Downfall Lyrics
The night of timeless fire is drawing near
I flee... Throughout the years of throe
Watching through a mirror, as I fall apart
I see a wreck, I'm burning
I see angels burning, falling down in ruins
Looking down I see me, I'm my own enemy
Watching myself decaying, falling from high spirits
I flee... Throughout the ruins of me
Longing for finding my way out
Leaving myself, there's nothing left for me
The ruins are about to crumble down.
The flame is dying by shivery winds of jet black skies
It reflects hatred in my eyes
I see angels burning, falling down in ruins
Looking down I see my ashes scattered around my grave
Angels whispering fire, no longer I'm alive
Settled down I'm done with the trip to my kingdom come
I flee... Throughout the years of throe
Watching through a mirror, as I fall apart
I see a wreck, I'm burning
Looking down I see me, I'm my own enemy
I flee... Throughout the ruins of me
Longing for finding my way out
Leaving myself, there's nothing left for me
The ruins are about to crumble down.
It reflects hatred in my eyes
Looking down I see my ashes scattered around my grave
Settled down I'm done with the trip to my kingdom come

Children of bodom are soooooo damn good, cant believe they arnt bigger than they are (in the UK anyway) this song is one of my favorites :)
Never have i heard such an advanced, yet so cachy solo. Starts at about 3:15.
Anyone seen the trashed,lost and strungout DVD? it's so damn good.they play this song live on it and it kicks ass.
AWESOME song, i think its about his trip to hell? and dying, or some shit SCREW yOU.
This song is about the apocalypse, and it sure is an atmospheric song. It's about he final judgement, and about the fallen angels being tossed out of heaven by God. The singer might be one of these corrupt angels, or perhaps he is just a sinnger who is consumed by the wrath of God. Either way, a very powerful song, even if you can only barely make out what he's saying.. :-)
All their stuff kicks serious ass. I happen to have their demo when their band name was "Inearthed".
Wheeeerre did you get that?
Wheeeerre did you get that?
My personal favorite Children of Bodom song. Amazing guitar riffs are matched by eerie yet awesome keyboarding
I saw them playing this live at Tuska.. AMAZING
I don't know anyhting better than CoB. They are so fucking good. I hope they will come to the Tuska 2007.
I want to know this one... because its my favorite bodom song... its so interesting, and it opens up a lot of debate. i think it might have something to do with him in his teen years, "Watching myself decaying, falling from high spirits", etc. if you've read up on it in like... revolver magazine (i think) you'll know what i'm talking about. its just an idea... but it might just be right ;P
