LYRICS
We must 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 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, live eternal
Anchor yourself to the foundation of everything you are
Believe you have just begun 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 grieve, end the suffering
We will live, live eternal

Adam D is one of the most underrated guys in metal. He not only shreds on the guitar but he's a great vocalist, song writer, and producer. He also won on The Price Is Right. Man of many talents.
I strongly agree
Adam D is the fukin man !
I did not know about the price is right! fucking awesome! 🤘
I AGREE 1000% DUDE
110%
This was the golden era of KSE. A completely underappreciated song, like much of their Howard era that isn’t a single. Still beats your name, breathe life, this is absolution, desperate times, etc just all amazing songs that were never on the radio
Do not grieve, end the suffering
We will live, were eternal
Those lines give me goosebumps.. I love it
That ending gives me tears thats how awesome this song is
it's actually "live eternal"
Love that part gives me chills every time
Yeah same such powerful words
A nice touch to the song, as they've clearly marked their music to live on forever.
I absolutely love this song. My dad who is a musician and loved heavy metal is the one that introduced this song like many others to me. I'm now 15, he is dead. This song always makes me cry, and helps to keep him in my thoughts. This song brings hope.
Hello
I FEEL ALIVE AGAIN BY KSE WILL HELP YOU THROUGH ❤❤
Keep your head up high loved 1 & May your Father rest in Heavenly peace.
I’m sorry for your loss, ma’am. I’m glad the song helps you.
@princesslee8018 I see that it has been some years since you posted this, I just want you to know that what your father truly is, just as you are, is immortal. I'm not here to sell you any creed, just know that what lies beyond the veil is incorruptible, unchanging, incomprehensible beauty and love. Godspeed on your journey my friend.
This song is one of those tunes that can literally save your life, as is the case with much of the KSE catalog. Goosebumps forever.
K Bizzy LONG LIVE KSE!!! I wish I wouldve grown up listening to metalcore in its prime, my brother in law is who got me started with KSE and ABR and seeing these concerts makes me wish I was there listening, jumping, screaming and letting the emotion and the energy of the concert flow through me
Typhoon5150 to be honest, I’m not a fan of most “metalcore”. It’s all just music to me. What drew me to this band in the beginning (AOJB) was the raw emotion and beauty of much of their music. Most metalcore just seems very derivative and formulaic to me. They’re one of those bands that strike deep in the heart. I listen to everything; bluegrass, hip hop, classical, James Taylor, Metal, whatever. KSE is inspirational stuff.
Exactly! The riffs are so damn hard sounding and awesome!
True... Crab Solution saved my life 🦀, crabs are eternal 🦀
I love this song. I tear up every time because it speaks to me so much. Howard lyrics says what I wish I can say.
This is honestly one of the best songs I think I've ever heard. The mix of melodic singing and the heavy screams is absolutely perfect. This song is such a gem
Their whole catalog.. beautiful
Couldn't have said it any better mate
(From any artist anytime)
Adam is such an amazing vocalist
If you haven't heard his band Times of Grace with Jesse, you need to.
One of the first albums I ever randomly bought as a kid when it released. Used to fall asleep listening, & that’s basically how you get into something new to you. Won a pair of tickets to a show for kse after that.
2:37 is by far one of the most beautiful sounds I've ever heard. Perfection.
Guitar technique sounds
#Dontforgetthedelay
@@cycliccornercyril40i Amazing riff. The subtle scream in there should not be ignored though. It's beautiful.
And those lyrics hits home
Try listening to Wolfheart
Easily my favorite part of the song, the guitar riff melody and the lyrics just awesome.🤘🤘
This is one of Howard's best songs for sure, I get huge chills when he sings at 3:00 just outstanding vocals. We miss you Howard :(
we miss you so much* Howard
He's not fucking dead. He hasn't even stopped singing. Don't say you miss him just because he switched bands, that doesn't make sense whatsoever.
Dustin Layton Bro people saying this shit is because is they MISS Howard in THIS band. Also you need to calm the fuck down THIS IS ABSOLUTION
Jerrodb5 He still writes the music, I literally can't understand why people don't like Die Alone by Light The Torch as much as these songs. He's only gotten better and people are nostalgic for no fucking reason.
