Insomnium - The Killjoy Lyrics
To know love is to ache;
Hurt yourself and repent
For in the end all is gone;
Lights go out, your time is spent
Concede defeat and admit I was off the mark
If I were you I would turn away and hide my face
Swallow my pride and then finish here it's all disgrace
All of our dreams now laid on the sand
To wait by the perilous tides
To be washed away into the depths
And sink without a trace
Just a fool's hope remains
Fool yourself and repent
Mirth will soon turn into woe
Reveries to contempt
If I were you I would now bring the curtain down
Accept my lot and thus fathom out my own bounds
If I were you I would rue the day when I was born
Cleanse all in life and redeem myself from scorn
Remember these words when tide is turning
The less you hope for, the less you suffer
If you dare to trust, then you shall shatter
Lunge from the heights and fall to smithereens
And when you come here with charred wings and a defiled heart
Wait not for compassion or words of consolation
For only a gleeful smile is greeting you

Insomnium The Killjoy Comments
First song I heard from them about 13 years ago. Thanks to that lady, I was dating in Mexico!!!! Jajajjajajajajajja. Lo mejor que me dejo!!
Intro sounds like Opeth's "Godhead's Lament", and I heard this song years ago.
Instrumentary this band is BEST!
The climax at the end is magical.
Every Day come
just if you're wondering... 4 3 4 4... sick beat
Reminds me of darkest hour
13 years later, still my favorite
So good I named my youtube channel after this song.
To know love is to ache. The less you hope for the less you suffer. If you dare to trust then you shall shatter.
U know what, In Flames could have made similar style like Insomnium. Insomnium proves you can keep your sound even in today's modern time.
FUCKING HELL THE ENDING IS SO ORGASMIC!!!
Just got into them recently. this is amazing
Бальзам на душу)
I heard this song when it released while myspace was around. Never would i thought about running into this band again and hearing their new stuff (which is amazing) only to forget they made this song up until it played again on my youtube mix while at work yesterday years and years since I've heard it.
yes can
love! the back ground awesome 👍🤘
Why I fuckin’ cry ?!
Along with Last Statement, the best song on this album.
con esta canción conocí el amor
"And when you come here
With charred wings and a defiled heart
Wait not for compassion or words of consolation
For only a gleeful smile is greeting you..."
This part is right in the feels. Brings you home.
I love this song..thank you Insomnium for this masterpiece!!
What a line! BUM!
this and last statement had me in tears once, it was the most beautiful cry i,ve ever done. some songs are just worth crying for
You are not alone!! I also cried with their music...
awesome!! this song wakes me up.
What an amazing band....
Such a great song seeing these in Melbourne in a months time so glad there coming to Australia
Just a fools hope remains
Easily one of the best songs I've heard in my decade and a half of listening to metal. The lyrics, transitions, and overall atmosphere are fucking incredible.
LOVE! Come one! Live is all
SUPERB!
this is amazing at it's best
brutal, una de las mejores canciones de la historia
I love everbody who likes this song and leaves a nice comment. You folks have awesome taste in music. I adore you all.
Thomas K
A little late to the party, but so glad I made it.
Same to you friend. Rare are those who adore this piece.
Thanking you sir, this song and Over The Horizon will be playing at my funeral, two beautiful songs. 😊
Awh so wholesome <3
powerful.
the best <3
God i love this song so much!!!! I will have to definitely put this song over my next dirt biking footage
FFUUCCKKK I always forget i jizz when i hear shit like this.
lol
......(thumps up)
The only sound better is listening to the angels strumming their harps during a storm, electricity cracking, thunder roaring. Peace is found in the harmony.
how can be a song that awesome
when perfection is perused this kind of stuff is possible
Possible when honest with your self in the end and may i say your grammer is funny.
@s c "grammer"
@Éric Alfred Leslie Satie I always had spelling issues...Lol
die Meinung von der knallharten ferderation die am 29ten septerber 1943 gegen 400.000tausend mann den Bahnhof Stalingrad halten wollten, hält wie die kette der waffen ss kurz fall am 30ten im vormontag ohne ein wort zu verlieren.
