Haken
Falling Back to Earth
[Part I: Rise]
[Verse 1]
Save me now, set me free (If you could only show me how)
Show me how to live my dream (Living the dream I will die)
Aiming high, shooting low (You won't be laughing when I'm)
To raise the bar, or take the fall? (Climbing the mountain)
(Ah, ah-ah!)
[Verse 2]
Someone rescue me; help me, please!
Against all odds, I long to be free (Ah, ah-ah)
Will no one listen to my plea? (Ah, ah-ah)
The sky is falling in on me!
[Verse 3]
(Save me now, set me free, show me how, live a dream)
Intervention now
(Aiming high, shooting low, raise the bar, take the fall)
I'll defeat
(Rescue me, help me please, how I long to be free)
All the people who
(Intervene, I'll defeat all those who stepped on me)
Stepped on me
(Ah, ah-ah!)
[Pre-Chorus 2]
(Ah, ah-ah) You have been standing in my way
(Ah, ah-ah) You won't believe it when I'm
[Chorus 1]
Soaring through the sky (Soaring through the sky)
Free from your burden
Say your last goodbyes (Say your last goodbyes)
I won't be back again
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 4]
When my name becomes tomorrow's news
On top of the mountain, I cannot be moved
I scale the summit like an unstoppable force
With iron wings I will prove my worth to you all
[Pre-Chorus 2]
(Ah, ah-ah) I will be dancing on your grave
(Ah, ah-ah) You won't be laughing when I'm
[Chorus 2]
Soaring through the sky (Soaring through the sky)
Free from your burden
Say your last goodbyes (Say your last goodbyes)
I won't be back again
Too close to the flame (Too close to the flame)
Ambition has burned me
With my wings ablaze (With my wings ablaze)
I'm falling back to earth
[Part II: Fall]
[Bridge]
(Ha-ah, ha-ah)
(Ha-ah, ha-ah)
(Ha-ah) Now that my feathers are broken
(Ha-ah) Crestfallen, my head is bowed
(Ha-ah) Splashing down into the ocean
(Ha-ah) Something seems different now (Ooh, ooh-ooh)
(Ha-ah) The world I once knew has eroded
(Ha-ah) Humanity's fossilized
(Ha-ah) The beasts have become the new masters
(Ha-ah) Is reality compromised?
(Ooh, ooh-ooh)
(Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ha-ah) Advanced technological breakthroughs
(Ha-ah) And superior firepower
(Ha-ah) The frontiers of war and resistance
(Ha-ah) Seem abstract and vacant now
(Ha-ah) For countless years I have been longing
(Ha-ah) To apologize, apologize
(Ha-ah) A world without end is upon us
(Ha-ah) But time is in short supply
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Soaring through the sky (Soaring through the sky)
Free from your burden
Say your last goodbyes (Say your last goodbyes)
I won't be back again
Too close to the flame (Too close to the flame)
Ambition has burned me
With my wings ablaze (With my wings ablaze)
I'm falling back to earth
