[Intro]
All the good are dreaming-locked in half-forgotten lore
Proclaiming: "we are free!" and sullenly obey
Is irony a muse, dichotomy embellished...
...in a world that knows no love?
...in a world that knows no hate?

[Verse 1]
Half of me is gone
The rest will soon be leaving
All trace erased in rain
Vanity is fleeting
And so, the fall from grace
Oh god, what have they done?
The victims venerate...
...or am I only dreaming?
...or am I only dreaming?

[Verse 2]
There're rumours of a saint
A wrath incarnate, ringed in flame
The righteous cower and hide
Fearing punishment and blame
Beyond this there is nothing
In duty all will pray...
...and are we only dreaming?
...and are we only dreaming?
[Chorus]
The decline or the ascension
Aimless, failing, self-assured
The righteous path to destiny that humanity won’t endure
Artificial, ringing hollow
Laments for what is gone
Running backwards, crying forward like a battle can be won
How can anyone place trust in fate...
...when hopes are left to die?
Uncaring of the common plight unless forced to care and cry
We're particles in motion
We can't accept we’ve no control
Racing helpless through the aether
Staring outward from the world...

[Outro]
...or am I only dreaming?
Dreaming
...and are we only dreaming?
...are we only dreaming...
...of the electric sun?
...of the electric sun?

...of the electric sun?
