We dragged away the burning trees
Tried to find a place to cross
The hills themselves had fallen down
The very land was going to drown
Under sodium skies, ash watery eyes
A widow's town of hope, 'til the end
I'd never been to such a place, too naive in all my haste
There is no comparison to home
As light breaks through this blackened dome
The cries are heard, as departed burn
A widow's town of tears, next life new fears
The world moved away (and so they say)
The world moved away
Empire had nothing to say
So let her smile fade, fade away
The cries are heard, as departed burn
A widow's town of tears, next life new fears
The world moved away (and so they say)
The world moved away
Empire had nothing to say
So let her smile fade, fade away
