Killswitch Engage - Disarm The Descent Album Lyrics

The Hell In Me

Fall down into the chaos
Staring into the depths of pain, darkness and suffering
I will not be moved from this place, inside of me
Until I understand this part of me that bleeds and captures my spirit
If it's the death of me, then I will loosen its grip.

Protect me from the hell that burns inside me.
No one can see, this is the hell in me.
The hell in me.

Bring light into the darkness.
Awaken and stir this war within us all.
Reveal my true intentions.

No one can see this is the hell in me
Will you set me free?
This is the hell in me.

Lead me out of the darkness.
Strengthen and protect the voice that makes no sound.
Suffer and bleed for me.
Pulled from the hell that is in me.
Set me free.

Protect me from the hell that burns inside me.
No one can see, this is the hell in me.
Will you set me free?
This is the hell in me.

Beyond The Flames

Step back to see the vision
Seduction of our minds
The skin becomes illusion
She pulls me down and I fall behind
The weakness of flesh is to settle for less than we
Have the potential to be
Song of the sirens call

There is a fire within her eyes
Blinding my senses
(Now I am searching)
For what's beyond the flames

What drags us down to ruin
Where is the power that ignites within
Seeking the substance that can't be corrupted or changed
We remain beyond the flame

Her dark embrace will suffocate
Choking my senses
(Now I am searching)
For what's beyond the flames

There is a fire within her eyes
Blinding my senses
(Now I am searching)
For what's beyond the flames

Now it's just a touch, then she feels a rush
Her dark seduction will suffocate

Her dark embrace will suffocate
Choking my senses
(Now I am searching)
For what's beyond the flames

There is a fire within her eyes
Blinding my senses
(Now I am searching)
For what's beyond the flames

New Awakening

Run the race that will lead to nowhere fast
Trapped in the haze of this mindless false reality
Wandering a path laid out by fools
That they call "progression" where chaos rules

There is more to life than this
We are more than just this flesh
We are alive and our time has come
For a new awakening

Come death, come suffering, I will not live in fear
In this fleeting life where time escapes us
The path of least resistance is a slow, quiet death
I'd rather burn out than fade away

There is more to life than this
We are more than just this flesh
We are alive and our time has come
For a new awakening

I would rather die than live my life in fear
Out of step, no regrets in the new awakening

I will not live in fear
Live life with no regrets
I will not live in fear

There is more to life than this
We are more than just this flesh
We are alive and our time has come
For a new awakening

I'd rather burn out than fade away

In Due Time

Pacing aimlessly,
With my mind in unrest
Unsure of what may come.
What have I done to bring this down on me?
Helpless to make this undone

All in due time, see the world through different eyes.
All in due time, shadows will give way to light.

How much more can I give of myself
as these walls close in on me?
As I slip down in to this despair (into this despair),
There is nothing to attain

What victory (what victory)
When my soul is weak (is weak)
where does my help come from?

All in due time, see the world through different eyes.
I see the world through different eyes.
All in due time, shadows will give way, give way to light.

All that we suffer through leads to determination.
The trials we all go through gives us the strength to carry on.
Something within us burns, desire feeds the will to live.
A reason to believe I will see redemption.

All in due time, see the world through different eyes.
I see the world through different eyes.
All in due time, shadows will give way to light.
All in due time.

A Tribute To The Fallen

These are the times that will challenge our resolve
Living in the days of the fallen
A voice that once spoke of strength and hope,
Now sings the dirge of the hopeless

You cannot break this love with hate
A tribute to the fallen
Your choice is made so go your way
A tribute to the fallen

With a new dawn we rise in renewed strength
Knowing we've just begun to fight this war within

You cannot break this love with hate
A tribute to the fallen
Your choice is made so go your way
A tribute to the fallen

Walk the path you've chosen
Our faith remains unbroken
Even if we die tonight
This is an endless fight
Our spirits will live on in the hearts of those we leave behind
With broken bones and our will of stone
In the end we will not stand alone

