Blighted Quarter
The flooded lands on the edge of the hold
Untenable lan
Non-arable land left overgrown, left to the cold
But still an ember glows
And a wildflower blooms when left alone
There is a beauty
Blighted quarter, a people abandoned
The buildings, they will crumble, but the spirit never dies
In the streets, no children play
And the carrion prey
Discarded banners from a better day
But through an open window
You can hear somebody singing
And the vultures turn their heads
And they lift their heavy wings
Blighted quarter, a people forgotten
A hunger may contort them, but the will can never die
Their lord, he would deny them
But the spirit will defy
The spirit will defy
Blighted quarter, a people forgotten
A hunger may contort them, but the will can never die
Blighted quarter, a people forgotten
The buildings, they will crumble, but the spirit never dies
Untenable lan
Non-arable land left overgrown, left to the cold
But still an ember glows
And a wildflower blooms when left alone
There is a beauty
Blighted quarter, a people abandoned
The buildings, they will crumble, but the spirit never dies
In the streets, no children play
And the carrion prey
Discarded banners from a better day
But through an open window
You can hear somebody singing
And the vultures turn their heads
And they lift their heavy wings
Blighted quarter, a people forgotten
A hunger may contort them, but the will can never die
Their lord, he would deny them
But the spirit will defy
The spirit will defy
Blighted quarter, a people forgotten
A hunger may contort them, but the will can never die
Blighted quarter, a people forgotten
The buildings, they will crumble, but the spirit never dies
