Reviews for This Is Absolution Lyrics

i wouldn't say they're a christian band, but there may be some christian bases on their songs. if you want a real christian metal band, as i lay dying is the way to go. but when it comes to kse, i just say they're metal. howard is such a badass

This song does seem to have elements of religion. but just becaus of that, it dosent make it chriostian
I belive in God, though i utterly despise of religion as it is a man made thing that causes war and conflict in Gods name
"Anchor yourself to the foundation of everything you are
Believe you have just begun to live."
This is not just a statment of religion, it purely means that do not change who you are.

um i know jesse was a 'full-on christian' and seeing as everyone in america is a christian, or at least in the time before their impending death, howard might also be a christian, but not a hardcore christian? (therefore the christian lyrics)

and also, is howard the only one who writes lyrics? adam seems to 50% of killswitch by himself, and he's a christian, so he might also write lyrics.

Just because the lyrics are related to an afterlife, doesn't necessarily mean there christian. I (for example) believe in god and an afterlife but I despise organized religion. I feel from these lyrics that they have been there though. They helped me get over my panic attacks, and in times of suffering, listening to this makes me remember who I am, and that it's nothing I can't overcome.

I immidiately fell head over heels for killswitch engage!!!!!!! I love the singers vibrato hahah I know.. I'm a nerd LOL jk but omgg this has to be one of the greatest songs of all time! I live in a Christian family and now that I know they are a Christian based band, I have an excuse for listening to this kind of music so my mom doesn't flip out! But uhhhhh-maziiing!!!!!!!!!

I agree that there are TONS of Christian based lyrics from KsE, do i think Howard is "continuing" an image of KsE NO! He has come into the band not trying to live up to Jesse's standards or try to fill his shoes. Howard brought his own sound and talent to the band that has in my opinion helped the band, He has a more mature voice and knows how to "control" his voice better. Don't get me wrong Jesse was amazing, i just feel that Howard is a step up and gave KsE a much needed lift.

The lyrics are very much rooted in christian ideals as Jesse Leach (original lead singer) is a devout christian.. check out some of their earlier songs for more hints towards the religious themes. I think they had to carry on in this direction to maintain the identity of KSE. For me, the Jesse Leach era represented the best of KSE... Check out numbered days and vide infra for some amazing, early killswitch stuff..

K.e.S is amazing, there lyrics are artistic and prove a point. And I agree that it IS refreshing to finnally find a metal band that isn't so dark and depressing, I mean metal is about all i listen to but when it comes down to it... Killswitch engage are inspirational there songs make me want to jump for joy

I cant see any1 hating this song... went to a concert of thiers in Cleveland, Ohio.... wen they began this song... every1 screamed so load it felt like the building was shaking... and howards voice made my GF break into tears... i never felt like that at a concert... if u havnt been to a KSE concert... then u havnt been to a concert at all... they throw it DOWN!!!!!

it's my favourite song by KsE.. i'll see them at wacken this summer x]
and by the way.. it's not heavy metal or hard rock it's fuckin metalcore.. damn.. ^^
heavy metal.. listen to alice cooper and then listen to KsE and you'll hear the difference^^

Keep listening to this song over and over again...

The lyrics are so uplifting - If I'm in a bad mood, I might listen to the words and it gets me up again.

It's so refreshing to find a heavy metal band that isn't focused on negativity. The lyrics are almost Christian in nature, they're so positive, about standing up against the world and ending the strife of those around you and your own. Very powerful.

Awsome! the opening to this song is amazing, and i think that the contrast between the singing and shouting during some of the lyrics creates a mixture of emotions. This song rocks!

this song is great in the chorus. I just started listing to these guys and fell in love with them. Great hard rock album (As daylight dies). cant wait for more....

It's the chorus that does it, there is so much energy in it you just wana get up and mosh!!
