Decline & Fall Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Into the impossible heart of the sun
Might be a place where I could belong
Society used to be my worst enemy
Now I want to build a small one for you
And me
[Chorus]
The decline and fall
Divide and dissolve
The dry stone walls
A beauty that calls
The decline and fall
A beauty that calls
[Verse 2]
I know our time has come and gone
At least we blazed a trail and shone
These tiny molecules governed by rules
Littlе atoms that only
Leave clues
[Chorus]
Thе decline and fall
Divide and dissolve
The dry stone walls
A beauty that calls
The decline and fall
A beauty that calls
[Bridge]
So much for calculations
So much for standin’ tall
So much for implications
So much for the decline and fall
[Chorus]
The decline and fall
Divide and dissolve
The dry stone walls
A beauty that calls
The decline and fall
A beauty that calls
