THE TRUTH WE CHOSE - Progressive Metal | Metalus Prime

The Truth We Chose is a dark, atmospheric progressive metal track by Metalus Prime, exploring humanity's obsession with wealth, status, and material success — and the spiritual emptiness that follows when we forget what truly matters. In a world where happiness is measured by possessions and recognition, we spend our lives chasing more, often losing sight of our faith, inner peace, and deeper purpose. The Grim Reaper featured in the artwork symbolizes our mortality, while the golden crown represents the wealth and power that ultimately lose their meaning when our time runs out. With melodic vocals, atmospheric passages, intricate guitar work, and an expressive solo, The Truth We Chose asks a simple question: What if we spent our lives pursuing the wrong things? --- 🎵 Lyrics — The Truth We Chose We spend our lives in endless chase For things that time will soon erase We measure worth by what we own And wonder why we feel alone We trade our peace for wealth and fame And call it purpose all the same The more we gain, the more we crave Until our wants become our grave The truth we chose was made of lies We learned to see through blinded eyes We held on tight to what we knew And lost the things that once were true We once believed in something more Than all the riches we adore But somewhere in the race for gold We lost the faith we used to hold We traded faith for wealth and pride And left our deeper needs aside The more we gained, the less we knew Of all the things that made us true The truth we chose was made of lies We learned to see through blinded eyes We held on tight to what we knew And lost the things that once were true We reached the heights we dreamed about Yet found ourselves consumed by doubt The things we thought would make us whole Could never satisfy the soul The truth we chose was made of lies We let our deepest purpose die What good is everything we own If we must face ourselves alone --- 🎸 About Metalus Prime Metalus Prime creates original metal music combining powerful guitar riffs, melodic arrangements, cinematic atmospheres, and emotionally charged storytelling.
