Voices of Violence Lyrics

Dont wait for
A knight in shining armor
Your saviour's
Reflected in the mirror
These flowers
Have grown from blood stains on the ground

Go rake the
Leaves off your grass and my grave
The fact is
Everyone bleeds when they shave
Theres no use,
So don't deny we're just the same

We'll take it back
Broken dagger, southern swagger
Voices of violence, voices of violence
We'll take it back
Broken dagger, southern swagger
Voice of violence, voices of violence

These cowboys
Will run off in the sunset
Once their toys
Have turned another profit
Back fire,
Their smoking guns will never rest

Unleash the
Skeletons from the closet
These Strangers
Like friends that you never meet
They'll send them
Sympathies with a Hallmark card

We'll take it back
Broken dager, southern swagger
Voices of violence, voices of violence
We'll take it back
Broken dagger, southern swagger
Voices of violence, voices of violence

Even after im dead and buried
I'll still remember, I'll still remember
Even after im dead and buried
I'll still remember, I'll still remember
Even after im dead and buried
I'll come back fighting, I'll come back fighting

We'll take it back
Voices of violence, voices of violence
We'll take it back
Voices of violence, voices of violence

Voices of violence will always be heard
Voices of violence, voices of violence
voices of violence will always be heard
Voices of violence, voices of violence

Billy Talent is a Juno Award-winning Canadian rock band formed in 1993. They performed and recorded together for about a decade before finding a wide mainstream following. Originally called Pezz, the group originates from Streetsville, in Mississauga, Ontario, but now hail from Toronto, Ontario.

The name is inspired by a character named "Billy Tallent" in the 1993 book "Hard Core Logo" by Michael Turner (filmed in 1996) and it has been the name of the band since 2001, after a dispute with the American Pezz.

To date, the band have released five studio albums, the first under the name Pezz named "Watoosh!", the second under the Billy Talent name is called "Billy Talent" with the third called "Billy Talent II". The fourth album,"Billy Talent III", released in 2009, was produced by Brendan O'Brien, who previously worked with AC/DC, Rage Against the Machine, Pearl Jam and The Offspring, among others.
The fifth album called "Dead Silence" was released in september 2012.

Billy Talent have also released a live DVD/CD, "666" featuring live performances from London, Dusseldorf, and the Rock Am Ring festival, held at the Nürburgring in Germany. They have also released two live albums from London and Manchester in September of 2006, of which only 500 of each exist.

Drummer Aaron Solowoniuk revealed that the song "This Is How It Goes" was written for him by Ben with the subject being Aaron's struggle with multiple sclerosis, in an open letter to fans posted on the official website in March 2006. As a sign of the dedication to finding a cure for MS, the band hold an annual show in Canada named "F.U.MS" in which all funds go towards the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada. In it's first year, F.U.MS raised $19,000, and in it's second raised $50,000.
