we are falling down now   motion mistaken for flight   ambition has betrayed us   pursuit of dominance leaves us blind   there are few who look below us   and see the end of our path   they know our world will be broken   upon the rocks it will be smashed   this culture, this ship of fools   it's success, is it's doom   we keep striving to stay aloft   facing forward as we plummet      why won't we listen   to the voices of reason?   we are all falling   we are all falling down   we are falling   we are falling down      we've bent the world   to our will   made ourselves the   new gods of this domain   accepted the myth   that this is the height   of life as it   was meant to be lived      we are falling down,   plunging headfirst   we are falling down,   straight to the earth   we are falling down,   rushing headlong   we are falling down,   straight to the ground      to those who cannot see   the desolation we are facing,   any heart that bleeds for this world   must reveal our desperation      we must abandon this failed experiment and   find a civilization that can fly in the wind      take heed of the warnings   the pull at work upon our legs,   that's gravity screaming at us   the news of our end      it seems to us that   this is all there is   no way out of this   hole we're in   despair grabs hold and   we throw up our hands   we can fight back with hope   and begin again
