I look down on the city   It's burning, It's burning   Everything's prettier at night   The flames they're all leaping   they're eating the buildings   Orion laughs "guerre a outrance"   The stars stars are all twinkling   they're mirroring the dancing   of the flames as they reach towards the sky   I'm hoping and I'm praying for a better tomorrow   at least one that isn't so bright      The fire is growing, engulfing the city   the flame lick up warming my bones   the light is so bright that the stars are forgotten   the only god left is the moon   The people are crying, shouting, screaming they're dying   those living are left without homes   but their houses were built on the blood of some other   another who is yet unknown      And i want to go down there and walk through the city   heat from my heart in those flames   I see someone standing, a stranger in shadows   I greet him, he calls out my name   I say "Rah! we've succeeded, the city is defeated   we accomplished wherefore we came"   He said "fool don't you know that's the work of no mortal   the sun and the stars are to blame"      The fire has burned out, the embers are cooling   The ash falls, it looks just like snow   The children who survived and the ghosts of those who didn't   are playing like there's no tomorrow   in the center of the city, the old gods are gathered   to survey their new masterpiece   they discuss the pros and the cons of destruction   and welcome the newly deceased   and orions still laughing, hes holding his sides   as he rolls on the floor in the sky   as i realize i'm not an immortal   the stranger in shadows appears at my side