Newer felt better ; there is an answer to all your deedps in the melancholyis
Maybe the lyrics are important to you. But I listen to a lot of roc
k\metal from around the world ,from Chthonic to Rammstein to khold and loads more for me the vocal has almost become an instrument itself also trying to decode the meaning from lyrics is probably fun but ultimately meaningless
Damn...
Think this is one of their best songs but the lyrics are so damn depressing lol.
@***** it makes you want to actually make meaning of your life right?
And yet 4:20 feels fucking victorious.
the whole point of the band is to be depressing until the end with a glimmer of hope :'D
The name of the album is above the weeping works. Go figure.
6 People can't come clear on the fact, that they are Killjoys.
One of the best songs from them... fuckin love it!:D
Cant believe ill meet them Woohoo !
yep back again, fuck just love it i'm going to bang my woman to this...
that is really a great listen
this is some very nice 8outta10 stars deserving shit
SIck build up @ 4:20
Sick chords and Double bass @ 5:00
this piece is just sick.
@4:20 Thats my new ringtone now!
That solo at 3:15 is undeniable a eargasm.
Masterpiece.
Insomnium is probably the best band I have personally heard.
frejalise is into JLS and 1dick.
Every single song is pretty much the same boring shit, over and over again.
Why are you even here then hahaha
"To know love is to ache"...so true Niilo, so true...
Why do you consider Mortal Share to be weak?
I love Mortal Share... But I agree with you on everything else. \,,/
Right now, this is their greatest song to me, I don't know if it's because it seems the lyrics were written for me...
Right with you there -\m/
WELL IN THIS ALBUM MY 2ND FAV IS GROVES OF DEATH....INCREDIBLE GUITAR MELODIES <3
absolutely :D but according to my itunes killjoy has most no. of plays...so def this is my fav song...followed by in the halls of awaiting...a masterpiece \,,/
I agree except, in my mind mortal share is one of their best songs
this song is a master piece!
boss song
"In their lofty chambers dwell forsaken and divine" this is only the first verse of mortal share. What do you mean Weak? Do you at least remember the ending?
mortal share is my second favourite :S
Mortal Share? dude, clean your ears.
mortal share comes off as a weak song? get the fuck outta here.
all I know is this song would be at the top for me
In what way is mortal share a weak song?
What are you talking about? Mortal share is one of their best songs, even tho that is true over 9(.9)/10 of their songs are really well made. ;)
For my funeral
the elder, In the grooves of death, daughter of the moon...u doesn't need a top 10...they're all great!!
Youtube stats are fucked up. I have heard this over 24,000 times... =_=
Always brings a scene of "joy" to my sould <3
Fuck you n.n
Mortal Share is weak in your opinion? The outro to that song is one of my favorites out of any song, ever
Actually this is better than *in live* videos... There hes words are shorter and song little bit lower.. Maybe they use computer etc to make it better but anyway most important is that I can make 'fun' with my girl friend while listening to this song! 4EVERINSOMNIUMPORN!
@Bingbnag that u stilll listen this in 2012
@Bingbnag in my balls xD
I wish the lyrics to this song were something Heath Ledger would've said with the Joker paint on, it seems damned fitting for that character.
@rapuncelinchains its my favourite U_U
UNIQUE SONG... the music and the lyrics...
EPICNESS!
damn, I fell in love with this band at 2009, and I listen to this song at 2011.
--
Damn. I got like 500+ metal songs in my iPod but it is the most used song among them all. The Killjoy just raped my repeat button.
@anonforuz
In the Groves of Death
Daughter of the Moon
Change of Heart
Into the Woods
At the Gates of Sleep
The Killjoy
Last Statement
Shades of Deep Green
Bereavement
Lay of the Autumn
in no particular order
I disliked it, problem?
Fuck yeah.
@LeadForBreakfast Pretty much sums up my thoughts about this song.
I had never even heard of this band before today and now I can't stop listening to them. It's like if Amon Amarth and In Flames had a love child. It's FUCKING EPIC!
if you say that you don't get a boner with this song, you´re obviously lying
love this song dammit!!!!
