Like a beacon on a rocky outcrop

Like an ember in the dead of night

Like the dart that makes the quarry's heart stop

You would not go down without a fight

The city is collapsing all around us

The sky is glowing orange and red

A city of ghostly ashes surrounds us

The fire hungers even as it's fed

Skeletal trees reach for the sky

Arms swaying in the toxic air

Never will they reach, but they still try

Battered, blackened, and bare

The city is collapsing all around us

The sky is glowing orange and red

A city of ghostly ashes surrounds us

The fire hungers even as it's fed

Wisps of smoke are all that remain

Of the thousands who once were here

Nothing can e'er again be the same

Now they've had their deadly dose of fear

The city is collapsing all around us

The sky is glowing orange and red

A city of ghostly ashes surrounds us

The fire hungers even as it's fed

The fire hungers even as it's fed
