Killswitch Engage - The Crownless King Lyrics
Abolition to this illusion
And all the monuments of hypocrisy
Burn them — burn them to the ground
Destroy them — they're useless to us now
Tear down reminders of a crownless king
This impostor claims authority
Indignation is closing in
You choose a war, a war you cannot win
No one — no one can save you now
Cast down — where no mercy can be found
No willingness to bow to a king without a crown
Where the virtuous can't be found
I defy you — to the death we defend
Defy you — your rule will come to an end
I defy you — you've become the crownless king
The penitent pray for the downfall
Of your, of your reign
The warrior soul shall break the hold of constraints
In the end you will suffer
Defy you — to the depths you descend
I defy you — to the death we defend
Defy you — your rule will come to an end
I defy you — you've become the crownless king
This storied confusion, distorted and diluted
Will come undone when the balance shifts
And the framework breaks
The framework breaks
To the depths you descend
Become the crownless king
Defy you — I defy you
Defy you — we defy you

Down for life 2.0 LOL!!
Randy LOG? nahhhh its Chuck Billy
Le Chuck est vraiement enorme
First 15 seconds you definitely feel that Testament wibe!! This is Chuck stuff!
when bands start using animal artworks its cos they dont have any more creativity? i mean thats my impression lol
Ripped off from Testament Down For Life
Ripped off from your mom
mano, todos os álbuns com jesse são fuderoso. ele e adam juntos são foda.
Welp, they've basically ripped off Testament's Down For Life. I don't know what to think of this, especially knowing that Chuck Billy, the man himself, is on this track. Personally, I'd like to believe this is some sort of tribute...
Best song in the album.
damn first the never by mark morton now this 2019 has done chuck billy well even without testament
Man this goes hard 👌🏻
Well....totally Sounds like DOWN FOR LIFE by Testament 😁
I thought exactly the same when I listened it the first time!!
Chuck Billy sounds like BATMETAL!
The mighty Chuck Billy showing these young bucks how it's done !
You never disappointed us! You keep the same music
This collaboration with Chuck Billy is awesome.
This song MUST be about trump :D
Four years of throwing-a-tantrum is getting really old, and I'm not even american.
Yes, a vote didn't go your way. Grow up lmao
Sem palavras pra essa música. Obra prima
Good shit with Chuck.
SONG LYRICS
Abolition to this illusion
And all the monuments of hypocrisy
Burn them — burn them to the ground
Destroy them — they're useless to us now
Tear down reminders of a crownless king
This impostor claims authority
Indignation is closing in
You choose a war, a war you cannot win
No one — no one can save you now
Cast down — where no mercy can be found
No willingness to bow to a king without a crown
Where the virtuous can't be found
Defy you — to the depths you descend
I defy you — to the death we defend
Defy you — your rule will come to an end
I defy you — you've become the crownless king
The penitent pray for the downfall
Of your, of your reign
The warrior soul shall break the hold of constraints
In the end you will suffer
Defy you — to the depths you descend
I defy you — to the death we defend
Defy you — your rule will come to an end
I defy you — you've become the crownless king
This storied confusion, distorted and diluted
Will come undone when the balance shifts
And the framework breaks
The framework breaks
To the depths you descend
Become the crownless king
Defy you — I defy you
Defy you — we defy you
Que pedrada mano🤘
BLEIGH, BLEIGH !... ... bleigh, bleigh...
Chuck Billy rules 🤘🤘🤘
You know that it was an obligation to have Chuck Billy on this song, when you really know " The Gathering " from Testament !
I just tweeted Chuck Billy to say thx :)
2:29 BLEGH
I like the fact a bunch of people are now going to know about Testament because of this.
This is such a true comment. Wait... I forgot who they were again.
UUURRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
best of 2019
Slipknot, Rammstein and BMTH tho
Some vocals sound like Lamb Of God, I love it.
If Chuck Billy done more heavier stuff with harsh vocals like this, I’d love it!
@Tommy Wilson then I think you would like the "demonic" and "the gathering" by testament... Probably the 2 most guttural oriented Testament albums ;)
@Tomás F. Rodrigues Started with "Low", peaked on "demonic" but "the gathering" is pretty spiffy too :D
this reminds me a bit to last Trivium album...
Listen to Down For Life from Testament ;)
I say bit of Testament
KsE nunca decepciona
NUNCA !!!
thrashão mano
pqp mano que pancada, estou surpreso foda demais
Ta do cacete esse álbum
Tá direto ao ponto demais
Muito foda
Não sei vocês, mas eu tô gostando mto desse álbum, ouso a dizer que é um dos melhores se não o melhor
Reminds me of Down for Life from Testament's The Gathering in a good good way
I thought exactly the same.
My head went straight to Elimination by Overkill, from that opening riff. Again, not a bad thing!
@leerobbo92 Yes Yes Yes you are so right! I just had more fresh in my memory the Testament riff.
@Vasileios Giannoudis σιγα ρε που μου εμαθες και τους Τestament
@Αλέξανδρος Γιαννούδης άτσα!
Yes yes YESS!!!
all Songs are so perfect!!!
Killswitch may not be the kibgs of metalcore, but definitely Gods of Metalcore! I mean imagine expevting a 10 from 10 Album, than the day is there and you listened to 4 songs and you already know it's a 15from 10!! They never disapoint \m/
Chuck Billy sounds immense.
You Guys have really turned it up . This Is Amazing !
You must have not heard their previous stuff? This is very weak album
@Bigstan - ジョナサン As Daylight Days set the bar too high
@Bigstan - ジョナサン beg to differ. Just like their past 2 albums, it's tight as fuck. That being said, KSE can't release anything bad
Bigstan - ジョナサン I bet you’re the life of the party
-headbanging in public-
my god how i love this band
I believe this song is whats known these days as a BANGER!!!!!
Yes Sir
holy shit
The return of thrash metal!!!!!!!!!!
its metalcore lmao
@GayToWin for sure Melodic metalcore, to be specific.
It's been back for some time now... And definitely not because of this
@GayToWin for sure we know it's metalcore, they are kings of metalcore afterall. but there's obvious thrash influence over here, chuck billy is here afterall. sort of like As I Lay Dying with their track "within destruction"
