Collusion

Abandon Us
03:38
|
|||
|
By my own volition isolated and set free
the symptom of your violence and the dissident in me
Untrusting of the promise of a figurehead to lead
when they've broken all their promises and left us here to bleed
Abandon us
You turned your backs on all of us
Abandoned us
All we had reduced to dust
Use your intuition
Awaken from your sleep
How many years controlled by fear
the fallacies run deep
Contention diverted
Democracy is deserted
Abandon us
You turned your backs on all of us
Abandoned us
All we had reduced to dust
Can't you see the urgency
Spiraling uncertainty
There must be change so we can save ourselves from divergency
Yet here we are left to bleed
You abandoned us
Abandon us
You turned your backs on all of us
Abandoned us
All we had reduced to dust

Discordant Nation
02:40
|
|||
|
Living through discoordination in our society
A boiling point of our frustration and mass anxiety
Anyone can see undeniably diversion is the new disorder
Forced complacency
Assimilated to the syndicate
Kill all your sympathy in this discordant nation
Yield to and bend the knee to this discordant nation
Creating a nation that's controlled by fear and alienation
Kill all your sympathy in this discordant nation
Yield to and bend the knee to this discordant nation
It breaks us down
Sterilizing the compassion in your heart
Will you let it all tear us apart
Kill all your sympathy in this discordant nation
Yield to and bend the knee to this discordant nation

Aftermath
03:38
|
|||
|
Will we die alone
now we've been left for dead
At the behest of the words unsaid
The crux of survival from the heart to hands
Eradication of our promised land
We're reeling from the aftermath
Still bleeding from the damage of the past
We’re reeling from the aftermath
That feeling that it's just out of our grasp
This is the consequence
A people lost and dispossessed
We were misled
left for dead
But you can't give in to despair
We're reeling from the aftermath
Still bleeding from the damage of the past
We’re reeling from the aftermath
That feeling that it's just out of our grasp
I'd give my life to change this
but you can’t see through the lies
I'd give my life to save you
but I can't turn back the time
We're reeling from the aftermath
Still bleeding from the damage of the past
We’re reeling from the aftermath
That feeling that it's just out of our grasp
I'd give my life to change this
But you don't see through the lies
I can't turn back the time
But I still try.

Wander through this desolation
the emptiness inside
The venom of this isolation begins to claim it's prize
A part of me only you could see
to save this wretched wounded man from all consuming grief
Breathing a new vitality
Give me a place to rest
Connecting the deepest depths of me
Now my tongue must confess
It's you I find forever in my mind
We are aligned inside forever in my mind
We are aligned
When my breath begins to tremble
swallowed by this dread
I feed me to the wolves that linger in the shadows of my head
Find a pain in me
it will bleed eventually
Face to face with what must change
killing this deceit
Pull me from the depths
Save me from defeat
Deliver me a revelation to find a new belief
It's you I find forever in my mind
We are aligned inside forever in my mind
All you can see eternally
connection of spirit and what's in between this life
I find forever in my mind
Calculating divinity to understand the spirit unseen
Now we are aligned
We are aligned
And it's you I find forever in my mind
We are aligned inside
Forever
We are aligned

I Believe
Covering the truth inside us
giving into spite
Self inflicted paranoia hindering our sight
Lose track of what used to drive you to make you feel alive
That part of yourself that gave you the willingness to fight
Some people will say it's part of life
I chose to refuse to let it slide
Finding faith in these dark times
Keeping hope alive
I believe there is hope for better days
I believe we will conquer what we face
Discovering the faith inside us
save us from despair
No matter what this world will tell you
do not live in fear
Learn to let the light guide you
Let go of the pain
You can't kill the passion in me
My devotion remains
I believe there is hope for better days
I believe we will conquer what we face
Come what may the light will guide my way
Come what may I won't be led astray
Do you believe that something can renew your strength
When you find it you stop at nothing
it's in every word you say
So keep the faith
The light will guide my way
I won't be led astray
and nothing will stand in my way
I believe I believe that there is hope
I believe there is hope for better days

