Sparks Of The Tempest [live At Pine Knob, Clarkston, Mi] Lyrics - Kansas

The sparks of the tempest rage a hundred years on 

The voice of the dreamer screams, the cause of the pawn 

The King and the Queen are gone, each piece is the same 

The difference between us is a part of the game 

Darkness is spreading like a spot on the sun 

The dead are the living in the age of the gun 

While everyone clamors for the justice they seek 

The world is corrupted and the strong take the weak 

They mold you and shape you, they watch what you do 

The sparks of the tempest are burnin' you through 

Spreading like wildfire, fallin' like rain 

Though they may promise, they only bring pain 

The future is managed, and your freedom's a joke 

You don't know the difference as you put on the yoke 

The less that you know the more you fall into place 

A cog in the wheel, there is no soul in your face 

Run for the cover, Millennium's here 

Bearing the standard of confusion and fear 

Spreading like wildfire, fallin' like rain 

Though they may promise, they only bring pain 

Blood in the sand, a cry in the street 

Now the cycle is nearly complete 

Ten thousand years, and nothing was learned 

No turning back, now the wheel has turned 

Big Brother is watching and he likes what he sees 

A world for the taking, when he's ready to squeeze 

The King and the Queen are gone, each piece is the same 

The difference between us is a part of the game 

Soothsayer saying now tell me no lies 

What is this madness that is filling the skies 

Spreading like wildfire, fallin' like rain 

Though they may promise, they only bring pain
