Silver and Gold

Last night I dreamt that they dropped a bomb Oh the sea ran dry and the winds had calmed Skyscrapers fell, they all turned to dust, Their skeletons of steel were covered in rust And everything I loved and feared had all at once disappeared Oh everything I loved and feared had all at once disappeared Colours were drained straight from the sky And nothing living had survived The mountains were merely removed from the earth 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, Suddenly it was 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
