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 looking 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

Welcome to the show

History took a toll

Discontent was sown, but now the child is grown,

And come into his own, a superstar

Yet despite all illusion, we approach the darkest hour
