Cities in Dust

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Water was running, children were running You were running out of time Under the mountain, a golden fountain Were you praying at the Lares shrine? [Chorus] But oh-ooh-oh, oh, your city lies in dust, my friend Oh-ooh-oh, oh, your city lies in dust, my friend [Verse 2] We found you hiding, we found you lying Choking on the dirt and sand Your former glories, and all the stories Dragged and washed with eager hands [Chorus] But oh-ooh-oh, oh, your city lies in dust, my friend Oh-ooh-oh, oh, your city lies in dust, my friend Your city lies in dust [Bridge] Water was running, children were running We found you hiding, we found you lying Water was running, children were running We found you hiding, we found you lying [Chorus] Your city lies in dust, my friend Oh-ooh-oh, oh, your city lies in dust, my friend [Verse 3] Hot and burning in your nostrils Pouring down your gaping mouth Your molten bodies, blanket of cinders Caught in the throes, and [Chorus] Woah-ooh-oh, your city lies in dust, my friend Woah-ooh-oh, oh, your city lies in dust, my friend Woah-ooh-oh, oh, your city lies in dust, my friend Woah-ooh-oh, oh, your city lies in dust, my friend [Outro] Your city lies in dust, my friend Woah-ooh-oh, oh, your city lies in dust, my friend Woah-ooh-oh, oh, your city lies in dust, my friend
