Hearses crawl from grey haze
Timeless reign,
Shadowed by face of pain
As we wait behind our doors
For Autumns final blow to come
End of all days
Days fall to Summers sad grave
Cry in vain chilly tears once again
Sweep the soil and paint a view
Of thousand single-minded ways
Towards the end

He thought, "She doesn't seem the same this time
As the last time I saw her."
He thought, "She speaks so much of what she really means
Right outside her words."
And the way her fingers flickered about the edges of her hair
Were not a sign of any nervousness but of her deepening despair
And she was not here with him at all
She had once known the truth, but she had chosen the fall
He heard her loneliness most of all above
The din of what she said
The had a heavy feeling on the inside
That she'd been living with the dead
Come home, girl, come home

You're everywhere I see
From molecules to trees
And when you're far from me
The earth falls to its knees
Everything falls apart
When you're not here
Everything falls apart
I need to say "I need you"
You're in the air I breathe
You're moving energies
And like the river needs the sea

No single kiss, nor touch, nor vow
Dare not say, yet you know how
So fair and tender came to be
Such sickening sight for me to see
My dark wishes and hate unleashed
Dissolution leads me astray
Utter yet sweet can't be released
My path painted with scarlet stain
The chains of failure that I had borne
All the guilt ere has it torn
Out now this torment I've closed the wall
In life and death my word stands tall
The pain your lust has thrown to me
I shall return the suffering
I'll tear your throat and let you bleed
With steel I'll fill your every need
Come take my hand
I'll give you all my pain
I'll tempt you fain
Under my shining blade
Hilt in my hands
Woos me like blushing maid
Beauty of whores
By bodkin sharked and stained
>From self-pity awoken, thus
Rewrote our names in crimson dusk
Grandeur and strength untouchable
In hate our oath unbreakable
I've reached too far, in darkness dwelled
Could I be saved, saved from myself?
Did I miss the point of no return?
Is this the light, or strength I yearned?
Set your fate in my hands and we will prevail
You'll rise to the throne of lands, for you they shall hail
Come take my hand...

Father said unto his son
let it be written and let it be done
Father said unto his son
close the door and let it be done
Fly away my precious child
fly into the sun
Into darkness dark decay
forever will be done

Chapels and churchyards
Apartments and grocery stores
Like snow ona ton of bricks
On nurserys and nursing homes
On piles of sticks and stones
A vacant lot and an empty store
And over the ocean so i can fall some more
Like a fever dream my teperature's burning
My bed room door the knob is turning
All the lessons that i never dreamed worth learning
Stories of having always preface themselves with earning
I'm leaving eden
I'm sick of all the rules
The angels in the air
The beasts in the sea
Heaven ain't what it's cracked up to be
I'm taking the fall
If the block gets any worse
Thehouse gets boarded
When the days are true
The nights get sordid
I sleep with lilies to me morbid
'Till you show up and cover me with orchids
The garage locked and car left running
The seats are full and the people grinning
The were told that if life's worth living that the love finds you
and the air comes through
Things we asy don't seem to matter
When our voices crack and the pieces scatter
Like leaves through windows we've left open
Been a long long time since i 've seen an autumn

I see it's time again
As the night's cold sneaks in the day
And here we lay down
In this purest white
Impervious grey
As summer lay dying
Falling, falling
And leaves us alone in this grey
A silent season
The falling year
This coldest of feelings
A sound that creeps over me
The thirsty earth
A fevered slumber
Creeping over me
Forever circle
Forever it creeps over me
As the year decays
And I fall

Take this invitation
Bishops Queen to Pawn
All of us were taken
All that was is gone
Of this information
Shames us one and all
Where's my compensation?
Watching others fall
Welcome to the fall
Everything is useless
Nothing works at all
Nothing ever matters
Welcome to the fall
Welcome to the fall
Welcome to the fall
Welcome to the fall

Do you know the meaning of? €" this is love, this is love
(This is love, this is love
give me just a little shove
this love-)
This is
The end is nothing
And you begin with nothing much
It starts with something (you see something, you feel something)
A gentle touch, a vicious punch
Just lean on over (roll on over, please move over)
You will get a little shove
Over your shoulder
A whisper saying €žThis is love, this is love-€ž
This is
First we feel
Then we fall
Baby he is crawling
The world before his eyes unfoldds
He€™s hearing voices (teeling stories, dirty stories)
And Baby does as he is told
The night is falling (Baby€™s crawling, voices calling)
Mommy€™s holding Daddy close
Baby hears her calling
€žGive me just a little shove, this is love €"€ž
This is
First we feel
Then we fall
The Tower€™s falling
I think the dam€™s about to burst
The walls are falling (hear them rumble, see them tumble)
The light is blinding, you go first
It starts with nothing ( out of nothing, into nothing)
First and last, last and first
There€™s just one question
Do you know the meaning of? €"this is love,, this is love
(This is love, this is love
give me just a little shove
this is love-)
This is
First we feel
Then we fall

