[Intro] Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall, Watching the shadows crawl. Humpty Dumpty heard a voice, Whispering, "Make your choice." [Verse 1] Humpty sat upon his throne, Staring down at streets below. He heard a knocking from inside, But there was nowhere left to hide. A little voice began to sing, "Let me in, I'll show you things." Humpty laughed and turned away, Then heard something crack that day. [Chorus] Humpty Dumpty took the fall, Down beneath the Devil's wall. All the King's horses, all King's men, Couldn't put his soul back in. Humpty Dumpty broke apart, Cracked his shell and blackened heart. All the King's men ran away, When Humpty started screaming their names. [Verse 2] They found him lying in the street, With crooked teeth and bloody feet. His empty eyes were open wide, Something wicked lived inside. The King sent soldiers to the scene, But nothing there was what it seemed. Every soldier heard the same: A little voice that knew their name. [Chorus] Humpty Dumpty took the fall, Down beneath the Devil's wall. All the King's horses, all King's men, Couldn't put his soul back in. Humpty Dumpty broke apart, Cracked his shell and blackened heart. All the King's men ran away, When Humpty started screaming their names. [Verse 3] By midnight came the Devil's rain, Washing blood across the lane. Then Humpty rose without a sound, And every candle flickered out. He looked toward the palace gate, And whispered, "King, you've sealed your fate." Then came a laugh beneath the floor, And something started scratching at the door. [Breakdown] Fall... Fall... Everybody falls. Crack the shell. Break the bone. Leave the kingdom all alone. Run... Run... You can't escape. The Devil's already Inside the gate. [Verse 4] The King locked every window tight, But heard Humpty every night. First the attic, then the hall, Then tiny footsteps on the wall. By dawn the kingdom had gone still, Not a single voice upon the hill. And written underneath the throne: "Humpty Dumpty came back home." [Final Chorus] Humpty Dumpty took the fall, Now the Devil owns them all. All the King's horses, all King's men, Couldn't keep the nightmare in. Humpty Dumpty broke apart, Now he's got a brand-new heart. All the King's men disappeared, And Humpty's laughing in your ear. [Outro] Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall... Humpty Dumpty watched it all... Then he smiled... And took the fall.
