[00:08.72]I look down on ...
[00:08.72]I look down on the city
[00:11.16]It's burning, It's burning
[00:15.01]Everything's prettier at night
[00:22.05]The flames are all leaping
[00:24.80]They're eating the buildings
[00:27.92]Orion laughs "guerre à outrance"
[00:33.91]The stars are all twinkling
[00:37.08]They're mirroring the dancing
[00:39.40]Of the flames as they reach towards the sky
[00:44.08]I'm hoping and I'm praying for a better tomorrow
[00:50.77]At least one that isn't so bright
[00:54.64]
[01:18.53]The fire is growing, engulfing the city
[01:23.21]The flame lick up warming my bones
[01:27.51]The light is so bright that the stars are forgotten
[01:32.95]The only god left is the moon
[01:38.83]The people are crying, shouting, screaming they're dying
[01:43.86]Those living are left without homes
[01:48.68]But their houses were built on the blood of some other
[01:53.17]Another who is yet unknown
[01:57.49]
[02:18.73]And I want to go down there and walk through the city
[02:23.47]Heat from my heart in those flames
[02:28.79]I see someone standing, a stranger in shadows
[02:33.47]I greet him, he calls out my name
[02:38.25]I say "Rah! we've succeeded, the city is defeated
[02:43.44]We accomplished wherefor we came"
[02:48.02]He says "Fool, don't you know that's the work of no mortal
[02:52.45]The sun and the stars are to blame"
[02:55.32]
[03:49.82]The fire has burned out, the embers are cooling
[03:54.47]The ash falls, it looks just like snow
[03:59.58]The children who survived and the ghosts of those who didn't
[04:04.28]Are playing like there's no tomorrow
[04:09.34]In the center of the city, the old gods are gathered
[04:14.14]To survey their new masterpiece
[04:19.76]They discuss the pros and the cons of destruction
[04:24.22]And welcome the newly deceased
[04:28.97]And Orion's still laughing, he's holding his sides
[04:34.67]As he rolls on the floor in the sky
[04:38.77]As I realize that I'm not an immortal
[04:43.57]The stranger in shadows appears at my side
