The calming warmth of the golden skies Brings dreams to roaming minds and tears to weathered eyes The child quickly grows and gets wise to the word insanity In time it may be told that we destroyed what was left of humanity
Give it up, give it up, whatever this is that I've got Make a toast with an empty cup, here's to the kings and the cowards And when we're suffering, suffering, I'll say I'm sorry but I'm not What would you do with your final hour?
With eyes unfazed We'll watch the cities we built set ablaze We'll find, when they fall, we burnt our own prison walls For a day only dreams will recall
The latent king with too much pride The coward's selfish glance, from the shadows where they hide But when they bring the gavel down, I don't expect anyone will understand But things will come around and give the bravest of us a second chance
Knuckle down, knuckle down, a retribution so sublime Here I stand with my feet on the ground and my head in the rafters Generate, generate, the rebellion of our time The story's ending, whatever ever after
With eyes unfazed We'll watch the cities we built set ablaze We'll find, when they fall, we burnt our own prison walls For a day only dreams will recall
Golden sunshine, a soothing summer breeze Wasting time while kings and cowards built our dreams So are you happy? Are you happy? Are you happy?
Give it up, give it up, whatever this is that I've got Make a toast with an empty cup, here's to the kings and the cowards And when we're suffering, suffering, I'll say I'm sorry but I'm not The story's ending, whatever ever after
With eyes unfazed We'll watch the cities we built set ablaze We'll find, when they fall, we burnt our own prison walls For a day only dreams will recall
