Twilight Cabaret

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Once upon a time, there was a puppet playing king Destroyed his whole kingdom like a Trojan from within An isolated and divided nation lives in fear The sky is bleak in silence, painted with tears [Pre-Chorus] He lies, till no one knows what's true or false anymore To distort the truth so that we'll ignore As he poisons the words until the meanings fade And light and dark both seem the same (Both seem the same) [Chorus] In this twilight cabaret King of the broken age Have you ever heard of history? What makes us great is empathy In twilight cabaret The renaissance of rage What's in those books you want to burn? What truth don't you want us to learn? Woah, yeah! [Post-Chorus] Woah, break it off! Ooh, yeah! Twilight cabaret [Verse 2] Orwell never wrote guidebooks, yet raptors guard the door As villains mortify the law with greed, evermore While we sleep, they will crush the Parthenon to dust As eclipse of hope hides the horizon of trust [Pre-Chorus] He lies, to ignite mistrust and let paranoia bloom To craft enemies, make us easy to rule As he retells our past until justice fades And hope and fear both feel the same (Both seem the same) [Chorus] In this twilight cabaret King of the broken age Have you ever heard of history? What makes us great is empathy In twilight cabaret The renaissance of rage What's in those books you want to burn? What truth don't you want us to learn? [Bridge] Hush now, little one, close your eyes The hand on your throat says silence is wise You don't need to think, just learn to believe Forget your dreams, make it easy to breathe Now, close your eyes, and count to none When you wake up, your rights will be gone [Chorus] In this twilight cabaret King of the grim ballet Have you ever heard of history? What makes us great is empathy In twilight cabaret We dance into decay What's in those books you want to burn? What truth don't you want us to learn? [Outro] Close your eyes, and count to none When you wake up, your rights will be gone
