lyrics

They had no one but themselves
To get them through the dark:
The fury of a fire burning
Deep within their hearts.
Move forward, never looking back.
What they see is what they want to see
Until they watch their world fade to black.

Abandon ship. Make your escape.
A little hope can go an awful long way.

If they were nervous or afraid
you’d never, ever know.
Every face with bloodied lips,
eyes made of stone.

Always truer to themselves than to anyone,
Or anything else.
But they know there’s something else.

The battle’s begun.
It still rages on. This will never end.
Yet somehow I know I will conquer them.

They were savage, they were armed
With swords born in flame.
The souls they reached were empty, hollow.
Lives consumed by pain.
I never thought they’d make it here.
But I can feel the footsteps, the breath on my neck.
I’m burning alive. I’m burnt alive by fear.

Abandon ship. Make your escape.
A little hope can go an awful long way.

Am I everything I wanted to be?
An empty shell, a mask of vanity.
There’s so much more than what the eyes can see,
Much more than what we’d want to believe.

But I believe in so much more.

The battle’s begun.
It still rages on. This will never end.
Yet somehow I know I will conquer them.

Amazing songs,KSE lyrics helps me a lot,i lost my father recently(2020). The time where i was really close with him was in summer 2007 and i listened a lot to ADD Album at the time. So hearing KSE always reminds me of him,r.i.p. Jesse leach is an amazing vocalist and lyricist,howard too. love 'em both. Adam is a genius period. Mike's an amazing drawer/artist and bass player.

This one really hit me because the lyrics are very relevant to my life right now and I was like, about to nap while listening to this for the first time but then I really listened to it and was like "whoaa". Also I live in a place called Belmont so I was like "haha hey that's cool". Jayden
