Killswitch Engage - Alone I Stand Lyrics






A day of great tribulation is upon us.
A time of deception conflict and unrest.
I will not cower in fear and submission.
I will hold my ground and resist.
It all starts in the mind.
From the beginning of days to the last and final end.
Uncertainty bleeds from within.
Open wounds stitched with precision.
Mind and body conditioned to obey.
They call us sons and daughters.
Only sheep led to the slaughter.
So many times, so many lies.
I am disconnected from a system I've rejected.
No allegiance.
Defiant I withstand.
This resistance.
I reject what you demand and alone I stand.
Rank, file and number.
We are gears in the machine.
Unseen to the eye the shackles are on the inside.
Illusion of security.
Rejection of this supremacy.
Confusion lead us to submission.
Disconnection from a system I've rejected.
No allegiance.
Defiant I withstand.
This resistance.
I reject what you demand and alone I stand.
There is great tribulation.
Upon us all.
Deception, conflict, and unrest.
Upon us all.
I will hold my ground.
I will resist.

Killswitch Engage Alone I Stand Comments
  1. C.... W....

    This is a hard song to headbang to lol

  2. K.... i....

    The guitar riffs in this are amazing. It puts those fad drop-d bands (who's song got licensed by the US Army and played in recruitment commercials) to shame.

  3. m.... a....

    Several Years of <3 \,,/ <3

  4. R.... G....

    This is good

  5. L.... 7....

    Nothing beats Killswitch engage

  6. B.... T....

    Im still listing bro there hitting dem licks way beyond there capabilty very machine head esc my fave son baby boy doggy shut and dance bitch

  7. J.... N....

    when i play cod or apex i always carry and alone i stand

  8. o.... k....

    I liked them better when I saw them on Uranus.

  9. h.... ....

    I have to admit I didn't like it at first but when that chorus hit I was like this is fukin 🔥🔥

  10. L.... R....

    Howard has that power in his voice that nothing can compare, Jesse has more energy and fit Killswitch engage fast stuff.

  11. B.... B....

    Alive or just breathing was their best album.

  12. S.... R....

    Yes!!! 😂

  13. J.... W....

    Dam Jesse your clean chorus line for this song is Sik brother.. Glad your back and engaged against the world of crap and Satan.. Jesus already one.. Satan is a fool. And everyone else in kse you lay down the power brothers God has blessed you all.

  14. G.... W....

    Ya know I've always loved this band since the first singer. But most people turned a blind eye when this guy came around. I honestly love his voice😂🤘 Dont get me wrong old singer was better but hey this guy rocks tf out🤘👊

    G.... W....

    This is the original singer. The actual old singer. Lol

  15. r.... ....

    Really nice!

  16. C.... B....

    Jesse: we will stand up as one against the world!
    Howard: My heart hurts, I'm in my feelings.
    Both great musicians, both great screamers, vocalists. I just prefer Jesse's original killswitch direction with the band. Just listening to the new material, cleaner sound, he sounds better, but not as hard. No matter the argument, kse has always been kickass.

  17. g.... b....

    In killswitch we trust

  18. R.... M....

    Nice haunted cover

    R.... M....

    Rex M haunted cover ?

  19. l.... ....

    Oh look another one of those 'resist capitalism' songs. How pathetic.

    l.... ....

    Nothing about capitalism is even implied here. It's more about general overbearing authority figures that seeks to control individuals.

    l.... ....

    @winged_hussar      If you don't like it, fuck off of metal. Metal and hardcore have come from a long history of liberalism. Many of the original metalcore and punk bands of the eighties and nineties were very political and almost exclusively liberal/socialist. This is not a place for your ignorance. Fuck you, fuck capitalism and fuck Trump.

  20. S.... P....

    Отличная песня, но склейка аудио... просто портит всю картину. Скажите, я один такой особенный, начиная с 0:54 и дальше слышу дурацкую склейку? Если, кто-то будет проходить мимо из русской аудитории, поделитесь своим мнением на счёт этого.

  21. A.... J....

  50. D.... ....

    reminds me of Reckless and Relentless era Asking Alexandria

    D.... ....

    Dan Blasphemy. Asking Alexandria is shit. Pure garbage. Not comparable to a band like KSE

  63. B.... M....

    Chris Mccarty I mean technically this is the old singer too lol

    C.... M....

    Chris Mccarty who Howard jones? His not the old singer

    C.... M....

