What Are We

We are naked parts of the bare truth
Beings sculpted from dust 
The curse of eating the forbidden fruit 
Fragments of sins from the past 

We are sinners, we are faulty 
We are fallen stars from the sky
Redemption is our only bounty 
Without saving grace, we'll die 

We are fragments of a fallen glory 
Of a wisdom gone too wrong 
We're the tragedy of a sweet love story 
From once a great world where we should belong
