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