    This is the old singer

  65. A.... K....

    Why am I just hearing this for the first time. Unbelievable. The riffs and vocal. As an early 2000s KSE fan....this is like that...only 3D. Amazing

  66. c.... w....

    im gonna be honest i like jessse leach alot hes a badass vocalist but tbh with everyone i love howard jones hes a badass vocalist and hes great asf but they are bothe bad ass good job killswitch engage

  67. A.... S....

    This whole album is FUCKING AWESOME the new singer is great!

  68. A.... W....

    just have to say thanks for metal my head ach is gone

  69. G.... D....

    Its the same fucking loud devil voice bullshit everybody scraps off of each other for the past garbage metal thrash years.. At least the old singer had a voice that was more legendary than this same old nothing new..The listener just becomes a robot to the status quo of garbage metal and not breaking the bounds beyond..tiring and boring...now..and we know that Hate By Design is really hate otherwise you would have had both old and new singer involved in that mix that would have really broken ground, but I know.. The record execs pay the check.. So kiss ass as you must. I realize you have to get paid..Its the nature of the business.

    G.... D....

    GRAMMATON DAVID This is the original singer Jesse Leach, he was here before Howard. He brings the heart back to the band.

    G.... D....

    +cReDiiTz Just because some people didn't already know and love KSE before Howard, doesn't mean that he made KSE what it is today. wtf dude? He didn't contribute shit to the sound and style of the last two albums (which obviously is what they are today). And as for "being popular" the band could've easily grown with Jesse over the years. Howard wasn't needed in any way for this band to become popular. Hell I'm so glad that Jesse is back and brought the original KSE with him. Two of the best albums in years. I don't miss Howard one bit now that the real KSE is back. And yes, it fucking matters that he is the original one. At least for the fans of the first hour. I don't give a fuck about the fee fees of those who joined later and were only able to enjoy Jesse's place holder.

  70. S.... K....

    gonna see them on sunday in vienna so blessed im gonna lose my shiit in pit

  71. O.... C....

    Absolute perfection.

  72. A.... B....

    Get to see them at Louder Than Live festival in Louisville, KY tomorrow! I can't wait!!!!

  73. A.... G....

    saludos de chile yeeeeeah

  74. T.... A....

    This song is dedicated to us in the Libertarian Party and our struggle against the political establishment that's trying desperately to get us to vote to preserve the duopoly

  75. k.... w....

    I stand alone! Always!

  76. J.... D....

    this album is so fucking awesome!!!

  77. C.... A....

  81. L.... B....

    \m/ THIS IS SOME EPIC ASS SHIT \M/

  82. S.... C....

    this song is badass

  83. C.... ....

    Godsmack is that you?

  84. D.... C....

    1st minute sounds like August Burns Red. Anyone else think so?

  85. M.... H....

    Jessie Leach's vocal are just sick.

  86. s.... ....

    The riff at 2:10 makes me headbang so fucking hard

  87. N.... M....

    Song is perfection. The tune, the vocal, everything matches.

    N.... M....

    i agree and loyalty is the other heavy hitting track these guys in my opinoin r in league of there own.

  88. E.... O....

    look at the ratio of likes to dislikes for this video (audio)

  89. M.... C....

    I am loving this especially the tuning

  90. D.... W....

    I love KSE

  91. T.... G....

    wow, they are topping themselves again...,I have KSE fever once again, just like the old days, JESSE is back singing with his heart on the palm of his hand, something that Howard always missed, even thoug his cleans and growls range was much more, he will never top Jesse as a true inspiring metal vocalist....Hands down

    T.... G....

    Honestly I think his range is the same now if not greater than Howards. Plus Howards cleans have declined since he left KsE

  92. X.... Y....

    I reject you lead ship LOP gethigh and LOP ripper LOP sinister you guys will never be leaders in this world you guys ate not leaders but bitches who do not get what they want so you abouse you leadership in LOP you are worst leader I ever seen in my life the worst fucking leaders in the world one world for just one world you 3 are fucking trators

  93. A.... c....

    KSE Is fucking awesome !!!!!!

  94. S.... ....

    Jessie knows whats up, fuck the illuminati

  95. N.... K....

    lol what are they saying

  96. J.... S....

    I want to hear some more low screams from leach. from what it sounds they're pretty good.

    J.... S....

    Jeffrey Sixkiller He definitely wouldnt be out of place in a death metal band. Speaking of which Adam is playing guitar and bass for a death metal band now called Serpentine Dominion, with Corpsegrinder on vocals and Shannon Lucas on drums. It's good, check it out, it shows that Adam has a death metal side to him.

  97. J.... N....

    got this album a few days ago and i can't put it way. killswitch blew me away with this one. its cool they got Jesse leach back too

  98. e.... ....

    just saw them live... absolutely fantastic!!!!!
