David J. Ferguson - Dreaming Your Lives Away

Gold and silver, stone and steel
(Broken backs upon the wheel)
Building steps to reach the sky
(Stopping ears to every cry)

Dreaming your lives away
(Till the sun goes down
Till the trumpet call
Till your last tears freeze
In the deep snowfall)

Raising banners, raising hopes
(Bound with still more chains and ropes)
Scooping stars in fours and fives
(Broken hearts and broken lives)

Dreaming your lives away
(Till the air's too thin
Till the rad count soars
Till you hear the sound
Of slamming doors)

You're so, so near the tower's top
(That cheated feeling just won't stop)
Your glory then will never die
(You paid the Earth to touch the sky)

Dreaming your lives away
(Till your eyes are heavy
Till each step's a drag
Till your hand's too numb
To hold the flag)
