lyrics

Falling, falling away
Falling, falling astray

Here I stand I’m knocking at your door, waiting for you,
You say you know me but I am not so sure, and that is the truth,
I heard you say you were quite comfortable with yourself and what’s to bother,
You have it all so it seems but I’m telling you you’re as poor as pauper,

You’re falling, falling away,
You’re falling, falling astray,
Yet still I reach for you in this final hour,
And still I offer you gold refined by fire

Here you are so afraid to claim your closure, which is tried and true,
So you, synthesize the winner with the loser, which is lost through and through,
I saw you mix up my words with the words of an antithetical wonder,
It seems you have all the best of both worlds but it’s all just a grand fool’s blunder,

You’re falling, falling away,
You’re falling, falling astray,
Yet still I reach for you in this final hour,
And still I offer you gold refined by fire

Wake up Laodicea, blessed is he who overcomes this world,
Wake up Laodicea, blessed is she who overcomes this world,
Wake up Laodicea, blessed is he who overcomes this world,
Wake up Laodicea, blessed is she who overcomes this world,
Wake up, wake up
