Betrayed!
(We were golden)
(The shining prophet all aflame!)

Light fleeing through the crack
Beneath the door
Sliding out and away
This conversation is running out of time
Out of breath and out of line
Rewind, Rewind!

This prophet is all aflame!
The words all pieces
On assembly line floors
Glass shards from a cracked sun
There isn’t anymore

The gates burst open
Its ten steps back for two steps forward
A strange dance that we’re dying for
The sun a misshapen mirror
And the clouds and burning
Falling embers all around
Each reflection running out of time
Rewind, Rewind!

This prophet is all aflame!
The words all pieces
On assembly line floors
Glass shards from a cracked sun
There isn’t anymore

All we had was golden
All we were was golden

A brilliant prophet all aflame
These things we used to know
All the premonitions won’t mean a thing
And suddenly we’re so very tired
