Thrice are an American post-hardcoreband that formed in Irvine, California in 1997. In 2000, Thrice signed-up with Sub City Records and released two LPs. The first, Identity Crisis(2000), only received 1.5 stars in the AMG review and little buzz. The second, The Illusion of Safety(2002), was widely acclaimed and received attention from major record labels. Even though Thrice's music has always included some metal influences, The Illusion of Safety contains a heavier metalcore sound than the rest of their records.

They preach to the choir, always in the permanent daylight
They toss paper tigers from their perfect porcelain skylines, shatterproof spires
Listen for the sound, as it all comes crashing down
They light the world on fire, just to watch it burn
It'll be their funeral pyre, but they never seem to learn
And we paid the price, we paid for their crimes with our blood
And our lives
