A Golden Age Lyrics - Singles - Hine Rupert

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
