Arch Enemy - Enemy Within Lyrics






Dark thoughts rise up
Deep in your mind
The killing of hope
The end has begun

The locked psycho-door breaks down
The beast breathes freedom and fire
Blows bloody thoughts into your mind
Demons whisper: "COMMIT SUICIDE!"

Weak is your body,
Helpless your soul,
The beast destroyed your will
Left nothing but an empty shell

Self-destruction leads its way
Your weapons turn against yourself
Cutting through, killing you
A downward spiral, the shadowbeast has won

The shadowbeast calls
A vulture of life
Your worst enemy dwells
From within

[1st Lead - Christopher]
[2nd Lead - Michael]

    I remember when Yahoo had user chat rooms and there was one for drummers and daniel used to come there all the time and play his kit. way before he ever joined arch enemy. Knew right then and there that kid was gonna go places.

    Angela the Best

  12. C.... H....

    I remember going to see them live in Seattle when this album came out and they opened with this song. Good times

  13. B.... ....

    THIS SONG IS MY FAVORITE

  14. G.... C....

    A hot metal chick singer whose name starts and ends with the letter A. Got replaced by a hot metal chick singer whose name starts and ends with the letter A. Illuminati confirmed

  15. A.... ....

    Sword training with this song isn't reccomended, but it is fun.

  16. N.... M....

    Awesomness!!!

  17. L.... G....

    that intro.. how can we forget?

    I wonder how many people didn't realize this is a chick

    S.... X....

    Let them think that SHES MINE

    S.... X....

    SerialKiller X I remember when the preview clips came out for this album, nobody guessed that it was a chick.

    S.... X....

  25. G.... H....

    First I didn't like the song so much, cool intro yes, but the rest... But after a few times listening I've liked it more and more and now it's one of my favoutites

  26. S.... ....

    The beat at the beginning is super fun to play on the drums.

  27. J.... C....

  28. A.... P....

    eisai ellinas

    Angela is still their manager. She actually picked Alissa to replace her.

    N.... ....

    Fr!?! 🤯🤯🤯🤯

    N.... ....

    I love Alissa but arch enemy doesn't sound the same without Angela

    N.... ....

    @Domes Lee I agree 100%. Nothing wrong with Alissa but shes just not Angela :)

  30. A.... S....

    Beautifully catastrophic. Heard this song in 9th grade and saw them play it live in Ventura opening for Slayer...shit was inexplicable

  31. q.... ....

    Anyone got the instrumental version of this?

    q.... ....

    *PM me* whoever has this also please. I promise to pay it forward.

  32. V.... L....

    I fuckin can never get enough of this! Arch Enemy isn't the same without Angela. Love this song, its fuckin sick!!

  33. A.... H....

    Does anybody else love the guitar intro but hate the rest of the song?

    A.... H....

    Alejandro Hernandez Fuck no! It is the GREATEST intro for a song, ever! But the whole song, and album, is SUPURB! And just all around fantastic! How can you like the intro, but dislike the song? The intro riff repeats throughout anyway. What is wrong with you?

    A.... H....

    The intro is piano...

  34. L.... M....

    their best album (for me)

  41. j.... ....

    how to ruin an amazing riff with the rest of a song

    j.... ....

    jooka24 What are you talking about? The intro riff repeats through the song. How can you say that?

    j.... ....

    the song is better than I remember it when I was younger

    j.... ....

    jooka24 Yea, see? It's good. The WHOLE package is just fantastically amazing!

    j.... ....

    he is right . intro was good rest is all fucked up .

  42. S.... A....

    this is actually my first time listening to Death Metal.
    It's so beautiful

    S.... A....

    Melodic death metal!

  43. D.... ....

    Is the intro from parasite eve ?

    D.... ....

    good thinking, but it is not

    D.... ....

    I love you for thinking that, damn right

  44. B.... R....

    my government is my arch enemy

  45. H.... ....

    I listened to this song in high school. It still gives me goosebumps after all of these years. One of my favorites!

    H.... ....

    I seen them live for this album so dope had a beer with the band after wicked people evem better music

    H.... ....

    8th grade middle school. Still love arch enemy. Yeah i'm 2 years late :D

    H.... ....

    Dat man ! FCKIN DAT !!

    H.... ....

    ifyouwantbochin um what Arch Enemy songs are remotely pop? They’ve not even got any rock songs, never mind pop. All of their songs (excluding intros and instrumentals) are all pure fucking metal. The closest they have to pop is Reason to Believe I guess (which was released after you made your comment) and it’s still metal because it’s Arch Enemy.

    H.... ....

    @camalam R you're a horrible mother- your mom

  46. �.... ....

    Best song from the Gossow era

  47. A.... R....

    Listen to the whole album while playing COD

    A.... R....

    AL ROY cod is shit except black ops . play msg phantom pain u dumb duck

    A.... R....

    My gawd so many gamer elitists.

  48. T.... P....

    kickass intro !!

    T.... P....

    It's Per Wiberg - ex-Opeth member :)

  49. B.... F....

    This song blows any head, is so fucking powerful...

  50. T.... ....

    I can relate to these lyrics when I feel heartbreak...

  51. T.... O....

    my fav song,

  52. M.... M....

    I love this crazy death metal intro is fucking awesome !!!!

    M.... M....

    the heaviest intro i have ever seen

    M.... M....

    Mark Metelko Yes, it's great. But most definitely NOT a death metal riff. This is melodic death metal. Two very different sub genres.

    M.... M....

    @Furkan Alphan
    Heaviest intro?

    Man Google dechristianize by vital remains

  53. r.... c....

    el mejor disco

  54. p.... ....

    Fucking killer intro!

    p.... ....

    eargasm :)

  55. M.... K....

    Fucking amazing

  56. M.... ....

    the fact that a song by kasha has 78 million views and this has less then 50,ooo really really really pisses me off

    M.... ....

    Us metal heads always say stuff like this. But in all reality, that's part of what makes metal so special to us.

    M.... ....

    its a good thing most people dont care about this band BECAUSE THEY SUCK SO BAD IT IS THE WORST METAL I HAVE EVER HEARD IN MY ENTIRE LIFE IT IS AS BAD AS POP MUSIC

    M.... ....

    you over react

    M.... ....

    It's o.k man, the majority of entertainment is for stupid people. :-)

    M.... ....

    \M/ fuqin worth jamiimhg

  64. B.... ....

    arch enemy is the quintessential melodic death metal band. their new stuff aint quite as brutal, but they got one of the best drummers, two of the best metal shredding guitarists and the most charismatic frontwoman in the entire world. Props to the band, seriously.

  65. g.... ....
