Affair of the Poisons Part II: Dark Clouds (The Corona Sessions) Songtext
von Circus of Fools

Now
Dark clouds cover blue sky
Utopia is closed
Walls constructed from a lie
Fade
Into irrelevance
At this moment I′m experiencing my own dead end

I had a dream, which was not all a dream
The bright sun was extinguish'd, and the stars
Did wander darkling in the eternal space
Rayless, and pathless, and the icy earth
Swung blind and blackening in the moonless air
Morn came and went—and came, and brought no day


Take it from me, In the darkest of times
When people are lost seeking comfort in lies
When shadows cover the earth like a flood
The cockroaches crawling out of the mud
From reason and prudence to bread and circus
Feeding the masses with tall tales and blood
Every pawn serves a purpose
Every mouth speaking up will be shut

Wake us up from this dream
Give us purpose in life

Now
Dark clouds cover blue sky
Utopia is closed
Walls constructed from a lie
Fade
Into irrelevance
At this moment I′m experiencing my own dead end

I saw the sky fading to black
A blindfolded herd searching for guidance
I knew the light was not coming back
And on the throne ignorant violence
Torches and pitchforks arming the mob
Collusions, schemes and devious plots
Calling the lost onto treacherous paths
Nurturing the chaos in our thoughts

Wake us up from this dream
Give us purpose in life


Now
Dark clouds cover blue sky
Utopia is closed
Walls constructed from a lie
Fade
Into irrelevance
At this moment I'm experiencing my own dead end

Now
Dark clouds cover blue sky
Utopia is closed
Walls constructed from a lie
Fade
Into irrelevance
At this moment I'm experiencing my own dead end
