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