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

	I look down on the city
	It' s burning, It' s burning
	Everything' s prettier at night
	The flames are all leaping
	they' re eating the buildings
	Orion laughs guerre a outrance
	The stars are all twinkling
	they' re mirroring the dancing
	of the flames as they reach towards the sky
	I' m hoping and I' m praying for a better tomorrow
	at least one that isn' t so bright
	The fire is growing, engulfing the city
	the flames are warming my bones
	the light is so bright that the stars are forgotten
	the only god left is the moon
	The people are crying, shouting, screaming they' re dying
	those living are left without homes
	but their houses were built on the blood of some mother
	another who is yet unknown
	And I want to go down there and walk through the city
	heat from my heart in those flames
	I see someone standing, a stranger in shadows
	I greet him, he calls out my name
