Symphony X - A Fool's Paradise lyrics

rate me

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?
