KILLSWITCH ENGAGE LYRICS

1. Unleashed

Deceive me, release me, unleash me
You've unleashed the wild within

Welcome to the madness
That dwells inside these eyes
Pushed unto the breaking point
You're running out of time

This innocent blood is on your hands
Deceive me
Come face to face with the final stand
Release me
It's the part of me you can't comprehend
Unleash me
You've unleashed the wild within
The wild within

You who spoke defiance
You who spoke in jest
The last of all my tolerance
Has left this broken man

This innocent blood is on your hands
Deceive me
Come face to face with the final stand
Release me
It's the part of me you can't comprehend
Unleash me
You've unleashed the wild within

I remind you time and time again
You've broken the restrains against your heart
Against the dark
Can you feel the pain of those you've betrayed
The promises unmade, broken hearts that fill with shame
And you're to blame
Do they call your name
There's nothing left to say, nothing left to say

This innocent blood is on your hands
Deceive me
Come face to face with the final stand
Release me
It's the part of me you can't comprehend
Unleash me
You've unleashed the wild within

2. The Signal Fire

[feat. Howard Jones]

No more following this endless maze
Separation will define the new way
What's broken is what leads us all astray
The chosen are renewed in amnesty
Broken, hopeless, the state of all our fates
Revolted, woken, lead us from this place

Nowhere to hide, strength realigned
The signal fire's alight
Given to fight, there's hope just in sight
The signal fire's alight

Can we walk a mile in another's shoes
To determine what we have to lose? (To lose)
Disconnection of a common reality
Becomes so lost in this world of hypocrisy

Nowhere to hide, strength realigned
The signal fire's alight
Given to fight, there's hope just in sight
The signal fire's alight
(Alight)

This is our one beacon to deliver us all
To guide us away from this decay of humanity

Nowhere to hide, strength realigned
The signal fire's alight
Given to fight, there's hope just in sight
The signal fire's alight
(Alight)

I won't give up this fight
(Alight)
The signal fire is alight

3. Us Against The World

This day will resound in our melodies
The voices of fate
A testament to all we hope for
They will learn of the passion and tragedy
That lies in wait, when they stand up
Stand up against the onslaught

Nothing could ever tear us apart

Our spirit is never ending
I'll be the protection when you fall
Our spirit is never ending
So tell them it's us, us against the world

This catastrophe will serve to redeem our purpose
Do you believe, they could never come between us

Our spirit is never ending
I'll be the protection when you fall
Our spirit is never ending
So tell them it's us against the world
(It's us against the world)

The saga unfolds, the legends of old will guide us all
The crack of the skull, the blood and the soul
We heed the endless call

Our spirit is never ending
(Never ending)
I'll be the protection when you fall
Our spirit is never ending
(Never ending)
So tell them it's us against the world
(It's us against the world)

4. The Crownless King

[feat. Chuck Billy]

Abolition to this illusion
And all the monuments of hypocrisy

Burn them — burn them to the ground
Destroy them — they're useless to us now

Tear down reminders of a crownless king
This impostor claims authority
Indignation is closing in
You choose a war, a war you cannot win

No one — no one can save you now
Cast down — where no mercy can be found
No willingness to bow to a king without a crown
Where the virtuous can't be found

Defy you — to the depths you descend
I defy you — to the death we defend
Defy you — your rule will come to an end
I defy you — you've become the crownless king

The penitent pray for the downfall
Of your, of your reign
The warrior soul shall break the hold of constraints
In the end you will suffer

Defy you — to the depths you descend
I defy you — to the death we defend
Defy you — your rule will come to an end
I defy you — you've become the crownless king

This storied confusion, distorted and diluted
Will come undone when the balance shifts
And the framework breaks
The framework breaks

To the depths you descend
Become the crownless king
Defy you — I defy you
Defy you — we defy you

5. I Am Broken Too

You carry this weight trying to cover your mistakes
To make it seem like nothing could ever break you

But I see right through, 'cause I am broken too
In all the same places as you
And if you needed proof, I'll reopen my wounds
Reopen my wounds, yeah

I see myself in you
(In you)
I know you can make it through

If you needed proof, I'll reopen my wounds
In all the right places for you
So now you see the truth that you are broken too
I'll reopen my wounds for you

I keep making the same mistakes, just to feel alive again
It's the only way to break on through
So stop numbing all the pain
'Cause it just won't go away
(Won't go away)
If you only knew how much I needed you

And if you needed proof, I'll reopen my wounds
(My wounds)
In all the right places for you
I can see the truth 'cause I am broken too
I am broken too
(Broken just like you)

6. As Sure As The Sun Will Rise

Lay your hands upon me
Give me the certainty to fulfill my destiny
Fill my soul with light
As it courses through my veins like a river after rain

Healer
Seeker
True believer
Summon the storm to smite deceivers

Through the perils we face
(We overcome)
Through the treacherous days
(We overcome)
Nothing stands in our way
Sure as the sun will rise again

Take
My
Words
Let them feed humanity
A sacrifice to demonstrate
A willingness to take the hate
And use it as our strength

Healer
Seeker
True believer
Summon the storm to smite deceivers

Through the perils we face
(We overcome)
Through the treacherous days
(We overcome)
Nothing stands in our way
Sure as the sun will rise again

We gave our souls to the will of the fates tonight
With honor, the brave will live far beyond this life

Pulled from the darkness, reborn in light

Through the perils we face
(We overcome)
Through the treacherous days
(We overcome)
Nothing stands in our way
Sure as the sun will rise again

