The Killing Tree - Counting to Infinity

The Killing Tree - Counting to Infinity from "The Romance of Helen Trent" 2002

Great song...

Lyrics:
I've seen nations
I've seen empires
rise and fall in your eyes
just enough to come crawling back to you
but not enough to turn the tide
the song she sings infects my ears
the dances she dances fills my eyes
helpless to her beckoning
inside her smile
I'm hypnotized
no one gets out of here alive

I am counting to infinity with you
so don't worry about me
either way I'll despise you
at least put up a fight
give me something to do
I am counting to infinity with you

so let me hear you scream my name
until the blood drips from your throat
so come lets play these games
until we bleed or until we choke

you spent your life just withing you were dead
so you tried and tried but then said these things take time
so overwhelmed with guilt that clouds my head
I'll trade these thoughts of you fro something else instead
so come on in right now this waters fine
let me clip your wings so you can never leave
I'm giving up on thoughts of infinity (scream my name).

A good singer? He is one of the strongest and best promoted singers I've ever heard. He has a lot of capability, he can sing and scream! You can tell though (the difference between his singing) on here, in this band, and as a member as Rise Against. His vocals are very different. Also, the lead guitarist (He screams in the background also) is the lead guitarist of Rise Against too ;)

@karatemon52 sorry but i must correct you, the killing tree background singer is not the guitarist (todd mohney). The bass player is singing/screaming the background vocals in the killing tree.

This is like post hardcore version of rise against, it's awesome!

[ReneBrain]

@BlueFluidStudios i don't think so, i thinl this is the way melodic hardcore should be

@ReneBrain

I'm pretty sure Todd also does background vocals for this song only. You can hear him around 1:05.

[ForgottenForsaken33]

who the fuck made that dislike.

[alanihawaii123]

I love how, to me, the song is basically saying "I absolutely hate you, so don't try to convince me anything else. I'm with you because I'm completely fascinated by you." In other words, the best bittersweet song EVER. XD

@lazylahma Yeah, he has heterochromia, not that interesting.

[Klatjofsky]

@lazylahma I do, but that's probably 'cause I have bad eye-sight.
