Before the Fall

An old man asked a younger man
"What is the reason for life?"

The younger said to his elder peer
"To build off what you have done"

The old man asked the younger man
"How do you know we are right?"

Ego, inside
Before the fall comes the pride
We raged, so long
Forsaking all that was gone

"And if you can't answer that question
Maybe tradition should fall"

"Because to do the same thing though it fails
Is the definition of insanity my friend"

Ego, inside
Before the fall comes the pride
We raged, so long
Forsaking all that was gone

Ego, inside
Before the fall comes the pride
We raged, so long
Forsaking all that was gone

If we are just following along with what was done in the past
Then how can we say we are our own person
To follow tradition for tradition sake is pure madness
And sometimes the old must be burned away for the new
And there are many who will try to fight the change
Because the old ways have worked for so long
But their egos must be raged against
And their pride must become the reason for their fall

The new must rise
The old must die
We rage for now
To see peace tomorrow somehow

The new must rise
The old must die
We rage for now
To see peace tomorrow somehow

Ego, inside
Before the fall comes the pride
We raged, so long
Forsaking all that was gone

Ego, inside
Before the fall comes the pride
We raged, so long
Forsaking all that was gone

Before the fall
