Summer bows before the winter
Like the sun sets in the west
Some boys fall before they're men
Most men die before they're dead
I've seen men cry for their mothers
Though their mothers weren't around
With each dead man's face proclaiming
That we all fall down
There are shadows of the moonlight
In the middle of the day
Like the stain left by bloodshed
It cannot be washed away
Or the screaming of the warrior
Who has died without a sound
A dark haunting reminder
That we all fall down
You can hold on to your heroes
As you put them underground
They can't save you any longer
Yeah we all fall down
A silent drum is drumming
Though you may not hear it now
At the time of your departure
You will hear it nice and loud
There are shadows of the moonlight
In the middle of the day
Like the stain left by bloodshed
It cannot be washed away
Or the screaming of the warrior
Who has died without a sound
A dark haunting reminder
That we all fall down
Summer bows before the winter
Like the sun sets in the west
Some boys fall before they're men
Most men die before they're dead
I've seen men cry for their mothers
Though their mothers weren't around
With each dead man's face proclaiming
That we all fall down
