LYRICS:
Resound the outcry, raise the signal of distress. We are compromised
They have silenced our dissent. A dull complacency covers humanity
This systematic hate of deceit
How many more will die before we realize the truth has been disguised?
Violence increased no justice and no peace. In the great deceit
The discontent silenced or put to death
In the great deceit. It’s mental slavery
Our segregation is further fed by ignorance
This disconnection through color of the flesh
Blood of generations, saturate our roots. But history conceals the truth
How can we breathe? The silence is killing me
How can we breathe? Who is the enemy
How can we breathe? Suffocate humanity
How can we breathe? No justice. No peace

[@danielclark-hughes692]

That riff just crushes it

[@TobyKBTY]

HOLY SHIT this is like the new "To the sons of man". Short, sweet and fucking heavy!

[@Davephatbuds]

That bass though.

[@tobeinhimalone]

Here are the LYRICS adapted from vocals word for word: Resound the outcry, raise the signal of distress. We are compromised. They have silenced our dissent. A dull complacency covers humanity. This systematic hate of deceit. How many more will die before we realize the truth has been disguised? Violence increased, no justice and no peace in the great deceit. The discontent silenced or put to death in the great deceit. It’s mental slavery. Our segregation is further fed by ignorance. This disconnection through color of the flesh. Blood of generations saturate our roots, but history conceals the truth. Violence increased, no justice and no peace in the great deceit. The discontent (the discontent) silenced or put to death in the great deceit. This is the great deceit. How can we breathe? The silence is killing me. How can we breathe? Who is the enemy? How can we breathe? Suffocate humanity. How can we breathe? No justice. No peace. Violence, no justice and no peace in the great deceit. The discontent (the discontent) silenced or put to death in the great deceit. It’s mental slavery.

[@philcore4759]

that bass is CLUNKING!!!!!!!!!!!

[@sdny7111]

They just released this song. This is one of my favorite songs on the album. Just has such intensity. This pumps me up. Adam makes it even heavier with his growls. This sounds like aojb type song.

[@ofironandashes3355]

By far the grittiest, heaviest song on the album.. And it's fuckin glorious.

[@jakebuckett4031]

One of the best songs on this album. I cant wait to see you guys at download festival this year.

[@Williamstanway]

guys, I can't stop commenting , but as a day one kill switch fan I put my hand on my heart and say this material is already a classic

[@zacharyeastwood9411]

holy shit all the songs came at once!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@danielrobertson9967]

+Zachary Eastwood I came at the same time also.

[@s90004howie]

+Zachary Eastwood Its like Christmas...but even better

[@Qthetar]

Best song of the album. Not even debatable.

[@dannie2712]

Ikr i just wish more songs on this album was like this 1.

[@dannie2712]

Triumph Through Tragedy from the Special edition as well. Adam actually does gutterals in it!

[@djentlee9064]

top 3 best songs on the album imo

[@mutekrabby5039]

This album is so good I'm already looking forward to the next one.

[@vector4800]

Im back to metalcore thanks to KSE.

[@heelgill]

What do you think about Atonement and Atonement B-Sides?

[@mutekrabby5039]

I think Atonement is even better. Atonement II is also very good. They just keep getting better and better.

[@heelgill]

@@mutekrabby5039 great.

[@51-73-i6w]

Atonement sucks compared to this album, Jesse's vocals were way better here

[@brittanymonteith9780]

this song is fucking insane

[@xaydegonzalez6007]

+Brittany Monteith a song I would make love to you with

[@sooner91]

+Xayde Gonzalez lol good god man.

[@metallife6666]

Pure Killswitch Engage Epicness!

[@JohnnyMartany]

Master of this era

[@oneeyesy3457]

Damn if this song isn’t relevant as hell right now

[@augustofromanarcho-capital2673]

Wolą każdej jednostki na tym świecie jest być wolnym od przemocy ★★ i nie możecie tego podważyć. TO JEST WOLA CAŁEGO LUDU, a nie tylko tyrania jakiejś grupy. Martwcie się o swoje życie. Ja popieram Wolność I Ryzyko.

