Dirt And Roses |
This city grieves like widows clasping folded flags against their hearts |
Raindrops spill like dirt and roses on black coffins in the dark |
Not yet corpses, still we rot, oblivious to our decay |
Drinking poison, drop by drop, destined to die |
Unless we save our lives |
From the coming tide |
That seeks to drown us in its waves |
But if we sell our soul |
For the chance of gold |
Then we’ll rue each passing day |
And I swear this place was once alive |
The streets all pulsed like living veins |
Heart worth beating, coarse with blood |
The buildings breathe each time they sway |
Time of death |
Punctuated by the bells |
The sky turned red |
Then came the rain |
Come on let’s save our lives |
From the coming tide |
That seeks to drown us in its waves |
But if we sell our soul |
For the chance of gold |
Then we’ll rue each passing day |
They drown, they’ll crush you from the top |
I’d rather die |
I would rather chase them down |
These worlds are crashing forward |
They try to set alight |
Build our true fates while they drown |
Like fallen soldiers on these fields |
We spared our lives |
Bodies hurled up on the wheels |
I swear we tried |
I gave up on this godforsaken sight |
And felt it all pass by |
Come on let’s save our lives |
From the coming tide |
That seeks to drown us in its waves |
But if we sell our soul |
For the chance of gold |
Then we’ll rue each passing day |
So save our |
(Save our lives) |
Our lives |
It’s coming clear |
Now it’s becoming clear |
(Coming clear) |
To me… |
We’ll never sell our soul |
For the chance of gold |
And we’ll live each passing day |
