lyrics

Now face to face with a demon I helped raise, it’s now your turn to be betrayed. I’ve seen the truth: the king you couldn’t kill and my throne, you failed to take. And now I know just who I am, in spite of lies, the better man. And now I’ve learned the art of war starts with knowing
just where you stand. Now hear you me: I will not give to pain or perjury. My fears are buried deep. And if you think that I would be your slave again, then you forgot who bears the shackled hands. And now I know, that your way with words doesn’t change the fact you only speak in lies. And now I know, the only tale a dead man tells, is one of self-demise. And now I know, just where we stand. No need for lines drawn in the sand.

What an interesting band, so sad I discovered them just now. Unique vocals full of dynamism and emotion, along with great guitars and musical compositions. The band is filtering a lot of different influences, under their own style. TONY ZAGORAIOS

Another killer set of tracks that serve up whispered melodies and huge screaming slabs of metal. Even better than Garden Window, and that's a tough bar to clear. thrownofan

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. Joel and justin are rythm legends,scott (old drummer i think)was a beast too. God bless you KSE cheers from France thejusticemetalsword
