I am a BIG fan of Thrice.

 

 


Thrice is an American rock band
from Irvine, California, formed in 1998.
The group was founded by guitarist/vocalist
Dustin Kensrue and guitarist Teppei Teranishi
while they were in high school


I must of first heard them in 2001 or so and had never heard anything like it. I went out and bought their CD and listened to it over 100 times. I actually had to import it, because no one new who they were. The band has since grow and released many albums. They have traveled the world and have earned the respect of millions. Their newer stuff has become very experimental, they have all grow up a lot. This one song sticks in my mind all the time and I thought I would share the lyrics with you. They are quite hardcore, but I do think this represents our world today. When I look around I see most in pain and very few in absolute luxury, it’s NOT right! I suggest you get the album and take note of the lyrics. Dustin is a genius.


All Whole World Is Mad


We are saints made of plaster, our laughter is canned;
We are demons that hide in the mirror.
But the blood on our hands paints a picture exceedingly clear. 

We are brimming with cumbersome, murderous greed,
And malevolence deep and profound.
We do unspeakable deeds, does our wickedness know any bounds?

Something’s gone terribly wrong with everyone;
All the world is mad.
Darkness brings terrible things; the sun is gone-
What vanity! our sad, wretched fires.

We can’t medicate man to perfection again;
We can’t legislate peace in our hearts.
We can’t educate sin from our souls, it’s been there from the start.

But the blind lead the blind into bottomless pits,
Still we smile and deny that we’re cursed.
But of all our iniquities ignorance may be the worst.

Oh, what little light we have!
It only serves to show
The snares and seeds of wrath
We have already sewn on every path.
