Age Of Insanity
Eloy Lyrics

I remember well, long time ago
The singer recalls his past when he was young and rebellious.

Once a rebellious child
The singer used to be a nonconformist and undisciplined kid.

With many questions, roaming in my mind
The singer was curious and pondered on many things.

Craving for knowledge I tried to learn
The artist had a strong desire for learning and education.

The only wisdom I found
Despite his quest for knowledge, the artist only encountered foolish and contradictory ideas.

Were only contradictions all around
The singer was only exposed to inconsistent and conflicting beliefs.

Now I'm facing reality
The singer has come to terms with the actual state of things.

Only fake and mendacity
The world is full of fakeness and deceit.

What's the reason why?
The artist questions why people are losing control.

We are losing control?
The artist wonders whether human society has lost its way.

Rules and laws of society
The norms and regulations of society.

Based on lies and dishonesty
The values and principles that govern society are grounded on falsehood and deceit.

Useless and in vain
They are futile and pointless.

Only a burning shame
It is shameful and embarrassing.

Now I know the game I begin to grasp
The singer has figured out how the system functions.

All I've seen tore me apart
The artist's experiences have caused him a lot of emotional pain and distress.

But there's no desperation in my heart
Despite the hardships, the artist is not losing hope or giving up.

Deep inside I feel a rising rage
The singer is filled with a growing anger.

Ready to go my way
The singer is prepared to forge his own path.

Without the fatal guidance of decay
The artist doesn't want to rely on destructive influences.

Mighty lords of insanity
Those who hold power despite being misguided and crazy.

Attentive guards of prosperity
People who are motivated more by wealth than common sense.

They are the ones caring for our lives
Ironically, those in power may not have people's interests at heart.

Rigid guards of morality
People who enforce moral principles that may be outdated or misguided.

But without credibility
Those who enforce morality may not have people's trust.

All along the line
Across the board.

Entangled in crime
Involved in wrongdoing and illegal activities.

Self-appointed heroes of our time
People who claim to be heroes but are not actually chosen or capable.

Surrounded by violence, apathy and disparity
The world is full of brutality, indifference, and inequality.

We are all adrift seeking the way to our refuge and deliverance
People are lost and searching for a way out of their predicament.

In a chaotic world
The world is full of disorder and confusion.

There's no time left for hesitation
The situation is too dire for indecisiveness.

Or to wallow in resignation
People cannot afford to give up or fall into despair.

Do we see the warning signs?
The artist urges people to recognize the danger and take action.

Mindless fools of vanity
People who are obsessed with their own appearance and status, but do not think critically.

Only slaves of technology
People who are overly reliant on technology and gadgets, to their detriment.

Insanity prevails
Craziness and irrationality are taking over.

Takes control of our life
It is affecting the way people live their lives.

Adulterating reality
Distorting what is true and real.

Emanating stupidity
Producing foolishness and ignorance.

Values in decay
Moral and ethical values are in decline.

Visions fade away
People's goals and dreams are disappearing.

Growing madness and confusion
The situation is becoming more and more insane and bewildering.

It absorbs all power, kills illusion
The insanity is taking away all the power and hope people have.

We are led astray
People are being misled and deceived.

We live in an age of insanity and confusion
The present time is marked by madness and chaos.

Our existence is senseless without direction
Without guidance and purpose, our lives are meaningless.

Yet these times of many changes offer us also big chances
Despite the turmoil, there are also possibilities for transformation.

To face the future escape our self-destruction by returning to our true values
To survive and thrive, we must rediscover our authentic principles and virtues.

Mindful guards of charity
People who are attentive to the needs of others and practice altruism.

They ignore the ones suffering lonely penury
Ironically, the people in power may neglect those who are poor and isolated.

Behind facades of sincerity
Beneath the appearance of honesty and kindness.

Growing reckless rapacity
The world is characterized by excessive greed and lack of restraint.

Now is time to turn
The present moment calls for change and reform.

To regain our liberty
To recover our freedom and autonomy.

Senseless war and perversity
The world is full of pointless conflict and corruption.

Terminating our destiny
These problems are bringing about the end of our potential and future.

The message of our time
The fundamental lesson we should learn from our present circumstances.

Is only violence and crime
The main characteristics of our time are brutality and unlawful behavior.

Heed the voice of your inspiration
Listen to your inner motivation and purpose.

Trust the call of your imagination
Have faith in the power of your creative thinking and ideas.

We've been lead astray
As a result of following false leaders and ideas, we have lost our way.