Dustin Layton I really don't know but I personally thought of Howard as a good charm to KSE. I know people move on but it would be really fucking awesome if he did one more tour with these guys. Just for old time sake, also with a big crowd like the one in this video also will be awesome.
This era of kill switch was the most powerful era of their existence
I’m crying because this is so powerful and gives off so much hope!
“Smash your fists against it” vibes!!!
Gold KSE era
AMEN❗️☑️😇⚡️⚡️⚡️
That second part is also featured in Strength of the Mind "I've seen rock bottom, and I've smashed my fists against it! Just keep telling yourself it'll be alright" fucking fire
Don't let the world deceive you
Don't let their words betray you
Don't let their lies decieve you
Lead them to their GRAVES
I know such great lyrics bruh omgggg
One big reason I fuck with them of course their musical talent I miss Howard tho the new guy isn't the same he's aight but Howard is beautiful I almsot cried when I found out he quote cause of diabetes and h was sucocidal he said he almost shot himself I said and have been saying prayers for him ... Cause his music was important and special to me and at avery special important time I James to them to where I know almsot jaur abaiur every song they play and the lyrics when Howard was in the band...
Still relevant. Still true.
@@Robert-ou5pf More than ever before!!!
One of my all time favorite songs
The last chorus and the crowd jumping is Beautiful.
Love this song
A metal show is a great place to blow some energy. It's a big crowd too!
There are certain songs I will be able to remember for the rest of my life. This is definitely one of them.
Atleast I left my mark somehow
Im 49 and this song still slays me after all these years. Should be our anthem for right now...2023. God music just isnt like this anymore. Love you KSE!!!
Sheesh they need to get this guitarist singing more ! He's got a super good voice!!
Adam D IS Killswitch Engage xD
Times Of Grace
I think this is one of those rare songs that reminds you of your humanity, it's beautiful
Adam must be one of the coolest guitarists out there xD
Tzen- gzy and craziest too. lol
Daron Malakian
@@klemenmervar8848 eh
@@naldyano no Ben Weinman of dillinger escape plan is the craziest lol
What a phenomenal thumbnail for this video :p
Why else would I click? Adam D being a fucking legend!
Adam is such a dork and a badass at the same time. Plus he was chill as hell when I met him at 07 warped tour
Adam D is the boss 🤣
Me as always
One of the best bands to see live
The most amazing group of modern day musicians to ever grace this earth.
Let's narrow that down to just for metal music. trust me there is some seriously mind blowing godly like musicians out there. These guys are great though
i AGREE
I'm probably missing out a significant few but the ones that stick out for me are alter bridge, gojira and shinedown (just my po tho) :)
killswitch too of course
august burns red are better metalcore musicians
That primal scream at 3:26 still gets me after 15 years..
Absolutely love that part!!!!!
11years later and I’m still here lol. These guys will NEVER get old
best song Killswitch ever produced. It gives me chills everytime I hear it.
Hard to disagree but damn so many fantastic moving jams. Even the last track from this Album. SOOOO good \\m// KSE forever!
I know especially that chorus
They shot this video at Wacken 2008. I still remember checking YT every day after coming home from Wacken to see if the video was uploaded yet. It was a kickass show, can't believe it's already been 11 years. Going to see them for a fourth time in November, can't wait!
Probably their absolute best song, in my opinion. It's so freaking good! KSE FOREVER!
My favorite is "The End Of Heartache", and then "Holy Diver". 🤟
@@Hollyucinogen Those are great choices 😁
@@Ganon999 To be fair, though, Killswitch Engage with Howard Jones can do no wrong, in my humble opinion. 🤟
@@Hollyucinogen True
I can argue like 5 favorite songs from kse, but honestly, this may POSSIBLY be my favorite. It's got everything.
Thanks again to everyone for all the continued support!
Thank you for your music 💞 Love this song so much.
Bring Light The Torch to the UK, would love to see you live again 🤩
Fake Howard Jones :(
You are best
@midgrade1747 Unluckily no, it's fake.
