The Fall (Radio Edit)
The end is coming
The silence breeds the fall
Our time has been wasted
Spent it all, it all
Penance waiting
Ten thousand years we've toiled
Been breaking the backs of others weighted
Subjugated
Down babe, come sleep
The void is calling
It all waits for me
Just struggle softly
Indemnifying
Our debt belies dreams
Our forest for the trees
We covet blindly
With all the writings on the wall
You'd think we'd wake ourselves up
But all this evil still persists
When good people fail to stand up
And innocence just turns to apathy
Our pandering becomes a crutch
Or pretense in spite of faculty
We choose, and always choose wrong
I tried
To reconcile everything
In the end I'm left with nothing
Why, try
Lost in our own reveries
While the world is slowly burning
No hope is left to find
I wish things hadn't turned out this way
I wish we didn't have to bear this terrible fate
We have to decide what to do with the time we have, but
How do we decide when it all keeps happening again
And nothing we can do will stop it
That change will happen in time
Our hope we cling to will try
But in the end it's all a lie
Just take a breath and close your eyes
Gone, with all the wicked
Our cries to God
Unholy vengeance, judgement passed
The final verdicts fall
Our prayers were answered
The flood begins
We pay the piper, played our part
And now we lay our sins
With all the time we had to spend
We still refuse to pay the price
Ten thousand years and we're still beating
Still deceiving lives
It's still a sickness in our heads
Exacerbated by the lies
We tell ourselves it's all okay
If it's just out of sight
I tried
To reconcile everything
In the end I'm left with nothing
Why, try
Lost in our own reveries
While the world is slowly burning
The silence breeds the fall
Our time has been wasted
Spent it all, it all
Penance waiting
Ten thousand years we've toiled
Been breaking the backs of others weighted
Subjugated
Down babe, come sleep
The void is calling
It all waits for me
Just struggle softly
Indemnifying
Our debt belies dreams
Our forest for the trees
We covet blindly
With all the writings on the wall
You'd think we'd wake ourselves up
But all this evil still persists
When good people fail to stand up
And innocence just turns to apathy
Our pandering becomes a crutch
Or pretense in spite of faculty
We choose, and always choose wrong
I tried
To reconcile everything
In the end I'm left with nothing
Why, try
Lost in our own reveries
While the world is slowly burning
No hope is left to find
I wish things hadn't turned out this way
I wish we didn't have to bear this terrible fate
We have to decide what to do with the time we have, but
How do we decide when it all keeps happening again
And nothing we can do will stop it
That change will happen in time
Our hope we cling to will try
But in the end it's all a lie
Just take a breath and close your eyes

If it's just out of sight
I tried
To reconcile everything
In the end I'm left with nothing
Why, try
Lost in our own reveries
While the world is slowly burning
