Dark Ages

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 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 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 Now the dark ages are back Corrupt kings in the wings Is what tomorrow will bring When the dark ages are back The new morning's in mourn How take care of their newborn? --- Dark Ages - Peter Bjorn and John
