Killswitch Engage - Daylight Dies Lyrics






Slowly, we watch the degradation of the civilization
The rise and fall of all we are stands before us

This place is evil
Is there an answer?
This world is vile
We are the answer
Oh!

How long until we die?
Die from the inside out
How much is enough for us to see the light?
How much blood must be spilled?

Contest the lies
We cannot be so blind
Hear their cries
Don't wait till daylight dies, woah (daylight dies).

When there is blood on our hands,
How can we (how can we) ignore the truth?

Contest the lies
We cannot be so blind
Hear their cries
Don't wait till daylight dies.

The cost of one life
The price of one soul
Is too much to bear.

No more broken promises
Our shattered hearts will heal
No more broken promises
No more (no more)

Contest the lies
We cannot be so blind
Hear their cries (hear their cries).
Don't wait till daylight dies (daylight dies).

How long until it dies?
How long? (How long?) How long?
How long until it dies
How long? How long?

    Slowly we watch the degradation of the civilization
    The rise and fall of all we are
    Stands here before us
    This place is evil
    We stare in insult
    This world is vile
    We are the answer
    How long until we die?
    Die from the inside out
    How much is enough for us to see the light?
    How much blood must be shed?
    Come past the lies
    We cannot be so blind
    Hear their cries
    The wait 'til daylight dies
    Daylight dies
    We all have blood on our hands
    How can we (how can we) ignore the sound?
    Come past the lies
    We cannot be so blind
    Hear their cries
    The wait 'til daylight dies
    The cost of one life
    The price of ones soul
    Is too much to lose
    No more broken promises
    The shattered hearts will heal
    No more broken promises
    No more (no more)
    Come past the lies
    We cannot be so blind
    Hear their cries
    The wait 'til daylight dies
    How long until it dies?
    How long?
    How long?
    How long until it dies
    How long?
    How long?

    First band that EVER got me into heavy music. Glad I found these guys!!

  26. t.... t....

    I dedicate this lyrical masterpiece to the victims in Palestine...to all, please enlighten yourselves to this documentary series:

    COMMUNISM BY THE BACKDOOR

    It will change your life, no matter what you think you know about history.

    t.... t....

    I'm intrigued. Tell me your thought process.

    t.... t....

    First let me say I’m honored that you have responded in an appropriate manner, unlike most keyboard warriors who lash out with name calling and ridicule. I’m no more important than anyone else and I try to stay humble and true to my faith as a Christian. That being said, my ultimate goal is to lead the lost to Yeshua (Jesus).

    If I haven’t lost you at this point then let me make this as simplified as possible. Pretty much everything we as a society has been taught, especially in the western part of the world, is essentially a manufactured lie to keep us from the truth. I’ve been on an intellectual journey search for the truth for over a decade. Back in my early 20’s I was shown a documentary that exposed the attacks that took place on 9/11 as being something completely different than the official story of 19 highjackers using 2 planes to implode 3 skyscrapers into their own footprints. That set me off on this journey once I realized our so called “leaders” would pull that off. I don’t expect you to be convinced by that statement, but I do ask that you ask yourself (use discernment) if you’re ready to “wake up.”

    Essentially, when one wakes up it’s similar to the movie the matrix, where Neo is offered the red or blue pill, red meaning you wake up permanently, blue you go back to sleep.

    After years of research, I recently discovered the documentary series COMMUNISM BY THE BACKDOOR, and it happens to be one of the greatest encapsulating pieces of research regarding what many refer to as the New World Order. It’s really an Old World Order, and to be perfectly blunt about it, it’s a Jew World Order.

    Once again, I am a Christian, so it may come as a shock to hear me refer to it as a Jewish, but you must take the time to start your journey to come to the proper conclusions. This involves not caring what others think about you or your beliefs.

    Philosopher Voltaire is quoted in saying something similar to: To find out who rules over you, ask yourself who you can’t criticize. Well, it turns out he wasn’t exaggerating.

    I humbly ask you to start by watching that series, and take the time (even if it’s years and years) to dissect what it entails. I assure you, you will go through different stages of awakening, such as shock, denial, remorse, guilt, acceptance, and hopefully like what happened to me, I feel alive and have an ultimate purpose to expose the wickedness of this world, and lead people to salvation through Jesus Christ. Unfortunately, most people who are given the red pill immediately go into denial, and those are the people caught up in the proverbial Matrix, not realizing that their culture and ways of life are being destroyed by design.

