I dreamt I saw the cities burning
At the gates I saw the angels cry
Now there'll be no turning
And still I wonder why
I dreamt I felt the hand of reason
Coming slowly down, it passed me by
It's just the killing season
It's a foolish lie
We all run, it's a pity for everyone
It's all gone, and there's nothing that can be done
We all run, so get ready, the time has come
We all run, it's all over, the game is won
And I dreamt I took a thousand footsteps
To a sea as black and filled with tears
Now there'll be no goodness
For a thousand years
I dreamt I crossed a raging river
That was pure and clear and washed away
All my troubles wither
Into another day
The cost is too much
In nothing we trust
Everything we touch
Turns into dust
