LYRICS
This revelation is the death of ignorance
Tangled in a state of suffocation
Slave to self righteousness
Damnation is on your lips
From sorrow to serenity, the truth is absolution,
From sorrow to serenity, its on your head
This is my last serenade
I feel you as you fall away
This is my last serenade
From yourself you can't run away
It's your choice, point the finger
But it's on your head
Your destination is a choice within yourself
Will you rise or become a slave
To self righteousness
Open up your heart and gaze within

Anyone else still playing this in 2024? Never gets old

[@dinham16]

[@jesseverdeck]

NEEDS MORE HOWARD!

[@hypocritex]

This is.. Mikes Hard.. Lemonaddddde

[@eastriders22]

Still listening. This was first song that i played to my son. He's 1,5 years old.

[@ridemx1416]

@hypocritex now I can't not hear it thanks haha

[@Hiddenphanton17]

Honestly this is my favorite KSE song. Don't get me wrong I love all of their music... but this was my introduction to them so it always has a special place

[@modalize]

no, u bastard, lets meet outside and talk about it. this definitely can not be your favourite song . lets go lets fight im coming give me the street

[@nolandavis2927]

Lamb Of God & As I Lay Dying & All That Remains & Killswitch Engage our the Early 2000s Metalcore bands

[@bighashgang1990]

@@nolandavis2927 what a time to be alive as a teenager lol those were the good days, I also liked bands like Poison the Well, 18 Visions, Atreyu, Job For a Cowboy, FFTL, Chimera, Norma Jean, and a slew of others

[@Khabasalainganba]

Same

[@jeihann]

same here too

[@UPtheIRONS52]

This is old school metalcore at it's finest right here.

[@guitarguru210]

Giant Squid I think normal people just call it metal...

[@UPtheIRONS52]

***** People who love specific facts call it metalcore.

[@sdny7111]

You are a 100% right. These newer fans weren't around for the real Metalcore KE , Shadows fall, Unearth, god forbid, bleeding through. They think devil wears Prada is Metalcore. That is bitchcore. fuck asking Alexandria too

[@XIXmaggot]

+Sd Ny Yep... fuck Asking Alexandria especially... just a bunch of talentless trash.

[@SaintAnger101]

+Sd Ny This is the problem with fans in the metal "community" now. Bashing other genres just because they're not to their taste or some other underlying ridiculous reason. Music is music and the problem is elitists with their "that's not blahblahblah" mindset. Build a bridge and get over it already.

[@Deathlycream]

This band is in my veins. I've been listening to them since i'm 17.. and I'm 31 now lol

[@reese1719]

+jonathan I'm 16 and this was the first song I listen to by them

[@TheRyanCape]

Deathlycream same. I'm 30

[@nickrabauliman9164]

Still love this song and its 2017, watching this and the other old KSE songs and I am 34! with a 17 year old, teaching him how to play this song but with the live style pinch harmonics.

[@blackeagle1159]

iwas 11 when iheard the end of a heartache and now im 17 and still loving this shit

[@funnybulletz]

same situation here, glad to find people like me, brings back memories

[@zedddddful]

I remember playing call of duty years ago to this song and changing the words to " this is my last hand grenade" what a sad act.

[@aligdatsmedatsme]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@ohalistair]

Classic gag.

[@133Nomad]

Thank you for this.

[@SnoopCattyCatt2000]

That’s amazing 😂

[@wilbervillalovos5755]

Lmaooooo

[@AP3XZ3R0]

A banger with chills on the chorus... beautiful song.

[@F0NZ13]

I love that soft quiet beginning and then its hits like a ton of bricks. Its just an adrenaline rush of heavy metal, coupled with Jesse's calming clean vocals and his monstrous(in a good way) harsh vocals make this song an absolute masterpiece.

[@nolandavis2927]

Including All That Remains Metalcore music

[@chickengrenade6367]

Listen to faith by limp bizkit lol

[@F0NZ13]

@chickengrenade6367 oh don't worry, I listen to it often

[@keiththrasher2575]

Still here listing 2024 😄😄😄

[@joeekennedy]

I have seen KSE live at least 20 times by now over 15 years. This song as remained my favorite song by them, including both Howard and Jesse's versions. I think this song sums up the band and their music as a whole.

