Dark Ages

[Verse]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

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

Can you hear me?

We're stuck in the dark here

No light and 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

[Refrain]

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
