David's Lyre - The Fall lyrics

This citadel this heavy name this stake to which I lay my claim we're coming down we'll fall again back to the old road This is the life we've chosen Now this space grows colder This is the life we've chosen Can't get away from the robes you're clothed in You've said enough now to be safe You've seen these lines form across your face Clutch to youth for your namesake Caught like a dreamer This is the life we've chosen Now this space grows colder This is the life we've chosen You'll fight the fall Holding on for your dear life Just feel the tension grow That foreign toil I wish I could cure the strife Stop slipping here below Appearing through my empty gaze I see this form beyond the haze Now you're eclipsed by this new day born to a lover This is the life we've chosen Now this space grows colder This is the life we've chosen You'll fight the fall Holding on for your dear life Just feel the tension grow That foreign toil I wish I could cure the strife Stop slipping here below
