If Hope Dies The Taker Thunderbolt Lyrics

The Taker Thunderbolt Lyrics

we are falling down now

motion mistaken for flight

ambition has
betrayed us

pursuit of dominance leaves us blind

there are few who
look below us

and see the end of our path

they know our world will
be broken

upon the rocks it will be smashed

this culture, this ship
of fools

it's success, is it's doom

we keep striving to stay
aloft

facing forward as we plummet



why won't we listen

to the voices of reason?

we are all falling

we are all falling
down

we are falling

we are falling down



we've bent the
world

to our will

made ourselves the

new gods of this
domain

accepted the myth

that this is the height

of life as
it

was meant to be lived



we are falling down,

plunging
headfirst

we are falling down,

straight to the earth

we are
falling down,

rushing headlong

we are falling down,

straight
to the ground



to those who cannot see

the desolation we are
facing,

any heart that bleeds for this world

must reveal our
desperation



we must abandon this failed experiment and

find
a civilization that can fly in the wind



take heed of the
warnings

the pull at work upon our legs,

that's gravity screaming
at us

the news of our end



it seems to us that

this is
all there is

no way out of this

hole we're in

despair grabs
hold and

we throw up our hands

we can fight back with hope

and begin again