You cannot break this love with hate
A tribute to the fallen
Your choice is made so go your way
A tribute to the fallen
A tribute to the fallen
A tribute to the fallen

The Turning Point

In these days that pass before me
There was an anxious feeling that would hold me down
Tearing me inside
Bleeding my spirit

This is the turning point, the rising of the tide
No fear inside
This is the change that takes the suffering away
No more wasting time

Face the pain that suffocates
As the past returns to torment me
Wallow in my scars
Save me before I break

This is the turning point, the rising of the tide
No fear inside
This is the change that takes the suffering away
No more wasting time

Find the strength to maintain
Give me, give me a reason to believe
Search for truth that will not change
Give me, give me a reason to believe
[x2]

Find the strength to maintain
Search for truth that will not change

All That We Have

When will this end
Cast into a well of uncertainty
Contemplating all that dwells within you
When will this end
It's coming to the surface now
Stare down the throat of consequences
A lesson learned in life
Cast off the burdens
That plague your mind
No one can understand
Behind the silence within you
Something has got to give

Forgiveness is all we have,
Wounds will heal as time goes on
Nothing else will give you a peace of mind

Years spent holding onto anger and hatred
The feeling that things will never change
It eats you up inside,
Thinking that no one could ever understand, all the pain that you hide
Your burdens serve to hold you down

Forgiveness is all we have,
Are you willing to just let go?
Nothing else will give you a peace of mind

You can't blame yourself
You can't hold on thinking that you're the only one
You cannot hide, you cannot run from what's been said and done

Forgiveness is all we have,
Wounds will heal as time goes on
Nothing else will give you a peace of mind
Are you willing to just let go?
Nothing else will give you a peace of mind

Behind the silence, let all your anger go to find a peace of mind

You Don't Bleed For Me

There is something that has changed
Corrupted in your ways
Recite your contradictions
This world's perception has been grazed, distracted and dismayed
But you have all the answers for me

It's clear to me now you're not what you claim
You don't speak, you don't speak for me
There is no mistake, it's written on your face
You don't bleed, you don't bleed for me
Bleed for me

When the scales fall from our eyes, we see proof behind the lies
I don't believe a word you say

It's clear to me now you're not what you claim
You don't speak, you don't speak for me
There is no mistake, it's written on your face
You don't bleed, you don't bleed
You don't bleed for me

Fly your flag of righteousness
When underneath it is deviousness, it is greed and lies
Don't pretend to know me you martyr of disgrace
With your plastic smile
I don't believe a word you say
You don't speak for me
You don't bleed, you don't bleed
You don't bleed for me
For me

Your words betray
The life that you live is a lie
The truth remains
I see through you

It's clear to me now you're not what you claim
You don't speak, you don't speak for me
There is no mistake, it's written on your face
You don't bleed, you don't speak
You don't bleed, you don't bleed for me
You don't bleed for me

The Call

The sound of footsteps approaching
A storm of shadows reveal a figure forlorn
Whispering voices that slither into our ears,
As temptations sings and beckons us to fall
Under the skin, the blood begins to crawl
Rush to the heart, drain it from the soul
Come face to face with all you can't escape
Will you hold your ground or turn away

Release your inhibitions and answer to the call

The sun shines down to reveal a true image
Salvation sings and shows us all we know
The road is treacherous and lonely
Filled with the empty inventions of the soul
Under disillusion, run from confrontation
Or do we heed the judgment call?

Release your inhibitions and answer to the call

Leave behind this shell of flesh and bone
In the end we will answer to the call
The burning question remains - how much is too much to give?
Do your wings have the strength to carry on?
When we see redemption, how long will we wait for deliverance?
It takes everything to keep from falling now
Let go

Release your inhibitions and answer to the call

Leave behind this shell of flesh and bone
In the end we will answer to the call

No End In Sight

The age of the old vision has passed away,
The birth of a new way
This is confrontation

Struggle and pain of this life remains (Through the suffering we fight)
No end in sight (No end in sight)
The strength within our souls sustains (Until we see the light)
This determination, it feeds this fight (No end in sight)

