Prologue: The Ruined City

from The Complete Twilight Fields: Part Two by Twilight Fields

/

lyrics

Black rain invades through broken windows
It washes some more of the paint away
A mound of earth covers all the signs
Of the countless lives spent in this place

They are gone now
They are gone now

A murder of crows wheels across grey sky
They’ve never seen anything move on two legs
They perch on the steeples of our arrogance
We cast the gods in our image, such folly

We are gone now
We are gone now

The road, though broken, stretches on
Leading nowhere, it fades into tall grass
The forests stretch on unharmed and unrazed
No one to take and to hate and to hurt
To destroy everything

They are gone now

The earth reclaims what they stole from it
The earth has forgotten they ever lived here

They are gone now