[@SawdustJunky]

October 2021 - still listening to this wonderful work of art!

[@真DEMONOID実]

STILL LOVING IT in August 2024! Found them with this song and fell in love imediatelly! Greetings from BRazil!

[@JosueIgualador]

This song was the first one I heard of KSE, looks awesome in better quality, Jesse is still one of my favorite singer in this world, man rock on!!!

[@Joslyn_Josh]

+Josh Igualador youre just a kid

[@JosueIgualador]

Why would you think that?Angelus SangSang

[@JosueIgualador]

I'd bet you im probably around his same age hahaha doesnt really matter though, they're just an awesome band!

[@Buildlastkbanned]

holy diver was my first song when I was for covers of dios song

[@saintluciaofficial2019]

20 years later, this song is still epic.

[@rockmetalplaylists5595]

This was the very first Killswitch I'd heard, back in the day it was always on my playlist... What was I saying?.. This one never leaves my playlist 😎

[@AllcoreBD]

Still unbelievably my favourite song it's just perfect mix of anger pain sorrow and dreamy

[@thatbrit2005]

I remember the first time I started listening to KSE when end of heartache came out, then my mate told me I should listen the old singer and showed me this song and after that I couldn't stop listening to this album.. Howard did good things for this band but I've always preferred Jesse.

[@Blood0cean]

Exactly same story with me. End of heartache was good album cus it was already made complete except for when darkness falls. Howard is talented but did not fit this sound with his lyrics and is a poor writer in my opinion. I prefered jesse raw vocals in his prime. The albums post end of heartache were getting worse and worse and more generic. Why they would self title their worst album is still a mystery to me.

[@markphilliprivero6233]

Same here

[@roscoegiantsfan]

Damn right brother

[@dannyzeigler9892]

It blows my mind that this band changed my world 19 years ago. 2002 that's just crazy. They got me through my adolescents lol. I remember I saved my lunch money for two weeks to buy the end of heart ache. Such good times

[@markmendoza57]

To this VERY day 12yrs later, this song has such a hold on me. Quite literally minute I put this album on, it just sucked me in and from start to finish EVERY song was 🔥. Jesse has and always will be 1 my favorite singers/lyricist; the way hes able to combine/structure and deliver such POWER is truly amazing.

[@brig2540]

The first time I heard this song I was like oh wow, this would be a beautiful wedding song since the beginning was so angelic and beautiful 😅

[@franklineternal6527]

This is absolute masterpiece. Good old days

[@blastfromthepast999]

I rember hearing this band for the first time in 2002! It was on a metal compilation cd that I found in a magazine! The song was "Life to Lifeless" and it was just fuckin' awesome! I strugled a lot to buy their cd at that time (I live in Italy), but it was totally worth it! They really pushed metalcore out there!

[@sdny7111]

Yeah it had the 1st track off alive or just breathing on it too. That's the first time I heard them as well. been a fan ever since.

[@DEADLIFEcorps]

Sup Mario haha

[@nolandavis2927]

Them and All That Remains started their same metalcore sound in 2002

[@markpage8849]

Is and always will be one of the greatest songs created!

[@charityroberts396]

The beginning of this song is so pretty i have to close my eyes.

[@gothgatorgoddess9441]

Jesse's old vocal style can kill a throat. I'm glad he changed it and got more improved in his voice.

[@MukesBoy]

I first heard this in 05 and i was depressed AF. It blew me away hecaue thenfirst time I heard Killswitch was in 03 "Fixation of the darkness" and thats all i knew. I woke from a drunken stuper when i heard it. Im almost 48 now .These dudes have some songs that really spoke of my life man its crazy.

[@glassdude6996]

god this song got me thru some tough times......damn women

[@djviewpoint]

​@Eternal Rambler And you choose your left hand every night :D Men, women, doesnt matter. Either you're shallow, selfish and take advantage of everyone or you don't. Its that simple.

