Before the Fall

Back on track again
Moving cautiously
Rain is dribbling it tastes like ancient tears
All have failed before
All got lost somewhere
You will pay no heed
And see the strangest things
An echo summons you
Through empty halls and sunken lands
A moonbeam frames the way
You know you’ve got a fire in you
Generating chaos anew
But will it ease the burden you share?

I have chosen the way
The way’s chosen me
A twisted fate

Here and now see again
The workings of decay
For a world just like this
Has been time and again

A glowing in the night
The thread of shattered dreams ahead
Colossuses I see
As tokens of a vanished time
Kneeling down you grab their dust
(And) think of the day the knell was heard

Here and now see again
The workings of decay
For a world just like this
Has been time and again

Oh, twisted fate of mine
Creation and destruction
Oh, twisted fate of mine
Let all the days turn into night
No voice could ever tell
No hand could ever draw
What it was like before the fall

I have chosen the way
The way’s chosen me
A twisted fate

Here and now see again
The workings of decay
For a world just like this
Has been time and again
