Текст песни Symphony X 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

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?
