Red Leaves Falling

Red leaves falling skies turn gray

A brittle empire fades away

Iron walls once tall now lean

Whispers echo where pride had been

Oh the red leaves fall the red leaves fall

What once stood high now feels so small

The bear it roared now it crawls

Oh the red leaves fall the red leaves fall

Marching boots now rest in dust

Flags of iron start to rust

The streets hum songs of change today

Where shadows stretched now children play

The world spins on the same old way

But something shifted yesterday

Oh the red leaves fall the red leaves fall

What once stood high now feels so small

The bear it roared now it crawls

Oh the red leaves fall the red leaves fall

The clocks they tick but don’t rewind

Dreams once shared now redefined

A broken anthem starts to fade

But in its place new chords are played
