Numbered Days Lyrics

The Time Approaches
Fall!
Chanting inspiration for the righteous
Dislocation from the social order
Kingdoms will rise to power
But kingdoms fall to dust
To ashes of the dead
Will be a sign
The time approaches
ARMS RAISED
EYES GAZED
TONGUES OF FIRE WHISPER
THIS LIFE
WILL SOON
SLIP AWAY!
Babylon you will fall
Your days are numbered
Who will hear your cries as you fall

Interview w/Jesse Leach: "Numbered Days" is about the system of Babylon, and how the time will be coming soon for them to tumble and fall. I really believe the time is approaching swiftly."

this is the best song on Alive or Just Breathing in my opinion. this is probably one of my fav bands, although they sound very similar to in flames, which is not a bad thing.

"kingdoms rise to power, but kingdoms fall to dust", I love that, its like, no matter how smart we think we are, we can't last forever, so change before its too late.

This is my fave KsE song. I just discovered this band, I got their album Alive or Just Breathing. It is a masterpiece. Its a shame Jesse left the band though as he's one of the best singers I've ever heard.

I like Supervixen's quote.... My uncle had shown me this prophecy in Jeremiah 51 about Babylon's fall.. and then I heard this song and that was the first thing that came to my mind. I don't know if that was what Jesse was refering to. If you get a chance, check it out, its pretty interesting...

i dont care what that quote says. most killswitch songs arent supposed to be taken literal. its so clear, through the meanings of all of their other songs, that this is their ultimate goal, what they think should happen in this world. they believe that today's society, most likely the united states. should and will fall, like babylon. babylon was just an example. just look at all of their other songs. i mean c'mon.
