Killswitch Engage
Album • 2006
Slowly we watch the degradation of the civilization The rise and fall of all we are stands before us This place is evil Is there an answer? This world is vile We are the answer? How long until we die? Die from the inside out How much is enough for us to see the light? How much blood must be spilled? Contest the lies We cannot be so blind Hear their cries Don't wait 'til daylight dies Daylight dies When there is blood on our hands How can we, how can we ignore the truth? Contest the lies We cannot be so blind Hear their cries Don't wait 'til daylight dies The cost of one life The price of one soul Is too much to bear No more broken promises Our shattered hearts will heal No more broken promises No more, no more Contest the lies We cannot be so blind Hear their cries Don't wait 'til daylight dies How long until it dies? How long? How long? How long until it dies? How long? How long?

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 grieve End the suffering We will live, live eternal Will you take this stance 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, live eternal Anchor yourself to the foundation of everything you are Believe you have just begun to live, to live Don't let the world deceive you Don't let their words betray you Don't let their lies deceive you Let them do their worst 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, live eternal

Imprisoned inside this mind Hiding behind the empty smiles So simple, the anguish, as it mocks me 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 Blindly 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 Blindly descending Into the arms of sorrow The demons of my own design This horror must not remain Deeper, I'm falling Into the arms of sorrow Blindly descending Into the arms of sorrow There must be serenity There must be deliverance Deeper, I'm falling Blindly descending Deeper, I'm falling

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 I will not be denied I will not be denied

I watched you walk away Helpless, with nothing to say I strain my eyes Hoping to see you again This is my curse - the longing This is my curse - time 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 still I hunger for you This is my curse - the wanting This is my curse - time This is my curse - the needing This is my curse There is love burning to find you Will you wait for me? And still I want And still I ache But still I wait To see you again Dying inside these walls Dying inside these walls And I see your face in these tears, in these tears And I see your face There is love There is love There is love There is love There is love There is love There is love There is love

The finest parts of me Are only shades of you To put aside the ties that bind Is the goal of man I give my word To stand the test of time No more wasted days The past must perish The line is drawn I pledge my devotion There is no turning back This heart is yours I sacrifice for you For you For you This is immortal The finest parts of me Are only shades of you With each passing day This heart 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 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 I strive to be in your reflection The line is drawn I pledge my devotion There is no turning back My heart is yours I sacrifice for you For you For you This is the everlasting This is immortal

Who knows how long I've been lost in the dark Followed closely by the footsteps of my failures What can I do to alter 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 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 alter 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

As time goes by Nothing has changed I won't 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 live by this code: 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 won't 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

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, 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 Break the silence, we are alive Break the silence Break the silence, we are alive

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 rusty nails leave scars My jagged crown is at my side Anguish is never far In these desperate times This I plead When all else fails Remember me This is a blood oath They are nothing to me anymore But your voice means more to me Than you'll ever know There's no question You're the answer I will find you In these desperate times This I plead When all else fails Remember me In these desperate times This I plead When all else fails Remember me

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
