Scales Are Falling Lyrics
This is a tale so dark and dim
Of wicked hearts, the minds of men
Who spin their lies and hurt their kin
Scales are falling, father
From my eyes like water
Is there no way to stop her?
She knows it comes with scorn and pain
A sacrifice she has to make
Her love won't let her stay away
Scales are falling, father
From my eyes like water
Is there no way to stop her?
Scales are falling harder
All of these years
So unclear
With no sign at all
That what we held dear
Once revered
Now is torn
God, what comes next
I confess I am scared as hell
Blind with regret
What is left?
Nothing more
Times were simple and we had it all
But that was shattered, now the joy is gone
Gone to waste and lost forever
Now she fears that this could be the end
For every moment she has left to give
I hope that you will remember
In the end, he made it way too hard
In the end, he went and broke her heart
What she had is lost forever
Scales are falling, father
From my eyes like water
Is there no way to stop her?
Theses scales are falling harder
Of wicked hearts, the minds of men
Who spin their lies and hurt their kin
From my eyes like water
Is there no way to stop her?
A sacrifice she has to make
Her love won't let her stay away
From my eyes like water
Is there no way to stop her?
Scales are falling harder
So unclear
With no sign at all
That what we held dear
Once revered
Now is torn
I confess I am scared as hell
Blind with regret
What is left?
Nothing more
But that was shattered, now the joy is gone
Gone to waste and lost forever
For every moment she has left to give
I hope that you will remember
In the end, he made it way too hard
In the end, he went and broke her heart
What she had is lost forever
From my eyes like water
Is there no way to stop her?
Theses scales are falling harder

This track is about the the moment of realizing harsh truth and deception, inspired by the idiom "scales fell from my eyes," signifying a profound moment of clarity where a misleading situation's reality becomes clear, often with a darker undertone, as frontman Myles Kennedy explains, similar to seeing something's true, less pleasant nature. The song captures the emotional impact of this disillusionment and the struggle to accept a shattered reality, with lyrics suggesting themes of lost innocence, betrayal, and the difficult journey to find inner strength amidst personal turmoil.
