The Crying City Lyrics

The capital of the kingdom

Is this city

And there is no place any bug could claim

Is more pretty

The rain brings us peace

As we're down on our knees

The infection may reign

But we will never cease

The fading light called parts of this place

Her own

But a king arrived, claiming this place

His home

Her subjects were his

And all of them rejoiced

So to not be forgotten

The light, she had no choice

One by one, the people changed

To husks, they forgot what they knew

Everything they stood for was gone, gone, gone

If only this kingdom could be built anew

The crying city's wails

Reverberate

The light that showed them love

Showed them her hate

They turned their backs on her

Not many stayed by her side

It wasn't enough, those who tried

It isn't that she wanted

Them to die

She just wanted to be

Their light

To be forgotten

Was her greatest fear

And yet, now she is here

So one by one, the people changed

To husks, they forgot what they knew

Everything they stood for was gone, gone, gone

If only this kingdom could be built anew

The fading light called parts of this place

Her own

But a king arrived, claiming this place

His home

Her subjects were his

And all of them rejoiced

So to not be forgotten

The light, she had no choice

So one by one, the people changed

To husks, they forgot what they knew

Everything they stood for was gone, gone, gone

If only this kingdom could be built anew
