Текст песни A Fool's Paradise

(5:48)

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?
