  • It's funny 'cause they're Canadian.

  • I first heard this song when I was 15, right when this album came out. This song blew my mind, because I had just started playing guitar and I was getting into heavier music. This whole album still gives me chills, the instrumentals and Rody's vocal range are incredible.

  • WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO OUR CHILDRENNNN

    chills.

    every fucking time.

  • This song makes me smoke.

  • because of protest the hero, i was turned onto arif, because of arif i was turned onto fyodor dostoevsky, because of fyodor dostoevsky my life has changed; therefore, protest the hero changed my life :)

  • Imagine if hair metal in the 80s was like this... then imagine where we would be now.

  • @n008r4p3r we would all be robots

  • I LOVE THIS BAND!!!!

  • @opt1hax There is alot better harmonious parts and more of them on scurrilous

  • 1:51-2:15 might be one of the most chilling, harmonious, flawless seconds of music I've ever heard in my entire life.

  • awesome intro!

  • "I'm still a cigarette softly smoking at the edge of a metal ash tray, I beg this place to let me burn, and it whispered burn away."

    sometimes i just cry during that part. not because its sad. not because of any emotional attachment, but only because I'll never write anything half as great as that line.

  • favorite line:

    "The day civil glory

    dismembered my civility,

    I could've parted rips and flesh-

    like a different kind of red sea!"

    Represents the executioner very well

  • probably the best song in the universe

  • the intro sounds soooo awesome

  • What will happen to our children when the least of us pass on?

    Us who fought the monsters of our country's crowded closet

    Us who dropped the bombs on goodness when we saw it wasn't flawless

    Us whose youthful life was hostage to what harm did

    Us who fought the hardest to be swept under the carpet

    If you think Arif isn't a poet just based of of those lines alone you need serious serious help. That's fucking beautiful.

  • @joness889 Personally my favorite line from any PTH song is "I'm tired and I'm cold and I want to go to bed, but theres no one here to tuck me in so this shotgun will instead" but all of Arif's lyrics are fucking amazing.

  • i remember being told that Kezia claimed to be god or jesus and thats why she was locked up. 1) for her blasphemous claims, and 2) for the fact that was she was a woman. (gender in-equality. ).

  • Apparently Kezia claims to be the second coming of jesus?

    and thats considered BLASPHEMY.

  • I thought he was shouting "Butters" the first time i listened. Southpark.

  • 2:33 to the end is amazing

  • @Zoidbear you mean 0:00 to the end is amazing

  • what time in history do all these lyrics take place?

  • @Papertigons probably around the time the shotgun was invented, as it has been metioned several times in the lyrics (it may be metaforical). And around the time of gender in-equality and execution was very much exeptable.

  • @Papertigons its about a girl in a concentration camp so world war 1

  • @sychoman13 are you serious...

    CONCENTRATION CAMP!!! C'mon dude, wrong war there bud, and I'm pretty sure Kezia isn't going to be executed in a concentration camp. What I have figured out is that she has been declared as a heritic by the church by expressing her own views. Didn't you notice the catholic metionings throughtout the album (no stars over bethleheem, hertics and killers) yet no metions of Nazi's...

  • @bean14hawks i am dead serious. there a three point of views the prison guard "kezia" her self and the priest. notice how in divine suicide of k. she says " I'm doing it in tattered shoes that aren't even mine Because my own are in a box locked up with possessions I can't have "and in blind folds aside the prison guard says " To atone for a sin I didn't care for, but a sin that paid my debts A sin that fed my children and burned my smiles and cigarettes" saying he is with killing her

  • @sychoman13 Well first of all allow me to once again say THERE WERE NO CONCENTRATION CAMPS IN WW1 !!

    And secondly Kezia is being killed because the church says so (first songs on the album) Now I know there are 3 persona's the PRISON priest, the PRISON guard and Kezia. Kezia's exectution isn't based on her being Jewish it's because she expressed her own views (or something or other) and has been declared a heritic. I seriosly don't get how she could be in a concentration camp

  • @sychoman13 yes I know there's the one line that mentions her shoes, in concentration camps every one had their shoes taken away, not given to them. She is in a PRISON (hence- prison guard, prison priest) now the second line you give is from the prison guards persona, and that line is saying that he doesn't want to do what he's doing, he has sympaty for Kezia and would like to let her go, but he has to keep his job to keep his family alive.

  • @bean14hawks actually that does sound right didn't know it was prison priest and prison guard this is just what i was told before but your version does sound better.

  • @sychoman13 glad to enlighten you :)

    btw it is a truly great album in all aspects, still my fav.

  • @bean14hawks i agree, fortress does not even come close in song structure and emotion, its all over the place but still unbeleivably epic :)

  • @number82gold All of PTH is beyond epic it is on a level of its own.

  • @number82gold

    fortress has better instrumentals,and better song writing, much more epic atmosphere

  • @ShroomSamich instrumentals maybe, lyrics I like kezia more. either way both albums are epic.

  • @IGNsucks

    true both are amazing in there own way i cannot wait for there new album!

  • @ShroomSamich in my humble but accurate opinion, kezia was beter

  • @sychoman13 I think youre reading into it too much, it takes place in a prison, but as for a concentration camp. i dont think so. i see your point about the shoes but every prisoner has all their things taken away, plus if she was in a concentration camp they would of killed her with gas instead of a firing squad as it was too expensive and Kezia is executed by firing squad.

  • "daughters...Daughters...DAUGH­TERS!" Love that part.

  • protest the fucking hero is the shit lol

  • Protest the F-ing Hero indeed

  • no fucking shit

  • Good lad. More of that.

    Sound for down rating me too, I fucking love that shit.

  • @cianinthesack

    As long as you aren't too "loud" about it.

    (Allowed?)

    English sure is a tricky language.

  • It is when you're dyslexic, yes.

    At least now I know why I got so many thumbs down.

    +1.

  • lol good one

  • i'm playing right now this song in my bass... it;s so fuckin insane!!!

  • i love it

  • Awesome song
