Decline & Fall
Into the impossible heart of the sun
Might be a place where I could belong
Society used to be my worst enemy
Now I want to build a small one for you and me
The decline and fall
Divide and dissolve
The dry stone walls
A beauty that calls
The decline and fall
A beauty that calls
I know our time has come and gone
At least we blazed a trail and shone
These tiny molecules governed by rules
Little atoms that only leave clues
The decline and fall
Divide and dissolve
The dry stone walls
A beauty that calls
The decline and fall
A beauty that calls
So much for calculations
So much for standing tall
So much for implications
So much for the decline and fall
The decline and fall
Divide and dissolve
The dry stone walls
A beauty that calls
The decline and fall
A beauty that calls
Might be a place where I could belong
Society used to be my worst enemy
Now I want to build a small one for you and me
The decline and fall
Divide and dissolve
The dry stone walls
A beauty that calls
The decline and fall
A beauty that calls
I know our time has come and gone
At least we blazed a trail and shone
These tiny molecules governed by rules
Little atoms that only leave clues
The decline and fall
Divide and dissolve
The dry stone walls
A beauty that calls
The decline and fall
A beauty that calls
So much for calculations
So much for standing tall
So much for implications
So much for the decline and fall
The decline and fall
Divide and dissolve
The dry stone walls
A beauty that calls
The decline and fall
A beauty that calls
