Golden Age
Once I was happy
Oh ignorant I -
It seemed I could do no wrong
Foolish temper
Time passed me by
I finally found out I just don’t belong
Fresh to the eye
Inside, bitter and rotten
The poison is deep while the pleasure is small
Though my story
Is sooner forgotten
It’s a story that plays out for one and for all
They say that the golden age will return
They say that the buildings and cities will burn
They say that crops will grow forth from blood stain
But I will remain
Oh I will remain
“A curse,” the man said
“On you who now follow
“Your fate on this wearisome road
“Turn your back
“Or share in my sorrow
“To stand in a desert where water once flowed.”
They say that the golden age will return
They say that the buildings and cities will burn
They say that crops will grow forth from blood stain
But I will remain
Oh I will remain
Don’t come looking around just for my advice
Cuz I told you twice
You’re better off rolling the dice than following me
If I’ve learned anything it’s to hold my tongue
I have just begun
To open up my eyes
And learn to see
Once I was carefree
Oh, innocent eyes
I knew I could do no wrong
Ask no questions
I’ll tell you no lies
Share in the joy of my innocent song
