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.

Under A Killing Moon Lyrics
Thrice
the air my lungs first loved
carves craters from my eyes
they said "breathe deeply son
or be the next to die"
Beneath the falling night
and heaven's shutting gate
pray keep your tongue held tight
or suffer the same fate
the blood on our black gloves
it is none of your concern
if you want to call our bluff
get in line and wait your turn
and watch the witches burn"
Don't flinch when innocents
are dancing with the flame
if they wanted to live
they'd learn to play the game
You can still walk away
if you just hold your tongue
if you'd just walk away
you'd live to see the sun but"
Under this killing moon
under this burning sky
the fire's shining groom
I hold my breath and close my eyes
"The blood on our black gloves
it is none of your concern
if you want to call our bluff
get in line and wait your turn
and watch the witches burn
we'll watch the witches burn"
