When Darkness Falls Lyrics

as you walk
the path of least resistance
is it that simple
as you claim it to be

cut out
your tounge
your eyes
your lies
they do decieve you
your tounge
your eyes
your lies
they do decieve 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 remnants
we the remnants 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 fo 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!

LOL, yeah I do agree Jesse does sound better. But its still a great song. Pssh, Linkin Park? KsE shits on Linkin Park.

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.

wut the fuck have you been smoking SOAD FAN? damn...new metal??? wut??? i don't think you even kno the term. anyways, howard is awesome, and so is jesse, so as for you, jam your foot in your own ass. for two...wut gives you (a system of a down fan...haha, sorry gotta laugh after their last album, refering to steal this album. toxicity was awesome, S.T.A. was bad...not to offend anyone, it was just not my taste whatsoever) the right to attack KsE? i sure as hell didn't vote for it, but whatever, everyone has their own oppinion i guess.

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.

Cover art for When Darkness Falls lyrics by Killswitch Engage

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.

Cover art for When Darkness Falls lyrics by Killswitch Engage

it is great! its all great!! but yea, if i had to pick the worst bit it would be the chorus
