Lyrics A Fool's Paradise - 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
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?