[@djviewpoint]

@Eternal Rambler yep

@Eternal Rambler and thats pretty gross, stop marrying with kids.

100% bro! Been there too!

[@brandanjack1429]

[@mathewreeve788]

The year was 2002 when this song released…. Minds were blown away, melted, twisted, and lifted… I was hooked since

[@fikosso]

I love it so much. I always regret when it comes to its end. I wish this song was longer...

[@claragarro8748]

Masterpiece , 2020 and still masterpiece

[@suzc862]

Agreed

[@saxonamborn2408]

Clara Garro Seriously just got goosebumps listening to it just now.

[@wiesawalebuda1258]

I remember that song was on top of the list for very long time

Oh my god they all so young compared to Strength of the Mind

[@joshuathomasbaxter9468]

That's literally what I was thinking!

[@SaintAnger101]

[@hailmetalforever]

Hell yeah man!!

[@kwamecoleman6550]

This song better then any new material they make I wish they get back in they prime

[@dude157]

not heard this in years. Think this came out my last year in high school, remember listening to it on a cd player with the headphone cable going up my sleeve listening to it in class.

[@LittleBatteler]

First KSE song I ever heard as a teen. That was like 2000 or something. Still my favourite and I will blast it til the day I die! Thanks for introducing metal in my life!!

[@jonassabimbas]

One of the best metal songs ever made! And what a vídeo clip! Special meaning when 20 years ago you were in love!

[@tannerfry3397]

I LOVE their old sound. Jesse was such a fucking beast. & STILL is. Also, A LOT of love for Howard. Killswitch Engage will always be my favorite band.

[@volusize]

Saw these at London Astoria when I was 13, I think it was the same night Slayer played. Such great memories ♥🇬🇧

[@gevilzombozo]

This is a Headbanger right here, love me some Killswitch Engage In the morning.

[@reylo7715]

I remember when this song/video came out like it was yesterday. Still slaps too

[@Joker6tyNine]

This is why I got into metal.. 20 plus years ago.. Killswitch laid the my foundation.. Still fucking blast this song after so many years

[@lew_new]

this is how I begun being a Killswitch Engage fan. Just amazing!

[@bloodyrose8520]

My fave killswitch song

[@marknashland3884]

These dudes are timeless. This song is just as good today in 2020 as it was way back then! Killswitch, August burns red and Trivium really helped me become a guitarist.

[@NotDeluded]

This video is the first time I'd heard/seen KSE.... Went out the next day and got the album. Seen them 3 times

[@Cyclopskick]

Good o'l high school days. Just takes me back to simpler times.

[@kurt05051987]

Listened to this one after a long long time. It reminded me of 2005-06.

[@BotF3eder]

I've seen KSE live twice. Once with Howard and once with Jesse. This friday I saw them with Jesse and I got to say - awesome... They are an awesome band and always will be, even with a new lead vocalist. Yeah sure, Jesse cant sing the songs exactly like Howard but he can sing the songs with his own strong voice. The last song they played was Holy Diver - my favorite song ;)

[@danielpayne9254]

Still my favorite KSE song ever... I loved Howard, but I'm happy to welcome Jesse back. Jesse's voice is just brutal as hell!

[@yomomasface]

Guitar tone seriously reminds me of old(obviously) Shadows Fall. Can’t get enough!

[@12nad_izzyyoungrichizzo95]

Most beautiful song I've had the pleasure of hearing

[@parisvioletha]

I cried when I heard this song live :')

[@Demigodking]

you would be wrong there Howard was amazing hes the main reason i started listening to KsE and when i heard he left it was sad now i gotta get used to Jesse its crazy

[@JoeBowler-r9n]

Killswitch Rule.🤘🤘

[@christopherkritzer5749]

Glad to see people still listening to real music 👊

[@phutureproof]

[@MRVWolfsburg]

Amazing song see them live at Norwich uea and they where amazing

[@MoinKhanCmt]

Not much people can understand the concept and the message in this song ,Your life was half wasted if you dont listne and feel Metalcore,2020 ? Here we go again, KSE forever

[@Luggi83]

I still remember hearing this for the first time at a friends place 18 years ago. I remember the exact moment and place like a photograph. This song not only introduced me to my all time favourite band but metalcore as a genre. This music will never be not amazing to me :-D

[@huggi3z08]

Brings me back to highschool, music that gives you chills

[@GrampsGaming91]

One of the best songs of all time IMO

[@kirkh4205]

I love the fact that they're using an Ibanez UV777BK Universe guitar (7-string).