Where It Dies
03:27
|
|||
|
This is where it dies
wasted too much time deciphering the lies
defending who I thought you were inside
Vilified anyone who tried to expose the bitterness that you hide
Now you're caught in your own stalemate
No one left to manipulate
It left me drained
As I watched you change
I see who you've become
It's too late for your repentance
now our trust is undone
So you will suffer
Suffer my vengeance
You drown in your misery
You, now you are dead to me
I see who you’ve become
It's too late for your repentance
now our trust is undone
So you will suffer
Suffer my vengeance
You drown in your misery
You, now you are dead to me
This is where it dies
Suffer my vengeance

Held down against the pavement disavowed
Subordination of the need to expound
Coordinated covert invasion
The system
Appropriation of a subversive sound
The revolution can't be contained by a fascist system enslaved
to the belief that resistance will fade
Contrive a need of hostility to be deceived by division
Wars and greed death and disease it's a world in collusion
Hands bound
Determination can be found
in the minds of those who refuse to bow down
Stop waiting for a symbolic savior
you can turn belief to truth by living unbound
Contrive a need of hostility to be deceived by division
Wars and greed
death and disease
it's a world in collusion
What can't be seen is our captivity
Covert and crafted to create our dependency
Contrive a need of hostility to be deceived by division
Wars and greed
death and disease
it's a world in collusion

The Fall of Us
04:18
|
|||
|
Criticizing those who don't think the same
Analyzing your callousness
Cauterizing the wounds you caused in vain
I realize how much we've lost
Your words forsake and betray you
It's your facade that I see through
You let the bitterness take you
It's the death of our trust
My tears, my heart and blood are not enough in the fall of us
Your fears at war with trust and the loss of love it's the fall of us
Recognizing the life you claim to live
Normalizing your arrogance
I've got no more to give
My tears, my heart and blood are not enough in the fall of us
Your fears at war with trust and the loss of love it's the fall of us
It's never enough
The fall of us
Hate
Fear
I'm lost inside your vacant eyes
A cold mirror of the darkness you hide
I tried to save you from the pull of the tide
The fear has changed you into what you despise
Hatred is your weakness
Hatred consumes you
My tears, my heart and blood are not enough in the fall of us
Your fears at war with trust and the loss of love it's the fall of us
Your fears at war with trust
It's the fall of us

Broken Glass
02:30
|
|||
|
You speak in shards of broken glass
You punish me to try to take away my dignity
Strip away my confidence to prey upon the kindness that's in me
So now I will withstand
Drive a nail into my hand
Crucified to ruthless circumstance
Too blind to understand
that you alone will suffer the consequence
You speak in shards of broken glass
My wounds may bleed but the pain won't last
Now I watch as you collapse
My suffering will mend
Your bitterness won't end
So now I withstand
Drive a nail into my hand
Bleeding out but I still will not relent
Too blind to understand
in the end you will repent
You speak in shards of broken glass
My wounds may bleed but the pain won't last
Now I watch as you collapse

Requiem
03:29
|
|||
|
The sound of cries and lament
Spiraling into this descent
Cauterizing wounds that won't mend
Is this the beginning of the end
Can we be saved before it's too late
Our lives in declivity
Watching our world fall apart into dismay
Emerge from the pain again
I swear this is not the end
This is not our requiem
Avowed to avenge and repent
Rain down I brought punishment
No more will you suffer discontent
For you I will not relent
Your sacred heart I will defend
And we will see new life again
This is not our requiem
Emerge from the pain again
I swear this is not the end
This is not our requiem
We emerge from the pain again
This is not our requiem
I swear this is not the end
This is not our requiem

Killswitch Engage Westfield, Massachusetts
Hailing from Western, MA, Killswitch Engage always stood apart. For as deadly serious as their airtight technical riffing is, they also knew how to have a good time, riling up crowds with uncontainable energy and unpredictable performances. For their 9th full-length LP, 'This Consequence', they have distilled the hallmarks of their signature sound into a bruising, brutal, and bright body of work. ... more
