Am G#m
I look down on the city
Gm F#m
It's burning, It's burning
Fm Fm E E
Everything's prettier at night
Am G#m
The flames are all leaping
Gm F#m
they're eating the buildings
Fm Fm E E
Orion lets give her a chance
Am G#m
The stars are all twinkling
Gm F#m
they're mirroring the dancing
Fm Fm E E
of the flames as they reach towards the sky
Am G#m Gm F#m
I'm hoping and I'm praying for a better tomorrow
Fm Fm E E
atleast one that isn't so bright
Am G#m Gm F#m Fm Fm E E x2
Am G#m Gm F#m
The fire is growing, engulfing the city
Fm Fm E E
the flames that are warming my bones
Am G#m Gm F#m
the light is so bright that the stars are forgotten
Fm Fm E E
the only god left is the moon
Am G#m Gm F#m
The people are crying, shouting, screaming they're dying
Fm Fm E E
those living are left without homes
Am G#m Gm F#m
but their houses were built on the blood of some mother
Fm Fm E E
another who is yet unknown
Am G#m Gm F#m Fm Fm E E x2
Am G#m Gm F#m
And i want to go down there and walk through the city
Fm Fm E E
heat from my heart in those flames
Am G#m Gm F#m
I see someone standing, a stranger in shadows
Fm Fm E E
I greet him, he calls out my name
Am G#m Gm F#m
I say "Ra we've succeeded, the city is defeated
Fm Fm E E
we accomplished wherefor we came"
Am G#m Gm F#m
He says "fool don't you know that's the work of no mortal
Fm Fm E E
the sun and the stars are to blame"
Am Am F F D#m D#m D#m D#m x3
Am G#m Gm F#m Fm Fm E E
Am G#m Gm F#m Fm Fm E G#
Am G#m Gm F#m
The fire has burned out, the embers are cooling
Fm Fm E E
The ash falls, it looks just like snow
Am G#m Gm F#m
The children who survived and the ghosts of those who didn't
Fm Fm E E
are playing like there's no tomorrow
Am G#M Gm F#m
in the center of the city, the old gods are gathered
Fm Fm E E
to survey their new masterpiece
Am G#m Gm F#m
they discuss the pros and the cons of destruction
Fm Fm E E
and welcome the newly deceased
Am G#m Gm F#m
and orions still laughing, hes holding his sides
Fm Fm E E
as he rolls on the floor in the sky
Am G#m Gm F#m
as i realize i'm not an immortal
Fm Fm E E
the stranger in shadows appears at my side
