Song language: English
A Golden Age |
| I can no longer count the dreams |
| Inspired by reconstructions of predicted scenes |
| The glass and metal fragments racing |
| Through the pointless heat |
| I can’t go on believing this |
| Have I lived just to witness the last decade |
| Or a golden age |
| Still I love the way this new wind whistles through my house |
| And papers fly |
| While Orwell’s world is still in doubt |
| And china shivers on a tray |
| I am untimely ripped from all forgotten bliss |
| But not afraid |
| I can’t go on |
| I can’t go on believing this |
| Have I lived just to witness the last decade |
| Or a golden age |
| Could the waiting ever be worse than the shock |
| Suppose the silver key survived |
| To turn inside the rusty lock |
| And you and I be found alive |
| Crouching in our ignorance |
| By children nearly twice our size |
| I can’t go on believing this |
| Have I lived just to witness the last decade |
| Or a golden age |
| Till they eat their words some wild voice churns deep in my blood |
| The prophets sigh |
| We always said you’d never learn |
| Then cynics long to break the brave |
| I wish their mouths all stitched so their persistant hiss |
| Is not obeyed |
| I can’t go on |
| I can’t go on believing this |
| Have I lived just to witness the last decade |
| Or a golden age |
| I do believe there are people needing freedom with good reason |
| Who will find another way |
| There’s no disgrace in understanding |
| Why our planet is in panic |
| Then, while you worry think of everything you miss |
