The Golden City

a shining city of marble and gold

towers tall and noble

architecture of filigree perfection twined with roses

golden sunshine from the shining sky golden goo in its flowing waters

golden goo that whispers love and promises

and names itself the strange

a pretty face on shattered decay

sun goes down, moon comes up

silver bleeds the beasts that walk the streets

as the city falls to rot

come with us, be our love, be our love and pain

come and join our dreams

majesty falls, majesty rises, majesty falls

and over all She* presides

have you hurt a friend today? please do!

underneath underneath underneath it's always night

underneath it's always moon

underneath blood runs free

dayside? dayside we pretend to be// sane

but we can't always keep the sun from

falling

back

to

the

old

ways.
