Lyrics

I’m standing in the middle of nowhere in a Cat 5 hurricane
And the winds of change are all around
Blowing through the heart of the cities and across these open plains
Do we have the strength to stand our ground

You had a chance to take us down that glory road
But you didn’t lead us anywhere at all
So defiant, and so righteous in your words
But its always pride that comes before the fall

Are we living in a dream or has there really come a time
When your own voice is all you hear
Screaming out in desperation cause the world won’t turn your way
Yeah, you’ve made it all so clear

You said you’d found that golden city on the hill
You said we had our backs against the wall
You wore your anger like a shroud against the truth
But its always pride that comes before the fall

We had a dream before you tore it all away
I guess there wasn’t room for us at all
But now you’re over and its all come down on you
Cause its always pride that comes before the fall
