(Kerry Livgren / Steve Walsh)
|
The sparks of the tempest rage a hundred years on
|
The voice of the dreamer screams, the cause of the pawn
|
The King and the Queen are gone, each piece is the same
|
The difference between us is a part of the game
|
|
Darkness is spreading like a spot on the sun
|
The dead are the living in the age of the gun
|
While everyone clamors for the justice they seek
|
The world is corrupted and the strong take the weak
|
|
They mold you and shape you, they watch what you do
|
The sparks of the tempest are burnin' you through
|
Spreading like wildfire, fallin' like rain
|
Though they may promise, they only bring pain
|
|
The future is managed, and your freedom's a joke
|
You don't know the difference as you put on the yoke
|
The less that you know the more you fall into place
|
A cog in the wheel, there is no soul in your face
|
|
Run for the cover, Millennium's here
|
Bearing the standard of confusion and fear
|
Spreading like wildfire, fallin' like rain
|
Though they may promise, they only bring pain
|
|
Blood in the sand, a cry in the street
|
Now the cycle is nearly complete
|
Ten thousand years, and nothing was learned
|
No turning back, now the wheel has turned
|
|
Big Brother is watching and he likes what he sees
|
A world for the taking, when he's ready to squeeze
|
The King and the Queen are gone, each piece is the same
|
The difference between us is a part of the game
|
|
Soothsayer saying now tell me no lies
|
What is this madness that is filling the skies
|
Spreading like wildfire, fallin' like rain
|
Though they may promise, they only bring pain
|
