The Rise & Fall
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Everything must come to an end
Don't rely on the trust of men
Remember how it used to be?
People helping those in need
And good guys always finish last
Power corrupts and good turns bad
Remember how I used to be?
Always helping those in need
The rise and fall
I never thought it through at all
Held onto the power too long
Forsaking all the friends I know
All of this is just a game
I don't give a damn for change
Deep, deep down, we're all the same
Power, glory, money, fame
And reaching out to hear the truth
No matter what it does to you
Secrets hidden in every drawer
But no one knows what we're hiding for
The rise and fall
I never thought it through at all
Held onto the power too long
Forsaking all the friends I know
Together we rise and united we fall
Together we rise and united we fall
Together we rise and united we fall
Together we rise and united we fall
And together we rise and united we fall
Together we rise and united we fall
Together we rise and united we fall
Together we rise and united we fall
The rise and fall
I never thought it through at all
Held onto the power too long
Forsaking all the friends I know
Together we rise and united we fall
Together we rise and united we fall
Together we rise and united we fall
Together we rise and united we fall
And together we rise and united we fall
Together we rise and united we fall
Together we rise and united we fall
Together we rise and united we fall
