A New Beginning
The Devil You Know Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tonight we fight
Until the bloody end
Until the enemy submits
This life we live
To feed our war machine
The souls of a nation burning down

Failure is never an option
As long as we stand
As long as we've got something left to fight for
And we won't stop until there's no more opposition
Something left to fight for
And we won't stop until there's no more, no more

This cause is just
We no hold the key
To a new beginning
Make your mark
The oppression that we face
Is what we fight to be erased

Failure is never an option
As long as we stand
As long as we've got something left to fight for
And we won't stop until there's no more opposition
Something left to fight for
And we won't stop until there's no more, no more

Something left to fight for
And we won't stop until there's no more opposition
Something left to fight for
And we won't stop until there's no more opposition
Something left to fight for
Something left to fight for




Something left to fight for
And we won't stop until there's no more opposition

I was missin Howard Jones, I was sad when I thought I would never here him sing again after he left Killswitch, no homo, but I'm so happy now that I can here him again. I missed yuh Jones, keep it up, you're a beast.

@safitnessconcierge8966

Great job Howard!! Do your thing and drive forward making great music.

@traduccionesmetalcod380

Siempre he pensando que de tantos años que Howard lleva haciendo screams, no se le ha gastado la voz en ese sentido, pero siendo sincero, es algo admirable para la edad que ya tiene y sigue el como en sus mejores años (☞゚∀゚)☞

@kevinhernandez2594

That guitar always sends chills up my spine. I love it!

@HeavyMetalMonkey

By far my favorite song off the album.

@sfmikica

one of the best songs on the album

@nrjelley

I love the lyrics!

@SkyReach22

Jesus fucking christ I love this shit. Finally something new and fresh from the metalcore genre. I'm in fucking love. I've always said this genre has so much potential, but so many bands these days are all putting out the same breakdown focused, overused bullshit. I'm so happy there's something new out there. I am so happy about this band, and Howard. Fuck, I've never even listened to the bands the other members were in, but good for them too. Major props to all these guys for breaking the mold.
