Cities

As cities sink into the sea

She'd often turn to look at me

And tell me that the worst was yet to come

The mind I said despairs too fast

History's a looking glass

But eloquence is withered on my tongue

Through the gates and ever on we go

She and I above and you below

And though we may pretend

The party never ends

If now I love the human race

It's cause we wrote amazing grace

The lost are found the blind can see the light

A chill and zero at the bone

I can't defend you all alone

Do not go gentle into that good night

Through the gates and ever on we go

She and I above and you below

And though we may pretend

The party never ends

So here we are before the the flood

But this time round the skies rain blood

The end of all there ever was foretold

I watch as countless cities burn

We've ever lost our chance to learn

The triumph of our breathless sin behold

Through the gates and ever on we go

She and I above and you below

And though we may pretend

The party never ends
