The Arena - 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
Words of cunning
shinning stunning
Men of grandeur
blinding, numbing
with winsome wiles in specious styles.
Speeches etching,
Rhyming, wrenching.
Men so shallow
stumble fetching
for words that maze, to clear their daze.
Calm in disarray.
Sinking day by day.
Hopeless never see
save what they believe.
Choices weakening,
ever sinking.
Men are poisoned
into thinking
that they've a voice above their noise.
Spheres of disarray
worsened by the day.
Sadly led and fooled
Without thoughts to rule.
