Sparks of the Tempest(Live at Pine Knob, Clarkston, MI - July 1978) - Kansas

作词：Kerry Livgren/Steve Walsh

作曲：Kerry Livgren/Steve Walsh

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 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 burning you through

Spreading like wildfire

Falling 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

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

Falling like rain

Though they may promise

They only bring pain

Blood in the sand

Cry in the street

Now the cycle is nearly complete

Ten thousand years

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

King and the Queen are gone

Each piece is the same

The difference between you and I

Is just a part of the game

Soothsayer saying now tell me no lies

What is the madness

That is filling the skies

Spreading like wildfire

Falling like rain

Though they may promise

They only bring pain
