Fall
Charon- Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
THE FALL HAS COME TO HURT, BELOVED I WAS SOMETIMES DOWNHEARTED
THE HATE INSIDE MY HEAD SPEAKS
THE FALSE, UNTRUE DISGUISE BETRAY
MY LIFE IS OPEN WIDE
DECISION COMES IN TIME
EASY FOR YOU TONIGHT TO DIE
TAKE MY HEART
EASY FOR YOU TONIGHT TO CRY
TAKE MY LIFE
THE WORDS I KEPT INSIDE, ALL LIES
REVEALED TO SEE DAYLIGHT
THESE WOUNDS I TRIED TO HIDE
INSIDE WHERE ALL ELSE DIES
AND THE FALL CAME BEATIN' MAN TO GROUND
AND THE SORROW CHEATIN' HER TO BLEED
TILL LIES ARE ALL YOU HAVE
