New Lost Ages

[Verse 1]
You'd better get yourself familiar with suffering
Because we're living in a world that we can't understand
And I've tried all kinds of magical thinking
I try to keep the devil away, but our time is at hand
We've written every single line of all the empty pages

[Chorus]
Oh, these new lost ages
Oh, these new lost ages

[Verse 2]
Do you want to live forever in a world like this?
Do you think there'll be a world to live in when these kids have kids?
And would they want to live together in this world we've built?
There'll be a reckoning that's coming for the things we did
Worship every other word of all your golden sages

[Chorus]
Oh, these new lost ages
Oh, these new lost ages

[Verse 3]
There's a steady bell that's ringing out again and again
It echoes higher up these mountains on the valley wind
And I heard it tolling out a warning for the way we've been
And I believe that everyone could hear it if they'd just lean in
If I speak a little hope, I might appear courageous

[Chorus]
Oh, these new lost ages
Oh, these new lost ages