@@loshergos3740 Real Howard is wonderful, I don't say the same about his fakes.
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, come on
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
Everytime Adam busts out that Harmony it gives me goosebumps
00:03 I can't get over how awesome Howard is. I do wish that I would've started listening to Killswitch Engage before 3 months ago though.
i agree... he's great
*****
no
He's definitely not better than Howard.
***** sorry but he is not.
anime0214 I like both, but vocally Howard is better, and lyrically Jesse is better. Just my opinion. Adam is the best though. ;)
Never realized how much I would miss Howard until he left.
same
+noahpariga The new Devil You Know album is real good.
truth
+R De La Paz i was expecting deep sad songs, was disapointed, worked as a hard album though
goestovalium11 eh I couldn't get into it
HOWARDS SINGING VOICE IS AMAZING
Beardedfella19 Gaming yes❤
One of the best bands of all time in my opinion
I hope that someday I will see a news headline that says "Howard Jones reunites with Killswitch Engage".
Antti Rautio fuck no! Jesse is way better. He's here to stay
MrTwodogshumping Um no, Howard is better by far. Jesse is good but he's not on Howard's level
Katanaeyegaming No taste in music at all 😑You're below me
V york I agree
You sorta got your wish lmao
2024 anyone?
Fuck yeah!
Yes do 🇧🇷
@@dirocha7437woah Brazil🤘🏻
Yes sir 💯
Yea
The song, the video, the stage performance, just all of it encapsulates what makes metal great. The lyrics are meaningful, the melody and music is incredible, the stage performance is great and fun, and the audience is just awesome. What more can you ask for?
I swear if Adam ever makes a band where he is the lead singer, that will be hands down one of my fav bands! Adam is my fav singer by far! To bad hes the guitar player
I wish he would do some leads for some songs, his voice is so good
Ever listen to Metallica?
Radiated Aviation listen to his other band Times of Grace ;D
YAAASSSS!!! Times of Grace is a beautiful piece of work.
"Anchor yourself to the foundation of everything you love
Believe you have just begun 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"
I am forever indebt to this band
*Let them do their worst
I love both vocalist but I’d have to say Howard’s vocals just resonate with my soul much more
3:14 never fails to get the goosebumps going. Damn, Howard was awesome.
its "metalcore" its what makes these bands like killswitch so amazing, the fact than they can scream, and sing, and put it to together to make it sound right
12-15 years it is just as incredible as it was back in the day. Long live KSE
God this brings back so many memories, I was only 16 and this was one of the first metal albums I bought. I was so naive to the world, and this made me feel on top of the world!
This really hearkens back to good times. The world and society has changed so much since then. I wish we could go back.
Love both singers, classic track!!
2024 all year. Always good to travel down the Killswitch pipeline of beautiful structured music.
I'm a old man crying...i hope the kids find this
I'm 15 and I love kse along with along with all that remains and as I lay dying I'm a big metal core guy
This song always makes me miss the 2000's what a great decade for a lot of things.
The thumbnail of Adam is hilarious lmao.
His face :D
Some of the best guitar tone, and singing you can ever wish for. This band is my number one metal band.
Estava com saudades desse som.. Várias memórias legais vem na mente haha época boa demaissss
Eu sinto o mesmo que vc mano, boas lembranças
... Metal s2
KSE takes metal to a whole new level. It can make you emotional or want to go on a rampage. Not a lot of bands do that
who is listening to this in 2020?
ALWAYS!!!!!!!
Me!
How can you not???
Soulrunner 2019 me
Forever and always.
"Anchor yourself to the foundation of everything you love"
dude this is the best kind of music video to see , hands down
Why yes..yes it is!👀
@@franciscoroque2383 glad you agree 👍
Agree
0:14 That FUCKING PIT!! I don't have any words for how fucking beautiful that is... man, you guys never ever disappoint
Would kill to have been there
Would loveeee to have gone
Where is the footage from i wonder....where they were playing.
The best metalcore band of all time 💯
🤘🏻🇺🇸
The OGs of metal core. Imitated by many, matched by none. Even to this day, no metal core band comes close.
