Silver And Gold

Last night I dreamt that they dropped a bomb

Oh the sea ran dry and the winds had calmed

Skyscrapers fell, and crumbled to dust

Their skeletons of steel were covered in rust

And everything I loved and feared had all at once disappeared

Colours were drained straight from the sky

And nothing living had survived

The mountains were merely removed from the earth

Silver and gold had lost all its worth

And everything I loved and feared had all at once disappeared

Oh everything I loved and feared had all at once disappeared

I woke from the dream in a cold, cold sweat

I was full of doubt and deep regret

For suddenly it was all so clear to me

There was nothing left in which to believe

And everything I loved and feared had all at once disappeared

Oh everything I loved and feared had all at once disappeared
