Rise And Fall Lyrics - Michael Kiske

[Music + lyrics: M. Weikath] 

Once a singer sang 'bout bullshit 

everyone could see him fall 

and be sure it's been his last hit 

he's never been seen at all 

Some dictator felt progressive 

and lay down in the sun 

but his people were aggressive 

they killed him with a gun 

[Bridge:] 

Sometimes you're wrong 

by some things you have done 

you see fate is too strong 

nothing's won 

no use for a fight 

if you're not acting right 

you'll be cut down to size 

like a lie

[Chorus:] 

It's the rise and fall 

the prize for all 

that ain't nice at all 

luck is like a ball 

you can't recall or care at all 

so better use your brain 

A little dragon could spit fire 

but never so for something bad 

he didn't know the knight's desire 

to throw a lance into his head 

Romeo loved his Juliet 

their parents told them "Stop" 

then it all turned out peculiar 

he couldn't get it up 

[Bridge:] 

Photos 

And it's all in vain 

when you're living with pain 

reap not goods you have grown 

by your own 

feelings you like 

disappear overnight 

you sip up every grin 

free to win 

[Chorus:] 

It's the rise and fall 

the prize for all 

that ain't nice at all 

luck is like a ball 

you can't recall or care at all 

you nearly go insane 

[Solo: both/Kai/Mike] 

A spaceman flies the rocket 

that takes him to the stars 

thinks his wife is in his pocket 

but she's strolling 'round in bars 

The king of Los Angeles 

bought himself a teddy bear 

and the queen became shameless 

she did it with a chair 

[Bridge:] 

Sometimes you're wrong 

by some things you have done 

you see fate is too strong 

nothing's won 

no use for a fight 

if you're not acting right 

you'll be cut down to size 

like a lie 

[Chorus:] 

It's the rise and fall 

the prize for all 

that ain't nice at all 

luck is like a ball 

you can't recall or care at all 

so better use your brain
