Lyrics
Once upon a time, everything was alright
I used to feel safe, not a worry in sight
Then I grew up, quickly realized The world is a fucked up place sometimes
Death is at your door Reaching in from the other side
It's time to cut the cord
Hangin' on like a parasite (Go!)
Don't hesitate, you're hangin' on for your life
Don't hesitate, you're reachin' out for the light
Walking on a razor's edge
My blood runs black,
I'm not your friend
Pull from the depths of the thirty -six chambers (Ah!)
pull the trigger
Give a bullet to a stranger
Pull from the depths of the thirty -six chambers
pull the trigger
Give a bullet to a stranger
I don't wanna die
But I'm not gonna live
In a place so cold in a world like this
Crucify me
It’s blasphemy
Throw me in the fire
Let me burn for eternity
Burn for eternity
Burn for eternity
I will never be the one
That’ll ever back down
Never turn around and run Never, never, never back down
Deep into the trench of a place unknown
Lies a dead man clutched to the bottom of a throne
At the bottom of a hole that nobody wants to go
It's the devil that you know that's gotta hold up on your wicked soul
When there summin' your mind
and you're thinkin' the devil is makin' the crime
And the people are evil
and never no demon designer
The opposite of a divine? No!
Yes!
The hell is in front of you, side and behind?
I can feel every sign of a human decline
I'm believin' the time is upon us when all of our people are blind!
Yo!
Red rain, saw it fallin' from a tower's dead plane
Head bang, Mandalay Bay Hotel on a lead cane
Sex change could get you caught up in death's reign
She played sane but really imitating Ed Gein
How did we get this way? Negative shit to say when we get this way
Havin' a fit today
So they wanna make a bitch decay
My son's mom went gone I was really wrong
I thought I was gone
I vomit so shame for my son
But I didn't go John Muhammad
So the devil's right here
On this level wide tier
That’s cuz when rebels ready to pop the heavy metal I fear
Abomination, babin' Fakin'
Consecration Hatin' Wastin' education
Got the killer, wanna kill ‘em gotta chase em’
Go!
Go!
Spiraling out of control
And deeper down the rabbit hole

The effects you see in the Ronaldverse music videos are better than what you see in movies these days.

[@jayster_sickoXD]

couldn’t agree more

[@oliverrd7620]

Real

[@afterkwiss]

Best of the year so far. Can't wait for the sequel.

[@RodneyFleitesZequeira-kw1hh]

That's right.👌🏽

[@keblin86]

Yup, I always get so excited when I see a new video from FIR. The production levels are out of this world. I'd actually love for him to make a proper big movie of some kind haha

[@ApocApocrypha]

Ronnie living his best life, as a stuntman for himself.

[@lifeofliv7736]

The way he actually gets blasted by rocks and face planted. He does his own stunts and I’m here for it

[@crystalscolza1663]

When I saw that part in the video I said something to my kids. I was like I bet you they actually threw rocks at his face right then.

[@XboxToyeGunns81]

The rocks are foam I believe

[@joshisajedi2461]

Those are foam rocks.

[@XboxToyeGunns81]

@@joshisajedi2461 still gotta hurt

[@lifeofliv7736]

Yeah I think it was pretty obvious they didn’t throw actual rocks

[@r6scrubs126]

its easy to see the final product and be like "its all just CGI" but you forget how much work (and how many people) still goes into filming the non CGI parts (and obvs the CGI artists are doing crazy amounts of work too)

[@Elias-qj7dq]

literally putting so much effort into music videos is absolutely insane. The music videos are always a whole experience and not just a playthrough of the song with a few visuals and i love it

[@Geschwurbel]

0:45 that running scene looks incredibly perfect in the music video

[@enferm9]

An entire album of Ronnie making a video for each song would be one of the best movies ever made.

[@Nuverotic]

I love how Ronnie added “spirits forming in the water”, because out of all the reaction videos, no one picked up on that. So Ronnie’s like, “And just so you know, those are spirits.”

[@notsomadscientist9602]

Wait.... What did everyone think it was?

[@camdwas6454]

@@notsomadscientist9602 water

[@Misstizzylush]

My 11yo daughter said, "dude, it's like a dementor whirlpool" 👻

[@Nuverotic]

@@notsomadscientist9602 just cool water without any known meaning.

[@eraklea-tv]

When I first watched the clip, I realized that these are souls who rise to heaven, and hell is below. In my opinion, everything is very clearly and obviously realized in the clip. Looking at the reactions, I was surprised that few people called the devil the devil. Most people say "monster", "balrog from LOTR", "godzilla". It's weird for me))

[@caseychin3698]

The lost art of making actually good music videos. FIR really sets the bar high as fuck! Shout to Jensen and Ronnie and all the crew to make it happen! Movie quality effects!

