It's "This is a family. We won't CRUMBLE IN the face of our enemies" ;) Glad you like it though everybody! One of our favorites for sure. Tried to mix in Hounds + Like Father Like Son just for you guys.
I really like this album. You can really feel the passion. Hope their new album will be just as raw :/ Songs like this are so powerful. I jam this and "Life Cycles" in the shower.
What do you mean they need a new vocalist? Telle has a unique voice and scream and that's what makes it so easy to remember it and immediately realize that it's him. He also gives it his all and cares about the music and the fans. He's a great vocalist and a great person

i hope you realize that you commenting back to me is quite possibly the greatest thing ive ever experianced lol. i love your band. i love your music. i just bought this CD. and the fact that you are involved in your songs comments on youtube makes you the greatest band/ musician that im aware of. keep it up man! :D
The harmonic minor does sound VERY similar to the Egyptian scale. Check it out! It's a really fun scale to play, and fun to write music with as well! :)
I'll fight for my friends, my family. ps.this album is on sale at best buy. price says 9.99 but its actually 7.99 at checkout. if you can't work for about an hour at a minimum wage job to pay for something a team of people worked on for almost a year, theres something wrong with the world. sucks that preorders aren't out yet, but its worth the wait (: check out the bonus tracks smoke monster and the conscience in the meantime. teamTWA
TELLE PLEASE ANSWER THIS: PLEASE, OH PLEASE, COME TO ALBANY NEW YORK! YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH THE WORD ALIVE IS WANTED HERE! TELLE PLEASE HAVE ALBANY BE IN THE NEXT TOURS TO COME! PLEEEEEAAASSSEEEE!
Haha, well, back in 2010, I talked with Zack from the band about writing the song, and he was the one who introduced me to the scale, as well as explaining that the song was written using that scale! It also would make sense calling the song "The Hounds of Anubis" being written in the Egyptian scale. :)
anyone notice that he says "i'm still the king of the world" at the end of this song to go with him saying "i'm the king of the world" in the first song of the album deceiver? That's boss
i'm still the king of the world/i'll never falter or squander my dreams/i've still got control over my enemies/they still beg me for mercy/show no mercy/i've fought for this kingdom/i'll take hold of what is mine/i'll be the lord of the universe/if you want me, i'm right here/i'd give everything, everything that i had/there's always a war within me/i'd never let it show/i'll never let my family down/fight for what you stand for/i feel further than a thousand oceans/my thoughts are
I'm trying to get into these guys because they are coming to the UK in December and I want to see them because I See Stars and Dayshell are going to be there. They sound fucking amazing, hope I can go and watch them!
do you do that on everyalbum? on consider it mutual it says this is how to build an empire obviously refrencing the empire ep. do you plan on referencing the last album every album? i think it would be an interesting idea
this era of The Word Alive is the best thing that could happen to metal music at its time
Amen to that
*metalcore music
Debatable
It's "This is a family. We won't CRUMBLE IN the face of our enemies" ;) Glad you like it though everybody! One of our favorites for sure. Tried to mix in Hounds + Like Father Like Son just for you guys.
Definitely still awesome 2022

