G#                    F#
Once you had nothing more than
the bed that we shared
G#                    F#
When we were making plans,
            C#           F#
sketching dreams in the air
          G#
We were young
Now we wake from the dream
Stumble bleary-eyed,
         C#                F#               G#
find ourselves at the gates of a new golden age

Chorus:
           F#            C#      G#
New golden age learning how to fly
 A#m    F#                 C#      G#

     A#m      F#                C#
The landscape is strange we are torn
 G#/C#     A#m    G#  F#
apart and yet we are alive
                  G#
In the new golden age

Well, we could walk so tall
holding love as our shield
We had a simple plan, started making it real
I am proud
But I'm afraid, but don't trust myself
There's no route, no map,
no light guiding our way,
guiding our way through the

Chorus:
New golden age learning how to fly
Picking our way through a violent sky
Starting again we are torn
apart and yet we are alive
In the new golden age

In the new golden age
In the new golden age

In the new golden age
In the new golden age
In the new golden age
In the new golden age
