about

Downfall is about bringing down a tyrannical ruler who solely serves himself and his desires. When children die at the hands of the tyrant and there is nothing left but injustice, there is only one resort at hand. Violence. It explores the perspective of a revolution stopping at nothing until the power is dethroned and the people regain their rights. No matter the size of the government or the casualties required.

lyrics

Tear down their walls, constrict them of their rule
A growing chasm, enslaving all
Killing our kin, lacking sense of guilt
A dawning pain, the faint of heart shall fall

We’re the ones who bring the silence
We’re the ones who bring the violence
We’re the ones who bring the silence
We’re the ones who bring the violence

The Higher they Build
The further it falls
The Higher they Build
The further it falls

Witness the cycle, watch it come undone
Blood clogs the water, chaos has begun
Depict your heresy, an absolution for your pleas
Holy man eyes to the ground
Hold your breath and drop your head down

We’re the ones who bring the silence
We’re the ones who bring the violence
We’re the ones who bring the silence
We’re the ones who bring the violence

The Higher they Build
The further it falls
The Higher they Build
The further it falls

The fire engulfs
All those who are weak
In a world dominated by madmen
They'll bend and break

Silence!
Save us!
Violence!
Cures us!

Inbred mentality prays on the poor
Their hunger will echo with downfall
Our lack of submission has violent ends
Their distorted corpses now paints the shores

Sea of shattered bones
Filled with blood and stones
Burn all that they own
Until only dust is left to bestow

The Higher they Build
The further it falls!
The Higher they Build
The further it falls!
