First rays of the new rising sun burn my eyes

Sweating and trembling, lying on my bed

What are these dreams of decadence?

Flashes from the past or future visions?

I cannot really understand

Feels like I'm awake even I know I'm sleep

The dawning of the new age

Perfect lives... perfect days... in this new world of grace

All is free... perfect peace... empire of the sun

Once again fully awake and back in reality

A full day of rewarding work ahead

Every soul has got their duty to do

And they are happy to carry their weight

No dissonance, no scratches on the shiny surface

All is too good, too perfect, untrue

And the new age dawns

Time to rise and shine

Wake up from the unreal dream

Come, enjoy the peace

First rays of the new rising sun

And what are these dreams of decadence?

Feels like I'm awake even though I know I'm asleep
