Death of a Golden Age - Adestria

When it began, this was a place for the outcasts with nowhere to call their home

It was about a release, the world ceased

It was a shelter from the outside

Now it’s about the moves you make

Now it’s about the games you play

It’s not about the dedication

It’s about the industry

You chose the lie over honesty

You put the hype before integrity

Take me back to the days of honest hearts

It was about the passion

It was about the art

(Take me back)

Now it’s your image and who you know

Instead of talent that defines your growth

(Take me back)

We had to learn from our stumbles and falls, when it was all so beautifully

flawed

It used to be about expressing your mind, but now that message is harder and

harder to find

You’re more concerned with what they’ll think then truly saying anything

What once was pure, you tainted

Indifference, you’ve created

Now gimmicks lead to fame

Now everybody sounds the same

You chose the lie over honesty

You put the hype before integrity

Take me back to the days of honest hearts

It was about the passion

It was about the art

(Take me back)

Now it’s your image and who you know

Instead of talent that defines your growth

(Take me back)

We had to learn from our stumbles and falls, when it was all so beautifully

flawed

Take me back to the days of honest hearts

Take me back to when the passion fueled the art

Take me back (take me back)

Take me back, take me back

To the days of honest hearts

Take me back, to the days of honest hearts

Take me back to when the passion fueled the art

Take me back

Take me back!
