We watch the degradation of the civilization
The rise and fall of all we are Stands here before us This place is evil We stare in insult This world is vile We are the answer How long until we die? Die from the inside out How much is enough to see the light? How much blood must be shed? Come past the lies We cannot be so blind Hear their cries The wait 'til daylight dies Daylight dies We all have blood on our hands How can we (how can we) ignore the sound? Come past the lies We cannot be so blind Hear their cries The wait 'til daylight dies The cost of one life The price of ones soul Is too much to lose No more broken promises The shattered hearts will heal No more broken promises No more (no more) Come past the lies We cannot be so blind Hear their cries The wait 'til daylight dies How long until it dies? How long? How long? How long until it dies How long? How long? 02. This is Absolution Music & lyrics by Killswitch Engage
We will not die this way, in unification
They cannot break these chains of faith Let them do their worst (let them do their worst) Never slaves to iniquity We will not die this way (this is absolution) Death claims us no more (no more) Do not grief, end the suffering We will live, were eternal Will take the stand among the dead? Bury your fear, and hold fast to life We will not die this way (this is absolution) Death claims us no more (no more) Do not grieve, end the suffering We will live, were eternal Anchor yourself to the foundation of everything you love Believe you have just become to live Don't let the world deceive you Don't let their words betray you Don't let their lies deceive you Lead them to their graves We will not die this way (This is absolution) Death claims us no more (no more) Do not grief, end the suffering We will live, were eternal 03. The Arms of Sorrow Music & lyrics by Killswitch Engage
Imprisoned, inside this mind
Hiding behind the empty smiles So simple (delinquish) Isn't much made Crawling back into the dark Running, always running, into the distance Stop me before I bleed, again The echoes of my voice Follow me down The shadows I cast Follow me down Deeper I'm falling Into the arms of sorrow Building descending Into the arms of sorrow There must be serenity The echoes of my voice Follow me down The shadows I cast Follow me down Deeper I'm falling Into the arms of sorrow Building descending Into the arms of sorrow The demons of my own design This horror not remain Deeper I'm falling Into the arms of sorrow Building descending Into the arms of sorrow There must be serenity There must be deliverance Deeper I'm falling Building decending 04. Unbroken Music & lyrics by Killswitch Engage
Forever falling into oblivion
The darkness crawls forward and engulfs my will to live Fear is failure and this is my motivation Take back what is stolen Reclaim all that is lost With virtue I will rise up from the ruins Through adversity there is redemption With passion fighting I am unbroken Through adversity there is redemption With passion fighting I am unbroken Take back what is stolen Embrace the struggle Refuse to turn back now and be led astray Fear is failure and this is my affirmation Through adversity there is redemption With passion fighting I am unbroken Through adversity there is redemption With passion fighting I am unbroken The absence of fear is the renewal of self The absence of doubt breeds desire If there is truth to fate I will design it I will not be denied 05. My Curse Music & lyrics by Killswitch Engage
I watched you walk away
Hopeless, with nothing to say I screen my eyes Hoping to see you again This is my curse (the longing) This is my curse (to) This is my curse (the yearning) This is my curse There is love burning to find you Will you wait for me? Will you be here? Your silence haunts me But I still hunger for you This is my curse (the wanting) This is my curse (to) This is my curse (the needing) There is love burning to find you Will you wait for me? Still I want And I still I ache But still I wait To see you again Dying, inside, these walls Can I see your face in these tears? In these tears And I see your face... There is love 06. For You Music & lyrics by Killswitch Engage
The fires burn through me
Are only stench of you Don't put aside The time slips by Are only cult of you I give my word to stand the test of time No more wasted days The past must bury The line is drawn I pledge my devotion There is no turning back This heart is yours I sacrifice for you (for you) This is immortal The fires burn through me Are only stench of you With each passing day, this harm is endless No more wasted time We are immortal The line is drawn I pledge my devotion There is no turning back This heart is yours I sacrifice for you (for you) This is the everlasting This is immortal Your words are my inspiration Your life, an image of perfection For all you are, for all you've done Stands to be in a reflection The line is drawn I pledge my devotion There is no turning back This heart is yours I sacrifice for you (for you) This is the everlasting This is immortal 07. Still Beats Your Name Music & lyrics by Killswitch Engage
Who knows how long I've been lost in the dark
Followed closely by the footsteps of my failures What can I do to altar my perception of the way and the truth? Let this burden drift away Who knows how long the void has swallowed me I only wish for nothing more than peace to find me How can this be? We've come so far to let the weight destroy our grand design Let this burden drift away My pledge remains faithful to you And my heart still beats your name Drowning once again Will I live another day? To reach the surface Let this burden drift away Drowning Choking Fading Life Is this the moment where I leave the blackness? Is this the moment of my rebirth? Who knows how long I've been lost in the dark Followed closely by the footsteps of my failures What can I do to altar my perception of the way and the truth Drowning once again Will I live another day? To reach the surface Let this burden drift away Drowning again Reach the surface Let it drift away 08. Eye of the Storm Music & lyrics by Killswitch Engage
As time goes by
Nothing has changed I wont stand and watch You wither away After all this time I stand by you Through all of the years I've been with you Through pain and affliction With every addiction I will never let you down I will Never surrender You and I are one Through the eye Of the storm You are never alone Even through, the shadows You are never alone After all this time Still you struggle Even words of love Ring so hollow I have no regrets I have no remorse And if you falter I wont let you down Through the eye Of the storm you are never alone Even through, the shadows You are never alone Come on Together we stand Never fall No matter the trial We will overcome Together we stand Never fall No matter the Trial We will overcome Through the eye Of the storm You are never alone Even through, the shadows You are never alone Never Together we stand Never fall No matter the trial We will overcome We will overcome 09. Break The Silence Music & lyrics by Killswitch Engage