[@XboxToyeGunns81]

Right up there in quality with rammstien.. the only difference between is rammstien has a music video for practically every single one of their songs lol but I believe Falling in Reverse passes em for sure

[@HeavyMetalDeathMan]

While music videos like this are very flashy, I think there are some incredible good music vidoes on a low budget out there, mainly from a story telling and camerawork perspective. Not all good music vidoes need special effects or huge budget.

[@EmMysteryVlogs]

​@@XboxToyeGunns81 Not once, but twice wrong saying Rammstein 😂

[@ZepyhrLight]

@@HeavyMetalDeathMan Spiritbox's earlier music videos with Versa films come to mind

[@samanderson6488]

I know the effects are gorgeous, but can I get a shout out to my grips, camera, and juicers? Watching them run in a circle with an 8x frame mirroring the dolly cart on the track was priceless. All that green and those light boxes putting in work. Stunts did an awesome job as well! Such a cool small production to be able to claim they got to do!

[@beverlyyanez318]

Without them these videos wouldn’t exist. It was awe struck watching the guys running backwards filming Ronnie running towards them. Dang they have an awesome job!

[@sergiolinares1769]

Ronnie is one of the best musicians of this era.

[@Meim32008]

Lo sigo desde escape the fate es un genio ❤

[@LoganDeal-cb6qn]

My life is like a video game

[@Bridgetjune666]

Best musician and best videos to date! The whole band is on another level!!!! ❤❤

[@elijahjenkins5847]

​@@LoganDeal-cb6qnTrying hard to beat the stage. 😂

[@arbitervildred8999]

man I hope every music they get now will post a behind the scenes

[@layogavita]

Wish I could watch all this happening in real life! Would be absolutely incredible!

[@aricabraham]

I worked on this on a small capacity with the camera department, and for me, it was cool seeing the building blocks come together for Jensen’s previsualization, and even cooler seeing the final product. Shoutout to the homie & brilliant DP Justin Jones!

[@calebrose4607]

These music videos are literally movies, but a fraction as long. Fucking badass

[@liftedleprechaun5442]

Ronnie flipping in the air like that was sick as fuck🤘amazing job to the cast and crew💙

[@rexroadauto]

Let’s fucking gooooo!!!!

[@jordanheimer774]

Stunt man for himself in a song that he made that's his name. Fair play to you sir.

[@nrwl23]

I knew the process of making this was extreme and intense but it is incredible to see it. Amazing. Absolutely love the passion and detail. Ronnie can absolutely music video.

[@someinamillion1020]

literally phenomenal!!! thank you for the video!!!

[@ExtrumComics]

The amount of work they put into this is beyond remarkable. Holy shit.

[@AshleyChevisYT]

This music video actually had better effects than any marvel movie ever😂😂

[@brittanyalldredge1900]

I love this do more footage for every video from here on out so cool!

[@Ravennq]

Falling In Reverse you are the best🔥🤟🔥🤟

[@Noggx4Games]

this is an piece of art

[@NastyJuicebox]

This is absolutely impressive! *Hopefully waiting for more*

[@Killuminati23]

Since everyone is already praising the visual effects, I would like to highlight the brilliant lyrics. A few years ago I would never have thought that I would hear something like this performed in front of a larger audience, except maybe by Jedi Mind Tricks & co.

[@ronnieradkefaneurope]

Love seeing how it's done, what an incredible team you guys are🤘🥰

[@GadashendiAqedan]

Ronnie is becoming king

[@hazardgaminghg122]

The dedication that goes into this is nuts. Really awesome to see this!.

[@RBRM3]

Im just glad ppl are seeing he does most all of his own choreography, directing and stunts! Even ppl that don't like his music can't deny him that...

[@lindseyanne316]

Love seeing this stuff! So damn cool!

[@JoshuaPipper]

Love this Ronnie keep up the good work can’t wait for the popular monster album to come out

[@andems09]

Movie should be next! Starring Ronald and of course all the guys in the band....move over Lestat, Avengers, Homelander 🧛🦸🦹🧟🥷🖤🖤🖤 Love you Ronnie ❤️

[@duskmoon181]

This is literally one of the best music videos of all time in the metal community.

[@WildSheldonMarch]

Crazy how good and effective VFX is today.

[@hourglassmedia9949]

INSANE amount of production. WOW good work everyone involved..FIR great job on camera, especially RR \m/

I'm here not only for the badass music, but the kickass production value you guys put into your songs - incredible, there's nothing else like it.

[@snarkyjay4744]

The Ronald video was the first FIR song I ever heard or watched, and it blew my mind. Totally Rad.
