lyrics

Emerald gates of new cities glare
Under the golden sun
There’s televised terror so you hide your sons
I swear you’re not the only one
To see
All that this could be
I see it too
Deep inside my sleep
Don’t you remember the days that we would laugh together
When did all that go away
The sky cries for us and we call it
Rain

Silver statues of powerful people
Gleaming under the moonlight
We tried to tear them down but there was
No putting up a fight
So they still stood strong and tall
I pray rain clouds will take them all
And rain
Will drain them all away
But time has past
Days have gone
My family taken into the sun
Hope to see them again one day
Living in gold coated memories

Born into a house on fire dying with a cane
Living life uninspired nothing here to gain
The world was cold and you were tired you were tired you were tired
The world was cold and you were tired you were tired you were
Born into a house on fire dying with a cane
Living life uninspired nothing here to gain
The world was cold and you were tired you were tired you were tired
The world was cold and you were tired you were tired you were

We walk this road together until the lights go out
Keep burning on keep burning on while they hold us in this drought
Felt a cold much colder take all the warmth I’ve known
Colder colder colder than fields of ash and bone
So someday when we’re no more than fossils in the snow
Keep burning on keep burning on burn beyond the cold
Felt a cold much colder take all the warmth I’ve known
And let it
Grow

See it
Once in awhile
Dream it
Over and over
Find it
Innocent wanderer
Where you
Least expected
See it
Once in awhile
Dream it
Over and over
