Lyrics Dark Ages - Peter Bjorn & John

Dark Ages

Now the dark ages are back
We all spread the disease
Brought us down to our knees
Now the dark ages are back
No world leader pretend
Could predict such an end
And in all my days of traveling on
No, it never crossed my mind
While I tended my garden, wool in ear
From where I stood, it seemed fine
But now the dark ages are back
All the prophets wear black
Love’s gone under attack
Now the dark ages are back
Ice is melting away
We just shut up and play
Money, poverty, dignity
Is a mix-up hard to shake
We’ve been stomping this ground
For a million years
Now the earth’s about to break
I can feel it, I can see it falling apart
It strays and bends
I can’t heal it, I can’t rip it up
And just start over again
Lend a friend a hand
I can feel it, I can see it falling apart
It strays and bends
I can’t heal it, I can’t rip it up
And just start over again
Can you hear me?
We’re stuck in the dark here
No light and no way out
Can you tell me?
Is it way too late or
Too hard to make it right?
Lord, don’t let me down
Now the dark ages are back
Corrupt kings in the wings
Is what tomorrow will bring
Now the dark ages are back
The new mornings in mourn
How take care of their newborns