    All evil needs to prevail is for good men and women to do nothing.

    That’s why you saw my comment today. I refuse to do Nothing.

    I am a huge fan of Killswitch, by the way, and adore both singers and their lyrics, as well as the instrumentalists in the band.

    I hope my message further peaks your interest/resonates with you.

    t.... t....

    Read the lyrics to the album "The Discovery" by Born of Osiris as well as anything from "The Haarp Machine" .. It's amazing what musicians can communicate through their art. I was always drawn to albums which happened to have this deeper lyrical content before I made the journey myself. "Augment" by Erra is another great one

    t.... t....

    Also seconded.. Victims of Palestine.. Israel will not be able to hide behind their Veil of Maya much longer.

    t.... t....

    Just search for "5 dancing Israelis" and prepare yourself to learn what really happened on 9/11!

  27. F.... ....

    This is what you blare when you see a fly on the wall and prepare for the battle and broken lamps.

    F.... ....

    Bless you!.

    More like when you see a giant wolf spider run under your bed.

    J.... B....

    I like metalcore

    J.... B....

    Its fucking metalcore

  31. I.... B....

    What metalcore should’ve always been

    I.... B....

    Iron Maiden IS heavy metal. Clean chorus is not really the distinction here

    I.... B....

    YES this comment

    I.... B....

    @Gilbert Valdez lol.

    I.... B....

    @Dave Baggs Exactly and I am 48.

  32. T.... ....

    To whomever sees the two comments about yt music being shut down... don't listen to them. they're just lying shitheads who want likes.

    T.... ....

    If kill switch engage's label decided they dont want it uploaded, they can take it down. Use your brain.

    T.... ....

    Wiggle they're not saying it's Killswitch Engage, they're saying it's YouTube itself. Use your brain.

    T.... ....

    Any videos NOT auto generated by youtube, or uploaded directly by KSE's label, are being removed. You can tell you dont use the internet much because you think its a lie when its one of the biggest controversies on the internet at the moment lmao.

    T.... ....

    Wiggle dude I have searched it up like ten times and nowhere does anyone mention it, it's only on this video where I see two people talking about it, which yes it is a lie. YT music IS mainly the auto generated videos which have not been shut down nor will they ever. Don't just assume that I don't use the internet because I'm on it everyday with intense research whenever someone says something that is not believable. That, plus I've been using this account since 2014 and started uploading consistently since 2016 so your argument is very unreasonable. And don't use an argument like "I have hundreds of more subscribers then you from all of my gaming videos." because that says nothing about your internet knowledge.

    T.... ....

    Most viewed videos music related are fan uploaded videos. Auto Generated Videos get the least amount of views. There used to be a Daylight Dies video out with over a million views and it got taken down. Now look how many views this has, 90k. Leave

  33. T.... ....

    Best Killswitch album from the Howard era.

    T.... ....

    Alden Sabatino I was replying to the original post you worm and fool and coward

    T.... ....

    best album from killswitch engage overall

    T.... ....

    Best album from the band, period.

  35. J.... B....

    Metalcore band Killswitch Engage

    J.... B....

    Jairrean Bolan indeed

    J.... B....

    Person Commenting on a Killswitch Engage song

    J.... B....

    Yes, quite so

    J.... B....

    It is indeed, my good sir

  36. C.... J....

    yea its so annoying, I use to be able to listen to all KSE albums and ATR and now their being taken down

    C.... J....

    NEVRDEAD are both of u guys high as fuck? like wtf r u talking about

    C.... J....

    chas jaehn you're complaining about free music being taken down. go buy the albums you fucking loser

    C.... J....

    this is youtube dumbass. there is free music all over it.

  37. K.... ....

    youtube is taking music down. enjoy while it lasts

    K.... ....

    When exactly was it supposed to be taken down?

    K.... ....

    Kappa that would mean less income for them, I don't think they would want that. Depends if the artist of the song wants their songs to be exclusive like Drake to make more money

    K.... ....

    This is official upload, it won’t come down

    K.... ....

    They took down th song a message to the flat Earth society, and all of the Bands music. I'm triggered.
