The Burning Season

Welcome to the new dark ages! Where cowards live like kings While children rot in cages Condemned to suffer for the crime of being born And politicians preach that only they can save us From their mistakes And all the consequences of their failures Wielding words like weapons in an endless culture war Every accusation a confession of their true intentions Banning books and burning pages A little knowledge is a dangerous thing Something to be feared And something to be hated This is how the new dark age begins And when the lights go out We shall not see them lit again A new age of darkness Has now descended on us Like a swarm of locusts Bringing famine and disease A vicious cycle we seem doomed to repeat Banning books and burning pages A little knowledge is a dangerous thing Something to be feared And something to be hated This is how the new dark age begins And in our darkest hour We'll turn against each other We'd rather set the world on fire Than ever face the truth So beware the death of reason Herald of the burning season Banning books and burning pages A little knowledge is a dangerous thing Something to be feared And something to be hated This is how the new dark age begins
