Towers of gold, twins of stone,

Watching the world from above   

When a century was gone    

And words were penned with love.

Swords held high, footprints of fire

Filling manuscripts with cries

When the prediction was dire

And guns were thought to be right.

Wishes of life, frames of time    

Have been running for the deep

Across illusions and lies.

Did I get lost in between?

I tried to sleep, I dared to dream

Of gentle tears and outspread wings

Reluctant to shiver with fear

As the mountains' peaks were still near.

I tried to jump, I dared to crack

The light hidden into my dark.

I've been pleading for it to fade

Through the days of my lost decade.

Houses of gold, gone unsold 

Bubbling strong before the burst

When a century had turned

And feelings were shared to hurt.

People to seek, wires of needs

Money slipping in few clicks

When we went on our knees.

Shading ghosts behind a screen.

Trials of life, wastes of time

Have undergone in a leap

Of faith and unquiet smiles.

Did we get lost in between?
