about
"Goliath" is from Aussie rock-powerhouse Karnivool. It originally appeared on their album "Sound Awake" and now slinks and slithers its way onto the Saw 3D Soundtrack.
“The band build the intensity slowly but surely, before collapsing in a jail of expansive melodies that, when at their best, are little short of breathtaking. This is genuinely impressive stuff.” – Ryan Bird, KERRANG! (4 ‘K’s)
“Introducing the progressive rock album of the year… They have a knack of making perfect melodic sense out of strange time signatures and complex, layered intricacies that is simply on a higher plane to others.” – Guitarist Magazine (4 1/2 stars)
“A sprawling work of melody, mood, tempo and musicianship… Intricacy, pedantry and perfection.” – Rolling Stone AU (4 stars)
“Geography won’t prevent Australian band Karnivool from achieving stardom in America—-the group’s dynamic of propulsive rhythms, dramatic ambience, uncompromising intensity and lyrics that speak of heightened consciousness transcend all borders.” – Christa Titus, Billboard
“… one of Australia’s best exports” – Christina Fuoco-Karasinski, AOL/Noise Creep
“‘Sound Awake’ is an album of immense progressive proportions that boast some brilliant atmospherics, excellent melodies courtesy of vocalist Ian Kenny, accomplished musicianship and adventurous songwriting.” – Darren Sadler, Rock Sound
“‘Sound Awake’ is the band’s finest work to date – an ambitious exploration of sound that borders on sheer genius.” – Faster Louder
“… it’s almost impossible to find a scuff anywhere on this gem… This is a powerfully diverse album, thick with artful instrumentation, and a sheer ability to kick an unprecedented amount of arse. Well worth the wait.” – Atticus Bastow, Inpress
“Unpretentiously, they’ve had a crack at writing a masterpiece. Unceremoniously, they have succeeded. Only good things can come from such a brilliantly honest, and honestly brilliant work of art.” – Mike Wafer, Xpress Mag
lyrics
I want you, I've seen your ways
Show yourself better than what you make believe
All I hear Is the sound of sleep
Deafening
Comfort in the arms of sweet dreams
Now, this won't take long
We'll rise up again
And rewrite these wrongs
I won't do it
I've rushed you
Patiently
Guarding the life that you deceived
I've crawled for you
Or so they say
We rise to it
Fall again into the same dream
You won't have to wait long
They'll show up again
Make way for the fall
Wake up there's blood in
your sweat when you
wake up
Cower, bloodsucking liar
Who you gonna call when you wake up?
See now
What you gonna see when you wake up?
Beg, you little fucking liar
Your head on this chopping board
If this is entertaining
I hope you all enjoy the view
Wide awake and still asleep
I'm failing this riddle in my head, I
I'm failing to get it can you say?
Honestly?
Wide awake and still asleep
Don't leave this too long
(It won't take long)
Tomorrow will come
(Hang around)
You won't have to wait long
(We'll rise up again)
It's your day in the sun
They've shown up again
They've shown up again
They've shown up again
They've shown up again
Please wake up!!
Please wake up!!
