Silver And Gold

Last night I dreamt that they dropped a bomb
Oh the seas ran dry and the winds had calmed
The skyscrapers fell, and crumbled to dust
And 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
Mountains were merely removed from the earth
And 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.
