we are falling down now
|
motion mistaken for flight
|
ambition has betrayed us
|
pursuit of dominance leaves us blind
|
there are few who look below us
|
and see the end of our path
|
they know our world will be broken
|
upon the rocks it will be smashed
|
this culture, this ship of fools
|
it's success, is it's doom
|
we keep striving to stay aloft
|
facing forward as we plummet
|
|
why won't we listen
|
to the voices of reason?
|
we are all falling
|
we are all falling down
|
we are falling
|
we are falling down
|
|
we've bent the world
|
to our will
|
made ourselves the
|
new gods of this domain
|
accepted the myth
|
that this is the height
|
of life as it
|
was meant to be lived
|
|
we are falling down,
|
plunging headfirst
|
we are falling down,
|
straight to the earth
|
we are falling down,
|
rushing headlong
|
we are falling down,
|
straight to the ground
|
|
to those who cannot see
|
the desolation we are facing,
|
any heart that bleeds for this world
|
must reveal our desperation
|
|
we must abandon this failed experiment and
|
find a civilization that can fly in the wind
|
|
take heed of the warnings
|
the pull at work upon our legs,
|
that's gravity screaming at us
|
the news of our end
|
|
it seems to us that
|
this is all there is
|
no way out of this
|
hole we're in
|
despair grabs hold and
|
we throw up our hands
|
we can fight back with hope
|
and begin again
|
