How the Mighty Fall

Once you held your finger on the trigger
 Now the gun is pointing at your head
 Once you reigned supreme
 Over all that you could see
 Now you walk on the other side of the street
 How the mighty fall
 I've seen it all before
 From the highest heights
 To the lowest of lows
 How the mighty fall
 Once your words were the first and last on the subject
 Now they hang like a noose around your neck
 Once you held the light
 That could be seen from near and far
 Now you fall and stumble in the dark
 How the mighty fall
 I've seen it all before
 From the highest heights
 To the lowest of lows
 How the mighty fall
 Once you held the secrets of the world within your hands
 Now you're just another grain of sand
 Once you were the first
 Revered to the last
 Now they talk about your fall from grace
 How the mighty fall
 I've seen it all before
 From the highest heights
 To the lowest of lows
 How the mighty fall
 (How the mighty fall)
 How the mighty fall
 (How the mighty fall)
 How the mighty fall
 (How the mighty fall)
 The harder, the harder, the harder they fall
 (How the mighty fall)
 The harder, the harder, the harder they fall
 (How the mighty fall)
 How the mighty fall
