A Fool's Paradise

What’s become of the world – the colors
Unfurl revealing a blackened haze
Conditioned to fear the voice that we
Hear – calling an end of days
Millions of souls under control
Like pawns to a king, led by a string, to
The final hour

Oh – empire of the sea, lords of
Technology that fell into the void
Oh, shall it be as it was before – a
Tragedy on every shore?

Is this the end of all we know
Innocence lost so long ago
Woven in dreams – the darkest of
Schemes now takes hold of our destiny
Decades of greed, plague, famine and
War – we can’t go on like this anymore
Living like fools – chaos will rule this
Eternal paradise

Death by design, altering birth – trends
Of the modern age
The wisdom of life erased from the
Earth – in a reckless rampage

Oh – empire of the sea, lords of
Technology that fell into the void
Oh shall it be as it was before – a
Tragedy on every shore?

Is this the end of all we know
Innocence lost so long ago
Woven in dreams – the darkest of
Schemes now takes hold of our destiny
Decades of greed, plague, famine and
War – we can’t go on like this anymore
Living like fools – chaos will rule this
Eternal paradise

Dies irae, dies illa, solvet saeclum in
Favilla

Decades of greed, plague, famine and
War – we can’t go on like this anymore
Living like fools – chaos will rule this
Eternal paradise

Is this the end of all we know
Innocence lost so long ago
Woven in dreams – the darkest of
Schemes now takes hold of our destiny
Decades of greed, plague, famine and
War – we can’t go on like this anymore
Lost in the night, fading from sight is
This the final setting sun?
