Auch THE HAUNTED haben heute ihren Veröffentlichungstag. Genauer gesagt, “Songs Of Last Resort”, das zehnte Album der Thrasher ist heute erschienen und mit ihm auch das Video zum schön deftigen Nackenbrecher `Death To The Crown`.
Ola Englund schreibt:
“It’s about that feeling when you’re watching politicians or leaders treat real people like pawns in some kind of game… It’s heavy. It’s aggressive. It’s THE HAUNTED.”

Lyrics:
Our world stands on the edge
You preach before your minions,
A false prophet, a wolf herding the sheep
”I’m just a loud voice for the voiceless”, but all we hear is hypocrisy and deceit
But the walls are crumbling, in your empire of shame
As your kingdom is set ablaze
You will choke on your arrogance, while drunk on deceit,
And your crown will be scourged by the heat!
You aim high but you swing low, spitting poison won’t make a kingdom grow
No more silence, no more lies, as the truth erupts, there’s no place to hide
You suffocate freedom, and drown us in lies,
Twisting the truth as the innocent die,
But now as the tide turns, there’s no more retreat,
We’ll tear you down, death to the crown!!!
Your tower of power, your castle of hate,
Crumbles to ashes, you sealed your own fate,
The lies that you’ve woven, the pain that you’ve caused,
We’ll tear you down, death to the crown!!!
Now kneel in the rubble, your kingdom is gone,
The world keeps turning, and we march on
You thought you could silence, thought you could bind,
But the spirit of freedom is never confined
