This city grieves, like widows clasping
Folded flags against their hearts
Raindrops spill like dirt and roses
On black coffins in the dark
Not yet corpses, still we rot
Oblivious to our decay
Drinking poison drop by drop
Destined to die
Unless we save our lives
From the coming tide
That seeks to drown us in it's waves
But if we sell our soul
For the chance of gold
Then we'll rue each passing day
And I swore this place was once was alive
The streets all pulsed like living veins
Heart worth beating, coarse with blood
The buildings breathe each time they sway
The time of death
Punctuated by the bells
The sky turned red
Then came the rain!
Come on, let's save our lives
From the coming tide
That seeks to drown us in it's waves
But if we sell our soul
For the chance of gold
Then we'll rue each passing day
They drown, they'll crush you from the top
I'd rather die, I would rather chase them down
These worlds are crashing forward, they try to set alight
Build our true fates while they drown
Like fallen soldiers on these fields
We spared our lives
Bodies hurled up on the wheels
I swear we tried
I gave up on on this godforsaken sight
And felt it all pass by
Come on, let's save our lives
From the coming tide
That seeks to drown us in it's waves
But if we sell our soul
For the chance of gold
Then we'll rue each passing day!
So save our
(Save our lives)
Our lives, it's coming clear
Yeah it's becoming clear
(Coming clear)
To me
We'll never sell our soul
(Sell our soul)
For the chance of gold
And we'll live each passing day
