New Dark Ages

New Dark Ages

Bad Religion
(album: New Maps Of Hell)

Yeah can you hear the call in our rambling land
Susurrations that can expand beyond all hope of light
and plunge us into unrelenting night

A pall on truth and reason,
It feels like hunting season
So avoid those lines of sight
and we´ll set this right

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 bide until the word is good and ripe and get plucked
clean out of sight

The world will be erased
Our kin will be immaculate ejaculate in space
Before the kind of king´s love,
He´ll snatch us from above,
Brothers help me sing it

Welcome to the new dark ages
I hope you´re living right
These are the new dark ages
And the world might end tonight

So how do you sleep? - There´s nothing to keep -
This is deep
Because we´re animals - with golden rules
Who... who can´t be moved by rational views, yeah

Welcome to the new dark ages
I hope you´re living right
Welcome to the new dark ages
Sing it again, yeah

These are the new dark ages
I hope you´re living right
Welcome to the new dark ages
And the world might end tonight
