Adestria Lyrics
"Death of a Golden Age"

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 (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 (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 fuelled the art

Take me back [3x]
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 fuelled the art

Take me back [2x]