Out of restlessness
She set out into the night
The world seemed inviting
She felt no need to fight
But temptation holds a deceptive charm
that tickles your finger and rips off your arm
She sees the crocodile slip in the water with ease
And she wants to jump in
But he is not so welcoming
Why is she not happy with the shore?
She sees the fruit but not the poison
Doubts surround her but she does not avoid them
I try to call her
She can't hear
She's falling in love with fear
She used to love the quiet of night
Now she's scared and can't take the silence
She once believed in what was right
Now she runs and hides from the light
She's falling

He is tired of living in the world of lies
Tired of walking with the boots of lie
Betrayed and crying his destiny
Stucked to last hope, he stucked to death
He betrayed himself and runaway
Was afraid of wounds and lost everything
The priest uttered "Rest In Peace"
But after death pain starts to scream
His father never loved him at all
Lots of money but never mother's warmth
He wanted to make others feel guilty
Self-destruction, he run away from humanity
He betrayed himself and runaway
Was afraid of wounds and lost everything
The priest uttered "Rest In Peace"
But after death pain starts to scream
When the fall comes, leaves are dropping
From the trees, onto his grave
He will never feel the peace
That was wished to his soul
He continues his endless running

I've seen your face before
In shadows on the wall;
Splinters of broken light,
Echos that spear the night.
Is this the fall
Or is this the fall?
Is this the fall
Or is this the fall?
I've passed this way before
Walked through the open door;
Walked through the darkest night
Throughout the brightest light.
Is this the fall
Or is this the fall?
Is this the fall
Or is this the fall?
Is this the fall
Or is this the fall?
Is this the fall
Or is this the fall?
Is this the fall
Or is this the fall?
Is this the fall...
Typed by John Manfreda

Is this the way do you recall any of this
Do you know where we're going
Can you see what's ahead, can you make out a path
Can we keep our footing
If you keep me awake and you can show me the way
I might sometimes lead
But for now for the fall can you promise that someone will catch me
Cause I'm falling in...into the real life
Falling in...into the real life
There was a time that I felt I had guide
But I'm needing a revelation
I've been spit out and spit on
Can't even keep together my disjointed frustration
Up until now it was a question of how and no deeper
It's the who and the why and the reasons I just can't remember
Cause I'm falling in...into the real life
Falling in... into the real life
Are you the one do you believe if I crumble
You can put me back together
Is this the time and place that might begin
What might be forever
Up until now it was a question of how and no deeper
It's the who and the why and the reasons I just can't remember
Cause I'm falling in...into the real life
Falling in... into the real life
I don't want your reality...anymore
Is this the way do you recall
Is this the climb before the fall, fallin' in, fallin' in
Falling, falling, can you keep me awake, show me the way...
Fallin', fallin', this is all we are, get ready for the fall
Is this the way you recall any of this
Do you know where we're going?

Father said unto his son
let it be written and let it be done
Father said unto his son
close the door and let it be done
Fly away my precious child
fly into the sun
Into darkness dark decay
forever will be done

it's so cold outside
just the lonely leave their homes
a gust of wind came by
and filtered my mind
don't have to turn the heat on
thoughts of you keep me warm
pictures of you by the fireplace, in the fireplace cause your so cold
this fall i fall for you, and now im fallin apart
::CHORUS::
i fell for you - i fell for you- i fell for you
and now im falling apart -im fallin apart - im falling apart -
im falling apart
this place reflects my life and all around
leaves fall like hearts to the ground
fragile and gentle just like you
or maybe that was me
but just like the leaves - smiles change but i never do
and when that smile you leaves - the fall begins as i do too
this fall i fall for you and now im fallin apart
::Chorus::
this fall we had to park
but i couldnt leave
so if you think of us next fall
just send away for me
wait for me when your gone
come next fall i still be holding on
if you come around
what should i do
why even stay here
when all i have is you
i want you to go
but i need you to stay
one other year is just too far away
i want you to go
i want you to know
i want you to hold
(mumbling)

