Cities in Dust
Water was running, children were running
You were running out of time
Under the mountain, a golden fountain
Were you praying at the Lares shrine?
But, oh-oh, oh, your city lies in dust, my friend
Oh-oh, oh, your city lies in the dust, my friend
We found you hiding, we found you lying
Choking on the dirt and sand
Your former glories, and all the stories
Dragged and washed with eager hands
But, oh-oh, oh, your city lies in dust, my friend
Oh-oh-oh, oh, your city lies in dust, my friend
Your city lies in the dust
Water was running, children were running
We found you hiding, we found you lying
Water was running, children were running
We found you hiding, we found you lying
Oh, your city lies in the dust, my friend
Oh-oh, oh, your city lies in the dust, my friend
Hot and burning in your nostrils
Pouring down your gaping mouth
Your molten bodies, a blanket of cinders
Caught in the throes, and-
Oh-oh, oh, your city lies in dust, my friend
Oh-oh, oh, your city lies in dust, my friend
You were running out of time
Under the mountain, a golden fountain
Were you praying at the Lares shrine?
But, oh-oh, oh, your city lies in dust, my friend
Oh-oh, oh, your city lies in the dust, my friend
We found you hiding, we found you lying
Choking on the dirt and sand
Your former glories, and all the stories
Dragged and washed with eager hands
But, oh-oh, oh, your city lies in dust, my friend
Oh-oh-oh, oh, your city lies in dust, my friend
Your city lies in the dust
Water was running, children were running
We found you hiding, we found you lying
Water was running, children were running
We found you hiding, we found you lying
Oh, your city lies in the dust, my friend
Oh-oh, oh, your city lies in the dust, my friend
Hot and burning in your nostrils
Pouring down your gaping mouth
Your molten bodies, a blanket of cinders
Caught in the throes, and-
Oh-oh, oh, your city lies in dust, my friend
Oh-oh, oh, your city lies in dust, my friend
