To the Sons of Man Lyrics
You son of man I am here as a witness
You son of man can't you see what burns inside me
This fire will consume as the flames purify
With the peace that passes understanding
This is my outcry
From dust to dust we will return
The flesh is temporary
The soul is eternal
I am here as a witness
Can't you see this fire purifies?
This fire will consume as the flames purify
Son of man can't you see
Son of man you can't save yourself
You son of man can't you see what burns inside me
This fire will consume as the flames purify
With the peace that passes understanding
This is my outcry
From dust to dust we will return
The flesh is temporary
The soul is eternal
I am here as a witness
Can't you see this fire purifies?
This fire will consume as the flames purify
Son of man can't you see
Son of man you can't save yourself

Jesse Leach: "To the Son of Man" is a direct song to the people, and really the lyrics speak for themselves."
I love the spiritual aspect of Killswitch Engage's lyrics.
I just love the way this song kicks in instantly, it sends you deaf, its so heavy. Awesome.
this song kicks ass.
is it just me, or does it seem that a lot of killswitch has some quasi spiritual lyrics ? almost christian (i was one once)
yes, jesse leach is a very strong christian, and his music is influenced by that.
I love Killswitch. I think its a shame how they changed so much and are all about being radio friendly now. There amazeing and this whole CD has alot or value to me. I still listen to it all the time. This is probubly my faveoret song on it.
Just because they have a different singer doesn't mean they have changed "so much." Also, i don't understand why you think they have become "radio friendly." Maybe you have only listened to the title track and forgot about the rest of the songs on TEOH. Sure, it's not as good as AOJB but I don't think AOJB can be topped. Just because Howard's voice is cleaner than Jesse's it doesn't mean they are "radio friendly" as you put it. Killswitch still owns all.
kse is a excellent band even if they're cristians :)
AWWW my god this song fuckin owns........ fav killswitch song ever.... love the riffs.....and the singing......and the druming.......not to forget the bass.........
