The Fall
The power ballad opens with moody synth pads and sparse piano, slowly introducing deep, resonant drums and a brooding bassline. Layers build with soaring electric guitars and dynamic strings, creating a powerful, rousing chorus. Progressive time shifts and textural contrasts add depth.

Lyrics
Verse
Born into this world behind a wall, sealed away from light,
You never knew a mother’s kiss nor a father’s hand to guide.
Enfolded in a brittle shell, to be devoured whole ...
Such is the world’s decree for you, O poor, forsaken soul.
Torn from the haven of the frail, left naked, cold, and bare,
You linger at the chasm’s edge, the abyss waiting there.
Pre-Chorus
Then comes a sudden shove ... your vessel starts to roll.
Brace yourself; the shadows watch ...
take care, you've lost control ...
Chorus
And you fall, ...
you’re falling deep,
from the cradle to the grave's cold sleep.
You longed for wings, for skies to claim ...
a dreamer’s plea, yet all in vain.
Your first kiss will be a ruthless blow;
you’ll meet the night,
before the dawn’s first light.
Verse
Child, heed my counsel: a bird you’ll never be.
Beware the heights ...
your shield will shatter; save yourself and flee ...
But too late ...
Bridge
The crushing hand of gravity now heedless drives your way;
Without wings you plunge to earth ... for this, the price you’ll pay.
Savor it ... your first and final flight, a moment’s fleeting grace;
Too soon it will be over, and sorrow takes its place.
Pre-Chorus
Now, the end you never sought draws near ... unyielding, far too fast.
The blow is close at hand;
your fate in stone is cast ...
Chorus
And you fall, ...
you’re falling deep,
from the cradle to the grave's cold sleep.
You longed for wings, for skies to claim ...
a dreamer’s plea, yet all in vain.
Your first kiss will be a ruthless blow;
you’ll meet the night,
before the dawn’s first light.
Interlude
Verse
Oooohooohoooooo
A voiceless scream ... thus ends your dream.
Your innermost now dwells outside; a dreadful scene my heart can’t bear.
O poor child, what bitter shame; it hurts to see you lying there.
All wishes wasted ...
all undone, shattered with your broken frame.
How can this world ... no, how can fate ...
be ever thus, so cruel,
so inhumane?
Build Up
An eagle now you’ll never be;
before life bloomed, you died in tragedy.
The sun will never light your eyes;
for you it shall not set nor rise.
So ends your tale, devoid of glory,
becoming but an untold story.
Pre-Chorus
No eye will ever weep for you ...
only hunger fiercely cries.
Please, forgive me, ...
I never wished for your demise ...
Grand-Finale
So you fell, ...
you’ve fallen deep,
from the cradle to the grave's cold sleep.
You longed for wings, for skies to claim ...
a dreamer’s plea, yet all in vain.
Your first kiss was a ruthless blow;
you’ve met the night,
before the dawn’s first light.
Outro
Ooohoooohoooooo
You’ve met the night, ...
before the dawn’s first light.
