Crashing Down

You must be getting pretty tired

Of the man who once inspired you

Going back on what he asked you to believe

All the promises of power

From his glittering ivory tower

Where's the height that he once told you you'd achieve?

Those other men believe what you and I will never see

But I say why believe in place of proof?

Let those others keep on praying

You know I'm only saying

What the others are afraid might be the truth

Well, they say nothing grows

'Til the oak has hit the ground

So let's clear the way, my boys

And let the giant come crashing down

Where are all the things you fought for?

All the dreams you shed your blood for?

Are they shabby now and fraying at the seems?

Was this your boyhood vision

To endure the world's derision

While the culprit sits and laughs behind the scenes?

Well, they say nothing grows

'Til the oak has hit the ground

So let's clear the way, my boys

And let the giant come crashing down

Let us cleanse this force with fire

Strike the fool who leads the liar

Let it all come crumbling down

Like the firebird from the ashes

We will rise to lead the masses

The strongest will emerge to wear the crown

Well, they say nothing grows

'Til the oak has hit the ground

So let's clear the way, my boys

And let the giant come crashing down
