Storming the borders of chaos
For the cause of a battle once strong
Faster than the wind we rode
To where our blackened hordes dawned
Armed in the fires of combat
The end will come fast on this day
Stronger than the gods we fought
Triumphant for the dark prophecies
Besiege the thrones of reverence
Gods of all fiery fate
Besiege the thrones of reverence
Warriors crowned on this day
"The dark tales of wrath bred on steel
An allegiance of great tyranny at the hand of darkness
A force to rule above all so that those who with pride
Lust and will eager to stride"
"Rise those who despise the weak
Spare none and ride proudly on the winds of death
All defeated by our call all defeated by the wars
Under the hovering thunders of darkness"
All shall fall
All shall fall
All shall fall
All shall fall
Storm forth through battle of fury
All giant warrior be
Blacker than the winds of death
Stronghold and fear blind the weak
Brought at the borders of chaos
For the cause of a battle once strong
Faster than the wind we rode
To where our blackened hordes dawned
Besiege the thrones of reverence
Gods of all fiery fate
Besiege the thrones of reverence
Warriors crowned on this day.
About This Song
"All Shall Fall" is a thunderous black metal epic that depicts an apocalyptic battle between dark forces and divine powers, with themes of conquest, rebellion against gods, and the triumph of chaos over order. The lyrics paint vivid imagery of warriors riding into combat "faster than the wind" and "stronger than the gods," suggesting a supernatural conflict where mortal fighters transcend their limitations through sheer will and darkness. Musically, the track showcases Immortal's signature blend of ferocious tremolo-picked guitar work, blast beat drumming, and Abbath's distinctive raspy vocals, creating an atmosphere of both epic grandeur and primal aggression. The song embodies classic Norwegian black metal themes of anti-religious sentiment and mythological warfare, while the repeated phrase "besiege the thrones of reverence" emphasizes the central concept of overthrowing established divine authority. This track stands as a powerful example of Immortal's ability to craft cinematic, battle-themed compositions that feel both ancient and apocalyptic.
