Killswitch Engage - Embrace The Journey… Upraised Lyrics






A lifetime of searching
Questioning existence and purpose
From the setting sun
To the vast expanses
Death from birth in reverse
Examine the dimensions
in suspension of disbelief

The search continues
The soul escapes
Our existence
My soul aches

Beyond the aether, pass into the veil
Dissolved into nothingness
No hands can grasp
There is no answer to the questions
In the span of the infinite
To the concept of all time

I’m upraised a feeling I can't explain
My soul aches still searching is my refrain

Prepare the body for when the soul escapes
The last caress before the great awakening

Beyond all
All of our comprehension
Beyond all disbelief

Spread my ashes into the sea
Embrace the journey
Death where is thy sting

I’m upraised a feeling I can't explain
My soul aches still searching is my refrain
I’m upraised still searching for what remains
My soul aches this feeling I can't explain

Silence the voice of the self-righteous
condescending and without grace
Give sight to those who are blind with hatred
to see beyond hypocrisy

My soul searches beyond the aether
beyond the dogmatic haze
I still believe
I still believe

I, I still believe
I, I still believe...

  1. M.... ....

    Chills every time

  3. A.... G....

    🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 that ending

  4. R.... M....

    Yo that intro is so fucking badass! "LETS GOOO!" and the double bass drum hits. The chorus is pretty stellar too, with the rapid shredding guitar in the background give me goosebumps

  5. K.... A....

    Yeah, this album is better than Atonement. Not that the new album is bad, but this album is a high water mark in their discography.

  6. V.... S....

    Better than the new album!

  7. B.... T....

    The darkness has been inslaved chained awaiting hungerly this is dat real hitter son the riffs feel thise riffs

  8. B.... T....

    Some bass dat sound that energy what is this a portal to the other side feel the eather baby boy

  9. J.... B....

    That Bass line opening 😍😍

  10. I.... A....

    3:40 to a beautiful finish 🔥

  11. E.... ....

    Justin Foley doesn't get much love as the other guys in the band. Solid ass drummer!

  12. I.... ....

    To me my favorite Killswitch engage album.Jesses lyrics are Amazing and I relate so much were all in this life is confusing.

  13. j.... ....

    One of the heaviest opening riffs ever. Not quite The Thing That Should Not Be by Metallica, but pretty close.

  14. E.... ....

    Holy fucking shit

  15. S.... ....

    My favorite KSE track. Gives me goosebumps everytime. Thoughtful lyrics, brutally heavy at times, melodic. I love the atmospheric elements going on the latter part of the song. So fucking good. Round of applause.

  16. R.... M....

    I love the guitar in the backround during the chorus, such amazing fret work. God damn!

  17. G.... D....

    Love it

  18. A.... S....

    Too much 'end of heartache' at the end

  19. J.... D....

    On a serious note I interpret that this song is talking bout the separation if man an God and man's God they are successful y building... These are exciting dangerous times cern, d wave , sanctuary and other sci find coming to life... This a state of affairs the world has never seen and will see once then the Vail will tear and evil will spill out of every inch of this word... Not cool ending for most but those who believe if Jesus Christ will be sitting better than the kids on jersey shore and bill gates no lol... Real shit much love from Tampa.....

  20. D.... ....

    god damn the feelings in those lyrics. FUCK jesse i love you and thank you!!!!

  21. M.... W....

    I, I still believe!!!!!
    Reminds me precious time spent on walks with my beloved boxer dog who’s passed away 8 months ago. Was listening this and all KSE albums through headphones on every walk!
    Miss you buddy every day.
    “It won't be long, we'll meet again....”

    My soul searches beyond the aether, I still believe ... goosebumps to that end actually the part with Adam and Jesse is so amazing and in harmony.

  28. S.... S....

    I cry when I hear Adam's voice. He IS the entity music. Absolutely beautiful. Check out Times of Grace to hear him most there. Love you Jesse too no homo.

  29. G.... M....

    2:35 "I won't scatter your sorrow to the heartless sea"

  30. E.... S....

  32. B.... P....

    B.... P....

    "My soul searches beyond the aether, as I still believe."

  33. S.... P....

    I love 🔥 KILLSWITCH ENGAGE 🔥

  34. F.... 1....

    I love Howard and all but Jesse's melody in songs would top Howard over any day. I like Howard's song but they just can't top Jesse's melodies.

