Falling Down
Silent Civilian (USA) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Unleash the hate manifesting inside
Stuck in a world of betrayal and lies
Blood starts to heat and the tension will rise
Grinding his teeth, rage in his eyes
Pacing the room entertaining the thought
Seeking revenge cause he's clearly distraught
Dreaming of loading the gun he just bought
Justice will rise, bodies will fall down
Erase the fear replaced
With closure for all, he shares his pain

Creates this closure for all
Following through on this promise he's made
Cries to the man in the mirror betrayed
Lost is the rash of the rol he once played
Something has snapped, sanity slain
Ten in the clip now with one in the hole
Chanting, repeating, "and justice for all"




Pulls back his hammer, he finally stands tall
Pulling his trigger, bodies now fall
