The Fallen State was raised in the Autumn of 2013... when five young men with a mutual love for powerful, anthemic and beautifully executed rock, found themselves in a room together. For these guys togetherness isn't just a dream but a reality… they have that extra, indescribable ‘musical magic’ tattooed across their songs… the artistic ink of five individuals harmonised into something greater than the parts.
Individually, they’ve graced stages with the likes of Alter Bridge, Heaven’s Basement and Clutch… they live for the live show, with their stylish take on the musical legacy of both sides of the Atlantic.
Musically, The Fallen State combine the exuberant, smooth and soulful voice of frontman Ben Stenning with a harmonic wall of warm, contemporary rock guitars. Add the artfully emotive phrasing of lead six-stringer Jon Price - not to mention a grooving, ruthless rhythm section - and there can only be one outcome… infectious, body-rocking songs that'll leave crowds hungry for more.

The Fallen State Lyrics

I've been waiting for this moment all my life, oh, Lord
Can you feel it coming in the air tonight, oh, Lord, oh, Lord
Well, if you told me you were drowning
I would not lend a hand
I've seen your face before my friend
But I don't know if you know who I am
I saw it with my own two eyes
So you can wipe off the grin, I know where you've been
It's all been a pack of lies
And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh, Lord
I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh, Lord
I can feel it in the air tonight, oh, Lord, oh, Lord
And I've been waiting for this moment all my life, oh, Lord, oh, Lord
Well I remember, I remember don't worry
How could I ever forget, it's the first time, the last time we ever met
But I know the reason why you keep your silence up, no you don't fool me
The hurt doesn't show, but the pain still grows
It's no stranger to you or me
And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh, Lord
I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh, Lord
I can feel it in the air tonight, oh, Lord, oh, Lord
And I've been waiting for this moment all my life, oh, Lord, oh, Lord
And I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh, Lord
I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh, Lord
I can feel it in the air tonight, oh, Lord, oh, Lord
And I've been waiting for this moment all my life, oh, Lord, oh, Lord
The lyrics of The Fallen State's song "The Journey" are full of depth and emotion, invoking feelings of anticipation, regret, pain, and redemption. The song begins with the line "I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh, Lord", establishing an almost palpable sense of anticipation for something significant to happen. The singer then declares that they have been waiting for this moment all their life, indicating that it's an important event that they have been anticipating for a long time.
The second stanza of the song takes a darker turn as the singer delves into the past and talks about a friend who they would not help if they were drowning. The singer claims that they had seen their friend's face before but wasn't sure if their friend knew who they were. They narrate how they had witnessed something their friend had done, which was deceitful, and that despite their friend's attempts to hide it behind a grin, the singer knew the truth. This stanza offers a critique of the toxic nature of friendship and human relationships, where even close friends are capable of deceitful and hurtful actions.
The third and final stanza of the song offers a sense of closure. The singer recalls the last meeting with the friend and the reason why their friend keeps their silence up. The singer seems to understand the pain that the friend is going through and suggests that they, too, have experienced similar pain. The song ends on a note of redemption as the singer proclaims once again that they have been waiting for this moment all their life, suggesting that they have been able to overcome their pain and are now ready to move on.

I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh, Lord
I sense a significant moment about to unfold
I've been waiting for this moment all my life, oh, Lord
I have longed for this moment forever
Can you feel it coming in the air tonight, oh, Lord, oh, Lord
Do you sense the gravity of the situation, my Lord?
Well, if you told me you were drowning
If you confided in me that you were struggling
I would not lend a hand
I would not assist you
I've seen your face before my friend
I recognize you, my companion
But I don't know if you know who I am
But I'm uncertain if you're aware of my identity
Well, I was there and I saw what you did
I witnessed your actions first-hand
I saw it with my own two eyes
I beheld it directly
So you can wipe off the grin, I know where you've been
You can erase that smile; I'm aware of your true past
It's all been a pack of lies
It's all been falsehoods and deceit
Well I remember, I remember don't worry
I recollect clearly, don't fret
How could I ever forget, it's the first time, the last time we ever met
How could I ever overlook our sole and final meeting
But I know the reason why you keep your silence up, no you don't fool me
But I know why you remain silent; you can't deceive me
The hurt doesn't show, but the pain still grows
The anguish doesn't manifest, but it still persists and thrives
It's no stranger to you or me
It's a familiar emotion to both of us

Anybody has the lyrics for this song?
Nicolás Soto
I wonder the same, I tried to found the lyrics in google, but the strange thing is that those pages shows the lyrics of a song of Phill Collins o.O "In the air tonight". I tried to ask on Facebook, but I have no answer for the moment

The Journey
I dived beyond the surface;
Serene, submerged -I’m drowned in dirt,
I seek the virtues drained
Unearthed my worth has surfaced
And as I crawl up to the shore, I find
-The miles mark in time
Always knew that it would be this hard
I never thought that you could be so cold
You broke me down; tore me apart
-Seems that you don’t care that we are
Struck, bleeding, I’m hurt
Never thought you’d beat the best of me
Make a mess of my identity
You’re wading through the pain
Stuck, rut, fading to grey
Always hoped you’d be the one for me
Not criticize the other side of me
It’s time I take the blame
I’m falling hard and highe
gasp for air, the frost is fresh
-I’m breathing deep on flames,
The coals lit by desire
And as I leave the smoke alive, I find
-The fires fierce Always knew that it would be this hard
And now we are
Struck, bleeding, I’m hurt
Never thought you’d beat the best of me
Make a mess of my identity
You’re wading through the pain
Stuck, rut, fading to grey
Always hoped you’d be the one for me
Not criticize the other side of me
It’s time I take the blame
And now we are
Struck, bleeding, I’m hurt
Never thought you’d beat the best of me
Make a mess of my identity
You’re wading through the pain
Stuck, rut, fading to grey
Always hoped you’d be the one for me
Not criticize the other side of me
It’s time I take the blame