[@ILLRICARDO]

the precision of the guitar work is perfection !!

[@TheInvertedFollicle507]

This is actually my favourite album by these guys.

[@BatteryAcidEater]

Amazing band ❤❤❤❤

[@joannesmith4655]

UNFUCKING BELIEVABLE> KILLSWITCH DOES IT YET AGAIN> THANK YOU SO MUCH KSE. I TRULY LOVE YOU GUYS

[@yatox8]

going to buy this as my first CD in 10 years. THE METAL LIVES ON!

[@sdny7111]

This album is worth buying. I like every song , not many albums I can say that these days. This the new After the burial & I bought the new Megadeth too

[@ryanbrown2533]

Album of the year for metal that's for sure. there's no doubt about it.

[@TheAwesomeOneY2J]

I'm stunned,best album on 2016 I believe......

[@emperorceegle]

+CV Punk idk I like After the Burials album more, but this one deff comes close, I really haven't listened to KSE for a while until the album came out and I'm very impressed with Jesses' vocals

[@ALLHAILSATAN777]

+Cejay M (DWP rulezD00D) agree with ya there. both of them are my tops bands, and they fucking delivered this year! \m/

[@sdny7111]

+Cejay M (DWP rulezD00D) Both great love After the burial but this has it all. Just gets me fucking pumped. Intensity is unmatched by anyone IMO

[@emperorceegle]

There is deff a genre difference between those two bands, i love this album so much cause you get that oldschool metal nostalgia with intense heavy moments! It's awesomeee

[@sdny7111]

+Cejay M (DWP rulezD00D) Oh yeah After the burial is more progressive & not vocally melodic. But this album is as heavy in its own right. Love the Metal stuff myself. Been a Metalhead for 25 years. This year has been great so far. Like the new Megadeth & new Soilwork too

[@RDanteish]

Awesome!!! Killswitch engage is freaking awesome !!!!

[@danielclark-hughes692]

"How many more will die, before we realise, the truth has been disguised?"

[@icewolf371]

Yes. Shred. Thank you KE.

[@TheAgressor2]

oh my godness ,, i feel this, feeling the strings

[@furkansavc6602]

i cant wait for this song to played live!!!

[@ReprogrammedToHate]

Best song of the Jesse era of course.

[@stefanhohneck8879]

Well Killswitch is gonna be a Killer at the festivals this sommer!

[@codyt6250]

Hell yeah \m/ best song iv'e heard so far

[@lucasamaral9749]

Awesome

[@Metalfreak-pr9pp]

Wow, I love album

[@CoriniansSaySalame]

that fucking opening riff!

[@tanogg794]

great song for a riot 10/10, will uprise.

[@northwindkey]

2016 is a very promising year for metal indeed, Killswitch, Metallica, possibly A7X, ADTR, etc.

[@rey1jj]

darkstar100x ADTR isn't metal...

[@northwindkey]

rey1jj Listen to ADTR "Exposed". It's metalcore. Also, I was right about A7X.

[@SkateMadness96]

darkstar100x that’s way more djent than it is metalcore

[@LegendarySnipez7000]

2018 is also a promising year for Metal cuz a lot of people still listen to it, and 2019

[@ives3572]

Awesome song with a really relevant lyrics to society, especially to today's society. Jesse's vocals sound wicked, KSE rocks!

[@sdny7111]

Been listening to this for 2 days straight @ work. This is thier best shit since the first 2 albums. Reminds me a little of a band called Overcast. Which was the singer of Shadows fall's old band. This song is sick like the opening track hats by design but the whole album is top notch. Out of all the great music this year After the buried, Megadeth, Soilwork even lamb of God this is the best yet.

