lyrics

Our charge is abandoned, wasted
The ashes are raining from the sky
There is no forgiveness for what we've done

The task that was laid upon us
We relinquished without a second thought
and now we must face what we have wrought

Destruction and ruin, it caused us to fall
We destroyed what we had to live for
Redemption and peace are lost to us now
We shattered the dream and broke our word

Wasting time, trusting others to do what was right
Running blind into chaos
and we end up falling!

Taking pride in our own greed
Wanting more, letting everything crumble to dust,
now the world is dying!

What if we had heard the warnings that were given in the beginning?
What if we had stopped, remembered everything that we had promised?

Did we wake too late to heed the call that brought us to our senses?
Could we have been saved, reversed the damage that we have inflicted?

Our world lies in ruins, shattered
And we are the only ones to blame
It is our pain, our grief, our shame

Destruction and ruin, it caused us to fall
We destroyed what we had to live for
Redemption and peace are lost to us now
We shattered the dream and broke our words

The Uncertain Hour

As I’ve matured I have learned to appreciate power metal. The sheer symphonic showmanship of the tracks I heard is totally off the charts. WaitingfortheTurningPoint

The Fall Of Salanthine
by Eternal Dream

supported by 4 fans who also own “The Downfall of Humanity: The Downfall”

Spanish Symphonic Power Metal Band Eternal Dream falls into the Operatic Female Vocals category that a lot of Euro bands employ. The music however is propelled by strong power chords and virtuoso guitar soloing not unlike Rhapsody (of Fire) & Stratovarius and similar bands of their ilk employ. Ana Moronta's vocals don't overpower the songs like so many "operatic" singers try to do in similar bands. Imagine "Phantom of the Opera" Chanteuse - Sarah Brightman fronting a power metal band.

Pareidolia (deluxe edition)
by Demon Lung

Big, lurching stoner doom from Demon Lung, “Pareidolia” is a potent collision of 400-ton riffs and searing vocals. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 10, 2018

The Sign of Faith
by IGNEA

supported by 4 fans who also own “The Downfall of Humanity: The Downfall”

A very, VERY powerful album, somewhere between symphonic/melodic/oriental rock and death metal like vocals and riffs. Incredible how many different elements are interwoven into a perfectly intriguing and highly energetic song mix! Martin R
