Folly of Man

[Intro] [Verse 1] In the silence of the night, a whisper in the air A decision made in haste, a world unprepared In the blink of an eye, a flash of blinding light The echoes of destruction, shattering the night [Chorus] Oh, the folly of man in his quest for might Unleashing devastation in the darkest night Seeds of destruction once sown cannot be undone Leaving scars on earth beneath setting sun [Instrumental Bridge, Melodic Bass] [Verse 2] In the aftermath of chaos, the cries of the oppressed A world torn asunder, by the sins of the obsessed The children of tomorrow, inherit a legacy of fear Haunted by the shadows, of a past they hold dear [Chorus] Oh, the folly of man in his quest for might Unleashing devastation in the darkest night Seeds of destruction once sown cannot be undone Leaving scars on earth beneath setting sun [Instrumental Bridge, Solo Violin] [Break] [Bass Drop] [Pre-Chorus] Boom... (boom...) [Chorus] Oh, the folly of man in his quest for might Unleashing devastation in the darkest night Seeds of destruction once sown cannot be undone Leaving scars on earth beneath setting sun [Instrumental Bridge, Solo Violin] [Break] [Bass Drop] [Pre-Chorus] Boom (boom) Oh, the folly of man (the folly of man) [Chorus] Oh, the folly of man in his quest for might Unleashing devastation in the darkest night Seeds of destruction once sown cannot be undone Leaving scars on earth beneath setting sun In ashes, hope's gleam, Love reigns in righteous dream. In unity, peace's gleam, Redemption ends pain's extreme. [Big Finish] (the folly of man) [Bridge] Yet in the ashes of despair, a glimmer of hope remains For in the hearts of the righteous, love forever reigns In the unity of nations, and the promise of peace We find redemption, and our sorrows cease [Outro] (the folly of man)