We overcome
Sure as the rising sun

7. Know Your Enemy

Bow down to no one
Resist the system

Lost in uncertainty, divided in our strife
No comprehension of the conflict of our lives
Become enslaved in a technological haze
In the crosshairs of a weapon
That dissuades our brains

The target is in site
Mental imprisonment
They'll take you down from the inside
(Inside)
Self-destruction on command

Resist — and fight back
Our minds — under attack
Destroy — their authority
And know your enemy

Protest — demonstrate
We must — retaliate
Bow down — to no one
And know your enemy

Locked and loaded, waiting to explode
Pawns of illusion subjugating to control

Resist — and fight back
Our minds — under attack
Destroy — their authority
And know your enemy

Protest — demonstrate
We must — retaliate
Bow down — to no one
And know your enemy

It runs much deeper than you think
You'll never see who pulls the strings
You've got to know, know your enemy
Force-fed illusions
In this world of confusion
You have to know, know your enemy

The target is in site

Bow down to no one
Resist the system
Bow down to no one
(Bow down to no one)
Resist the system and fight back

They can't subjugate a mind that's free
No more force-fed reality

Resist — and fight back
Our minds — under attack
Destroy — their authority
And know your enemy

Protest — demonstrate
We must — retaliate
Bow down — to no one
And know your enemy

They'll take you down from the inside
Resist and fight back
And know your enemy

8. Take Control

In the darkness swallowed into the night
Trapped in the clutches of my indecision
Falling further past the point of control
So desperate to cast away this feeling

Cry out for rescue
Cry out for relief and give me peace
There must be a way to stifle this decay
There must be a means, means to an end

When the fear and panic takes a hold
You must take control
When your sorrow drags you down below
Take control
(Take control)

No more wallowing, battle my constraints
I'm the sinner and the saint

When the fear and panic takes a hold
Look within your soul
When your sorrow drags you down below
You must take control
Your strength will unfold, take control

I must find a way
So my words can penetrate
And I pray that you understand
(You understand your pain someday)

When the fear and panic takes a hold
You must take control
When your sorrow drags you down below
You must take control

Look within your soul
Take control

9. Ravenous

Flesh from flesh
To bring forth this endless quest
This endless quest

Yearning for something to consume
A long lost spirit to exhume
A hunger burns in me
An all consuming voracity

Flesh from flesh
(Flesh from flesh)
To bring forth this endless quest

Staring at your countenance
To seek beyond impermanence

Lost in translation, misconstrued
Forgive them all for what they do
I'm ravenous
(I'm ravenous)

Ravenous
In this vision beyond impermanence
Ravenous
For an undying truth in all of us

Cut down — deep below the dermis
Unwound — from the tangle of indoctrination
Breakdown — the message and the purpose
Fall down — to my knees in demarcation

I choose a life defined by evolving belief
A truth undefined is where I will find my peace

This undying desire

Ravenous
In this vision beyond impermanence
Ravenous
For an undying truth in all of us
Ravenous
For a new form of consciousness

10. I Can't Be The Only One

I never knew the words to say
At a loss, as the world was falling around me
I see that look upon your face
Feeling so desperate as we count down to dismay

How did it ever come to this?
Pick up the pieces and know something's got to give
Don't lose your faith
(Don't lose your faith)
Try to believe
(Try to believe)
That the ends will justify the means

Divided we've become, this fight has just begun
But I can't be the only one
Together we overcome with a truth they can't outrun
But I can't be the only one

I see that look upon your face
(Your face)
Feeling so desperate as we count down to dismay
How did this come to be?
There's so much more to this then what we all see

Don't lose your passion
(Your passion)
Don't lose your love

It can't just be only me
(Only me)
It must be us in unity

Divided we've become, this fight has just begun
But I can't be the only one
Together we overcome with a truth they can't outrun
But I can't be the only one

I can't do this on my own
What have we become when there is no love?
I gotta believe that things will change

And I believe things will change

Divided we've become, this fight has just begun
But I can't be the only one
Just begun, and overcome
But I can't be the only one

United we overcome
Undivided we are the sum
But I can't be the only one

11. Bite The Hand That Feeds

Swallow the sun in shadows as they suck out the marrow
The hopeless suffer in the fear of tomorrow
We count the cost to measure it against our loss
The sacrifice of the innocent

Separation
The lie from the truth
(The lie from the truth)
Our division is our proof

We can't allow this to stand
Oppression on demand
Led by liars and thieves
As desperation bleeds
They brought us to our knees
So bite the hand that feeds

All their poisonous belief
Lead us only to grief
Led by liars and thieves
As desperation bleeds
They brought us to our knees
So bite the hand that feeds

Altercations spread through violent sanction
Mother give your children to the beast
The battles of the poor will soon be called to war
For the wealthy and their war machine

We can't allow this to stand
Oppression on demand
Led by liars and thieves
As desperation bleeds
They brought us to our knees
So bite the hand that feeds

Pushed to the breaking point
Awake from your slumber
Kick back the shroud that humanity's under
The beckoning call of our so called masters
Subjugate us to the brink of disaster
All for what cause?
To perpetuate their endless wars

We can't allow this to stand
Oppression on demand
Led by liars and thieves
As desperation bleeds
They brought us to our knees
So bite the hand that feeds

All their poisonous belief
Lead us only to grief
Led by liars and thieves
As desperation bleeds
They brought us to our knees
So bite the hand that feeds

Where do we go from here?
We won't go quietly
It must be the end of apathy
We let go of the grip of our sanity

What would you...
What would you kill for?
What would you...
What would you die for?

What would you...
What would you kill for?
What would you...
What would you die for?
