In 2003, progressive rapper/producer Attila generated a tremendous buzz among the Nashville underground with the release of his solo album Konquest. Rap critics were impressed with his complex rhyme schemes & provocative lyrics, while fans were attracted to his high speed delivery and sudden beat changes. Many listeners were won over by his unique form of "world domination rap", which focuses on war, pride, and gaining power at all costs. With "Konquest" showcasing his tremendous potential, many fans were left eagerly awaiting the next chapter in Attila's dramatic epic. Three years have passed and he has finally released his follow up album, Nightfall. This time around, Attila pushes the envelope even further with intricate arrangements, insanely complex rhyme schemes, and even more progressive song topics. The lyrics explore the topics of war, money, and power; focusing on the rise to power and its many downfalls & consequences. Most of the songs are written as stories, with the storytelling effortlessly jumping from reality-based life lessons to tales of angels & other religious entities. Songs like "Destiny" and "Greed" depict a warlord's dreams of power, while "Glory" chronicles his attempted conquest of the Romans. And the gothic epics "Fire at the End of the Tunnel" and "Fall from Grace" have quickly become fan favorites, as their intricate arrangements constantly evolve to match the evolving story lines. Because of its progressive concepts & top-notch production, Nightfall is sure to leave Attila's fans begging for more.

Story behind the song
On the surface, it's about the incarceration and eventual escape of a mental institute patient. But as always, this song is really a personal metaphor. I'll let the listeners form their own interpretation of the lyrics, but it has a definite meaning to myself. The arrangement was another hard one, cuz it's got so many layers to it. I wanted it to have the strings & piano-playing of a classical track, & getting that right nearly drove me to madness. I think the verses may be the best i've ever written. It's also the 1st song i ever wrote after i 1st decided to quit dumbing down my music. I crave knowledge, and i finally wanted to have songs where i could exhibit my true vocabulary & intelligence. Before i started this album, i made a vow to myself that i'd only write what's in my heart, & this was the 1st real example of that.
Lyrics
Depraved V1 Imprisoned in a containment pod of glass submerged in a liquid to soothe the pain body limp, no pulse, but they keep my living can't tell if it's a dream or I've gone insane time has become my biggest enemy I must make my escape from this facility before they finish with me and have me put to sleep but I can't seem to use my dark energies daily, haunted by the cursed memories of when they captured me cuz of the sins of my past I'd taken up an offer to kill a senator that was about to expose an uncover clash so the CIA ordered his fall, so i made a few calls and I had my niggaz make a bloody mess of his chest but when I went to collect on my debt I was ambushed by the cops and I met my arrest then the feds held my trial in secrecy talkin bout they're gonna recruit me for the FBI but i was like "man, fuck that, I'd rather fry..." so they set me up an recommended double life but they wanted to condemn my soul, so they rigged the jury's vote even though there was no way they could show I was guilty but they wanted me controlled so they sentenced me to go with no possibility of parole and them hoez in the courts wouldn't hear my appeal but my lawyer and the D.A. cut me a deal they said I'd only haveta do eight years in here as long as I was good and took my daily pills but when I got to this bitch I was beaten and chained (you mean they fucked you up?) yeah, they got me man but once I figure out a way to get this straight jacket off I guarantee all you hoez are gonna feel my pain cuz the anger within's impatiently raising to the point it's about to burst through my skin so I pace with a grin, just praying and waiting for the day I can get my revenge then you'll pay for your sins, but until then I'ma play along with a smile but ya'll better stop me now while I'm small or I'ma grow large and burn this bitch down Chorus They're calling me (calling me) depraved like i'm neurotic so they bottled me (bottled me) in a cage like a twisted project so i wait, and replenish my depleted strength so that i can slay, all my captors then i'll have my revenge V2 Strapped down to the stretcher like a captured deer terrified by the cries of my tortured peers as tha demons in tha white coats sliced them up experimenting with them 'til their screams are all I hear and my vision's a blur cuz they drugged me up and they injected the virus into my veins I feel it burning from within, tryin to fight the pain but I can't so I passed out from the strain and when I came to I was black and blue and them devils had returned me to my padded Hell tha drugs slowly wore off as I licked my wounds and as I paced the room I realized that there was no way my lawyer couldn't have set me up he's probably sittin at home having a laugh at me so I laid on my bed so I could concentrate then contacted my doggs telepathically then I ordered them to ambush his residence so they swiftly struck like a pestilence and when he woke up he found his whole family slain that's his reward for doubting my intelligence cuz I learned from Napoleon to crush my foez and Machiavelli helped me see that sympathy's for hoez while Malcolm X kept me close to all my folks Jeffrey Dhalmer helped me cook a good casserole as for my other foez when I break out this hole I guarantee they'll be wishing they'd shot me cuz i'ma strike with a massive onslaught of tanks ain't no mutha fuckin way you're gonna stop me cuz if I take my rightful place on my throne I'm warning you now you'll regret not stopping me when I was small cuz when I grow large I'ma burn this bitch down Chorus V3 I awaken still bitter from the night before stretched out on the floor but I'm far from bored cuz for the last few weeks i've mapped out the place but since they think they're safe my efforts went ignored I found just the right temperature to melt the doors and figured out an es
