Haken
Falling Back to Earth (Live at ProgPower USA 2016)
[I: Rise]

[Verse 1]
Save me now, set me free (If you could only show me how)
Show me how to live my dream (Living the dream I will die)
Aiming high, shooting low (You won't be laughing when I’m)
To raise the bar, or take the fall? (Climbing the mountain)
Ah, ah-ah!

[Verse 2]
Someone rescue me; help me, please!
Against all odds, I long to be free (Ah, ah-ah)
Will no one listen to my plea? (Ah, ah-ah)
The sky is falling in on me!

[Verse 3]
(Save me now, set me free, show me how live a dream)
Intervention now
(Aiming high, shooting low, raise the bar, take the fall)
I'll defeat
(Rescue me, help me please, how I long to be free)
All the people who
(Intervene, I'll defeat, all those who stepped on me)
Stepped on me
Ah, ah-ah!
[Pre-Chorus 2]
You have been standing in my way
You won’t believe it when I'm

[Chorus 1]
Soaring through the sky, free from your burden
Say your last goodbyes, I won't be back again

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 4]
When my name becomes tomorrow's news
On top of the mountain, I cannot be moved
I scale the summit like an unstoppable force
With iron wings I will prove my worth to you all

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I will be dancing on your grave
You won't be laughing when I'm

[Chorus 2]
Soaring through the sky, free from your burden
Say your last goodbyes, I won't be back again
Too close to the flame, ambition has burned me
With my wings ablaze, I'm falling back to earth

[II: Fall]

[Bridge]
Now that my feathers are broken
Crestfallen, my head is bowed
Splashing down into the ocean
Something seems different now

The world I once knew has eroded
Humanity’s fossilized
The beasts have become the new masters
Is reality compromised?

Advanced technological breakthroughs
And superior firepower
The frontiers of war and resistance
Seem abstract and vacant now

For countless years I have been longing
To apologize, apologize
A world without end is upon us
But time is in short supply

[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Soaring through the sky, free from your burden
Say your last goodbyes, I won’t be back again
Too close to the flame, ambition has burned me
With my wings ablaze, I'm falling back to earth

[Outro]
