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.
