The Fall Lyrics

Surrender mankind
To the lunacy of dreams
In feebleness
The shelter of faith dissolves

In desolate tombs
Wisdom and daring wither to dust
Wretchedness of grace
Unveils the fragile nature of bliss

Poison of doubt
Permeates this woebegone life
Shade over shade
Lies upon the seed of being

We tore our lives to pieces
Pieces of soul's shattered glass
We buried our dreams to dust
With ashes that left the weakness arose

(The fall)
Grace of Man or a failure of God
(The fall)
An image of fractured delusive peace
(The fall)
In lucid conflict existence collapsed
(The fall)
Through tremors in faith or denial of "truth"

(The fall)
Atonement of soul through your idol's blood
(The fall)
Downfall of hope though the spiral of dread
(The fall)
Flames of reluctance enlighten the self
(The fall)
So shall the world go on...