That little synth at the beginning that plays through most of the background is so fucking dope.
A really underrated band
LOVE THIS SONG.
Lyrics For Dragon Spell
I'm still the king of the world
I'll never faulter or squander my dreams
I've still got control
Over my enemies
They still beg me for mercy
Show no mercy
Show no mercy
I've fought for this kingdom
I'll take all of that is mine
I'll be the lord of the universe
If you want me, I'm right here
I gave everything
Everything that I have
There's always a war within me
I never let it show, I'll never let my family down
Fight for what you stand for
I feel further than a thousand oceans
My thoughts are eating at me now
I have too much riding on me
To be the man I was born to be
This is a family
We won't crumble at the face of our enemies
This is a family
We won't crumble at the face of our enemies
This is a family
Dont fuck with family
We won't fall
I will not ever let this kingdom fall
I gave everything
Everything that I have
There's always a war within me
I never let it show
I'll never let my family down
Fight for what you stand for
If you were me
Would you stand strong, would you fold?
My sacrifice
My sacrifice
I'm never giving up
For those I love
My sacrifice
My sacrifice
Your dreams have come to an end
Because this was mine and I won't give in
Your dreams have come to an end
Because this was mine and I won't give in
Your dreams have come to an end
I'll never lose sight of what I believe
I'll fight for my friends, my family
We won't fall
I'd give everything
Everything that I have
There's always a war within me
I never let it show, I'll never let my family down
Fight for what you stand for
If you were me
Would you stand strong, would you fold?
My sacrifice
My sacrifice
I'm never giving up
For those I love
My sacrifice
My sacrifice
I'm still the king of the world
I'm still the king of the world
why doesn't this band have more recognition?
i love how the members of TWA interact so much with their fans. Thats why they're not only my favorite band, but my favorite people
Y'all diggin this shit in 2024 or what? It's THAT fucking badass!
Dragon Spell, Hidden Lakes and Belong are my favorite songs from Life Cycles. such a great album!
I FOUGHT FOR THIS KINGDOM!!
Wow It for real took this long to realize the opening is a throwback to the hounds of anubis
+Oliver-Vic Carquinn And the opening line is a reference to The Hounds Of Anubis
a throwback to when they were actually worth a damn/: this was their last good song IMO
Wes Crago imagine saying this was their last good song but you listen to Russ lmao
The World Alive - Dragon Spell Lyrics
I'm still the king of the world

I have so much riding on me
To be the man I was born to be
This is a family
We won't crumble in the face of our enemies
This is a family
We won't crumble in the face of our enemies
This is a family
Don't fuck with family
We won't fall
I will not ever let this kingdom fall
I'd give everything,

Fight for what you stand for
If you were me, would you stand strong,

Your dreams have come to an end
Because this was mine and I won't give in
Your dreams have come to an end
Because this was mine and I won't give in
Your dreams have come to an end
I'll never lose sight of what I believe
I'll fight for my friends, my family
We won't fall
I'd give everything,
Everything that I had
There's always a war within me
I'd never let it show,
I'll never let my family down
Fight for what you stand for

XD bruh the lyrics he has are right idk where you got that but yeahhhh um no lmfao google it
im so happy... :') I don't think i've ever been THIS stoked for an album! I love you guys!!
This is one of the few bands that i will actually support by buying the album instead of just downloading it. True story.
the tone colors are just flowing every where! this is just truly amazing.
I wonder if someone ever in this video will talk about the freaking song... its a freaking amazing track, it kicks so much ass >:)
"I'm the king of the world" - Hounds of Anubis, "I'm still the king of the world" - Dragonspell
MY FAVORITE ALBUM EVER
telle is a boss on this album. this song is my favorite personally, it gets me so pumped. love how it's sort of like a sequel to hounds of anubis
best song to start off an amazing album
i hope you realize that you commenting back to me is quite possibly the greatest thing ive ever experianced lol. i love your band. i love your music. i just bought this CD. and the fact that you are involved in your songs comments on youtube makes you the greatest band/ musician that im aware of. keep it up man! :D
Good lord dude....This band is of a caliber that very few bands are. This is insane........
I've been a fan of these guys since the very beginning, and they just keep getting more amazing. This album is so fantastic!!
The Piano in this song
Please come back to this style 😭
almost every band that was releasing music around these years need to go back to this bad ass sht. it's sad they ever left.
He knows how to play the song because he's the drummer for The Word Alive.
who’s here listening in 2023?..this album is a treasure.
Hands down the best song to open an album.
god this album sends chills
Best band ever, guys.
This song is so fucking unreal, cannot stop listening legit.
The harmonic minor does sound VERY similar to the Egyptian scale. Check it out! It's a really fun scale to play, and fun to write music with as well! :)
two best bands in this genre right now, good for you
LOVE this song!!!
Cant wait for their concert in Rices Landing PA its going to be epic
HE HAS A BEAUTIFUL VOICE :D
They matured, got better, and are killing the metal game! ;D
As soon as i get paid, i'm going to buy this album! so so so good
9 years ♥
Thank you The Word Alive, to saving my life!
had to listen to this song a couple of times to really take it in. love it.
You must not know that Luke Holland is the drummer to this band, as said on his video cover, of his own song, covering his own drums, on his channel.
I'll fight for my friends, my family.
ps.this album is on sale at best buy. price says 9.99 but its actually 7.99 at checkout. if you can't work for about an hour at a minimum wage job to pay for something a team of people worked on for almost a year, theres something wrong with the world. sucks that preorders aren't out yet, but its worth the wait (: check out the bonus tracks smoke monster and the conscience in the meantime. teamTWA
Wow, havent listened to the Word Alive for a while now, and damn! they stepped their shit up
this album took a couple months to grow on me but now i love it
uno de sus mejores temas

