I look down on the citynIt's burning, It's burningnEverything's prettier at nightnThe flames they're all leapingnthey're eating the buildingsnOrion laughs guerre a outrancenThe stars stars are all twinklingnthey're mirroring the dancingnof the flames as they reach towards the skynI'm hoping and I'm praying for a better tomorrownat least one that isn't so brightnnThe fire is growing, engulfing the citynthe flame lick up warming my bonesnthe light is so bright that the stars are forgottennthe only god left is the moonnThe people are crying, shouting, screaming they're dyingnthose living are left without homesnbut their houses were built on the blood of some othernanother who is yet unknownnnAnd i want to go down there and walk through the citynheat from my heart in those flamesnI see someone standing, a stranger in shadowsnI greet him, he calls out my namenI say Rah! we've succeeded, the city is defeatednwe accomplished wherefore we camenHe said fool don't you know that's the work of no mortalnthe sun and the stars are to blamennThe fire has burned out, the embers are coolingnThe ash falls, it looks just like snownThe children who survived and the ghosts of those who didn'tnare playing like there's no tomorrownin the center of the city, the old gods are gatherednto survey their new masterpiecenthey discuss the pros and the cons of destructionnand welcome the newly deceasednand orions still laughing, hes holding his sidesnas he rolls on the floor in the skynas i realize i'm not an immortalnthe stranger in shadows appears at my side
