Paralyzed Civilization (Live Version)
[Verse 1]
Salvation out of sight
A piercing cold inside
Obscures the astral light
Expanding alienation
A fatal transformation
Minds caught in space and time
Await the final sign
Deceptive visions shine
A fading age is left behind
[Chorus]
Dawning, feel the heartbeat of creation
Dawning, signals of predestination
Warning, civilization in decay
The children of the future led astray
[Verse 2]
Expelled from paradise
A wasted sacrifice
Tears turning into ice
Perverted evolution
Senseless revolution
Scared by uncertainty, blind to reality
Lost in infinity
Eerie moonlight shadows in the night
[Chorus]
Dawning, feel the heartbeat of creation
Dawning, signals of predestination
Warning, civilization in decay
The children of the future led astray
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
Ancient trails in the sand
Gone with the winds of eternity
No beginning, no end
All cycles end in infinity
Let your intuition's fire burn
Trust your guide inside
Surpass the stairway of no return
Towards the dawn of light
[Instrumental Break]
[Refrain]
(It's the time)
(It's the time)
Beware the final sign
(It's the time)
Awake your senses
(It's the time) Approach the turn of time
(It's the time) Don't fear the changes
(It's the time) Ride on the wings of light
(It's the time) Escape the darkness
(Time, time) Heed to your voice inside
(Time, time, time, time) Defeat the madness
(Time, time, time, time, time, time)
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Lone age of vanity
Mindless insanity
Hail to technology
A spectral fascination
Aimless navigation
No motion in the air
A silent scream somewhere
Vibrations everywhere
Oscillations of despair
[Chorus]
Warning, stirring fears of termination
Warning, paralysed civilization
Warning, step into a new millennium
The never ending challenge of mankind
