    LYRICS
    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 this stance among the dead?
    Bury your fear and hold fast to life, come on
    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 are
    Believe, you have just begun to live, 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

    Howard Jones was my favorite metal singer period. His highs, his lows and clean was perfect. Not too much, not too little, a perfect blend. I will miss him in KSE. Thank you Howard for bringing the heavy.

  • @HerodTheGreatBloodyMaster

    My kinda gospel. I have all the Killswitch Engage albums with Howard Jone's vocals. Face melted.
    "Anchor yourself to the foundation of everything you love
    Believe you have just become to live
    Don't let the world deceive you
    Don't let their words betray you
    Don't let their lies deceive you
    Lead them to their graves
    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"

      I prefer Jesse tbh. The original KSE is what got me into the band, and honestly, the show was incredible live. Jesse really knows how to get the melodies right. He definitely does Howard's vocals justice.

      One of my favorite performances ever was these guys sidelining the DIsturbed "Music as a Weapon 4" tour. Saw them in Minneapolis after a day of acts (Suicide Silence, Bury Your Dead, etc) all on the First Avenue street. Oliver Peck was giving tattoos, vendors set up. It was glorious. The only time I got to see Howard with KsE. Next time I saw them he backed out of the band and Phil from All That Remains had to fill in. I miss the mid 2000s as well.

    I remember a few years after Howard joined the band on the back of Jesse leaving, Everybody was crying for Jesse to come back and saying, "fans of Howard aren't true KSE fans." The front man is important, but he isn't the beginning and end all of a band and both Howard and Jesse are good.
