As your eyes start to bleed You realize it's too late And as your sky starts to fall You realize you're standing alone The time has come for this to bleed The opening of what you've always known is growing near All you've feared here, looks you in the eyes We all fall down, skies are falling tonight As you run and hide Ashes to ashes, dust to dust The wrath of your hate has returned The plague is reaping back Three-fold of what you've already sown All you've feared here, looks you in the eyes We all fall down, skies are falling tonight As you run and hide Ashes to ashes, dust to dust It is said, hail and fire mixed with blood Will be thrown down upon the earth Darkness fills a third of the lands And the angels cry woe A star from heaven is thrown from the sky Destroying a third of our seas Not only these things but more will come It is our fate, it is the end, apocalypse We die here tonight You die here tonight We all die here tonight Skies are falling tonight As you run and hide Ashes to ashes, dust to dust Ashes to ashes, we all fall down

    General Comment:Obviously it is about the end of the world. I think the song has deeper layers of meaning though e.g. the lines "we all fall down" is like saying, "look what kind of a world we've made so don't blame it on anyone in particular - we've all caused this to happen and now this is the consequence of what we've done."

    Amazing song! I think the word 'epic' applies to this song.

    General Comment:Of course its about the end of the world. I believe most of it is Biblically based. There are numerous references to the seven seals talked about in Revelation 8.

    Rev. 8:7 "The first sounded, and there came hail and fire, mixed with blood, and they were thrown to the earth"

    Rev. 8:10 "The third angel sounded, and a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch"

    Rev. 8:12 "The fourth angel sounded, and a third of the sun and a third of the moon and a third of the stars were struck, so that a third of them would be darkened and the day would not shine for a third of it, and the night in the same way. "

    Rev. 8:13 "And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth..."

    I love this song, Maria does such a good job showing her emotion in this song. I get the chills when she says "It is our fate, it is the end" and then screams "apocalypse"... Beautiful song

    General Comment:Damn this is one of my favorite songs off the album. I kinda think it's about the end of the world. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's what I get
