As you walk
The path of least resistance
Is it that simple
As you claim it to be
Cut out
Your tongue
Your eyes
Your lies
They do deceive you
Your tongue
Your eyes
Your lies
They do deceive you

I stand firm in my solidarity
The path I walk (the path I walk)
I walk in with my own resolve
When darkness falls (when darkness falls)
We are reborn
A dream since the fall of man
We are reborn

But the lives
Are not yet depleted
We are the whole
Save us of all
With not just words
Let resolution be our voice

I stand firm in my solidarity
The path I walk (the path I walk)
I walk in with my own resolve
When darkness falls (when darkness falls)
We are reborn
A dream since the fall of man
We are reborn

We are the remnant
We the remnant will save us of all
We are the faithful
We the faithful will save us of all
Save us of all

When darkness falls (when darkness falls)
We are reborn
A dream since the fall of man
We are reborn
When darkness falls (when darkness falls)
We are reborn
A dream since the fall of man
We are reborn

    Killswitch Engage dominate! When this song comes on in a club, I go ape shit, lol.

    This song (to me) is about the redemption of mankind. The fall of man is about mans fall from grace and in the bible (can't remember where) it says about if your eye causes you to sin (I guess by looking at something bad), cut it out, cause its better to get to heaven with one eye than to keep both eyes and go to hell, thats where I think the "cut out your tongue your eyes your lies they do decieve you" part is from.

    A few of theses lyrics are incorrect here:

    The second verse is actually "My beliefs are not antiquated, we are the whole, Silence them all with not just words, let resolution be our voice"

    The verse begining "We are the remnants...", is actually:

    "we are the remnants we the remnants will silence them all we are the faithful we the faithful will silence them all Silence them all"

    I think this song is about how the fall of man may have been 'bad' but mankind has eventually become stronger for it- "When darkness falls we are reborn", and that now we, as people can "Stand firm in our solidarity" without that b*****d Big Brother God looking over our shoulder.

    Howard SUCKS! Bring back Jesse, how can they think this chump can replace Jesse? Now KsE sounds like a nu-metal band. They will never touch Alive or Just Breathing. I'm sure all you Linkin Park fans go ape shit when you hear this in a club...dorks!

    Ok, this song actually has to do, well, the title, when Howard fell down the stairs. For those of you who dont know who Howard is, he is the replacement singer for Jesse. Howard is a rather large black man from Blood Has Been Shed. They call him Darkness. Ive heard the story a million times from those who know him and are related. (They are local's)

    And to SOAD_Fan_Uk....the new KillSwitch is amazing. Blood Has Been Shed, Howards other band, amazing as well. You like System of a Down...and your gonna talk shit? Eat it.

    It's pretty obvious that The Road is lacking a brain. If he actually would've read the lyrics to "Rose Of Sharyn" it would contradict his stupid theory.

    pay no attention to SOAD Fan. he criticizes kse for sounding like nu-metal (total bullshit. they always have been and still are metalcore), but he pays no attention to shitty system of a down? read his other comments. he's totally ignorant (find his anti-semetic post). what a stupid fuck. if you're going to be a musical elitist, make sure the music you listen to isn't total shit. keep crankin' your mallcore, dick.

    about the song. it's good. not great. i don't really like the chorus, but the 'we are the remnants' part really shines.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
