When I was young,
my old man told me
we were one of the greatest countries in history.
Lighthouses were built in ways our ancestors never could have imagined.
We had ports and fleets in nearly every city,
and we won a lot of wars.
My dream was to be a sailor and explore the seas.
But then that thing happened.
Dad became quiet ever after
it destroyed everything.
Looking back now,
I realize how beautiful my childhood was.
But it's like an old mixtape that was destined to break.
But you just can't stop thinking about what if...
What if...
So that's my story.
Now,
What's yours?

Lyrics
I've always known we were the envy of the world–
that's what our songs would say.
I used to lay awake and dream of our return
to better days;
The Golden Age.
Maybe I'm a fool-ol-ol to be singing the choruses of old.
Maybe I'm a fool-ol-ol to be thinking their promises are true.
Oo-oo-oh, you can call me what you want.
'Cause when all is said and done,
the better days will come.
Oo-oo-oh, you can doubt me if you want.
But our shadow days are done,
the Golden Age will come!
We're gonna weather every raging storm.
My tune will never ever change.
I'll be the shining beacon lighting up our way back home
to better days;
the Golden Age.
Maybe I'm a fool-ol-ol to be singing the choruses of old.
Maybe I'm a fool-ol-ol, but believe me, my promises are true.
Oo-oo-oh, you can call me what you want.
'Cause when all is said and done,
the better days will come.
Oo-oo-oh, you can doubt me if you want.
But our shadow days are done,
the Golden Age will come!
Oo-oo-oh (Not a pipe dream, not a pipe dream!) [×3]
Aa-aa-aa-ah-ah-ah.
You can try to hold our future ransom,
you can try to leave us deep in famine.
Doesn't matter 'cause I won't abandon ship, no!
Did you know that all our greatest anthems
write themselves as we return from hell?
You'll be hearing all our greatest anthems
on and on and on and on!
When it dawns on us again,
the sun
will be shining bright again.
Did you know that all our greatest anthems
write themselves as we return from hell?
You'll be hearing all our greatest anthems
on and on and on and on!
Oo-oo-oh, you can call me what you want.
'Cause when all is said and done,
the better days will come.
Oo-oo-oh, you can doubt me if you want.
But our shadow days are done,
the Golden Age will come!
Will come, oo-oh yeah!
The Golden Age will come! [×2]
(Yeah, I know.)
(The Golden Age.)
(It's gonna come,)
(it's gonna come.)
