Falling Down

These are the chains we throw off This is the dust we blow off It's time to let the curtain rise ... These are the bonds we're breaking This is the chance we're taking It's time to let the curtain rise Here ends the torment and the pain And we will not look back again And when these masquerades come Falling down... ... These are the words we've spoken This is the back we've broken It's time to let the curtain rise ... These are the gates we're crashing This is the check we're cashing It's time to let the curtain rise Here ends the torment and the pain And we will not look back again And when these masquerades come Falling down, Wade through that normal, sad refrain Sift through the ashes that remain Let all these barricades come Falling down. ... Here ends the torment and the pain And we will not look back again And when these masquerades come Falling down, Wade through that normal, sad refrain Sift through the ashes that remain Let all these barricades come Falling down. Here ends the torment and the pain And we will not look back again And when these masquerades come Falling down, Wade through that normal, sad refrain Sift through the ashes that remain Let all these barricades come Falling down. Let the curtain rise!
