Killswitch Engage - Fixation On The Darkness Lyrics






Fixation on the darkness that engulfs this world
Drain the life force of our people, change
Return to the womb, new life
Lay your head to rest, mercy
To give you a peace of mind, lay your head to rest
Come together inside, this body is only a shell
Change, the only way we will survive
Light transfiguration of the soul, of the soul, of the mind
Tell them they will not hold us down, it's time for a change

  29. K.... N....

    The best

  30. G.... J....

    Jesus.. this dudes voice is hypnotizing..

  31. V.... S....

    Adam cracks me up so much 🤣

  32. J.... B....

    They are both awesome! We are so lucky!!!

  33. C.... X....

    Fuck yes!🔥

  34. C.... S....

    I always hear "drainED the life force of our people" weird..

  35. Z.... 4....

    I cant get enough of That opening riff.

  36. R.... ....

    This sounds terrible. I'm so glad that Jessie's back.

    R.... ....

    RealityCheck you don’t know Jack shit on what ur talking about bet you don’t even know how to sing in the first place. Lmao

    R.... ....

    @GamerkillahBlaze Don't make me laugh HAHAHA!!! Even on this video he "sings" over the heavy parts to make it more palatable to people like you that don't like heavy music. And you can accuse them of using auto tune all you want but if that's the case(I don't believe it is)they definitely did the same with Howard.
    If you were listening to Killswitch since the first album there's no way you'd prefer Howard. He killed the soul and sound of the band. Watered down MTV garbage is what they became.

    R.... ....

    @GamerkillahBlaze Times of grace crushes any album they did with Howard. The third and fourth albums were pure dog shit. There's not one bad album with Jessie.

    R.... ....

    RealityCheck Jesse can’t go from heavy to cleans it takes hell of a lot more skills to go from heavy to clean. The fact you think Jess can stand to Howard is Completely a joke also dickhead I’m talking about Howard’s live performances of Jesse songs sounded better than the actual album which every album uses auto tune smart one lmao Jesse tried singing Howard songs live couldn’t do it. Face it facts are facts Howard is better that’s why majority agrees. You just hate that fact... deal with it.

    R.... ....

    RealityCheck heard Times of grace and devil you know goes harder

  37. r.... ....

    Much prefer Jesse's vocals on this, not taking anything away from Howard especially the soft vocals which he wins for me, they're both solid, but my preference has and always will be Jesse

  38. d.... c....

    My God this was the dawn of Howard and Killswitch. I love the energy here. But I love Jesse’s Version more

  39. A.... O....

    Jesse is better!

  40. P.... M....

    I listen to this to pump myself up for Thanksgiving dinner 🦃🦃

  41. S.... B....

    I was 13 when this song came out... this is the best version.. I remember jesse but Howard was were it was always at...

  42. A.... S....

    Heard this song in 2004 when i 12 i've been in love ever since

  43. x.... ....

    Still here in 2018!!! 🤘🏻Man I miss Howard!

  44. R.... M....

    whos still watching in 2018

  45. J.... O....

    Is it true that the original has Jesse on vocals and Adam on drums?

  46. A.... G....

    Howard Jones is better than Jesse, my opinion.

  47. A.... G....

    Las 2 versiones son buenas

  48. R.... '....

    this search is still relevant in 2018! Love KSE.

  49. c.... ....

    Howard has ten times the voice of that cunt Jesse Leach: perfect name: white-trash & leech...

  50. i.... ....

    Love the intro

  51. L.... U....

    Haward Jones es mejor vocalista que el otro sujeto grande killswitch engage grande haward Jones 😊👏👏👏👏👏👏 hojala algún día hagan una gira y vengan a Chile como haward Jones cómo vocalista junto a otras bandas como as i lay doing , heaven shall burn o parkway drive los vamos a estar esperando \m/ 😠 \m/

  52. i.... ....

    I'm going to see them Wednesday night in Dublin

  53. J.... V....

    I played this cd on way work so many times it melted. Maybe vocals did that.... Hahaha

  54. T.... M....

    Essas porra de propaganda nos vídeos está foda!

