|
It's so quiet in the ruins |
|
Walking though the old town |
|
Stones crumbling under my feet |
|
I see smoke for miles around |
|
Oh, it's enough to make you weep |
|
All that remains of the main street |
|
Up in the park on |
|
SundayDogs chasing and the children played |
|
Old man with his head down |
|
Can't see nothing more around, no |
|
But he remembers how it used to be |
|
Back in the old days |
|
So nice to see you coming |
|
Back in this town again |
|
It's nice to see a friendly face |
|
Come peeping through |
|
Having tea |
|
In the afternoon, now |
|
So nice to see you coming |
|
Back in this town again |
|
Ah, but it's all changed |
|
Winter turned on a man |
|
Came down on day |
|
When no one was looking |
|
And it stole away the land |
|
People running scared, losing hands |
|
Dodging shadows of falling sand |
|
Buildings standing like empty shells |
|
And nobody, helping no one else |
|
Young child with his hands high |
|
Ain't able to see no reason why, no |
|
But he remembers how it used to be |
|
So nice to see you coming |
|
Back in this town again |
|
It's nice to see a friendly face |
|
Come peeping through |
|
You'd better know |
|
What you're going through now |
|
You came back here to find |
|
Your home is a black horizon |
|
That you don't recognize |
|
Evil destruction has taken everything |
|
You'd better walk on the side |
|
While you're still walking |
|
Just keep on walking on |
|
Down the street keep your distance |
|
From the people you meet, oh, |
|
LordAnd you'd better watch your eyes' |
|
Cause if smoke gets in them |
|
Baby, you won't rise again |
|
So nice to see you coming |
|
Back in this town again |
|
Where's it leading to |
|
Freedom at what cost |
|
People needing more and more |
|
And it's all getting lost |
|
I want back, |
|
I want back |
|
Back to the time |
|
When the earth was green |
|
And there was no high walls |
|
And the sea was clean |
|
Don't stop that sun to shine |
|
It's not yours or mine, no |
