Pacific Age lyrics

The Pacific Age

Is growing strong

It's arm's embrace with a killing grace

It shakes your hand as it takes your place

The modern age

Like a slow revenge

A wave that breaks over distant shores

It begs for mercy

And it take some more and more and more

The Pacific Age

Comes down like rain

Washing over us again and again

It's spreading west

Like a speeding train

As the wheels slow down and we lose the game

The Pacific Age

Tells no lies

A dream that calls like an open door

It keeps you hoping

And it takes some more and more and more

The Pacific Age

Comes down like rain

Washing over us again and again

It's spreading west

Like a speeding train

As the wheels slow down and we lose the game

The Pacific Age

Comes down like rain

Washing over us again and again

It's spreading west

Like a speeding train

As the wheels slow down and we lose the game

The Pacific Age

Has no regrets

It feeds on dreams

It wins its bets

A new dawn breaks from east to west

And the plans we made stop making sense

The Pacific Age

It calls your name

It bites you hand, you feel no pain

And racing home. you run in vane

As your heart slows down and you lose the game
