How The Mighty Fall Lyrics - The Alarm

Once you held your finger on the trigger 

Now the gun is pointing at your head 

Once you reigned supreme 

Over all that you could see 

Now you walk on the other side of the street 

How the mighty fall 

I've seen it all before 

From the highest heights 

To the lowest of lows 

How the mighty fall 

Once your words were the first and last on the subject 

Now they hang like a noose around your neck 

Once you held the light 

That could be seen from near and far 

Now you fall and stumble in the dark 

How the mighty fall 

I've seen it all before 

From the highest heights 

To the lowest of lows 

How the mighty fall 

Once you held the secrets of the world within your hands 

Now you're just another grain of sand 

Once you were the first 

Revered to the last 

Now they talk about your fall from grace 

How the mighty fall 

I've seen it all before 

From the highest heights 

To the lowest of lows 

How the mighty fall 

(How the mighty fall) 

How the mighty fall 

(How the mighty fall) 

How the mighty fall 

(How the mighty fall) 

The harder, the harder, the harder they fall 

(How the mighty fall) 

The harder, the harder, the harder they fall 

(How the mighty fall) 

How the mighty fall
