Control Denied - Cut Down

The band Control Denied was formed by Chuck Schuldiner to create progressive/heavy metal, mixed with elements of death metal recognizable in his earlier band Death. The band started in 1996 as Schuldiner wanted to procure a more melodic style than was possible with Death. The project was interrupted by Death's release The Sound of Perseverance in 1998, but finally the debut album was released in 1999. A second album, tentatively titled When Man And Machine Collide, was partly recorded, but the death of Schuldiner in 2001, put the recordings on hold. Remaining band members have expressed a wish to complete and release the material

lyrics - I see right through your mind
I see your kind, I know your game
Surviving on the soul of a song

Please tell me how you escape
From the guilt that should eat at your mind
When you lay down to sleep
So many precious lives lost
Picking up the shattered dreams broken by you

You'll be cut down to size when we're all done with you
When you're cut down to size we will look down
on you

Why is life a game where we are forced to play
I think it's safe to assume
Don't feed off a loss or a win
The reward is to survive

As you breathe you abuse the gift of life
Inhaling hope into your black heart
No guilt no shame once again empty words are to blame

You know it's Chuck when you hear the guitar. No one else has such a beastly tone.

[Pilgrimage85]

Damn it, listening to Chuck on guitar makes me want to start writing riffs again.

@sksmonkey I don't want to be offensive but did the 12 year old survive?

[dwayne515]

you can just tell the riffs are so thought through!

@metalheadedtothemax Biber doesn't even have a brain to lookup for Control Denied...

[sksmonkey]

a 14 yearold from my school was driving without a liscense, and he got into an accident and because of that a 12 year old has a 30% chance to live. This song shows my anger at his stupidity

plus it is one of my favorite songs

[HipHopHaterRock4ever]
