[Verse 1] Everything must come to an end Don't rely on the trust of men Remember how it used to be? People helping those in need And good guys always finish last Power corrupts and good turns bad Remember how I used to be? Always helping those in need [Chorus] The rise and fall I never thought it through at all Held onto the power too long Forsaken all the friends I know [Verse 2] All of this is just a game I don't give a damn or change Deep, deep down, we're all the same Money, power, glory, fame And reaching out to hear the truth No matter what it does to you Secrets hid in every drawer But no one knows what we're hiding for [Chorus] The rise and fall I never thought it through at all Held onto the power too long Forsaken all the friends I know [Bridge] Together we rise and united we fall Together we rise and united we fall Together we rise and united we fall Together we rise and united we fall And together we rise and united we fall Together we rise and united we fall Together we rise and united we fall Together we rise and united we fall [Chorus] The rise and fall I never thought it through at all Held onto the power too long Forsaken all the friends I know [Outro] Together we rise and united we fall Together we rise and united we fall Together we rise and united we fall Together we rise and united we fall And together we rise and united we fall Together we rise and united we fall Together we rise and united we fall Together we rise and united we fall
