City of Gold (A Warning on the Horizon Reprix)

A long time ago
Two travelers on the road
Were looking for a city made of gold
They'd be searching far and wide
And been wasting lots of time
Believing everything they had been told
But sometimes when you're tired
And you need to feel inspired
You'll find yourself in an unexpected place
"So we return to our seekers
Who set off without a teacher
To help them out when things didn't go their way..."

This world makes him tired
And though we just got higher
We ain't got nothing left to keep us hanging around
He made the suggestion
And I asked no questions
We left the same day for a city made of gold
For a city made of gold...

If only things had gone our way
Then this wouldn't be so hard to say
We're so far gone we've lost our way
Give us some time to save the day

Since we made it out here
I'll say this once just loud and clear
Don't waste your time on what others say they'll only bring you down
What you see in your reflection
Is your only real protection
And if it's what you want to do go find that city of gold
Go find that city of gold

If only things had gone our way
Then this wouldn't be so hard to say
We're so far gone we've lost our way
Give us some time to save the day

In the morning they'll arise
And start to wonder why
They're traveling down the road
Without a place to go
So remember what I said
About those ideas in your head
Get past the time you've sold
Searching for that city of gold

If only things had gone our way
Then this wouldn't be so hard to say
We're so far gone we've lost our way
Give us some time to save the day
