Hold your words for when you must use them
Choose a side before it can choose you
Or obey the rules of humanity
And diminish with your indiscretion
Greatness and pride is one step below the rest
Boast yourself until there's no breaths left and
There's no room left to give
So was it worth it?

To build your life up to nothing
Was it worth it to build your life up to nothing?
To reach the highest peak for the greatest fall
Your accomplishments, your enslavement of virtue built
By the greed of man and machine
And as they walk hand in hand down an aisle of fire

The flames grow higher as all the life that we know expires
Now all I know is wearing thin and
I need something so much more
So I can finally find my way back home
