[Verse 1]
Welcome to the new dark ages
Yeah, I hope youโre living right
These are the new dark ages
And the world might end tonight
Now come ye children, one and all
Letโs heed Ezekielโs call
And fight until the word is good and right
And righteous in the land of God
[Pre-Chorus]
Ignorance is your new best friend
Donโt believe the lies they send
Turn off your TV, pray again
Because the future is looking grim
Welcome to the new dark ages
Hope youโre not afraid of the light
Yes, itโs the age of paranoia
And the ignorance feels right
[Instrumental]
[Verse 2]
Weโve got digital confusion
And religious delusion
The fear machineโs always on
And critical thought is gone
We tweet and scream into the void
While sanity is self-destroyed
Itโs a dark parade of pride
Where reasonโs been denied
Welcome to the new dark ages
Where the books are set on fire
And the loudest lie engages
All the hate that you desire
Raise the banners of dissent
This is not enlightenment
Itโs a cycle of decay
Until someone lights the way
[Final Chorus]
Welcome to the new dark ages
Sing loud, or fade into the haze
If we donโt rise and make it right
Weโre doomed to end these days
Welcome to the new dark agesโฆ
