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