Lyrics:
If I am ungrateful,
I know a darker place.
Suspended (suspended) and waiting
for the end to take me (for the end to take me).
Still I can't fly.

I'm here.
I'm calling.
I am ready.
Can you hear me scream for eternity?
I'm still chasing your voice
Without you here I have no choice.

It seems that I've been severed from all life.
(From all life).
Reaching for anything in need of me.
Tormented and waiting for the end to take me.
Don't pass me by.

I'm here.
I'm calling.
I am ready.
Can you hear me scream for eternity?
I'm still chasing your voice
Without you here, I have no choice.

Those who surrender to my darkest hour.
I'll spare my life and lead you out of here.
Suspended and waiting for the end to take me.
Still I can't fly.

I'm here.
I'm calling.
I am ready.
Can you hear me scream for eternity?
I'm still chasing your voice
(I hear you through the white noise).
Without you here, I  have no choice.

Are you here?
I feel you near.

I'm here.
I'm calling.
I am ready.
Can you hear me scream for eternity?
I'm still chasing your voice
(I hear you through the white noise).
I'm still chasing your voice!

About

www.facebook.com/bloodofthefallenband
www.bloodofthefallen.com
www.youtube.com/bloodofthefallenband
We are an Alternative Hard Rock/Alternative Metal band located in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. We started together in September of 2010 as Chris Black (Guitars) and Stephen Miskie (Drums) and as of November 2011 we have added Jimere Brian (Vocals). In January of 2012 we added Colin Holman on Bass. We are currently finishing up our EP "Havoc On The Ocean Floor". We have just recently released our first single "Chasing Your Voice" which can now be heard on our profile. Our Album Artwork can be seen there as well. Stacey Urquhart is the talented mind behind the design.
We are having a difficult time narrowing down who we sound like to be plainly honest. Guitar styles range from Linkin Park, to Flyleaf, to Disturbed, to Godsmack to Sevendust. Drum style is similiar to guitar as is Bass. The Vocals are very hard to place as there is no screaming involved. The Vocals are clean and are the glue that pulls everything together. Despite the occasionally heavier and faster riffs, Jimere has found a way to blend his style with ours. We wanted to create something that was fairly new stylistically but that didn't venture too far away from our roots. Hopefully we succeeded.

Influences

Disturbed, Linkin Park, Sevendust, Godsmack, Flyleaf and a style of electronics similiar to HIM.

Equipment List

Chris Black:
Schecter Diamond Series Gryphon w/Seymour Duncan Blackouts.
Crate GT1200H Solid State, 3 Channel Amplifier Head.

Stephen Miskie: Pearl Export ELX 6 piece kit. Pearl Hardware, Zildjian cymbals.

Colin Holman: LTD bass guitar, Gallien Krueger Amp.

Jimere: Yorkville PA system.

"Death Speaks"

(Kris of Sable wrote this poem while inspired by Blood of the Fallen's first single "Chasing Your Voice."  You can find him on Twitter at  @Mind_of_Sable ).


Death claiming me
Fear devours me
As I scream
A spine-chilling shriek
I fall again
Dead as I have ever been
Unable to hear
In this din
Trembling in fear
The room spins
Eyes burned by tears
I can’t let it in
The light draws near
I commit the ultimate sin
And end up here
Into hell I do peer
Flayed without skin
My flesh was sheared
By hook and pin
I chose this direction to steer
As my eyes grow dim
I see I belong here.
