A Fool's Paradise - V: The New Mythology Suite (2000) Progressive Power

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 who fell into the void
Oh shall it be as it was before - 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 - 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

(solo)

Decades of greed, plague, famine and war
We can't go on like this anymore
Living like fools
Chaos will rule 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?
