Lyrics

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?
