This song never got anywhere near enough credit for how truly great it is. Truly underrated.

[vonschmeel]

literally one of the best tracks in the history of industrial music

[thomasfleischer]

Everything is useless
Nothing works at all
Nothing ever matters
Welcome to the fall
My god, these lyrics could have come from my inner self!
Greetings from Austria to all Ministry fans worldwide!!!

This is my absolute favourite Ministry track. Dark as hell and filled with despair, but it makes me FEEL.

[soilentgreenn]

This should be the intro to every presidential debate

I love most Ministry albums, but this one is my favorite - got me through some tough times. Also, I remember this album being in a jukebox in a bar at the university I was attending. I treated the patrons to Lay Lady Lay followed by The Fall. Nobody got it. I was happy.

Take this invitation
Bishop's Queen to Pawn
All of us were taken
All that was, is gone
Of this information
Shames us, one and all
Where's my compensation
Watching others fall
Welcome to the fall
Everything is useless
Nothing works at all
Nothing ever matters
Welcome to the fall

My favorite Ministry song. The desperation in Al's voice reminds me of some Pink Floyd stuff. A masterpiece of postmodernist art!

[jamesoblivion]

This brings back those 96/97 vibes in ways I could never describe.

[lordbayla]

Love the piano in this song! It's like the rug in the big Lebowski...it brings everything together.

[montanisemperliberi]

This song is perfect for Planet Earth 2024

[rustykuntz]

So dark & haunting. Then that eerie piano comes in. Brilliantly done setting a cold, dark vibe in this song.

[honkylips]

I'll be listening to THIS on September 23rd....goodbye summer, and well, you know the rest....

[delhidelirium]

Probably the best Ministry song of all time ... lyrics are simply beautiful .

[buckshotbill]

We're finally here folk's, welcome to the fall.

I've been working my way through Al Jourgensen's discography and Filth Pig is my favourite Ministry album thus far

[Foxtechconsultants]

I remember screwing around with speakers and audio receivers back in the 90s as a complete audiophile novice (~15 yrs old), and being BLOWN AWAY by the bass in this track. It just absolutely punched you in the face. Epic.