[@iwarhawk12]

+Sd Ny must be because KSE´s bass player played in Overcast too ;)

[@sdny7111]

+iwarhawk12 Glad someone else remembers Overcast. I seen them live back in the 90's with Candiria. IMO they where better than Shadows fall. More raw & Hardcore feel. That's why I love this KE album so much. It has that same feel. Real Metal with HC breakdowns.

[@iwarhawk12]

Hohoh ;))

[@danrolfe7862]

OMFG

[@konohaninja1985]

Crunchy. F Yeah!

[@EerieBetrayal]

fucking awesome song

[@714GriM]

fucking great. Lyrics are intense! love you guys foreverrrr! brutal album!!! >:)

[@TheAgressor2]

This beautiful song in live knotfest méxico , te people screaming and move your heads 🤘🏼😁🤘🏼

[@garyfosterii2837]

Needless to say maturation should be used before a post. Ideology of the time's work is best with your personal scope for mankind's future.

[@TONY-gc5ey]

This album is fucking epic

[@thebeautywithinthedestruct3792]

a amazing album I believe one song was okay but that would be a 8 .9 this album is just perfect it did even better then the last album an that was pure beautiful

[@JeremySharpSMSG]

Oh its Jesse Leach alright! Just a certain sound here that lets u know its him here. The band performs a little differently!

[@jeffsilvestro2777]

good shit

[@ericnieves5533]

HELL YEAH!!!!!!

[@BrainToCrushTV]

Love it!

[@kwamecoleman6550]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥holy fuck this is this shit im talking about ...lets fucking go ............

[@jpballer100]

love the chorus, epic.

[@ragnarladbrok9516]

Ok, taking back all the shit I've said earlier about first singles, this is killer!! ...and maybe calculated:)

[@peterpansen2628]

Shiiiiiiiiiiit THIS IS FUCKING AWESOME O_O

[@zildgand]

Nice!! I'm sold!!!

[@jobsonmetal1189]

oldscholl cara foda demais

[@RafhaelJorgeMetal]

\w/ brutal

[@ogbee9690]

is basically "the call" of incarnate

[@jesuiskatatouille8202]

If Killswitch played this whole album at their next show I would not be disappointed! 😃 Also I covered Hate by Design acoustically on my channel let me know what you think !!! Woop!! 🤘🎤🎸📽

[@jesuiskatatouille8202]

+KingOfLegends23 Well it worked out pretty well I think :)

[@jesuiskatatouille8202]

+KingOfLegends23 that is a great cover used to listen to that acoustic album all the time 😊

[@jesuiskatatouille8202]

+KingOfLegends23 why don't you? It's fun :) I'm really happy with doing covers it gives me something to do especially while I'm ill atm so it's good :)

[@codyking3129]

Anyone else get a little God Forbid feel to this?

[@gonzalochairez677]

Fucking legends!!

[@LegendarySnipez7000]

2018 anyone?

[@thezztop666]

fucking yeah!!! \m/

[@mistertimewaster]

YEEEEEES! Good job fuckers.

[@allisonhoule9584]

well this is the most satanic thing I I ever heard -- at least they are telling you the truth..-

[@METALRAY31]

I'm ready mosh 😈 🤘🤘🤘

[@neilololol]

sick song, but I can't be the only one that thinks the chorus is crying out for some blast beat action??

[@slickone777]

one of the hardest songs from Killswitch love this shit

[@bluunttrauma3762]

This shit is heavier than yo momma

[@hartrods]

KSE asabsolutely has some of the best lyrical content in modern metal. Appreciate your guys work and art!

[@kellyho3076]

Love it! Probably my favorite at this point. Still not sure if I like the whole album better than the last but it's still a great effort. I just don't think the lyrics are as strong and well put together as the last album.

[@robertojuhnior4211]

A MELHOR DO ALBUM !!!!!!! THIS IS KILLSWITCH ENGAGE !!!!!!

