The years had passed me by
The seasons made no sense
The blinding snow had come
My tracks had disappeared
This is the new age
And everything has changed
Somehow we're lost again
Forever children

Soft comes the night
Come take my hand
While the weary world is sleeping
The night is ours again

But I remember you still
The nights you carried me
Our path had disappeared
Trampled by promise
I was the honored
Then I was the scorned
Hidden Underground
Buried by the storm

This can't be real
I hear, see, touch and taste what you feel
How can you reason with the sleepers
This wasn't what we had expected
This wasn't the dream
we'd held in our hearts
This wasn't the life we had planned
This is Not
Our world

This is the new age
And everything has changed
Shut it all away and take my hand
And the world is ours again

Soft comes the night
Come take my hand
While the moon her watch is keeping
And the world is ours again

We'd fallen through the ice
Somehow we've survived
The numbness you get used to
But we're still waiting
The new generation
Someday they will come
And search our hollow hills
To seek answers

Soft comes the night
Come take my hand
Soft the drowsy hours are creeping
And the world is ours again
