Bbm C#
Water was running, children were running
F# D#
You were running out of time
Bbm C#
Under the mountain, a golden fountain
F# D#
Were you praying at the Lares shrine?
Bbm C# F# D#
But ohh oh your city lies in dust, my friend
Bbm C# F# D#
ohh oh your city lies in dust, my friend
Bbm C#
We found you hiding, we found you lying
F# D#
Choking on the dirt and sand
Bbm C#
Your former glories and all the stories
F# D#
Dragged and washed with eager hands
But ohh oh your city lies in dust, my friend
ohh oh your city lies in dust, my friend
your city lies in dust
Water was running, children were running
We found you hiding, we found you lying
Water was running; children were running
We found you hiding, we found you lying
your city lies in dust
ohh oh your city lies in dust, my friend
Hot and burning in your nostrils
Pouring down your gaping mouth
Your molten bodies blanket of cinders
Caught in the throes .......
Ohh oh your city lies in dust, my friend
Ohh oh your city lies in dust, my friend
Ohh oh your city lies in dust, my friend
Ohh oh your city lies in dust, my friend
Your city lies in dust
