Stained glass memories of a broken dream
time of progress, a time of steam
Chimneys billowing across the sky
time of conquest, a time to die

Riding, riding, riding on the waves
time that never was, [bad word] the old ways
Riding, riding, riding on the waves of steam
On the waves of steam

It could be you! Could be me!
Could be us, just wait and see! [bad word] hearts and minds
Are all that we will leave behind!

Times are changing
Rearranging

Cathedral spires glisten in the sun
While down below war has begun
new invention to save us all
brand new cause for our downfall!

Riding, riding, riding on the waves x4

Riding, riding, riding on the waves
time that never was, [bad word] the old ways
Riding, riding, riding on the waves of steam
On the waves of steam

It could be you! Could be me!
Could be us, just wait and see! [bad word] hearts and minds
Are all that we will leave behind!
