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
