SONG: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 burning for you
Spreading like wildfire
falling 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 yolk
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
millenium's here
bearing the standard
of confusion and fear
Spreading like wildfire
falling 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
nothing was learned
no turning back now, the wheels have turned
Big brother is watching
and he likes what he sees
a world for the taking
and 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 say it
don't tell me no lies
what is the madness
that is filling the skies
Spreading like wildfire
falling like rain
though they may promise
they only bring pain
