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.

Children come running to the truth

But you've got to peel the skin to get the fruit

And while one's living high another's grieving

But what's sweet by morning is bitter by the evening

Oh - what's sweet by morning is bitter by the evening

The wicked

The wicked

The wicked man shall fall

The wicked

The wicked

The wicked man shall fall

When the moon chase away the sun

And cause my day to run

I will not fear the darkest night

For i know upon the other side is light

Oh - the other side is light

The wicked

The wicked

The wicked man shall fall

The wicked

The wicked

The wicked man shall fall

Every man is a common man

And every common man has his plan

But while the hungry man seek any food in sight

The greedy man seek only appetite

Oh - the greedy man seek only appetite

The wicked

The wicked

The wicked man shall fall

The wicked

The wicked

The wicked man shall fall

Oh - the wicked man shall fall

Oh - the wicked

The wicked

Oh - the wicked man shall fall

Fall - fall - fall - fall

Wicked man

Wicked man

Oh - fall
