[Verse 1]
Welcome to the new dark ages
Yeah, I hope you’re living right
These are the new dark ages
And the world might end tonight
Now come ye children, one and all
Let’s heed Ezekiel’s 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
Don’t believe the lies they send
Turn off your TV, pray again
Because the future is looking grim
Welcome to the new dark ages
Hope you’re not afraid of the light
Yes, it’s the age of paranoia
And the ignorance feels right
[Instrumental]
[Verse 2]
We’ve got digital confusion
And religious delusion
The fear machine’s always on
And critical thought is gone
We tweet and scream into the void
While sanity is self-destroyed
It’s a dark parade of pride
Where reason’s 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
It’s 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 don’t rise and make it right
We’re doomed to end these days
Welcome to the new dark ages…
