Lyrics
Gone Are The Days
Gone are the days when the band used to play
With broken down rhythm
For next-to-no pay
Fired up heroes with wild-eyed stares
Counting the flowers girls?d wear in their hair
And then it was gone, gone
And then it was gone, gone?
Prayers spoke in whispers, the candles were lit
Blinding explosions, we all took the hit
The drone of a TV in the mid-August heat
Gunned down in glory, all glued to our seats
And then it was gone, gone
And then it was gone, gone?
How do we lose our way?
We move like the mist in the main
Waiting for a kingdom to come
And finding we fade before dawn?
We killed us a legend and a leader or two
And you still don?t know me,
And I still don?t know you
Do we stand up and rail against the night as she falls
Or do we just say goodbye
To the grace in us all?
As if it were gone, gone
As if it were gone, gone?
