Golden Cufflinks Lyrics - Sikth

Hear the rattling of carriages again 

While the wizards all wave their wands 

Their golden cufflinks buying up the city now 

They're gonna send a wrecking ball, wrecking 

Cultures lying in pieces 

As the leaves all start to fall 

They got their diggers out 

Bet all get used to the sound 

They're gonna send a wrecking ball wrecking 

The age of mercenaries 

They sapped out energy 

Insipid minds have won 

Rapacious destruction 

Endless digits so they can take control 

Over tin pan alleys row 

All those memories crashing into rubble now 

They went and sent a wrecking ball wrecking 

You say it's a city of the future 

But a future in who's eyes? 

So should I assume yet another bland street bloom 

Guess it's what happens when business means business 

The age of mercenaries 

They sapped out energy 

Insipid minds have won 

Rapacious destruction 

Always somewhere falls 

Underneath the hands of the money men 

Always somewhere falls 

Into the hands of the banal 

Yea the scene shone 

Then it fell below 

Just like creation 

Golden eras come and go 

And the scene shone 

Then it fell below 

Just like creation 

Golden eras come and go 

What are you hoping for? 

I guess it's what you see, not what you want to be 

What are you hoping for? 

You will never even know who you really are 

What were you hoping for? 

I guess it's what you see, not what you want to be 

Defining by digits 

The age of mercenaries 

They sapped out energy 

Insipid minds have won 

Rapacious destruction
