Eloy - Eclipse of Mankind lyrics

Wasted tears of sadness fall On a merry ground There's no vision left to realise Self destruction all around We ignore the danger All warnings left unheard To return it's too late Bound to our fate We feel like a flightless bird Vanity and pride Brought blindness in strife True values held in hide Still burning inside Captured in the claws of fear The eclipse of mankind There's no hope, no future All our values slain Only meanless words to disperse our fear Empty promises drown in pain All honest feeling Are caught in chains We believed all the lies Now pay the price Despair flowing through our reins Vanity and pride Brought blindness in strife True values held in hide Still burning inside Captured in the claws of fear The eclipse of mankind Vanity and pride Brought blindness in strife True values held in hide Still burning inside Captured in the claws of fear The eclipse of mankind In a world of madness Ruled by war and crime Where the violence cries for more sacrifice Quite at home in perverted rhymes We pray for rescue But all in vain No tomorrow for change The future is now As only little time remains Vanity and pride Brought blindness in strife True values held in hide Still burning inside Captured in the claws of fear The eclipse of mankind
