The Crying City

The capital of the kingdom
Is this city
And there is no place any bug could claim
Is more pretty

The rain brings us peace
As we're down on our knees
The infection may reign
But we will never cease

The fading light called parts of this place
Her own
But a king arrived, claiming this place
His home

Her subjects were his
And all of them rejoiced
So to not be forgotten
The light, she had no choice

One by one, the people changed
To husks, they forgot what they knew
Everything they stood for was gone, gone, gone
If only this kingdom could be built anew

The crying city's wails
Reverberate
The light that showed them love
Showed them her hate

They turned their backs on her
Not many stayed by her side
It wasn't enough, those who tried

It isn't that she wanted
Them to die
She just wanted to be
Their light

To be forgotten
Was her greatest fear
And yet, now she is here

So one by one, the people changed
To husks, they forgot what they knew
Everything they stood for was gone, gone, gone
If only this kingdom could be built anew

The fading light called parts of this place
Her own
But a king arrived, claiming this place
His home

Her subjects were his
And all of them rejoiced
So to not be forgotten
The light, she had no choice

So one by one, the people changed
To husks, they forgot what they knew
Everything they stood for was gone, gone, gone
If only this kingdom could be built anew