Yes
I love how innocent Joel looks in all of this. I just love Howard in this music video. Genuinely my fav video on youtube
He looks so different in the live dvd his hair was short back in this era.
Howard's voice is Amazing
Jesse's voice is Amazing
FIN.
Christian Sanchez I think both sides can at least agree that you are 50% correct.
Fishing for likes ^^^^
Adam can sing too guys
adams pretty amazing as well
+Christian Sanchez howard was amazing on the records, but he was awful in the live performances... jesse sounds amazing live and on the record
This song still goes hard 2024
the countless hours this tune have played in my headphones on work.
these guys kickass live. one of the best concerts ive ever been to. it was acutally the first concert they had ever played any of the songs from the then not yet released As Daylight Dies album
Esta banda es unas de mis favoritas pero esta canción también y la letra de este tema ❤
Love the part right after the chorus. Makes me feel so full of life. Its beautiful
Killswitch might be the best band of all time yeah i said it
posted this on another video of killswitch and they are my favorite band of all: People, I don't think you take the lyrics as passionately and as serious as I do right in this moment. And this is coming from someone who spent years as an atheist. Just changed within a week or two ago. Killswitch didn't change my beliefs and I'm still agnostic, as in I'm not for sure certain, but I've seen things from my own experience and have been seeing things everyday that I didn't take notice of before. Your mind, it's not just your mind it's your soul, your body is the vehicle, there is eternal. Human beings can become gods if they are chosen, as in they are the most trusted and biggest hearted people out there. This might sound insane, and trust me If someone was to tell me this a little ago I would have thought the same thing. It's not. There's so much depth to this. This is just the surface. Just because someone is god doesn't mean they know how to fix everything. Added note: Lighting, frequencies, vibrations, stomach growls, sunshine/darkness, insects/animals -Acaidas, etc. This part is for someone who "gets it" or is starting to "get it." I will not explain any further as it only get's more unreal. Coming from someone who devotes his time learning as much as he can everyday on all subjects as he can possible without getting burned out and envisions to become a scientist and "save the world," This is beyond science.
too long, no one read this
Dontbesomad bro Get your head out your ass not everyone is as narrow minded like that. Or maybe even yourself, if you're saying you didn't read it Because it was too long...people don't have the attention span to read long things and learn and that's part of the reason why this country is the way it is, or any country for that matter. Edit-Failing.
Face Licking Booby Face too long, no one read this
I'm a diehard atheist, but respect the earnest emotion in your post. Anything that makes life more meaningful for you is a good thing in my book. Hope your insight brings you peace and happiness babe!
bro ur on some next level shit haha, fucking baked off ur nogan
1:10 what a great singing voice
This song gets me every time
I swear, all these lyrics are so quotable.
2017 here. First time seeing this video, but have loved KSE since about 2005. Just got chills, and a little sad thinking about how I'll miss seeing them like this live. They sure did put on a great show!
2023 still bangin!
You mean until the end of time 🔥🔥
We will not dye this way! Thank you for the beautiful reassurance !
I don't understand why when I hear this song I cry, this melody is unique
Te entiendo hermano me pasa igual Jesse leach me encanta pero igual se echa de menos Howard Jones
@@robertocahuevos23 Exacto hermano, esa voz es única
COOL CLEANS VOCALS 0:56 KSE MY FAVORITE BAND
i love the fact that they can mix some soft rock with a mixture of hard rock
It is called MetalCore. While I think A7X did better at MetalCore, I cannot deny that these guys used to make some good DeathCore.
jasper Bacon hey thats your opinion KsE is by far a better band
John Staus What..? You say it is my opinion, then say KSE is a better band by far like it is a fact... You sir, unwitingly contridicted yourself.
Dude, you stated yours, I stated mine
Seamus Baconbits Deathcore... seriously no they never did deathhore lol.
No matter how many times I hear it, always hits home in the deepest of ways. Extraordinary work fellas.
ich liebe das Lied!!!
Es ist mein lieblingslied aus Killswitch
Im doing a KsE meet n greet with them April 4 2025, 15 days before my birthday. Its gonna be one of the greatest days of my life.
