A Wilhelm Scream

A Wilhelm Scream (abbreviated as AWS, and for short known as Wilhelm or the Scream) is a melodic hardcore band from New Bedford, Massachusetts. Many people have referenced Strung Out, Hot Water Music, Propagandhi, and Strike Anywhere as the band's similar artists. Their name is a reference to the Wilhelm Scream, a famous stock sound effect which mainly is used in films. The band previously went by the names Smackin' Isaiah, Koen, and Adam's Crack, though the former was the only name to be used in any major release. The reason for the name changes "from Koen to Smackin' Isaiah to A Wilhelm Scream was really a matter of them adding new members, and progressing/maturing as a band.". more »

Seeking out an honest living soul
Checking every body for a pulse
Lifting every eyelid for a glimmer
Of evil left to give
Meaning to meaningless, that much I'd die for

Searching through this body stack for hours
Yeah, from the bottom
Pride is gone the night
We sink to the bottom
We'll never be one of them

Awake, arise
Eat, work, shit, sleep, awake, arise
Awake, arise
Eat, work, shit, sleep, awake, arise
Listen as the chorus marching
Union roars like a lion
This old man with hat in hand just said it
We built this city on debts and booze

Twelve years of debt and I'll
Be paying it off with blood and sweat but it
Means nothing at all i'll pay the price
'Till I die

And every jaded hero clings to his worth
In it for paychecks, moving unit's and merch
But I decline to ever be one of them

Awake, arise
Eat, work, shit, sleep, awake, arise

Listen as the chorus marching
Union roars like a lion
This old man with hat in hand just said it
We built this city on debts and booze

Legs on the ottoman and head in the mosh
Sharp like an astronaut but dull as a rock
An angel's sigh
Damn right, we got a problem now
I'm mimicking the drum fills with
My head on the wall the voice of God comes
Through the morning alarm awake, arise
Awake, arise

Wake up!

I've laughed before but not so heavy as
A fire and brimstone hilarity mess

That said we'll be here for the end of it all
By cutting off the strings we used to pull
And reaching deep for thoughts and ways to
Bring us back to better days
'Till king and queen pass out
Drunk off their power

We'll stand in light of evil eyes forever
We'll be there for the end of it all

Awake, arise
Eat, work, shit, sleep, awake, arise
We'll be there for the end of it all
To stand in line of evil eyes forever

Strangers at the bottom
