The Vanished Frontier

"I am the leaves," lied a blown school bus tire
"I am a tree," lied a burnt mobile home
"I am a stream," lied a pool
"I am the sky," a lie from an old fool
What have I believed in?
How will I deceive me now?
This is the golden age of mankind
Heaven's celestial rays shine on us
All of our wars will end in truth
Or maybe that's the old days
Don't make 'em like they used to
What have I believed in?
How will I deceive me now?
What have I believed in?
How will I deceive me now?
