The Taker Thunderbolt Lyrics - If Hope Dies

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
