A New Order
Regarde Les Hommes Tomber Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The incandescent arrow
To the heights of the gallows
The destruction of the Ten
Through the scarlet gardens
To the vermilion palace
Eternal loss for a banner
An infernal banquet
Prophetic feast of desolation
Around the fountain
Where the dancing shadows take shape
The flickering flame of the great fire
Lit on the lake
Worship the name of the sovereign
Who makes the earth quake
(The tremendous speech of the fallen star)
(To the wretched ones)
(Set nights on fire, swallow the sun)
And forbid the dawn
A celebration
Religiously (disorderly)
Hell in Heaven
Insanity, unholy
The conquering star has reached
The forbidden court he once called home
Crushing the skulls, beneath his feet
Landing a wave made of dark foam
The renegade order shall rise
And spread pestilence, pestilence
The soil, thirsty for lifeblood
Would grow and feed a fiery wood
All hail and pledge allegiance
To the standard, soaked in red
The chained foolish angel
Betrayer of his own blood
The desperate jester
The crawling lurker
A celebration
Religiously, a celebration, disorderly
Hell in Heaven
Insanity, hell in heaven, unholy
The lyrics to "A New Order" by Regarde Les Hommes Tomber depict apocalyptic themes and the rise of a new order in chaos. The first two lines of the song describe the beginning of the destruction, as the incandescent arrow symbolizes a catalyst of chaos that signals the start of the end of the old order. Through the use of scarlet and vermilion imagery, the lyrics portray a world that is overrun with terror and chaos, with the consequence being the eternal loss of everything that was once held dear.
The second verse of the song is rife with ironic imagery, featuring an infernal banquet and prophetic feast of desolation, as if to highlight that this new order is not brought about for the greater good of humanity but rather for the personal gain of those in power. The third verse describes the chaos that ensues, with dancing shadows and flickering flames, as the sovereign in control revels in the destruction they have caused.
The bridge features a fallen star speaking to the wretched ones and commanding the swallowing of the sun and forbidding the dawn. The final verse describes the rise of the new order, spread through pestilence and bloodshed. The standard is soaked in red as a symbol of the blood spilled, and the lyrics depict those who did not align with the new order as chained and crawling.
Overall, the lyrics of "A New Order" portray a world in which chaos reigns and the powerful revel in the destruction they have caused, with a new order that has been established through bloodshed and pandemonium.

From the depths of this den
Starting from the lowliest parts of the world
The incandescent arrow
A symbol of hope in the midst of darkness
To the heights of the gallows
Rising to the most extreme punishments
The destruction of the Ten
Destruction of the old ways of life and power
Through the scarlet gardens
Guided by bloodshed
To the vermilion palace
Leading to the heart of power
Chaos marches with terror
Destruction and fear leads the way
Eternal loss for a banner
Suffering and death as the cause for this journey
An infernal banquet
A gathering of evil intentions
Prophetic feast of desolation
A vision of destruction and despair
Around the fountain
Gathered in a central location
Where the dancing shadows take shape
Where darkness takes on a life of its own
The flickering flame of the great fire
A flame that symbolizes greatness
Lit on the lake
Started from the very beginning
Worship the name of the sovereign
Pay respect to the one in power
Who makes the earth quake
Who has the power to cause destruction
(The tremendous speech of the fallen star)
(The powerful message of a once-great entity)
(To the wretched ones)
(To those who suffer)
(Set nights on fire, swallow the sun)
(Bring destruction and chaos)
And forbid the dawn
Stop any hope for a better future
A celebration
A joyful gathering
Religiously (disorderly)
Following the plan with fanaticism
Hell in Heaven
Ruling with evil intentions even in a place of supposed goodness
Insanity, unholy
Madness and evil deeds
The conquering star has reached
The unstoppable power has arrived
The forbidden court he once called home
The place of power he was once denied
Crushing the skulls, beneath his feet
Destroying all opposition
Landing a wave made of dark foam
Arriving with darkness and chaos
The renegade order shall rise
A new, rebellious governing force will take charge
And spread pestilence, pestilence
Causing sickness and disease
The soil, thirsty for lifeblood
The earth is ready for bloodshed
Would grow and feed a fiery wood
Fueling the flames of destruction
All hail and pledge allegiance
Respect and loyalty to the new ruler
To the standard, soaked in red
The flag symbolizing the ongoing violence
The chained foolish angel
The naive angel held captive
Betrayer of his own blood
The traitor to his own kind
The desperate jester
The broken entertainer
The crawling lurker
The hidden danger
A celebration
A joyful gathering
Religiously, a celebration, disorderly
A chaotic gathering with religious zeal
Hell in Heaven
Bringing darkness and evil to a place of supposed goodness
Insanity, hell in heaven, unholy
Madness and evil in the midst of purity and good intentions

@Michael Berberian You could probably make a Youtube series out of metal bands buying you a beer, and in the time you drink it, they pitch their band to you.
Win-win situation for everybody, lol
