To the Great Beyond
03:58
|
|||
Suicide of the mental
In the mind transcendental
Cauterized the wounds of a past life
Beckoning from the birth unto the afterlife
I look beyond this mortal encasement
Severed beyond, beyond containment
I am prepared to die
Hear the battle cry
Feel the spirit fly
To the great beyond go I
I am prepared to die
As I testify
To the great beyond go I
Unafraid of my fate
From within burns the will to live
I look beyond this mortal encasement
Severed beyond this life
I am prepared to die
Hear the battle cry
Feel the spirit fly
To the great beyond go I
I am prepared to die
As I testify
To the great beyond go I
Cut down this bitter dissension
Killing the path of ascension
We're holding on to the fear of the next world
This fleeting location amid the many dimensions
I have escaped to death and resurrection
Unafraid of my fate
To the great beyond go I
I look beyond this life
I am prepared to die
Hear the battle cry
Feel the spirit fly
To the great beyond go I
To the great beyond go I

Hollow Convictions
04:49
|
|||
Dislocation from the stark vision of the hollow
A vagrant love will lead me far beyond this sorrow
Is it betrayal or just the clarity of my trial
Replacing fear with a truth, a truth beyond denial
I've lost faith in these hollow convictions
I need something more
I couldn't stop the pain from turning into resentment
I look beyond my shame to find redemption
I've lost faith in these hollow convictions
I need something more
Can't live in the shadows of your hollow convictions
I need something more
A part of me died that day and I'll never be the same again
Can you set me free
Can you give me peace as I call to you in the darkness
I'm waiting for your voice to speak cause I need to believe
Waiting for your voice to speak to me
I'm calling out your name
I'm calling out your name
I've lost faith in these hollow convictions
I need something more
Can't live in the shadows of your hollow convictions
I need something more
Give me something more

Killing of Leviathan
02:55
|
|||
Leviathan is now approaching
Seeping crawling on me
Drawing closer to the center
Anxiety torments me
I know you by name it's always the same
Fall from the light consumed from within
Deep inside my hell is closing in
Crying out you can't control it
From the depths lurking inside
Suffocating and imploding
Rotting and corroding
Nothing seems to pacify it
It feels like an eternity
Crawl deep under my skin screaming
Leviathan I'll kill you within
You will not win against me
Leviathan this is the end
The voices in my head
This war is fought within
You can't control me
I will destroy in the end
Crawl deep under my skin screaming
Leviathan I'll kill you within
You will not win against me
Leviathan this is the end
Ever changing circumstance triggering this dark war dance
I'll fight against you
I will annihilate you
The killing of Leviathan
The killing of Leviathan

No Devotion
04:22
|
|||
You have left me here to bleed
But you won't get the best of me
Always grasping on to something that's just out of my reach
Caught between familiar feelings of anxiety and peace
Conditioned to the pain
Holding on to my disdain
Give it all until the emptiness is all that remains
You have left me here to bleed
There is no devotion
But you won't get the best of me
I have no devotion
I can see the truth in your eyes it's just yourself that you despise
Victimized
Twist the knife inside the wound
Paralyzed
So the pain won't die soon
Strangulate
Trap me under hold me down
Suffocate
In your bitterness I drown
You have left me here to bleed
There is no devotion
But you won't get the best of me
I have no devotion
Crawling on my hands and knees
My anger becomes my peace
You won't get the best of me
I have no devotion
When you've given everything and have nothing left to lose
When you come back to life break this cycle of abuse
Are you strong enough
Can you give it up
And when you've left this all behind your spirit will heal in time
No devotion
You have left me here to bleed
There is no devotion
Crawling on my hands and knees
My anger becomes my peace
You won't get the best of me
No devotion

I Feel Alive Again
03:39
|
|||
I feel alive again
I feel alive again
One last caress in a world so desperate
Holding on to a shred of hope only by a thread
Waiting for someone, someone to be there to remind us that we can heal our disrepair
Can we not see there is a need a need to disconnect this cycle of dismay
This desperation is now deeper than you know
Longing to hear a voice to say you're not alone
So with these words I'm reaching out to say that I fought through and found my way again
This is where it all began I found the strength to try again
I feel alive again
I feel alive again
I fight beyond the pain
Looking through the darkness, the nothing, the worthlessness
Longing for the light beyond the grey of sorrows song
Before the fall is where the last hope is found
Desperate for a release to give just a glimpse of peace
A fleeting clarity
A sense of things beyond our eyes
We may never be complete but in this life we seem to feel alive
I feel alive again
I feel alive again
I fight beyond the pain

Prophets of Treason
04:53
|
|||
The skies will fall
Judgment comes for the prophets of treason
This is a song of vigilance sung for our redemption
When the stark rise of ignorance comes it will feed contention
See through device and incompetence suspect and trite don't empower them
The earth shall quake and moan with thunder
The seas will churn and drag them under
No one can save you
The end of the ages has come
These skies will fall when you hear the voices call
The time has come to destroy the prophets of treason
Their fortresses will shake and crumble
Now the time has passed to mourn our sorrow
The prominent will bow to their knees as they will call for mercy
These skies will fall when you hear the voices call
The time has come to erase the prophets of treason
From the ground you crawl when you hear the voices call
The time has come to destroy the prophets of treason
Your dominance will soon be undone
To blot out the sun we fight as one to put an end to this madness
Your time has come you will be undone
The earth shall quake and moan with thunder
The seas will churn and drag them under
Fire will rain down from the skies above
There's no escape for when atonement comes
The skies will fall
The earth shall quake and moan with thunder
Judgment comes for you
The seas will churn and drag them under
The skies will fall
Fire will rain down from the skies above
Judgment comes for you
There's no escape for when atonement comes
The skies will fall
The earth shall quake and moan with thunder
Judgment comes for you
The seas will churn and drag them under

Killswitch Engage Westfield, Massachusetts
Killswitch Engage first shook the structure of heavy music upon climbing out of snowy industrialized Western Massachusetts in 2000. A musical outlier, the band pioneered a union of thrashed-out European guitar pyrotechnics, East Coast hardcore spirit, on-stage hijinks, and enlightened lyricism that set the pace for what the turn-of-the-century deemed heavy. ... more
