A Fool's Paradise

Symphony X

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?
