You build 'em up
You layer stone on stone
You build 'em high to keep out your enemies
the sky grows dark
the earth is trembling
An unhappy ending to your final fantasy
You feel so safe inside
the walls you've fortified
supremacy implied
who dares to overthrow?
arrogance justified
self importance amplified
ha, it's down you go
When your walls fall like Jericho
Can't wait to see you go
we'll all enjoy the show
When your walls fall like Jericho
You're looking down
and feeling so profound
You're so impressed by your own false humility
The sky descends
the ground is rising up
An unhappy ending to your sense of deity
You sit alone
up on your lonely throne
You're so oblivious to your own frailty
The sky erupts
the ground has opened wide
An unhappy ending to the life you've glorified
