Lyrics
The Rise And 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.
The rise and fall; the fall and rise
The freezing breath; the frightened eyes
The rise and fall; the fall and rise
The naked truth; the naked eye
The rise and fall; the fall and rise
The open heart; the opened eyes
The rise and fall; the fall and rise
My lady laughs; my lady cries:
"Hold me in your arms
Hold me till you kill me
Hold me till you break my will
And passion fills my heart"
The rise and fall; the fall and rise
The Holy Ghost is exorcised,
And you and I
Shall no longer
Look at life
Through the half closed eye
