Вступление
[Verse]
An apocryphal popular mythology or a civilization in wane
Whatever your assessment is, a paradox remains
There's a moral and intellectual vacuum and you're right to be lookin' askance
Philosophically moribund, revolution hasn't a chance
[Chorus]
As the light fades, the shadows dance in silhouette to stars
Despite all illusion we approach the darkest hour
[Verse]
Is the enemy hiding in your conscience or can forgiveness pave the way?
There's got to be a place for them if tomorrow's a better day
With the high-priest banging on the war drum you cannot make out what he's saying
With all the litter on the battlefield, no higher ground remains
[Chorus]
As the light fades, the shadows dance in silhouette to stars
Despite all illusion we approach the darkest hour
[Outro]
Welcome to the show
History took a toll
Discontent was sown
But now the child is grown
And come into his own
A superstar
But despite all illusion we approach the darkest hour
