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