SOME WILL SAY
BLOW THIS MAN DOWN
OTHER THAN TAKE IT
HOLD YOU'RE HAND UP
BUT IT WON'T MEAN A THING TO IT I MEAN AT LEAST THIS
HERE GETS DONE
BETTER THAN NOT AT ALL
I'LL TELL YOU WHAT I MEAN
GOT A DAMN
SPACEMAN RIGHT HERE IN ME
AND IT LIKES IT ALL
SOMETHING'S TAKEN OVER ME BUT I LIKE TO BRAWL
BETTER THAN FAKING INDEPENDENCE
JUST TAKE THE FALL
SOME OF 'EM JUMP THE CAB BEFORE THEY LEAVE IT TO GO
THROUGH THE WALL
HEY NOW NOBODY CAN STOP AT ALL
SO HOW AM I GONNA TAKE THE FALL
WHEN ENDLESS DREAMS KEEP COMING IN
I MIGHT TAKE IT ALL
I'M JUST SAYING I JUST DON'T KNOW
THAT THE PAIN IT MEANS
THAT I REALLY DO KNOW
IF YOUR BODY JUST WANTS TO RUN
LET YOUR FINGERS BREAK THE BOW
IT'S BETTER TO TAKE THE FALL
AND THEN GO SING THAT DESERT SONG
HEY NOW
NOBODY CAN STOP AT ALL
SO HOW AM I GONNA TAKE THE FALL
WHEN ENDLESS STREAMS KEEP COMING IN
SOME MIGHT TAKE IT ALL WRONG
SOME OF THEM TEARING THINGS UP
SOME OF THEM LIKE TO CRAWL
SOME OF THEM CONVERSATIONS THEY DON'T GO NOWHERE AT ALL
SOME OF THEM MAKE A PIT STOP NEVER GET BACK TO THE HALL
SOME OF THEM CULMINATIONS NEVER STOP
OH OH LET ME
HEY NOW NOBODY CAN STOP AT ALL
SO I'M A GONNA TAKE THE FALL
THROUGH ENDLESS STREAMS OF IMMANENCE

Leaves are falling, the wind is blowing so cold
The end, cycle, peel to the core
Vision faces disintegrator
It all came back to me
Non could be lower, crawling under
The weight I can't take
I eat all, wild and virgin
The world carries the tears
Again the glory collapsing in silence
I'll be counting the layers
And the millions of mirrors you're sending
Reflecting rays of sun in dark time
Greater spirits from above are watching
Let us drink those tears, may we grow strong
Sometimes in our love disappointed
Fool ourselves in blind pretension
Sever ties to the possible options
Destroy the bridges to the green land
Fall to the ground
All dies again
A circle of blood and power recycled
Greater visions awaits a new coming
Melting rocks on the lives hard-working
And all shall die, transform
Nothing left to steal, no rewarding
Competition over no cheating
This great opened eye under water
Is rising slowly, embrace all over
Fall to the ground
All dies again
Leaves are falling, the wind is blowing so cold

As we look now, at what's been done,
I look ahead and see, where's my
Life I once held high,
Higher than the sky,
But where's the sea?
To catch me when I fall.
Once I portrayed a young man's dreams,
Once I believed that,
All that I needed was soul, it's cold.
Was it all that we wanted?
Was it all that we needed then?
Were we, scared? Read me,
Was it all that I wanted?
Was it all that I needed then?
Was I, Scared?
Catch the Fallen.
Wake up; open your eye,
For what is to be is now,
The warning of prophets denied.
Can't you feel the coldness reply?
Watch the darkness cloak the sky.
Ignore this information,
Driven mad from this infliction.
Left upon my soul,
That rots with no control.
As we fall to the pits of the earth.
I can feel what it,
Don't you see what it?
Don't you feel what it's done?
...What it's done.
The Fallen
As I look up and see the lonely star in the sky,
Well I know how he feels, alone,
Alone in the sky.
To see what's out there just look,
Maybe one day we'll find...
Let me fall to call the trial,
Let some know,
Let me fall to call the trial.
I can feel the drops that fall from high above,
I can hear the cries of many helpless ones.
Though the hands of time are done,
The winds of change have left me speechless,
Please refill this hourglass that's turned to Stone.
But I know I may be wrong,
Though yesterday's come and gone,
I know I'll make it strong today...
I can feel the drops that fall from high above
I can hear the cries of many helpless ones.
Though the hands of time are done,
The winds of change have left me speechless,
Please refill this hourglass that's turned to Stone.
But I know I may be wrong,
Though yesterday's come and gone,
I know I'll make it strong today...
Once let me, I'm inside.
Tearing your mind,
Once you feel what the words have done,
So now I know I've tried.
Now as we hear, they changed their words
And forgot their lies.
Now as we fall, they changed their words
And forgot their lives and,
I know we'll find some way some how,
I know we'll see a different road that,
Leads my soul above the fall now,
We'll hear the toll of church bells calling,
Let one become one with the earth,
You will see what it...
You will feel what it...
You will see what it's done,
The Fall
The Fallen,
As we look up to see your mind,
(Vocal Ad-lib)
