Two thieves came stealing
Out of deepest need
They thought it might be healing
To satisfy their greed
Tearing on
While the city turned around them
Tearing on
Through winters darkest night

You will be my sweet downfall
Rising like a sun when you call
And like a flame that could not last
Burning way to fast
Made to feel it all
My sweet downfall

She unafraid of darkness
She don't close her eyes
Some might say she's heartless
I hold her while she cries
Tearing on
Like power through deep water
Tearing on
Like no one that I know

You will be my sweet downfall
Rising like a sun when you call
And like a flame that could not last
Burning way to fast
Made to feel it all
My sweet downfall

And all you ever wanted
Wrapped up in her arms
And riding down this flood
You love to drown
And somewhere in the current
Some vague melody whispers
"This relief can only take you down"

And like a flame that could not last
You take away my past
Made me feel it all
My sweet downfall
And like a flashlight through the dark
Clutching at your heart
Made to feel it all
My sweet downfall
