Sparks of the Tempest

The sparks of the tempest rage a hundred years on
The voice of the dreamer screams  the cause of the pawn
The King and the Queen are gone  each piece is the same
The difference between us is a part of the game
Darkness is spreading like a spot on the sun
The dead are the living in age of the gun
While everyone clamors for the justice they seek
The world is corrupted and the strong take the weak
They mold you and shape you  they watch what you do
The sparks of the tempest are burnin' you through
Spreading like wildfire  fallin' like rain
Though they may promise  they only bring pain
The future is managed  and your freedom's a joke
You don't know the difference as you put on the yoke
The less that you know  more you fall into place
A cog in the wheel  there is no soul in your face
Run for the cover  Millennium's here
Bearing the standard of confusion and fear
Spreading like wildfire  fallin' like rain
Though they may promise  they only bring pain
Blood in the sand  cry in the street
Now the cycle is nearly complete
Ten thousand years  nothing was learned
No turning back  now the wheel has turned
Big brother is watching and he likes what he sees
A world for the taking  when he's ready to squeeze
King and the Queen are gone  each piece is the same
The difference between us is a part of the game
Soothsayer saying now tell me no lies
What is the madness that is filling the skies
Spreading like wildfire  fallin' like rain
Though they may promise  they only bring pain
