Listen while you read! A man stands with a new constitution He knows his path is laid The crown jewel of a new evolution Lost in the role he's cast to play A puppet to his fate Carry forth the plan that's made Give way to the wave of delusion Ordained to change the faith Pay no mind to what's behind the curtain Don't try the truth to make your case We'll say it has no base We've found truth a hiding place It's the rise before the fall It's the end of all that was The dark before the dawn And the coming of the storm Before all hope is lost We fight to carry on In the dark before the dawn And the coming of the storm It's the rise, the fall, the end of it all The grand design of a managed fall They fleece our pride for the curtain call The enemies of the sane It's the rise before the fall It's the end of all that was The dark before the dawn And the coming of the storm Before all hope is lost We fight to carry on In the dark before the dawn And the coming of the storm