[@adrianconlon]

This song deserves more than 310,000 hits. Should be in the millions.

[@DarkVileScream]

I know their stuff is so amazing they deserve a wider audience

[@adrianconlon]

Dead Pool You know it mate. :)

[@scartitty]

I remember seeing this when it first came out on Headbangers Ball!

[@jimmygray4525]

THIS IS MY LAST SERENADE, I FEEL YOU AS YOU FALL AWAY. THIS IS MY LAST SERENADE, FROM YOURSELF YOU CAN'T RUN AWAY.

[@kaneharvey8279]

[@bobdingo7729]

favorite song by them of all time

[@MagixScience]

Anyone catch how deep the ending is on this video? Right in the feels.. 😭

[@joelcalzado9785]

Can you explain??

[@colleeng7059]

Glad someone else noticed too. I think the spinning wheel thingy represents the girls life, and when he finally realized shes not gunna save herself and he cant save her (maybe from a drug habit and/or suicide or something) that's why he cried and stopped the wheel with his hand, as you can see the girl laying still in the background on the red couch. He finally let her go so he can move forward even though its probably the hardest thing he has ever done. Reminds me of a chick I used to be close friends with back in middle school who got heavy into drugs in high school and passed away recently at only age 24 or 25. Shit hurts everyone around that person so much. I hadnt spoken with her in years. Also this is the first time I've ever posted something personal on the internet. Something about this song just brings it out. Much love

[@vandaman9302]

One of my favorite Killswitch Engage songs

[@davosan6782]

And still their greatest song to date.

[@suzc862]

God I love this song so much.

[@MrJMO78]

Damn I miss this sound.

[@Yarlearl]

Why can't everyone just sack up and face the fact that both Howard and Jesse are both awesome and do not out do each other! KSE for life

[@pedroromo44]

The song that started them off. Can't believe there's only 1000 likes for this video, would love to hear them do this song again after so long. KSE!!!!!

[@guitartedoutlaw]

@ Joey Thompson Actually, Jesse wrote this song before Howard was in the band. Just thought I'd clear that up for you!

[@7732ish]

When i hear this song..... oh its just feelin lyk peace.........."its on your head!"

[@TheSpamuel44]

Both singers were\are great i love how no one is pissed off that Jesse is back, the new song reminds me of this song, i love the kind of nostalgia

[@abdullahasif1889]

This is so underrated.

[@kwamecoleman6550]

Favorite band since middle school

[@CathartikRequiem]

The both have their own strengths, their own weaknesses. Exactly.

[@drc9374]

Jesse's improved dramatically since this song.

[@OutcastMosquito]

Gotta admit his growling is intense in this

[@drc9374]

He was great here, as well. I feel like his singing ability is what truly developed more. His growls and screams have always been fantastic, in my opinion.

[@sdny7111]

I thought Jesse was sick on this album. Alive or just breathing was amazing when it came out. like lamb of gods a new American gospel only the old school fans appreciate how sick this was & is.

[@muhummadzohaib6317]

Sd Ny true

[@diveoshin1863]

When I saw he took over Howard’s spot I couldn’t believe such thing 😢 but damn he did a darn good job. Love them both❤

[@Hollyucinogen]

He actually was the original lead singer of Killswitch Engage before Howard took his spot (so that he could get enter a treatment center for his addiction). I would also recommend Alice In Chains and Pantera if you like Killswitch Engage. 😊

[@pancake105]

nothing can top their first 2 albums

[@renlafraise4359]

Times goes so fast ans still good listening band over those years.
