Those were the golden days But look the gold is gray The shadows and the shade Won't be erased Sky water didn't fall Six months with none at all The headlines hide the haze The world's aflame This burning Earth is turning You are the rain Falling on dark nights and golden days ♪ Midwinter summer days Harmless as hand grenades A manufactured age Will we escape My eyes are burning red But your finger points ahead And underneath the gray The gold remains This burning Earth is turning You are the rain Falling on dark nights and golden days ♪ This burning Earth is turning You are the rain Falling on dark nights and golden days ♪ Those were the golden days But look the gold is gray The shadows and the shade Won't be erased We are just skin and bones We see in sepia tones The world is all aflame
