The lights are busted and so the movie goes silent One thousand birds, Egyptian and science It's this slow descent keeping me quiet I never thought I'd be here in this silence On Paris time while London wails Sun drenched skies give me hail Staying up seems to make me late Wake me up from these neutral days Golden age of time moves on... Golden age of time moves on... Below the avenues long live the shadows where we once danced Gone are the vampires buried by miles in black sand Then the stars fall like doves This golden age of time moves on The stars fall like doves This golden age of time moves on Touched with fire Touched with fire Fire Below the avenues gone are the sultans from the badlands Long live the history in the glass grains of these modern sands This slow moving glacier carves the easy way inland Time wave zero meets the Golden age as we slow down to move in Move in Touched with fire
