The Rise & Fall

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

Forsaken all the friends I've known

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

Forsaken all the friends I've known

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

Forsaken all the friends I've known

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
