City of ashes Lyrics

In the night, the shadows creep Where the concrete beams lay deep

Once a refuge, now a grave Thought this town was safe, a place to save

Flames looking high, a funeral pyre Ignition of madness, a funeral choir

Cars burning bright, a hellish display Innocence lost, drifted away

Why, oh why, do these idiots run? Destroying the haven where we once called home

Please explain the purpose of this reckless game As the city sleeps, its smoulders in shame

A canvas of chaos lit in fire

In this city of ashes, we all conspire All laughter echoes through the night

Their minds are twisted, their souls in flight

Like demons unleashed, they tear at the seams Shattering glass, destroying our dreams

Bitterness flows like blood on the street Wounds left caping, can't feel the heat

Watch the empire crumble, the utopia shatter Hope lost in the flames, nothing left to matter

Why, oh why, do these idiots run? Destroying the haven where we once called home

Please explain the purpose of this reckless game As the city sleeps, its smoulders in shame

A canvas of chaos lit in fire

In this city of ashes, we all conspire

Whispers of a past haunt me tonight Memories fade, lost to the light

Dancing in shadows, the spirits weep For the promises broken into the deep

A pit of despair where hope's buried alive Rising like smoke where the nightmares thrive

Anger ignites, a storm in my chest Bitter resentment stripped of all rest

This place was a haven where laughter ain't clear Now it's a graveyard surrounded by fear

Burning horizons where dreams used to fly In the city of ashes, too wounded to cry

Why, oh why, do these idiots run? Destroying the haven where we once called home

Please explain the purpose of this reckless game As the city sleeps, its smoulders in shame

A canvas of chaos lit in fire

In this city of ashes, we all conspire

So rise from the ashes, embrace the decay Let the fire burn bright, wash the filth away

As the night fades to dawn, we stand here in pain In a city of ashes where nothing remains

From sadness to anger, to bitter sworn In this anthem of chaos, a new life is born
