Descendants
Fit For A King Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You brought your hell to Earth.

They are the ones that you called demons, the one's that you called wicked.
Our time has come to reclaim this world.

Bring down your reign.

We are descendants of the Almighty.
The weak will fall and the strong will be set free.
We are descendants.

If I told you I was falling would you run to me or catch me in your grasp?
The arms of the broken can only hold you up for so long.
Ignorance is no excuse when you are faced with eternal damnation.




Watch as the seas of this world are turned to blood.
We are descendants.

Overall Meaning

The song Descendants by Fit For A King is a powerful expression of rebellion against evil forces that have been unleashed on earth. The opening line "You brought your hell to Earth" sets the tone for the rest of the lyrics and suggests that some malevolent force is responsible for the current state of affairs. The following lines "They are the ones that you called demons, the one's that you called wicked" imply that these forces are both otherworldly and evil.


The chorus of the song asserts the singers' identity as descendants of the Almighty, which gives them the power to fight against these demonic forces. The lines "The weak will fall and the strong will be set free" suggest that in this battle between good and evil, only the strong will survive. The repetition of the phrase "We are descendants" reinforces the idea that the singer belongs to a powerful and influential group that is capable of overcoming evil.


The bridge of the song introduces a personal element with the lines "If I told you I was falling would you run to me or catch me in your grasp? The arms of the broken can only hold you up for so long." These lines suggest that the singer is in need of help and support but is aware that they cannot rely on the weak or broken to provide it. The final line "We are descendants" ties this personal struggle into the larger narrative of the song, reinforcing the idea that the singer belongs to a powerful and capable group.
