The city grieves like widows clasping
Folded flags against their hearts
Raindrops feel 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 dawn
That seeks to drown us in the flames
But if we sell our soul
For the chance of gold
Then we'll rue each passing day
And I swore this place was once was alive
The streets all pulse like living veins
Heart point beating crossed with blood
The buildings breathe each time they sway
The 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 dawn
That seeks to drown us in the flames
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 spend 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 dawn
That seeks to drown us in the flames
But if we sell our soul
For the chance of gold
Then we'll rue each passing day
So save our lives
Our lives it's coming clear
Yeah, it's been coming clear to me
We'll never sell our soul
For the chance of gold
And we'll live each passing day
