Falling Back to Earth by Haken Lyrics
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)
[Verse 2]
Someone rescue me; help me, please!
Against all odds, I long to be free
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Will no one listen to my plea?
The sky is falling in on me!
[Verse 3]
Intervention now
(Save me now, set me free, show me how live a dream)
I'll defeat
(Aiming high, shooting low, raise the bar, take the fall)
All the people who
(Rescue me, help me please, how I long to be free)
Stepped on me
(Intervene, I'll defeat, all those who stepped on me)
[Pre-Chorus 2]
You have been standing in my way
You won't believe it when I'm
[Chorus]
Soaring through the sky, free from your burden
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]
I will be dancing on your grave
You won't be laughing when I'm
[Chorus]
Soaring through the sky, free from your burden
Say your last goodbyes, I won't be back again
Too close to the flame, ambition has burned me
With my wings ablaze, I'm falling back to earth
Part II: Fall
[Bridge]
Now that my feathers are broken, crestfallen, my head is bowed
Splashing down into the ocean, something seems different now
The world I once knew has eroded, humanity's fossilized
The beasts have become the new masters; is reality compromised?
Advanced technological breakthroughs and superior firepower
The frontiers of war and resistance seem abstract and vacant now
For countless years I have been longing to apologize, apologize
A world without end is upon us, but time is in short supply
[Chorus]
Soaring through the sky, free from your burden
Say your last goodbyes, I won't be back again
Too close to the flame, ambition has burned me
With my wings ablaze, I'm falling back to earth
[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)
[Verse 2]
Someone rescue me; help me, please!
Against all odds, I long to be free
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Will no one listen to my plea?
The sky is falling in on me!
[Verse 3]
Intervention now
(Save me now, set me free, show me how live a dream)
I'll defeat
(Aiming high, shooting low, raise the bar, take the fall)
All the people who
(Rescue me, help me please, how I long to be free)
Stepped on me
(Intervene, I'll defeat, all those who stepped on me)
[Pre-Chorus 2]
You have been standing in my way
You won't believe it when I'm
[Chorus]
Soaring through the sky, free from your burden
Say your last goodbyes, I won't be back again
