The Approach lyrics

An apocryphal popular mythology or a civilization in wane Whatever your assessment is, a paradox remains There's a moral and intellectual vacuum and you’re right to be lookin' askance Philosophically moribund, revolution hasn't a chance As the light fades, the shadows dance in silhouette to stars Despite all illusion we approach the darkest hour Is the enemy hiding in your conscience or can forgiveness pave the way? There’s got to be a place for them if tomorrow's a better day With the high priest banging on the war drum you cannot make out what he's saying With all the litter on the battlefield, no higher ground remains As the light fades, the shadows dance in silhouette to stars Despite all illusion we approach the darkest hour Go Welcome to the show History took a toll Discontent was sown but now the child is grown and come into his own A superstar But despite all illusion we approach the darkest hour
