Theme
A 'truly stomping riff-based song' described as Led Zeppelin-style hard rock—the kind of anthemic track that would sound perfect blasting from a car stereo in a high school parking lot. The title itself suggests a dramatic fall from grace, a descent from the highest heights to the lowest depths, musically encapsulated in massive, headbang-inducing riffs.
Lyrics
You have the power
You wear the crown
From the pinnacle to the pit
It is a long way down
You wield the scepter
You wear the gown
From the pinnacle to the pit
It is a long way down
In your empire
They stare in frown
From the pinnacle to the pit
It is a long way down
You are cast out from the heavens to the ground
Blackened feathers falling down
You are cast out from the heavens to the ground
Blackened feathers falling down
You will wear your independence like a crown
Cruciger globus
You stand your ground
The orb disfigured
What is flat looks round
From the pinnacle to the pit
It is a long way down
You are cast out from the heavens to the ground
Blackened feathers falling down
You are cast out from the heavens to the ground
Blackened feathers falling down
You will wear your independence like a crown
