In th… Read Full Bio ↴BEFORE THE TORN is a metalcore band from Lisbon, Portugal.
In the beginning of 2004, BEFORE THE TORN came up as the result of some experimental projects, trying to make something out of the inspiration given to them by their favourite metal bands. After having enough songs to play live shows, they start to play live on a regular basis and sharing stages with many hardcore/metal bands like For The Glory, Blacksunrise, Men Eater and Devil In Me. The band started gaining some good responses on their sound and live performance. Back in the end of 2005, they wanted to record their first demo and wanted it to be recorded in a good studio in order to give the songs what they deserve and to give the band some credibility as well, but the set budjet was low. So they postponed the recording and continued to play live. Some months later when everything was going smoothly, the band was not happy with their sound, knowing they could do a lot better, they decided to take some time off from live shows and in a daring move decided to stop playing all the songs written to that day to start writing new and improved material. Then, ready to pursue their musical goals, they started writing new songs and were very happy about how they sounded. So happy that they gathered a lot of money to record in Generator Studios in Sintra, one of the top studios in Portugal with Miguel Marques (from Easyway fame) in charge of the production and recording of their five songs EP titled “Behind Every Treason”. After a great and very teaching recording weekend, the mixed recording followed to Sweden to the hands of Peter In De Betou at Tailor Maid Studios for the final mastering process. After that the EP artwork was concluded.
BEFORE THE TORN were ready to return to stage with a fresh new sound, look, the mixture between melodic and destroying riffs.
...The Fall Of Hope
Before The Torn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everything he says
Everything he touches, it dies
Beneath the ages of this nation
Sun sets behind god's crucification
Lord give me shelter
Keep me safe
Enlight my thoughts
Walk the edge of desperation
Climb this tomb
Live again
What I say to you
It's where the path leads to
Follow me, to the end of eternity
What I say to you
It's where the path leads to
Follow me, to the end of eternity
Sorrow took my sight away
The spark of your eyes
It triggers my pain
The forthcoming hope
It belongs to this world
Rising from this grave
Bring us hope
What I say to you
It's where the path leads to
Follow me, to the end of eternity
What I say to you
It's where the path leads to
Follow me, to the end of eternity
What I say to you
It's where the path leads to
Follow me, to the end of eternity
What I say to you
It's where the path leads to
Follow me, to the end of eternity
The lyrics of "The Fall of Hope" by Before The Torn express a sense of disillusionment and despair in a world full of lies and death. The opening lines "This life's covered in lies/ Everything he says/ Everything he touches, it dies" immediately set a somber tone. The lyrics then shift to the idea of a nation and its age, and how its ultimate fate is tied to the crucifixion of God.
The singer of the lyrics seeks shelter and safety from the harshness of life, and hopes to find enlightenment and liberation from the despair that has taken hold. The lyrics also speak of climbing out of a metaphorical tomb and living again, which suggests a rebirth and renewal of hope.
The lyrics conclude with a message of hope rising from the grave, and a call to follow the path that leads to the end of eternity. Overall, "The Fall of Hope" presents a powerful and emotional exploration of themes of disillusionment, despair, and ultimately, hope.

What love is this the Saviour's blood my righteousness
His wound to make me whole
He sacrificed to save my soul
What love is this that knows no pride or selfishness
Poured out upon my need
Lord's work is done and I am free
My hope is Jesus
