New Dark Ages

Bad Religion · New Maps Of Hell [2007]

Yeah can you hear the call?

In a rebel ridden land

Susurrations, that can expand beyond all hope of light

and plunge us into unrelenting night



A pall on truth and reason,

It feels like hunting season

So avoid those lines of sight and we'll set this right



Welcome to the new dark ages

Yeah, I hope you're living right

These are the new dark ages

And the world might end tonight



Now come ye children one and all, let's heed Ezekiel's call,

And bide until the word is good

and ripe and get plucked clean out of sight



The world will be erased our kin will be

Immaculate ejaculate in space

Before the kind of king's love, he'll snatch us from above,

brothers help me sing it



Welcome to the new dark ages

Yeah, I hope you're living right

These are the new dark ages

And the world might end tonight



So how do you sleep

There's nothing to keep

This is deep



Because we're animals - with golden rules

Who, who can't be moved by rational views



Welcome to the new dark ages

I hope you're living right

Welcome to the new dark ages

Say it again, yeah!

These are the new dark ages

I hope your living right

Welcome to the new dark ages

And the world might end tonight
