LYRICS:
------------

Get out of my way
Because I've seen it all before
There is nothing you can say
That will stop me standing tall

Stand up for what you want
Even if they turn their backs
Don't let them tear your dreams apart
It's time to take your life back

Closing the eyes of surrender
Open your own eyes and never give in
If there’s nowhere to call your home
Take hold of your life, and make the journey alone

I've swallowed my pride for way too long
It's time to let my life evolve
There's no more time left now to waste
It's time to get up and annihilate

Closing the Eyes of Surrender

LYRICS:
------------

The sheep have been misled
Along a road of misbelief
The final cards have all been played
It’s time to face the grief

You lost the path a long time ago
And still haven't found your way
The reckoning is drawing near
With every goddamn day

Born as sheep we go down the road, stumbling into lies
But to become the shepherd, one needs to step out of the line

It’s time to open your eyes
Shed your feeble skin and realise
Abandon your pathetic herd
And all the self-inflicting lies

This is where it all begins!

Born as sheep we go down the road, stumbling into lies
But to become the shepherd, one needs to step out of the line

Reckoning Lies

LYRICS:
------------

Humanity!
An error, a plague upon this place
Parasite!
A virus, with no end to this disgrace

When the end arrives
Will chaos take control?
Is there nothing we can do?
To avoid the unavoidable?

This is the annihilation
Of a race that once stood tall
The death of a generation
That has let its will devour us all

Take a look inside yourself
At the horror and despair
But the problems that we cannot face
Will torment us in our nightmares

As hard as we may try
We will never understand
This paradise we take for granted
Has taken its last stand

This is the annihilation
Of a race that once stood tall
The death of a generation
That has let its will devour us all

Annihilation of Humanity

Unleash the Deceased

LYRICS:
------------

One more attempt to fit in
To another plastic trend
One more value dead and gone
Another view on which to depend

You've shattered your own identity
As you stabbed yourself in the back
You stare at the mirror thoroughly
And wonder why no one stares back

This beaten path you follow
Is for the lost, the fake, the hollow

You’ve suffocated who you are
To blend in among the weak
It’s time to be reborn
Into something solid and unique

You've shattered your own identity
As you stabbed yourself in the back
You stare at the mirror thoroughly
And wonder why no one stares back

This beaten path you follow
Is for the lost, the fake, the hollow

You’ve been lost for so damn long
That the only way you know is wrong

Enchained by the Weak

LYRICS:
------------

We're all pieces in an endless game
Which has no purpose or final aim
Why do we force ourselves to pretend?
That it will all make sense in the end?

When the lies subside
Humanity will rise

Bound to this eternal deadlock
We pray to live through one more day
Not knowing how to break these chains
We repeat what happened yesterday

We reach the dawn of one more day
But not a goddamn thing has changed

We're convinced of our significance
Without seeing the world as it really is
So why do we keep on struggling
To repress what is so damn obvious?

Humanity will rise

Bound to this eternal deadlock
We pray to live through one more day
Not knowing how to break these chains
We repeat what happened yesterday

Deadlocked

LYRICS:
------------

A waste of time
Is what your life has become
So just take it right back
To make a goddamn mark

You've let those preconceptions
Dictate your every move
So now helplessly sinking
You’ve got nothing left to prove

Every foolish choice you made
Will hit you right back in the face
All you are is just one more
Fading reflection of a dying age

You’re just one more fading reflection of a dying age!

There’s a giant line that separates
The cowards from the strong
So take off those damn costumes
Because the time to hide is gone

Every foolish choice you made
Will hit you right back in the face
All you are is just one more
Fading reflection of a dying age

Fading!

Frail

LYRICS:
------------

An old generation, which doesn’t understand
The problems that the youth, might have to face
Brainwashed they try to, make your life a dream
A dream that they have, always tried to reach

Self-destruction makes you
Crash into walls
But self-confidence may
Open new doors

Their failure they think, will be your success
So they try to hold your life, in their pathetic hands
But they are way too blind, to be able to see
That you have your own dream, which could set you free

Their ignorance and denial, turns your life to hell
They have an ultimate goal, which is why you fell
But you have got to get up, to show the whole world
That you have not been beaten, by those sharp, harsh words

Self-destruction makes you,
Crash into walls
But self-confidence may,
Open new doors

Scarred by Denial

Behead The Dead is a Metalcore/Groove Metal band from Portugal. Previously known as Tribal Phever, Behead the dead are now back with a brand new style and name. Formed in December 2007 as a small heavy band, Behead The Dead are gradually becoming more than just a small band. Behead The Dead consists of three members: Matthew Jozsef (Lyricist and Vocalist), Adam Kirchberger (Drums) and Jeremy Pringsheim (Guitars). At first, Behead The Dead took a while to realise their true potential and style. When Tribal Phever was created, the band was mainly interested in exploring more complex music styles such as extreme metal and progressive metal. They wrote several songs to try and advance in this style, which they compiled to make their Demo album “An Absconding Recluse”, which was never publicly released. The main songs from this album were: “1000 Deaths”, “Sound of Pain” and “Train” – the latter is even sometimes included in set-lists nowadays.

Around February 2009, Adam and Jeremy decided that the music they had been writing previously wasn’t what they were really going for. The progressive style was interesting but what they were really aiming for was a much heavier sound. At this time, they were both heavily influenced by Machine Head, Pantera and Shadows Fall, specifically. Therefore, the kind of metal they had in mind was the groovy, powerful and energetic kind. With these influences in mind, they got back to the practice space and wrote both parts of the song “Incense”. When they recorded the whole song, got Matthew in to record vocals, and asked a friend of the band – Vasco Abreu – to record bass, they were very pleased with the results. So much so, that they decided to permanently change to this style.
When this decision became final, the band (who at that time, were still called Tribal Phever) decided to change their name to something that matched their new style. They came up with “Behead The Dead” and the transformation was made: Tribal Phever, a Progressive Metal band, had turned into Behead The Dead: a quickly advancing Groove Metal band that were ready to take their peers by storm!

Once they had this new style carved into their minds, they continued writing until they had enough songs to fill an EP. They then recorded and released these songs on an EP entitled “Unleash The Deceased”, which is available on many popular online music stores, such as iTunes, Amazon, LastFM, amongst many others. The band is extremely proud of the latest addition to their discography, and is currently on their “Annihilation Tour” in support of it. Apart from the songs from Unleash The Deceased, Behead The Dead are playing some new material on the tour, which is moving towards an even more substantial advance, musically and stylistically, influenced by bands like August Burns Red and Lamb of God.

The band’s plans for the future include building their fan-base, playing a load of concerts with more and more established metal acts and eventually record a full-length album, but only time will tell where these 3 young metal-heads will find themselves.
