Rise and Fall Songtext
von Black Water County

Listen here, tell me dear
What have you now got to fear?
Took you long to realise
Take it one day at a time

You′ve been wasting the minutes
In the hours of your days
Look around and you'll find
That it′s just another way

To kill some time for what you're worth
'Cause you don′t have long on this earth
So change your mind one more time
Then it makes no sense at all
Just make a promise that you′ll be
The best to rise and fall

Could there be more to see
In this world but you and me?
There's no time in the day
To even think we could betray


What we know, what we think
As our limbs begin to sink
Has time not taught us anything?
(We can′t remember everything)

But there's something on my mind
That I need to leave behind
So tear the page, hit erase
′Til the day you hear me call
Make a promise that you'll be
The best to rise and fall

Justify all the lies
That we use to get us by
Do we ever really change?
Do we always stay the same?

We just take some suggestions
We follow the directions
The fact is plain to see
That you′re just the same as me


But one thing is for sure
When you're standing at my door
Play the game, lose the name
'Cause eventually we crawl
Make a promise that you′ll be
The best to rise and fall
