The eternal hopelessness of being 
Forever looking but never seeing 
You think you have it, but then it's gone 
We are dying the day we're born 

See how we fall 

These days, these dreams--what joy they bring 
Beyond good and evil, such sweet things 
To each--to all--there comes the cost 

See how we fall 

We who become and overcome 
We who swim amongst the drowned 
We who fall and fall forever 
And never, never hit the ground 

See how we fall 

Oh, you spilt a million words 
About honor; about sin 
Then slowly realizing 
That they don't mean a thing
