Fallen

We have fallen,
just like the walls of Jericho
the words we use are cursed
curses are all we know
when would blessings flow
these words are thoughtless.

We are fallen
just like Lucifer,
we were once immortal
but now we're just dust
from ashes we were formed
and ashes we still will return.

We are fallen
like they said we would be,
our thoughts were priceless
our hands useful
but we never seek truth
only lies beckon.

We are fallen
just like lightning,
we could've been more
but pride calls for us
when would we be immortal again
I ask and ask
we are but shadows in this world .

We are fallen
but not for long,
we have a chance
a beacon of hope
but this is true
we have help
from Him who knows
He saves us
from what we have become.