  55. G.... ....

    Jesse Leach’s version is far better to me. I mean Howard’s isn’t bad but Jesse’s screams have always been better to me

  56. m.... ....

    2018 ? :D

  57. k.... b....

    Return to the world lay your head to rest.. those lyrics hit home for me I always think of my dead friends that's would like to tell them someday I'll see him again

  58. B.... ....

    I love KSE, I love both Jesse & Howard in equal measure. Their music really helps me through difficult times. I really hope I see them live one day. I would love to thank them personally for how much their music has truly been a life saver!

  59. H.... T....

    I listen to this while destroying the leftist philosophy of victimization.

  60. G.... ....

    Fucking loved it since day one \m/

  61. P.... A....

    Fixation on the Darkness is by far my favorite song by KSE. This song Fuckin Rocks!

  64. N.... S....

  65. n.... 4....

    Howard makes KSE Jesse is OK but it's not the same without Howard.

  66. D.... M....

    I want Howard’s PTW T-shirt 🤘🏽

  67. B.... S....

    You can't talk about Metalcore classic songs without putting this song from your list. Still one of the best Metalcore songs ever!

  68. T.... O....

    Man, I love me some Metal core. Grew up to it. Helps me contain my insanity, gets me pumped up, keeps my will strong and keeps me from giving up. I hold the genre of metal deep in my heart I feel it in my soul. My connection to metal and metal core is a bond that will never grow old. In my head I have these songs, songs from my dreams people may have never heard before but believe me metal will never die in my mind. Metal is my soul.

    T.... O....

    The Only Randonis Who doesn't man... this shit is all in our veins!👍

    T.... O....

    Same here

  69. e.... b....

    Fucking A I love this song. I'm a black man who loves metalcore

  70. b.... ....

    hell yea

  71. T.... ....

    Ok Howard Jones And Jesse Leach are both good. Anyone who disagrees is not a true killswitch fan

    T.... ....

    Howard and Jesse together is the best

    T.... ....

    old Jesse was raw

    T.... ....

    Accurate as fuck.

    T.... ....

    Howard is incredibly better.

    T.... ....

    But I still like Howard more

  72. T.... F....

    T.... D....

  81. K.... N....

    saw this back In the day on fuse when julia hosted that metal show lmao i didnt like it till i watched it on pot n was able to actually hear the lyrics stoned lmao. fell in love with the band from this exact video and I'm damned torn about which singer i like better howard or jesse man. cuz album versions jesse if i remember correctly and howards well as u can planely see the lead here but i love jesses screams especially on w/e settings were on that mic doubt its the actual live sound but is more been dubbed over but it's not the exact same as the album version go listen for your self you'll find I'm right. lol i pointed that out to a hardcore KSE fan who swore i was wrong lol but I'm not. glad for once to be right about something cuz this tracks amazing by both singers.

  82. S.... ....

    I need to find more bands like this.

  83. J.... S....

  86. N.... .....

  87. �.... �....

    Mil vezes o Jesse do que o Howard

  88. S.... E....

    Bs, Howard Jones not the singer anymore, its not the same without him, dont give a shit what anyone says!! Hes the badass of Killswitch period!!

  89. j.... h....

    I think both versions are great!

  90. S.... E....

    Howard Jones is the best for Killswitch and don't give a shit what anyone else thinks, one of a kind

  91. c.... W....

    i got clean listening to this song in the darkest of times. I came down hard and just slept and slept and ate and ate thinking "return to the womb" where i would be nourished by my true friends and family and "lay my head to rest" on my bed, and now i have peace of mind in my new life

  92. V.... T....

    @1:06, this is nothing more but completely genius awesome riffing.

  93. e.... m....

  96. D.... V....

    Damn! Honestly, I'm not into metal as much as I would like, but I do like some songs, like this one. This is probably one of the best chorus ever created, I get chills everytime I listen to this. Amazing!

  97. E.... ....

    Stop arguing about who is better guys. They both are amazing vocalists. I actually like clean part from Howard more at this song, but Jesse does screams better here.

  98. D.... N....

    howard was and always will be one of the best, if not the best, metal vocalists in a longggg time. period. i'd like to hear him and mikael akerfeldt do something together.
