Break The Silence
Killswitch Engage · As Daylight Dies [2006]
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
