"The Fall" chronicles the fall of the world and ourselves on the day the world ends. The tragic opening coupled with classic guitar riffs, and a searing dueling solo perfectly captivates the emotion around our triumphs, our failures, and ultimately, our end.
lyrics
The end is coming,
The silence breeds the fall,
Our time has been wasted
Spent it all, it all
Penance waiting,
Ten thousand years we’ve toiled,
Been breaking the backs of others weighted,
Subjugated,
Down babe, come sleep,
The void is calling,
It all waits for me,
Just struggle softly
Indemnifying,
Our debt belies dreams
Our forest for the trees
We covet blindly
With all the writings on the wall,
You’d think we’d wake ourselves up,
But all this evil still persists,
When good people fail to stand up,
And innocence just turns to apathy,
Our pandering becomes a crutch
Or pretense in spite of faculty,
We choose, and always choose wrong
I tried,
To reconcile everything,
In the end I’m left with nothing,
Why, try,
Lost in our own reveries,
While the world is slowly burning,
No hope is left to find
I wish things hadn’t turned out this way,
I wish we didn’t have to bear this terrible fate,
We have to decide what to do with the time we have,
But how do we decide when it all keeps happening again
And nothing we can do will stop it
That change will happen in time,
Our hope we cling to will try,
But in the end it’s all a lie,
Just take a breath and close your eyes
Gone, with all the wicked,
Our cries to God,
Unholy vengeance, judgement passed,
The final verdicts fall,
Our prayers were answered,
The flood begins,
We pay the piper, played our part,
And now we lay our sins,
With all the time we had to spend,
We still refuse to pay the price,
Ten thousand years and we’re still beating,
Still deceiving lives,
It’s still a sickness in our heads,
Exacerbated by the lies,
We tell ourselves it’s all okay,
If it’s just out of sight
I tried,
To reconcile everything,
In the end I’m left with nothing,
Why, try,
Lost in our own reveries,
While the world is slowly burning
