Rise and Fall ft. Vai Gravino & The Nameless Lyrics

From a cosmic birth

To the first life on the Earth

Crawled from the sea, onto land

And into the trees

Stood upright, became more tame

We learned the secrets of the flame

Cities rose, society grew

There's nothing that man couldn't do

Governments formed to puppet the masses

As the atmosphere was assaulted by gasses

From start to finish we're stuck in a cycle

This beautiful planet has turned into an eyesore

The world crumbles as the sirens call

Sit back and watch mankind's rise and fall

Buildings burn, people going primal

The waves of anarchy have gone tidal

Those in charge hide away

It's no surprise that it went this way

A man arrives on a pale horse

The only smell in the streets, is of a burning corpse

No more rulers, no more feeling safe

Humanity has devolved back into wild apes

From a cosmic birth

To the first life on the Earth

Crawled from the sea, onto land, and into the trees

Stood upright, became more tame

We learned the secrets of the flame

Cities toppled, society fell

This world's become a living hell

Governments overtaken by the masses

The atmosphere disappeared, the grounds covered in ashes

From start to finish we're stuck in a cycle

This beautiful planet has turned into an eyesore

This is the rise and fall
