Symphony X - A Fool's Paradise Lyrics
What's become of the worldThe colors unfurlRevealing a blackened hazeConditioned to fearThe voice that we hearCalling an end of daysMillions of souls under controlLike pawns to a kingLed by a stringTo the final hourOh, Empire of the Sea,Lords of technology that fell into the voidOh shall it be (oh shall it be) as it was beforeTragedy on every shoreIs this the end of all we knowInnocence lost so long agoWoven in dreamsThe darkest of schemes now takes hold of our destinyDecades of greed, plague, famine and warWe can't go on like this anymoreLiving like foolsChaos will rule this eternal paradiseDeath by designAltering birthTrends of the modern ageThe wisdom of life erased from the earthIn a reckless rampageOh, Empire of the Sea,Lords of technology bring death onto the earthOh shall it be (oh shall it be) as it was beforeTragedy on every shoreIs this the end of all we knowInnocence lost so long agoWoven in dreamsThe darkest of schemes now takes hold of our destinyDecades of greed, plague, famine and warWe can't go on like this anymoreliving like foolsChaos will rule this eternal paradiseDies IraeDies IllaSolvet SaeclumIn favillaDecades of greed, plague, famine and warWe can't go on like this anymoreLiving like foolsChaos will rule this eternal paradiseIs this the end of all we knowInnocence lost so long agoWoven in dreamsThe darkest of schemes now takes hold of our destinyDecades of greed, plague, famine and warWe can't go on like this anymoreLost in the night, fading from sightIs this the final setting sun?
