A World Apart - Lyrics - Fates Warning
Fates Warning is an American progressive metal band, formed in 1982 by vocalist John Arch, guitarists Jim Matheos and Victor Arduini, bassist Joe DiBiase, and drummer Steve Zimmerman in Hartford, Connecticut. Fates Warning has experienced numerous line-up changes. From 1982 to 1996 â and temporarily in 2010 â Matheos and DiBiase were the only remaining original members of the band, with Matheos being the only constant member. Their current lineup consists of guitarists Jim Matheos and Frank Aresti, vocalist Ray Alder, bassist Joey Vera, and drummer Bobby Jarzombek. As a pioneer of the American progressive metal movement, Fates Warning rose to international fame in the 1980s and was ranked as one of the early "flagship bands of progressive metal" along with Queensrÿche, who were responsible for creating, developing and popularizing that genre.
Tip: Highlight text to annotate itX
We find ourselves in ruin
and it's come too far, how?
It's no use,
too much allowed and abused.
Worlds apart,
they're excused.
When we're warned
they're amused.
We slip right by and ignore
this sable scene.
We've lives to live,
it's all for one you see.
Why should we think to care,
won't we anyway disappear?
Worlds apart,
they're excused.
Balance waived as we speak.
Praised are those with fashions grand,
self concern leads their plans.
A moment's craze and natural crime
subserves a world to malignant minds.
