Slaughter to Prevail '1984' Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
What if it's about you?
What if these tears are shed at your house too?
You will smear this sh!t on the white walls
In your own house with your fam
Conscience is dead
I, I see the marching troops
Hurts, But i see friends there
Have no face, Have no fate
Can't figure out, You're a dumb or what?
Death and pain trails behind the crowd
What is it all about?
[Chorus]
Please stop the violence
Please stop the bloodshed on earth
Look into the eyes of children
Who are scared and remеmber remembеr yourself
Please stop the violence
Please stop the bloodshed on earth
My brother, My brother
Anger will live in memory
Anger will live and prevail
[Refrain]
Pretend you are not guilty
Pretend you don't see this sh!t
Pretend this is not your war
Pretend, Fu*k
[Verse 2]
War!
Their eyes are damned, Their faith is crucified
Their faith is crucified
War!
Their tongue is stone
Their tongue is dead
War!
This son of a b!tch will stick a knife in your back
Ascend, Adaption
1984, 1984
You woke up and saw a funnel instead of a home
You woke up and saw a funnel instead of a home
Ascend, Adaption
1984, 1984
You woke up and saw a funnel instead of a home
And your anger will never leave you alone
You just need to find someone to blame
[Chorus]
Please stop the violence
Please stop the bloodshed on earth
Look into the eyes of children
Who are scared and remember remember yourself
Please stop the violence
Please stop the bloodshed on earth
My brother, My brother
Anger will live in memory
Anger will live and prevail
[Bridge]
Ascend, Adaptation
1984, 1984 in real life
You woke up and saw a funnel instead of a home
And your anger will never leave you alone
[Outro]
Anger will live in memory
Anger will live in memory
Anger will live in memory
Anger will live and prevail

A little bit about the band:
Kostolom is the epic second LP from the duo Alex Terrible and Jack Simmons’ band Slaughter to Prevail. The album expands on the dynamic extremes of their 2017 debut, Misery Sermon — pairing Alex’s dark, cathartic lyrics with Simmons’ pummeling riffs and tense, cinematic solos. “We wanted to make each song for us stand out in a different way,” the guitarist says. “On some of the songs, we focused on wanting to keep it uptempo, building to a breakdown as the focal point. Other songs it was about groove or the chorus — ‘how can we make this melodic?’ The albums we love the most have those dynamics, and we want to use them to make each part hit harder.”
The songs evolved over several years, the first demos constructed shortly before the release of Misery Sermon. And they finally finished the material in late 2020, with everyone (Alex, Simmons, bassist Mikhail Petrov, guitarist Dmitry Mamedov) having tracked their respective parts at home. (Evgeny Novikov recorded his drums at a nearby studio in Moscow.)
As always, Slaughter to Prevail aim to provoke you, even as they empower you. “We want something that causes an emotion — whether it’s good or bad, disappointment or excitement or whatever,” Simmons says. “We don’t want something that’s stereotypical.”
The band has been openly against the war in Ukraine on social media.
Members:
Alex Terrible (Vocals), Jack Simmons (Guitar), Mike Petrov (Bass), Evgeny Novikov (Drums).

“This song I wrote when war got started. I can’t stay silent about all this situation. We made a simple video clip just to say what we think about the war and wanted to post it as soon as possible. Unfortunately, it didn’t work out quickly. This song is not the usual. It’s not like us. But this is the cry of my soul. War is always a huge tragedy for everyone. Please stop the violence and this war. I know many of you wanted to hear something different from us. But right now we want do it this way and sounds like that. This is our message. I am from Russia. I love my country, I love our fans from there and I can’t believe it goes so far from 2014. God save us all. Stay human.”
