A Fool's Paradise

Lyrics for 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 the 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 who fell into the void Oh shall it be (oh shall it be) as it was before? 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 bring death onto the Earth Oh shall it be (oh shall it be) as it was before? 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 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? Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
