I look down the street but there's no one there   In the cold, in the dark, in the night air   I call out for life but my heart feels despair   There's no sign of a light in the cold dismal night      The lights have all gone, the clothes are all torn   The people are gone but the victory's won   I call out for life but it's after the day   Now the people are gone just the city alone      Eyes look from the second floor   Down to the street below   Calm now the wind is slow   See posters once on the wall   Now washed away in the rain   Peeling from buildings tall      I'll follow you friends to where life never ends   Make our mistakes again as our life lines descend   Time is like dust and the dust is like snow   As it covers the ruins of the life that you know      Trees once green now turned to stone   Objects that look like ghosts   All of them overgrown   Mist all sight and mind is blurred   Lie on your back and cry   Words uttered never heard      I look down the street but there's no one there   In the cold, in the dark, in the night air   I call out for life but my heart feels despair   There's no sign of a light in the cold dismal night      The lights have all gone, the clothes are torn   The people are gone but the victory's won   I call out for life but it's after the day   Now the people are gone just the city alone
