Sparks of the Tempest

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 word is corrupted and the strong take the weak

They mold you and shape you

So watch what you do

The sparks of the tempest are burnin' you through

Spreadin' like wildfire

Fallin' like rain

Though they may promise

They only bring pain

Your future is madness 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

Bearin' the standard of confusion and fear

Spreadin' like wildfire

Fallin' like rain

Though they may promise

They only bring pain

Blood in the sand

Cry in the street

Now the cycle is nearly complete

Ten thousand years

Nothing was learned

No turning back

Now the wheels have turned

Big brother is watchin' and he likes what he sees

A world for the takin'

And he's ready to squeeze

King and the queen are gone

Each piece is the same

The difference between us is a part of the game

Soothsayer sayin', "Don't tell me no lies"

What is the madness that is fillin' the skies

Spreadin' like wildfire

Fallin' like rain

Though they may promise

They only bring pain
