Discover the story of the song > Before Him All Shall Scatter – Alesana

The lyrics describe a scene where the protagonist is witnessing many souls tremble in fear and run away from someone who is passing by. This person, who is referred to as "he," looks angry and filled with disdain. The protagonist watches as this person walks past with dry feet, and he can see that the person is removing the heavy air from his face. The person then comes to a door and opens it without any hesitation. He asks why these people, who were kicked out of heaven, have gathered here. The person then turns and walks away without saying anything, as if he has more important things to do.
