Run For A Fall lyrics

Do not use the past as an alibi

for all of your deficiencies always standing by.

Face your negligence, do not fool yourself,

shortcomings will soon appear

for weakness shows itself.

Blind from your success and all of the excess,

deaf from the praise you had.

Don't cry out of self pity in forcing your way through

for I will not be vulnerable to slander made by you.

Blind from your success and all of the excess,

deaf from the praise you had.

In a misty veil, misplaced,

where castles in the air will be no longer seen

as something out of reach.

In time the dream will be erased.

So many things will never be the way they seemed

and pride will have it's fall at last.

Her eyes fell while the shame was written on her face,

when she realised that her failures

could never...could never be undone again.

You did not notice the manipulated hand

that overshadowed your thoughts all those years,

that made you insecure.

You did not notice the ancient shifting sand

that pulls you down into an everlasting sham.

You will never be able to fight,

never be able to hide,

run for a fall, you'd better run!

Blind from your success and all of the excess,

deaf from the praise you had.

In a misty veil, misplaced,

where castles in the air will be no longer seen

as something out of reach.

In time the dream will be erased.

So many things will never be the way they seemed

and pride will have it's fall at last.
