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 
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, [bad word] 

And the new age dawns 
Time to rise and shine 
Wake up from the unreal dream [bad word]  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
