Someone to Blame

Fire in a barren jungle
Where predators watch their prey
Thunder clapped across the meadow
And clouds covered the light of day

Then began the collapsing
Of the heartless game they're playing
They stand and watch as the city burns down
As long as someone to blame is around

Fortress on a new horizon
messengers sung like sirens
Bringing sailors to mesmerize them
Once made of promise now shown the end

Of all the songs that they were singing,
one melody kept ringing and ringing,
a story told of a forgotten king,
who fell to an empire much bigger than he

Then began the collapsing
Of the heartless game they're playing
They stand and watch as the city burns down
As long as someone to blame is around

And all the thoughts of a people broken
Were finally put to shame
The final calls of a hopeless nation
Bound down by chains

And then came the collapsing
Of the heartless game they're playing
they stand and watch as the city burns down
With no one to blame around

And then I saw the collapsing
Of the heartless game they're playing
and I stood and watched as the city burns down
And all with no one to blame around
