Fall from Grace - Vision Divine

The silence falls down on the glory of men

No one remembers their names

Their faces got lost in the night

They lost their fame

Gone are the days when the world was in need

For someone stronger to acclaim

Guardians of destiny to save us from fear

They fell to ruin

The monuments raised in the squares everywhere

Are now forgotten for good

Who are those statues up there?

The marble is grey

The laurels have gone blown away by the wind

Their branches are covered with dust

Everything’s gone, their heroic deeds

All gone to rust

People walk and don’t even care

To read what writings on those walls may say

Carved in stone, those words were supposed to hail

Those heroes who now fell from grace

Those days are over no one seems to care

About all those men who once died

To give us the freedom to live

The freedom to forget

These supermen have begun their downfall

The same day they have reached the top

From camel to lion then a child

Now they are free

People walk and don’t even care

To read what writings on those walls may say

Carved in stone, those words were supposed to hail

Those heroes who now fell from grace
