LYRICS:
Now the dark ages are back
We all spread the disease,
Brought us down to our knees
Now the dark ages are back
No world leader pretend,
Could predict such an end
And in all my days of traveling on,
No it never crossed my mind
While I tended my garden, wool in ear,
From where I stood it seemed fine
But now the dark ages are back
All the prophets wear black,
Love’s gone under attack
Now the dark ages are back
Ice is melting away,
We just shut up and play
Money, poverty, dignity
Is a mix up hard to shake
We’ve been stomping this ground
For a million years,
Now the earth’s about to break
I can feel it, I can see it falling apart,
It strays and bends
I can’t heal it, I can’t rip it up
And just start over again
Lend a friend a hand
Can you hear me?
We’re stuck in the dark here,
No light & no way out
Can you tell me?
Is it way too late or
Too hard to make it right?
Lord, don’t let me down!
Now the dark ages are back
Corrupt kings in the wings
Is what tomorrow will bring
Now the dark ages are back
The new mornings in mourn
How take care of their newborns?
The dark ages are back
We all spread the disease,
Brought us down to our knees
Now the dark ages are back
No world leader pretend,
Could predict such an end
And in all my days of traveling on,
No it never crossed my mind
While I tended my garden, wool in ear,
From where I stood it seemed fine
But now the dark ages are back
All the prophets wear black,
Love’s gone under attack
Now the dark ages are back
Ice is melting away,
We just shut up and play
Money, poverty, dignity
Is a mix up hard to shake
We’ve been stomping this ground
For a million years,
Now the earth’s about to break
I can feel it, I can see it falling apart,
It strays and bends
I can’t heal it, I can’t rip it up
And just start over again
Lend a friend a hand
Can you hear me?
We’re stuck in the dark here,
No light & no way out
Can you tell me?
Is it way too late or
Too hard to make it right?
Lord, don’t let me down!
Now the dark ages are back
Corrupt kings in the wings
Is what tomorrow will bring
Now the dark ages are back
The new mornings in mourn
How take care of their newborns?