No end in sight

Seeing the world through hardened eyes,
A vision of hopelessness
Reaching for the truth amongst the lies

Burn down your deception (Burn down)
There lies the way of the weak (The weak)
Rise again conquering
Born from destruction

Through the suffering we fight, no end in sight
Until we see the light, no end in sight

Yeah

Thrown into the endless flames
In a world of disarray
No longer numb to the pain,
Knowing that we fight to the grave
Wash away the fear of our ignorance,
I feel this bleeding

Through the suffering we fight, no end in sight
Until we see the light, no end in sight

They will see it in our eyes
Determined to leave behind our legacy,
Burned deep into our flesh to remind us
The memories and scars that define us,
We may suffer, but nothing will break our spirit

Seeing the world through opened eyes,
Separate from the ways of the world
Blinded to the suffering, the suffering

Through the suffering we fight, no end in sight
Until we see the light, there's no end in sight

Always

In these moments of loss and torment
When the vast skies don't seem to call to you
When the weight of this world bears down
And the stars have fallen like tears

I am with you always,
From the darkness of night until the morning
I am with you always,
From life until death takes me

Monuments built in remembrance of me
But monuments fade, erode and decay
The memories are all that remain
As far as east is from the west, remember

I am with you always,
From the darkness of night until the morning
I am with you always,
From life until death takes me

When hope seems lost down and lowly,
I am here with you always

I am with you always,
From the darkness of night

I am with you always,
From the darkness of night until the morning
I am with you always,
From life until death takes me

I am with you always,
From life until death takes me

Time Will Not Remain

These are the days our lives will change and we will see our worlds collide
Life is a journey throughout the years that pass a lesson to be learned
There is a purpose to all that we encounter in this existence
What builds us up may one day break us down

These days, search your heart
These days, let courage overtake you
This precious time is slipping through our fingers
Become the change you have been searching for

These are the days,
Our lives will change and time will not remain
These are the days,
Right before our eyes, we see our worlds collide

These days, there is hope
These days, never letting go
The definition of existence is to be aware of consciousness

These are the days,
Our lives will change and time will not remain
These are the days,
Right before our eyes, we see our worlds collide
Worlds collide

None of us should be thought of
As anything less than a potential to change the world

These are the days,
Our lives will change and time will not remain
These are the days,
Right before our eyes, we see our worlds collide

Blood Stains

[Bonus Track]

A river runs through the path you walk
Got to find a way to carry on through this
Ghosts from the past like a noose around your throat
A constant reminder of all the lies
Haunted by the darkness that follows every move you make
That feeling, nothing will ever be the same,
But you're the only one to blame
The blood stains

Disarm the lies that follow you
Will the truth soon see you through?

Disarm the lies

Down through the deeper water you're choking
No escaping
Retribution will find you

Disarm the lies that follow you
Will the truth soon see you through?
Disarm the pain that's burning through
Have no power over you

Drowning
As the pressure builds, will you make amends?
Calling
Hear the voices sing, cast into disgrace
Falling
Can't conceal the blood that stains your hands
Someday
Will you break the curse and face your hell?

Disarm the lies that follow you
Will the truth soon see you through?
Disarm the pain that's burning through
Have no power over you
Disarm

Slave To The Machine

[Bonus Track]

Back from the dead, this is the final calling
Hands grip the throat of the system
Against the grain
No more waiting for a change
Refuse to kneel
Wallowing and choking on this force fed sanity

This is the final calling, feeding us apathy
Bow down and serve your master - the new machine

Fall into illusion
Lost in this false reality
White noise and confusion
Enslaved to the new machine

Beneath the haze, a spirit we should not contain
This life, the blood that flows within our veins
Change
Arise from your slumber
Refuse to kneel
Wallowing and choking on this force fed sanity

This is the final calling, feeding us apathy
Bow down and serve your master - the new machine

I refuse to bow down
I refuse to bow down to this system
The new machine's conquering, fused into our blood stream
I refuse

This is the final calling, feeding us apathy
Bow down and serve your master - the new machine
