The Downfall Lyrics


In the twilight of my days, I walk alone

A lifetime as a skeptic, my heart turned to stone

But now I stand before the church's looming gate

To confess my sins, unravel my fate

Heavy is the air, as I step inside

A sinner in the sanctuary, where shadows abide

the burden in my chest today will be put to test

the heavy door creaks open

as shadows dance and play, where sinners kneel and pray

A deafening organ wails, as guilt prevails

FREE MY SOUL, FREE MY SOUL, I beg to the unknown

The priest gave me his word

So why still feel feel wrong?

Live in self-denial

March into the fire

He will take you higher

To watch you fall

Walking down the aisle

Repress your desires

Juggle on a high-wire

Until you'll fall (you'll fall)

I thought the words would set me free

But in the end, no solace I see NO

The weight of my transgressions, an anchor in the pre

In the confessional's whisper, is where my doubt grew

Where's the end of the rainbow, where's the breakthrough

HEAL MY SOUL, HEAL MY SOUL, beneath this starry done

But I still wander alone

I down in remorse

(CHORUS)

(The crucifix stares with judgement cold,

In the sacred silence, mi story's told)
