creatures of ambition

we're here to conquer all

men of our own making

who are free to take a fall

confounded by our wisdom

to the point of no return

we're teaching all the lessons

we ourselves have never learned



a little bit lower than the angels

is the best we'll ever do

unless we are discovered by

the one who holds the truth



so why would you wait

to be forgiven, free from your mistakes

this is your moment to stand and be amazed

so why, why would you wait



you can read it in the bible

like it's written on the wall

time is quickly passing

and we know it won't be long

till we stand before our maker

and we speak on how we've lived 

and all he has created

will be standing by to hear



crying out for mercy

will be all we can do

unless we've been discovered by

the one who holds the truth



you can go back to the day of your innocence

now is the time to bow to omnipotence