  35. R.... C....

    When I listen to KSE, i feel a kind a energy that I can't explain! IT'S KSE'S SONGS GROWING IN MY VEINS!!

  47. M.... G....

    Condescending and without grace! #Ejaculated

  48. M.... G....

    I love the art work for all of the videos

  49. L.... D....

    the bass is awesome and low. just like metal,metalcore,deathcore and hardcore bands should have

  50. a.... o....

  51. a.... o....

    old school kse. oh yeah!!

    L.... M....

    And Vektor

  53. s.... ....

    Why can't I help but think of Yuto from this song? Jeez, I think of Shun Kurosaki because of Alone I stand and now this..?

  54. A.... B....

    The ending of this songs gives me chills

  55. C.... R....

    la más rescatable de este feo álbum

  56. C.... W....

    You guys remind me a lot of the brothers that created the matrix. I'd be very interested in your thoughts about the King James Bible and the books of Daniel and Revelations.

  57. d.... o....

    No c k wea pero esta cancion me hace cagar de risa xd

  58. Z.... C....

    No :( KSE can't turn into other mainstream metal bands, it needs more softer songs like times of grace had in the majority of the songs

    Z.... C....

    Zach Campbell forgive me for my grammer it's always shit evertime I type on my phone

  59. m.... w....

    Probably the best opening to a song I've heard in recent memory.

  60. A.... I....

    This Song Will Pertpetuate In History ☝

  61. E.... T....

    I literally bought this album twice lol. One normal version, one deluxe edition

  62. l.... ....

    Jesse =nowadays kse some of yall gotta get over it

  63. s.... 4....

    This song is fuckin amazing. So is the band.

  64. C.... d....

    If you guys haven't seen kse live yet... You're really missing out

    C.... d....

    Aaron Knaus I saw them in 2014. One of the best days of my life for sure.

  65. A.... S....

    Sounds like a cross between "The End of Heartache" and "The Arms of Sorrow"

  66. B.... ....

    2:04 MY SORE LEGS

  67. D.... C....

    Fucking A. Hardcore shit

    D.... C....

    what do you mean? this is metalcore dude..

    D.... C....

    This is definitely not metalcore

    D.... C....

    The only metalcore aspect of this song is the vocals. The rest is mostly thrash metal.

  68. Z.... C....

    Why can't Jesse do songs like Always, my last serenade, the element of one, in due time, beyond the flames, and half of the stuff from times of grace more often, less heavy, makes more sense, and sounds appealing, this has no appeal, starting off right away with fast screaming lyrics that doesn't even sound like melodic music? shame

    Z.... C....

    +Zach Campbell Then don't. Nobody is forcing you to. Hir the "next" button and move on.

    Newsflash for you though. Your opinion doesn't really matter. Nobody cares. Everyone has different taste in music and nobody is right about what's "good".

    Funny thing though is that if you bothered to listen to the song past the first minute or so, you'd get your melody.

    Z.... C....

    I don't listen to it, it was a statement for other not for me

    Z.... C....

    And I'm too lazy to read your comment past the first paragraph

    Z.... C....

    Zach Campbell because it's up to the band to write in the style they feel...

    Z.... C....

    If you knew jesse's influences you could tell that the opening off this song is very hardcore punk. He was a Punk guy before a metal guy. You don't have to like every song of a band, but don't blindly say that it "has no appeal"

  69. s.... d....

    holy fuckin shit! yes thank my ears are the happiest extremities on my body at this moment

  70. G.... P....

    That opening riff is nasty!!!

  71. P.... ....

    the....Fucking....shit!!!

  72. G.... ....

    Awesome song

  73. l.... ....

    Howard kills it in this song. ;)

    l.... ....

    lukethecoolfool bruh

  74. H.... ....

    this album is fucking amazing, not one bad or boring song on the entire album.. fuck this is good man..

  75. J.... A....

    This song still shakes my soul.

  76. B.... H....

    That riff after the intro......

  77. V.... ....

    Eargasm

  78. R.... s....

    oooooooooo riiiiiio o cara endoidouuu kkk
    kse the best band metal core

  79. m.... ....

    Anybody else thinks this should be in cod zombies (current storyline)

    m.... ....

    Maybe in the next Treyarch made COD

  80. R.... ....

    Just saw them at the N.E. Metal/Hardcore fest and they killed it.... \m/

  81. B.... M....

    Spread my asshole, Open wide. Embrace the porno. Dick where is thy sting!?