@telletwa this song is amazing! i love the intro. and nice breakdown! your one of my favorite christian bands!
TELLE PLEASE ANSWER THIS: PLEASE, OH PLEASE, COME TO ALBANY NEW YORK! YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH THE WORD ALIVE IS WANTED HERE! TELLE PLEASE HAVE ALBANY BE IN THE NEXT TOURS TO COME! PLEEEEEAAASSSEEEE!
legit song! so good!!!
Yea this and Evolution!! Pretty dope!!
Haha, well, back in 2010, I talked with Zack from the band about writing the song, and he was the one who introduced me to the scale, as well as explaining that the song was written using that scale! It also would make sense calling the song "The Hounds of Anubis" being written in the Egyptian scale. :)
Oh, well I knew you were Telle! You guys are an awesome influence in my life.
Egyptian Scale is just a mode of Harmonic Minor, start the Harmonic Minor scale from the fifth degree.
anyone notice that he says "i'm still the king of the world" at the end of this song to go with him saying "i'm the king of the world" in the first song of the album deceiver? That's boss
@telletwa any studio updates filmed for this? maybe a live DVD in the near future? would love to see either :)
"I'M STILL THE KING OF THE WORLD"
i'm still the king of the world/i'll never falter or squander my dreams/i've still got control over my enemies/they still beg me for mercy/show no mercy/i've fought for this kingdom/i'll take hold of what is mine/i'll be the lord of the universe/if you want me, i'm right here/i'd give everything, everything that i had/there's always a war within me/i'd never let it show/i'll never let my family down/fight for what you stand for/i feel further than a thousand oceans/my thoughts are
1:47 . . . "Don't fuck with family."
Reference to "Like Father Like Son" off their Deciever album.
Badass :)
Just so you know I haven't been sick on tour in over a year and a half, and it wasn't my voice/throat that was the issue when I was sick.
love
Amazing.
Well said, my friend.
hell's yeah dude that song rocks!
hell yes!!!
I have gotten mine yet either, still waiting
I don't think anyone here is serious. It's mainly sarcasm or boredem. We all love eachother.
The Hounds Of Anubis: "I'm the king of the world".
Dragon Spell: "I'm still the king of the world".
Of course!
He also says that in the very beginning of the song.
I'm still the king of the world.
Picks up where deciever left off.
Ahh twa you never fail to amaze
AMAZING!!!
Fuck, ten years has passed already... life is going on really fast
Hounds of Anubis pt.2
"Fight for what you stand for."
Lawl. Most of big fans of The Word Alive would know who their new drummer is.
Sick ass song
needs more lyric videos!
awesome !
Esta buena
Fuck yeeeeeessss! I knew as soon as these guys got some damn budgeting they would put out some amazing shit :b looks like the wait was worth it
Still a banger in 2024
3:37 . the drums though
My nachos are unforgiving! I'm jk. Still a fav album
I don't care if Luke Holland didnt play on this album... I still picture him behind the drums when listening to it
The Hounds of Anubis - Im the King of the world! Dragon Spell- IM STILL THE KING OF THE WORLD
I'm trying to get into these guys because they are coming to the UK in December and I want to see them because I See Stars and Dayshell are going to be there. They sound fucking amazing, hope I can go and watch them!
he also says it in the beginning. More Boss
luke didn't write, nor recorded anything of this album, he got in after the drums were already recorded (or the whole album i can't remember)
my thoughts exactly
do you do that on everyalbum? on consider it mutual it says this is how to build an empire obviously refrencing the empire ep. do you plan on referencing the last album every album? i think it would be an interesting idea
it's funny cause most people who says that some band is best EVER usually change their mind within a month
and i love it :X
dude... dude...... dude........ THATS THE FRICKEN DRUMMER FOR THIS BAND!!!
im not going to be anywere to buy this tommorrow :(
Dont hate! They started playing this song already on their last tour before the Cd came out :)
