City of Light
Approaching the City of Light
Awaited salvation in sight
White walls so glorious, rising imperious, reaching implausible heights
An army of paupers outside
Running with nowhere to hide
Hoping and reaching, praying, beseeching the City will let us inside
Hear us shout
Else we die
Save us now
War is coming
Exodus nascent in fright
Amoral invaders behind
Rampaging, ravaging, pillaging, savaging; driving us onward in flight
Outside the City of Light
Gates remain locked from inside
Knowing it's hopeless, abandoned defenceless, we consign ourselves here to die
Awaited salvation in sight
White walls so glorious, rising imperious, reaching implausible heights
An army of paupers outside
Running with nowhere to hide
Hoping and reaching, praying, beseeching the City will let us inside
Hear us shout
Else we die
Save us now
War is coming
Exodus nascent in fright
Amoral invaders behind
Rampaging, ravaging, pillaging, savaging; driving us onward in flight
Outside the City of Light
Gates remain locked from inside
Knowing it's hopeless, abandoned defenceless, we consign ourselves here to die