  82. J.... K....

    Absolutely my favorite from Incarnate. HOW CAN ONE SONG BE SO BEAUTIFUL, REALLY?!? Those harmonies and melodies.. Just beautiful. Makes me cry when I'm on emotional mood.

  83. S.... N....

    Lyrically Jesse is so much better. Was sick hearing about lost love. Jesse writes about topics like hate, self development & improvement. So inspirational yet still heavy as hell. Album of the year, hands down.

  84. j.... e....

    No matter how many times I listen to this song in a row over and over and over and over it still gives me goosebumps every single fucking time especially the chorus! For like what, the past 16 years since KSE came out and I seen them live at Toad's Place in New Haven, Connecticut for the first time every single song they have written has just reached inside my chest and grabbed a hold of my heart and haven't let go yet and I don't think they EVER will.....actually I do know that they never will!! I feel honored that their message, music, lyrics & everything else that they're all about effects me in that way and has become such a big part of my life by pushing away all of the bullshit that has gone on and encouraged love, positivity, strength, unity & peace of mind. Not too many bands OR people take music & the message to heart like that anymore in ANY genre and if you ask me, what's the point then?! It doesn't make sense to me if you can't "feel" in any way, shape or form some kind of emotion for music but that's just my opinion and that's what I love the most \m/ \m/

  85. D.... G....

    This song is my FAVE from this album but all this fuckin' album is so much more levels from the previous one.. And I dont really see this happen..

  86. R.... E....

    This reminds me of the first time my faith was tested and I began my slow ascent into an atheist. The realization that you'd been brainwashed and lied to your entire life can fuck you up.. Some seriously powerful shit here. I wouldn't expect anything less from that man. On a side note, I've no doubt he still has faith in god, and that's all well and good, but it's very apparent this song is about his faith being tested.

  87. J.... H....

    This is probably the best Kilswitch Chorus since fixation on the darkness

  88. A.... ....

    SIC!!!!!!

  89. A.... M....

    This song sounds like it could of been on end of heartache if this was 12 years ago

  90. L.... H....

    I love that Adam all over this album get ittttt kiiddf

  91. M.... ....

    I have followed this band from the beginning. I was given a couple of tracks off of the self titled release on ferret… Actually, originally it wasn't on ferret… Anyway,I have always preferred Jesse. Howard is a great front man and a great vocalist, but you can feel Jesse's emotion.... It's palpable… Being a hard-core kid from the early 90s, there's a whole lot of hard-core's influence on this record, and it's brilliant! There's a whole lot of influence from a multitude of genres actually. That's very hard to pull off as smoothly as KSE have. This is probably one of the best "metal" albums of all time…

  92. M.... ....

    This song is in early favorite for me… The hooks on this album have fucking blown my mind! The only thing that's a little odd about this song, is that at three minutes and 50 seconds, it sounds like they're covering" Sober" by Tool for about 10-15 seconds.... Haha

  93. M.... M....

    I cried!

  94. c.... m....

    love the Alice in chains vibe they got going on with the intro this song and loyalty are my faves serious pit songs and I get to see them 4/20 doobies and circle pits for days

  95. W.... ....

    Adam is an absolutely amazing background vocalist. Be it screams, or cleans; Adam is always on point and I love it. He's legendary!

    W.... ....

    If he was lead vocalist he would be my fav vocalist ever! Most amazing voice!

    W.... ....

    I’m not gonna get into Howard vs Jesse thing.. both are amazing singers love them both..but combination of jesses and Adams voice is just pure heaven..it’s not just a singer it’s a band..

    W.... ....

    @Radiated Aviation then you should watch Times Of Grace. He make more beautiful voice there

  96. M.... ....

    "Silence the voice of the self-righteous, condescending and without grace
    Give sight to those who are blind with hatred, to see beyond hypocrisy
    My soul searches beyond the aether, beyond the dogmatic haze
    I still believe"

    Incredible lyrics.

    M.... ....

    MuteKrabby This is so darn good. Great lyrics from a great band.

  97. �.... ....

    My new favorite KsE song.

  98. S.... N....

    Love great deceit, quiet distress & hate by design buy this one is growing on me. Maybe it's just me but this is the album of the year. I love the new Megadeth, big fan of the new Soilwork & After the burial. I listen to alot of heavy music. This I keep coming back to. Haven't enjoyed KE like this sing aojb day's

  99. E.... ....

    Just the last two minutes inspires the shit out of me.

  100. D.... Z....

    this song kicked me in the face
