Symphony X - A Fools Paradise Lyrics




[Music: Michael Romeo, Michael Pinnella]
[Lyrics: Russel Allen, Michael Pinnella]

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 bring death unto the earth
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?
