Rise And Fall — текст песни (Michael Kiske)

[Music + lyrics: M. Weikath]

Once a singer sang `bout bullshit
everyone could see him fall
and be sure it`s been his last hit
he`s never been seen at all

Some dictator felt progressive
and lay down in the sun
but his people were aggressive
they killed him with a gun

[Bridge:]


Sometimes you`re wrong
by some things you have done
you see fate is too strong
nothing`s won
no use for a fight
if you`re not acting right
you`ll be cut down to size
like a lie

[Chorus:]


It`s the rise and fall
the prize for all
that ain`t nice at all
luck is like a ball
you can`t recall or care at all
so better use your brain

A little dragon could spit fire
but never so for something bad
he didn`t know the knight`s desire
to throw a lance into his head

Romeo loved his Juliet
their parents told them "Stop"
then it all turned out peculiar
he couldn`t get it up

[Bridge:]


And it`s all in vain
when you`re living with pain
reap not goods you have grown
by your own
feelings you like
disappear overnight
you sip up every grin
free to win

[Chorus:]


It`s the rise and fall
the prize for all
that ain`t nice at all
luck is like a ball
you can`t recall or care at all
you nearly go insane

[Solo: both/Kai/Mike]

A spaceman flies the rocket
that takes him to the stars
thinks his wife is in his pocket
but she`s strolling `round in bars

The king of Los Angeles
bought himself a teddy bear
and the queen became shameless
she did it with a chair

[Bridge:]


Sometimes you`re wrong
by some things you have done
you see fate is too strong
nothing`s won
no use for a fight
if you`re not acting right
you`ll be cut down to size
like a lie

[Chorus:]


It`s the rise and fall
the prize for all
that ain`t nice at all
luck is like a ball
you can`t recall or care at all
so better use your brain
