Lyrics

Era

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]

There's a sign in the rain

Every now and again

It's a symbol of hope

In the midst of a catastrophic episode

In the hour of death

There's a spiritual wealth

When we dance through the rain

And form the sign once again

If even for a second

[Verse 2]

I hear a voice in the air

It has a warning to share

"Don't believe what you see"

"You can't perceive what you feel"

But if I do what I'm told

And shun the spirit I hold

I'm no longer a human

And I won't shift with the sands

[Chorus]

The end of an era

One starts anew

You know the devil

He lives in you

The end of an era

One starts anew

You know the devil

He lives in you

[Verse 3]

There are moments of doubt

When I don't know what to do

And giving in is the only way out

When there's too much shouting

About how I should choose

Incapacitated, I'm left behind

In a sea of hatred I go blind

Storm coming, I hide away

In the years of need reason leads astray

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

The end of an era

One starts anew

You know the devil

He lives in you

The end of an era

One starts anew

You know the devil

He lives in you

He lives in you

He lives in you
