Rise And Fall

The pain is gone

I’ve been profoundly wrong

I never thought the day would dawn again

The paths astray

There was no other way

I haven’t seen a sunrise since you’ve gone

I’ve wasted all my fears

Another day we’ll rise and fall

And restart the dead-end game

The sparkle in your eyes is distressing me

But we’ll rise and fall

For the time that still remains

The wars we fought

All set at nought

Why did we never take what we required

The lights go out

Well, I can live without

Cause shadows disappear and let me go

I’ve wasted all my fears

Another day we’ll rise and fall

And restart the dead-end game

The sparkle in your eyes is depressing me

But we’ll rise and fall

For the time that still remains

I’m flying through the years

And realize we’d rise and fall

While we’re crawling bare and chained

Through a world we thought we’ve made a perfect place

We’ll rise and fall

For the time that still remains
