Shadows Fall - Crushing Belial Lyrics






First strike of the creation
Shakes the earth at its very core
Pangea shattered, humanity is scattered
Separation for evermore
Eternal conflict, waged since the dawn of time
A delicate balance waits. This evil seems to be undermined
As the battle lines are drawn, and the kingdoms choosing sides
Concealed from his light. Abandon all that unifies.
Been fooled so long by the lies of this unholy adversary
Flee the lies
The Godhead has been split, exiled by mankind
Although we're out of reach, His message transcending time
As the battle lines are drawn, and the kingdoms choosing sides
Concealed from his light. Abandon all that unifies.
Been fooled so long by the lies of this unholy adversary
how can we free this world, it soon will melt away
As we await the wrath of a God Betrayed
how can we save this world, it soon will melt away
As we await the wrath of a God Betrayed
Rise stand take over, we are crushing Belial
Rise stand take over, we are crushing Belial
Alone I am feeling caught within it's wind
When I noticed all hope is lost and blwon away
Never knowing what may come
never showing what's been done
Realized potential so long in denial
Cast off this shadow, escaping Belial
Redemption of the forgotten
Redemption of the forgotten
how can we free this world, it soon will melt away
As we await the wrath of a God Betrayed
how can we save this world, it soon will melt away
As we await the wrath of a God Betrayed
Rise stand take over, we are crushing Belial
Rise stand take over, we are crushing Belial

  1. O.... Z....

    I was 17 turning 18 when this came out. My best friend bought this album. Brings back a lot of memories. Major influence in our guitar playing.

    very underrated metal band. too bad they broke up. I wish they would've stayed longer playing

    This song never gets old. I'm not even into music like this anymore, but I still can't get enough of this song.

  8. I.... H....

    This song was super influential for me. Listening to it now, even remastered, it sounds like it was recorded through an empty tuna can.

  15. m.... l....

    First strike of the creation
    Shakes the earth at its very core
    Pangea shattered, humanity is scattered
    Separation for evermore

    Eternal conflict, waged since the dawn of time
    A delicate balance waits this evil seems to be undermined
    As the battle lines are drawn and the kingdoms choosing sides
    Concealed from his light abandon all that unifies

    Been fooled so long by the lies of this unholy adversary
    Flee the lies, the godhead has been split, exiled by mankind
    Although we're out of reach
    His message transcending time

    As the battle lines are drawn
    And the kingdoms choosing sides
    Concealed from his light abandon all that unifies
    Been fooled so long by the lies of this unholy adversary

    How can we free this world, it soon will melt away
    As we await the wrath of a God betrayed
    How can we free this world, it soon will melt away
    As we await the wrath of a God betrayed

    Rise stand take over, we are crushing Belial
    Rise stand take over, we are crushing Belial

    Alone I am feeling caught within it's wind
    When I noticed all hope is lost and blown away
    Never knowing what may come
    Never showing what's been done

    Realized potential so long in denial
    Cast off this shadow, escaping Belial
    Redemption of the forgotten
    Redemption of the forgotten

    How can we free this world, it soon will melt away
    As we await the wrath of a God betrayed
    How can we free this world, it soon will melt away
    As we await the wrath of a God betrayed

    Rise stand take over, we are crushing Belial
    Rise stand take over, we are crushing Belial

  16. A.... H....

    Became what they hated. Sellout shit rock, that pandered to their record label because they wanted to be Killswitch Engage. Great album though.

  17. H.... M....

    3:55 _/,,/

  18. A.... D....

    I like the other version better to be honest.

  19. M.... 2....

    Holy fuck the remastered version is so good

  20. k.... ....

    that fucking guitar tone though

    k.... ....

    kez850 fuck yeah ibanez 4 Life

  21. S.... J....

    Such a kick ass band!! ...true Metalcore...not like some of this "boy band" shit of today!!

  22. C.... D....

    Amazing how I'm still entertained by a song from 16 years ago..... Ugh what is life? lol

    C.... D....

    This fkin TUNE! Been AGES.

    C.... D....

    That's when you know it's an amazing song even after x amount of years it still sounds amazing

  23. m.... l....

    The audio here isn't very clear. Sounds kinda muffled...

  24. e.... v....

    Haven't heard this song in such a long time. After all these years still love it. Great song.

  25. A.... A....

    been with this team for so long. spirit. be patient. and peaceful

  26. K.... B....

    "The Knife" on skins. Booyah!

  27. J.... ....

    I miss Holyoke Mass. And speaking from shadows hometown Germain didnt get kicked cuz off booze cuz they are all booze hounds. He quit.

    J.... ....

    I remember when Matt was in Exhumed with Dan Eagan. Great band!! Still have Shadows Fall's first demo on cassette called Somber Eyes I think! Love their early stuff.

  28. a.... ....

    10年以上前に聞いてぶっとびましたわ!

  29. B.... V....

    This is literally the song that got me into metal when I was 15. Still one of the best.

    B.... V....

    Same here!

  30. M.... ....

    Wow where can I find a download for this remaster?

  31. D.... ....

    Shadows Fall is a straight up Metal band, so obviously there is going to be a big difference in sound from this to a rock band like Led Zepplin -_-

  32. M.... S....

    Germain wasn't booted, I think he quit. And it was due to alchoholism

  33. B.... ....

    Oh, you're kinky!

  34. m.... h....

    Somber eyes is gnarly as well

    m.... h....

    Yeah Phil is a good singer.

  35. m.... h....

    Hanover house

  36. D.... H....

    STFU. Everything Shadows Fall put out is great, especially the new album, so deal with it, or die trying

  37. B.... K....

    Guys, all Shadows Fall is killer! If you can't appreciate Brian Fair's singing, I feel sorry for you. He is so sincere and haunting. It takes a mature and developed band to blend melody and brutality, and really do it well.

  38. A.... ....

    Easily their best song.

    A.... ....

    Awkwardly_Scripted No way! They have a few dozen excellent songs, AT LEAST!

  39. T.... ....

    from 1:43 like CoB \m/

  40. J.... T....

    you said it all man ==
    whats your name man? my names forrest gump... FORREST GUMP OI!!!!!!

  41. J.... T....

    @BuzzmFrog you said it all man

  42. B.... ....

    Fuck everything after this album.

  43. T.... B....

    Wow. This sounds a lot better

  44. T.... A....

    @mattfoxshulud why did they get rid of germain? jason i personally think is a better drummer, but im just curious.

  45. r.... j....

    Brutal!

  46. S.... H....

    @SynVenganceShadows Bittner joined Shadows Fall in 2002. Germain was the drummer of the band until 2001. This song is from 2000.

  47. J.... M....

    david germain????? jason bitner is there drummer

  48. H.... F....

    @CyphyrX Well, yeah. Bad sound can really minimize the joy of listening, even if the song is great. So, yeah, this particular song got a bit better with the better sound imo.

  49. H.... F....

    Ooh yeah, sounds really good remastered. But good song is good, sound is secondary, right?
