Seek me, call me, I'll be waiting Seek me, call me, I'll be waiting
Yeah
This distance, this dissolution I cling to memories while falling Sleep brings release, and the hope of a new day Waking the misery of being without you
Surrender, I give in Another moment is another eternity
(Seek me) For comfort (Call me) For solace (I'll be waiting) For the end of my broken heart (Seek me) Completion (Call me) I'll be waiting (I'll be waiting) For the end of my broken heart
You know me, you know me all too well (You know me all to well) My only desire, to bridge our division
In sorrow, I speak your name and my voice mirrors Mirrors my torment
(Seek me) For comfort (Call me) For solace (I'll be waiting) For the end of my broken heart (Seek me) Completion (Call me) I'll be waiting (I'll be waiting) For the end of my broken heart
Am I breathing? My strength fails me Your picture, a bitter memory, yeah
For comfort, for solace
(Seek me) For comfort (Call me) For solace (I'll be waiting) For the end of my broken heart
Numb and broken, Here I stand alone, Wondering what were The last words I said to you Hoping, praying that I'll find a way To turn back time, Can I turn back time?
What would I give to behold. The smile the face of love, You never left me, The rising sun Will always speak your name.
Numb and broken, Here I stand alone, Wondering what were The last words I said to you It won't be long We'll meet again...
Rock What would I give (What would I give), to behold The smile, the face of love? You never left me (You Never Left Me) The rising sun Will always speak your name
It won't be long, we'll meet again Your memory is never passing It won't be long, we'll meet again My love for you is everlasting.
I mourn for those who never knew you I mourn (I mourn) for those (for those) who never knew you (who never knew you)
It won't be long, we'll meet again Your memory is never passing It won't be long, we'll meet again My love for you is everlasting.
It won't be long, we'll meet again.. It won't be long, we'll meet again.. It won't be long, we'll meet again.. It won't be long, we'll meet again..
We will not die this way, in unification They cannot break these chains of faith Let them do their worst (let them do their worst) Never slaves to iniquity
We will not die this way (this is absolution) Death claims us no more (no more) Do not grieve, end the suffering We will live, live eternal
Will you take the stand among the dead? Bury your fear, and hold fast to life
We will not die this way (this is absolution) Death claims us no more (no more) Do not grieve, end the suffering We will live, live eternal
Anchor yourself to the foundation of everything you love Believe you have just begun to live
Don't let the world deceive you Don't let their words betray you Don't let their lies deceive you Let them do their worst
We will not die this way (this is absolution) Death claims us no more (no more) Do not grieve, end the suffering We will live, live eternal
Go! Forever falling, Into oblivion The darkness crawls forward It engulfs, my will to live Fear is failure And this is my motivation
Take back what was stolen Reclaim all that's lost With virtue, I will rise up from the ruins
C'mon! Through adversity, there is redemption With passion, fighting I am unbroken Through adversity, there is redemption With passion, fighting I am, unbroken!!
Take back what was stolen Embrace the cycle Refuse to turn back now and be led astray Fear is failure And this is my affirmation
Through adversity, there is redemption With passion, fighting I am unbroken Through adversity, there is redemption With passion, fighting Unbroken!!
The absence of fear, is the renewal of self The absence of doubt, breeds desire If there is truth to face I will design it I will not be denied!
Who knows how long, I've been lost in the dark Followed closely by the footsteps of my failures What can I do, to alter my perception, of the way and the truth?
Let this burden drift away
Who knows how long, the void has swallowed me I only wish for nothing more than peace to find me How can this be? We've come so far to let the weight destroy our grand design
Let this burden drift away My pledge remains faithful to you
And my heart still beats your name
Drowning once again Will I live another day To reach the surface Let this burden drift away
Drowning once again Will I live another day To reach the surface Let this burden drift away
Drowning, Choking, Fading, LIFE!!
Is this the moment where I leave the blackness Is this the moment of my rebirth?!
Who knows how long, I've been lost in the dark Followed closely by the footsteps of my failures What can I do, to alter my perception, of the way and the truth?
Drowning once again Will I live another day To reach the surface Let this burden drift away
Drowning again Reach the surface Let it drift away
As I live and breathe I'm watching, watching the world die We greet this with apathy no longer
Consumed by self We walk through each day With no mind to deprivation and moral decay
We must destroy and rebuild We must destroy and rebuild For the sake of all, it starts with one With one
As I live and breathe I'm watching, watching the world die We greet this with apathy no longer
If we cant break the silence (how can we survive?) Search inside yourself (announce your life) We must break the silence Now we are alive Silent no longer
Make this world, take notice The change is in our hands The battle has just begun We are not defeated
If we cant break the silence (how can we survive?) Search inside yourself (announce your life) We must break the silence Now we are alive Silent no longer
With all that I am I will lift my voice To start this revolution It starts today And it starts with me Time is no longer
With all I am I will lift my voice With all I am It starts with me
Break the silence [3X] We are alive Break the silence [3X] We are alive
Time and time again I stand at the crossroad. Where the weight of my burden eclipses my resolve. This broken path I've chosen. I walk it alone. Though I feel forgotten. You've carved my name in stone.
In these desperate times. This I plead. When all else fails remember me. (Clock!)
This is daily crucifixion and these rusty nails leave scars. My jagged crown is at my side. Anguish is never far.
In these desperate times. This I plead. When all else fails remember me.
This is a blood-oath. They are nothing to me anymore. But your voice means more to me than you'll ever know.
There's no question, you're the answer. I will find you.
In these desperate times. This I plead, x2 When all else fails remember me. x2
Their cries are blown away with the wind. How passive can we be before humanity is lost? Turning our backs on those who need love. We must not rest while healing is needed.
Tear down the veil. That bars your heart from feeling this. Dedicate yourself. Give your soul to compassion. With open arms, embrace this heart. With open eyes, behold the truth. Embrace this life.
So little time is left. We must be relentless in our pursuit of those in torment. Tear down the veil That bars your heart from feeling this. Dedicate yourself. Become the voice of compassion. With open arms, embrace this heart. With open eyes, behold the truth. Embrace this life.
Can you reject yourself? Can you feel their agony? In a world that feeds on disregard. Heal the broken hearted.
My curse - Killswitch Engage My curse는 리듬게임 Guitar Hero 3에 수록된 곡 중 하나인데 Killswitch Engage라는 밴들를 잘 모름에도 굳이 소개하려는 이유는 곡이 독특하기 때문이다. 뮤직비디오 링크 : http://kr.youtube.com/watch?v=iPW9AbRMwFU 곡을 들으면 잔잔한 기타 멜로디로 시작하는구나. 이제 디스토션 기타가 들어가면서 락적이게 되네. 잘 나아가던 리프가 갑자기 변.....
