The Fall

[Verse] Born into this world behind a wall, sealed away from light, You never knew a mother’s kiss nor a father’s hand to guide. Enfolded in a brittle shell, to be devoured whole ... Such is the world’s decree for you, O poor, forsaken soul. Torn from the haven of the frail, left naked, cold, and bare, You linger at the chasm’s edge, the abyss waiting there. [Pre-Chorus] Then comes a sudden shove ... your vessel starts to roll. Brace yourself; the shadows watch ... take care, you've lost control ... [Chorus] And you fall, ... you’re falling deep, from the cradle to the grave's cold sleep. You longed for wings, for skies to claim ... a dreamer’s plea, yet all in vain. Your first kiss will be a ruthless blow; you’ll meet the night, before the dawn’s first light. [Verse] Child, heed my counsel: a bird you’ll never be. Beware the heights ... your shield will shatter; save yourself and flee ... But too late ... [Bridge] The crushing hand of gravity now heedless drives your way; Without wings you plunge to earth ... for this, the price you’ll pay. Savor it ... your first and final flight, a moment’s fleeting grace; Too soon it will be over, and sorrow takes its place. [Pre-Chorus] Now, the end you never sought draws near ... unyielding, far too fast. The blow is close at hand; your fate in stone is cast ... [Chorus] And you fall, ... you’re falling deep, from the cradle to the grave's cold sleep. You longed for wings, for skies to claim ... a dreamer’s plea, yet all in vain. Your first kiss will be a ruthless blow; you’ll meet the night, before the dawn’s first light. [Interlude] [Verse] Oooohooohoooooo A voiceless scream ... thus ends your dream. Your innermost now dwells outside; a dreadful scene my heart can’t bear. O poor child, what bitter shame; it hurts to see you lying there. All wishes wasted ... all undone, shattered with your broken frame. How can this world ... no, how can fate ... be ever thus, so cruel, so inhumane? [Build Up] An eagle now you’ll never be; before life bloomed, you died in tragedy. The sun will never light your eyes; for you it shall not set nor rise. So ends your tale, devoid of glory, becoming but an untold story. [Pre-Chorus] No eye will ever weep for you ... only hunger fiercely cries. Please, forgive me, ... I never wished for your demise ... [Grand-Finale] So you fell, ... you’ve fallen deep, from the cradle to the grave's cold sleep. You longed for wings, for skies to claim ... a dreamer’s plea, yet all in vain. Your first kiss was a ruthless blow; you’ve met the night, before the dawn’s first light. [Outro] Ooohoooohoooooo You’ve met the night, ... before the dawn’s first light. [End]
