Song Lyrics

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
Spreading like wildfire, fallin` like rain
Though they may promise, they only bring pain

your 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
