Silverstein - The Altar/Mary
The Altar/Mary is taken from Silverstein’s album Misery Made Me, out now.
Stream / download - unfd.lnk.to/MiseryMadeMe
Born into a cage that leads
Directly to the slaughter
Ritual sacrifice at the altar of
The altar of the fucking dollar
The machine needs blood
The show must go on
Can’t have the upper class
If there’s no one underneath them
(So they’re) sawing through
The top rungs
Before selling you
A chance to climb the corporate ladder
At the base of the ivory tower
The bodies pile up
Lured you with a future but it won’t exist
Shamed you for a failure
That they won’t admit
Somebody has to die
As a warning to the rest
Shut up and get in line
Take what you can get
Oh lord
I wish that I could quit
But the idol in the middle
Tends to rule with a fist
I’m not blind
But my hands are tied
I’ll tint my lenses rose
I’m handing people hope
They’d rather make ends meet
Than meet their maker with a rope right?
I’m not satan just a friend
So I might pay my penance
When I get my dividend
Somebody has to die
I say I’m okay but I’ve got a ways to go
Both ends of the candle burn the rope
So talk to me talk to me I’ve got it bad
Forgot what I needed lost what I had
Mary
I feel the devil in this room tonight
I’m fading
I’m a sinner and I can’t stop now
Unless I hold my breath
Long enough to see god
Somebody wake me up
‘Cause I’d rather be anywhere else
And if I don’t come back
You could be my epitaph
I could live in painted glass
Just like you

Silverstein, would you do us a favor, release a bad album for once so we can finally say," I like their old stuff better." 20 years of incredible content. Thank you guys, for real.
i love everything about this song - it's exciting, it's heavy, it's experimental, it's poetic! we all love shane's vocals and screams but EXCUSE ME PAUL MARC?! VOCALS FOR DAYS
Easily my favourite track on this album. The whole thing is a masterpiece.
This is one hell of a beast to add to the Silverstein Discography.
I need extended versions of both parts. Hearing this song live… SPEECHLESS… GOOSEBUMPS
I had to do a double take on the EDM part of the song, I thought that was Dustin Bates from starset
The Mary part of this song gotta be the most ethereal material we've ever heard from Silverstein, I hope there's more of this kinda style in the future!
This is the best song they have released in YEARS I AM SO STOKED
I don't understand how this has under 20k views...these songs are MASSIVE.
Oooof! Silverstein and Thrice evolve like no other!
0:42
Absolutely amazing live. Like the shear energy this song brings to shows is so great.
Both of these should be their own song approximately 4 minutes long 😅
Holy hell, I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this and ears! The boys are killing it, this was heavy as f***! I absolutely love this, soo happy they are back!
I love these, especially Mary
Born into a cage that leads
I’m on my 15th listen and I STILL have insane chills during the ending. Wow wow wow
They have an unwavering belief.
Not sure what I just heard, but I think I loved it
Best song of this album. Hands down.