As I live and breathe
I'm watching, watching a world die We greet this with apathy No longer consumed by self We walk through each day with no mind to deprivation and moral decay We must destroy and rebuild We must destroy and rebuild for the sake of all It starts with one As I live and breathe I'm watching, watching a world die We greet this with apathy No longer If we can't break the silence How can we survive? Search inside yourself Know that you're alive We must break the silence, now we are alive Silent no longer Make this world take notice that change is in our hands The battle has just begun We are not defeated If we can't break the silence How can we survive? Search inside yourself Know that you're alive We must break the silence, now we are alive Silent no longer With all that I am I will lift my voice to start this revolution It starts today and it starts with me Silent no longer With all I am I will lift my voice With all I am It starts with me Break the silence, we are alive 10. Desperate Times Music & lyrics by Killswitch Engage
Time and time again
I stand at the crossroad Where the weight of my burden Eclipses my resolve This broken path I've chosen I walk it alone Though I feel forgotten You've carved my name in stone In these desperate times This I plead When all else fails Remember me This is daily crucifixion And these rusted nails leave scars My jagged crown is on my side Because it never fell In these desperate times This I plead When all else fails Remember me Theres no question You're the answer I will find you... In these desperate times This I bleed When all fails Remember me In these desperate times This I bleed When all fails Remember me 11. Reject Yourself Music & lyrics by Killswitch Engage
Their cries are blown away with the wind
How passive can we be before humanity is lost? Turning our backs on those who need love We must not rest while healing is needed Tear down the veil that bars your heart from feeling this Dedicate yourself Give your souls to compassion With open arms embrace this heart With open eyes behold the truth Embrace this life So little time is left We must be relentless in our pursuit of those in torment Tear down the veil that bars your heart from feeling this Dedicate yourself Become the voice of compassion With open arms embrace this heart With open eyes behold the truth Embrace this life Can you reject yourself? Can you feel their agony? In a world that feeds on disregard Heal the broken hearted 12. Be One Music & lyrics by Killswitch Engage
With conviction
You must stand your ground Don't be deceived Strength is salvation It is so easy to live the life of a follower We must kill the idols Don't fall prey to seduction With single-mindedness We must pursue the truth Nevermore the victim Let them say that we are not of their world With the promise of life We are strong We will carry on Kill the idols No more disillusion Let them say what they will -what they will- Their answer to our higher calling Is conceived by their hatred Nevermore the victim Let them say that we are not of their world With the promise of life We are strong We will carry on With the promise of life We are strong We will carry on Be one, for your conviction Be one for your devotion You will be hated for your dedication You will be hated You will be hated With the promise of life We are strong We will carry on 13. Let The Bridges Burn Music & lyrics by Killswitch Engage
We have come too far to let our fulfillment fall away.
I must refuse to renounce my integrity. We stand in defiance to their ethics. Let the grief that they have inflicted serve as our call to arms. Are you ready? Are you willing to be the catalyst? We can no longer be indifferent. Restore this dying world. From misery we have turned away Ignite the past, let the bridges burn. My eyes watch the unholy be left in the distance. The division of our souls from our blasphemous tongues. This is our atonement. From misery we have turned away Ignite the past, let the bridges burn. From sorrow we have turned away to the past Let the bridges burn. I have bled for the truth. There is no surrender. Move forward. Commit yourself. Destroy all lies. From ashes to ashes From dust to dust. From misery we have turned away Ignite the past, let the bridges burn. Let the bridges burn. 14. This Fire Music & lyrics by Killswitch Engage
All I've ever wanted was destiny to be fulfilled,
it is in my hands, I must not fail, I must not fail. Even through the darkest days, this fire burns, always. this fire burns, always. This is the broken ground Misery begins to rise. Turn away from yesterday, tomorrow's in my eyes. Nevermore to be held down by the wings of history. Nevermore to be cast aside, this day is mine. Even through the darkest days, this fire burns, always. this fire burns, always. I will not be denied in this final hour. I will not be denied, this day is mine. The passion inside me, is burning, is burning. The passion inside me, is burning, is burning. Even through the darkest days, this fire burns always (always). This fire burns (fire burns) always. Always (always). 15. Holy Diver Music & lyrics by Dio
Holy Diver
You've been down too long in the midnight sea Oh, what's becoming of me? Ride the tiger You can see his stripes but you know he's clean Oh, don't you see what I mean? Gotta get away Holy Diver Shiny diamonds Like the eyes of a cat in the black and blue Something is coming for you - look out! Race for the morning You can hide in the sun 'till you see the light Oh, we will pray it's all right Gotta get away - get away Between the velvet lies There's a truth that's hard as steel The vision never dies Life's a never ending wheel Holy Diver You're the star of the masquerade No need to look so afraid Jump, jump Jump on the tiger You can feel his heart but you know he's mean Some light can never be seen Holy Diver You've been down too long in the midnight sea Oh, what's becoming of me? - No! Ride the tiger You can see his stripes but you know he's clean Oh, don't you see what I mean? Gotta get away, get away (get away!) Gotta get away, get away Holy Diver, sole survivor Your heart is clean Yeah, Holy Diver (Holy diver) Holy Diver (Holy Diver) You're caught in the middle coming after you, Holy Diver Oh, Holy Diver (Holy Diver) Get away, get away, get away - come on! |