[@lchisholm5957]

1. As daylight dies 2. Absolution 3. The Great Deceit...to me my favorite songs.

[@evangelossoftsis5785]

0:56 Holy shit!!! In Flames coming out of Killswitch Engage!!

[@Haydrn]

KSE have been doing choruses like since they started, if anything In Flames has been jacking some of KSE and other metalcore bands' sound since they moved away from their original sound

[@manuelpinzon1607]

oh shit :D obra maestra todo el álbum

[@dantheman6888]

Adam and Joel are Amazing at making riffs!

[@LegendarySnipez7000]

2016 and 2018 were both great years for metal music

[@Dankx187]

Perfection at its finest!

[@alienslovepeanuts]

this song fucked my ears so good :), lyrics are Soooooo true and meaningful.. this vocalist is starting to win me over, very well done..

[@jarontaliman1]

alienslovepeanuts you should listen to the previous kse album disarm the descent

[@d33.n.11]

ultimate

[@johncase6227]

The beginning has a heavy As Daylight Dies feel

[@andrewchristiano7393]

This song is foreshadowing. AD is a Doomsayer. It's no longer a debate. I believe, he is a an oracle. Prove me wrong...

[@harlandcamley3996]

Killswitch Engage, getting a taste of 2016 in a great way.

[@TheAlbinoskunk]

Oh man, I thought for the first minute or so that this was a conspiracy song about "Big Pharma", but then realised it was about racism. Phew. also, awesome!!

[@mutekrabby5039]

+TheAlbinoskunk I mean, there's one line about racism - but this song is not about (just) racism.

[@AshleyLunaDavis]

+MuteKrabby It is almost exclusively about racism. From start to finish. It's directly referencing the Black Lives Matter movement and the murder of Eric Garner.

[@mutekrabby5039]

I see a more general message too towards the way the world is headed. It's all subjective, anyway. Jesse has said himself his lyrics are intentionally ambiguous so you can draw your own conclusion.

[@AshleyLunaDavis]

MuteKrabby I mean that's fine and all but this song is an anti-racist anthem specifically referencing BLM activism and the Eric Garner murder.

[@mutekrabby5039]

Songs can have multiple meanings, multiple messages. I'm not disputing what you say; just giving my interpretation.

[@augustofromanarcho-capital2673]

ALBO W TEJ CHWILI WPROWADZACIE WOLNY RYNEK SZCZEPIONEK ALBO SIĘ NIE SZCZEPIĘ

[@dragonrojo415]

brutality song 🎶🎶🎶

[@nossansimion3923]

fuck that guitar doe...

[@jazi150]

That chorus! That FUCKING CHORUS!!!

[@augustofromanarcho-capital2673]

Rynek szczepionek wolny od przemocy ★★ tu i teraz

[@camerongregory2855]

Song is about politicians in Australia managing COVID

[@neo42642]

No about politicians in Korea managing COVID

[@SoFaK1NgBeAsT]

Favorite song. At the moment

[@doctornosense]

this shit is so great!

[@yurencatano1050]

que chingon álbum sacaron la neta

[@panelo051]

7 years waiting to see them in Greece.. I can't understand why the never come. they have a lot of crazy fans waiting for them.. They will never come... I hope they are not racists with us. I will wait one more year, only one

[@sdny7111]

I am sure they are not racist. They don't book thier own shows. The songs are all against racism & respecting each other. They are going to Europe talk to some promoters & clubs. Do alot of bands come to Greece. I know many bands heard about Belgium, Germany Japan & South America being great for Heavy bands. Any Metal fests to get them on. It's not that hard to book show's. If you have a venue.

[@RiverBelow93]

There's something poignant about these lyrics in May/June 2020 following the murder of George Floyd, the protests that ensued and the hypocritical escalation from the Toddler-in-chief.

[@adviceondying]

my favorite on the album. but i gotta say i miss those pintch harmonics
