Break-
Treasure blinding, Silver shining,
[Be defiling].

AHA! I've been listening to the song on repeat, lol. I found another fix.

Just noticed this one, also. The vocals kind of fade out, so it's easy to overlook.

Treasure fades away,
But a price to pay [anyway].

every time you hear that song just imagine me with a 9 month baby bumpuke:
Shawn I would still love you, even if you had another baby daddy.
Whats the bottom line?
Or whats the price I take to leave it all behind?
To trade a cross of shame for glory of mankind,
To sell a crown of life for pennies on the dime,
And trade eternity for one moment in time,
For if the key to life is right here in my hand,
Why would I trade it for an hourglass of sand,
Or choose the riches of this mortal coil?
[[???] from praises of man].

Why does my Internet connexion refuse me access to Amazon (and a lot of others) from all my computers ??? (second time in appends to me)
Is there a way to purchase it from an Android mobile phone ? (Amazon asks me to download a stupid non-uninstalable app in order to be able to download the track -_-").
From where else can I buy the track ?

All joking aside, could someone upload it please? Or perhaps to GrooveShark? I have no way of buying it from iTunes/Amazon, and I really want to hear it! (I have no credit card or Paypal or anything, since I'm only 15.)
I am in the same situation (excepted that my father has a credit card but we just CANNOT access amazon for an unknown reason).
I found a solution for that : I asked a friend to buy and send me the track, and I'll give him what it costed. You should try that solution

You only need a debit card?
I wouldn't feel right uploading it myself, at least not without the permission of Theocracy, what with it being so new. I do use Grooveshark though, and I'm sure it's quite a legal app. It's the only way I can listen to the self-titled Theocracy album!
To be honest, I'm really rather unsure about the rules on how you can use music. I uploaded a video of me playing along to Absolution Day on Audiosurf a few weeks ago and I assume that's alright, but I'm not sure where the line is drawn. I'd take it down in a flash if the band weren't happy with it, of course. Where does one draw the line? Wish this stuff wasn't so confusing
Edit: sorry, didn't mean to derail the thread!
I did download the single earlier today, listened to it 5 times already, got great expectations for the album release

Wow. This is without a doubt one of the best songs you guys have done. Top notch progressive power metal. Love the riffs, the lyrics, the solo, heck - EVERYTHING about this is great.

It's a good tune. To be honest it took a few listens to get into it, not as impacting right away as I got from previous works, but it sounds great.
