The Joy Thieves - Cities in Dust

Water was running children were running

You were running out of time

Under the mountain, a golden fountain

Were you praying at the Lares shrine?

But oh your city lies in dust, my friend

Oh, oh your city lies in dust, my friend

We found you hiding we found you lying

Choking on the dirt and sand

Your former glories and all the stories

Dragged and washed with eager hands

But, oh oh your city lies in dust, my friend

Oh 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, my friend

Oh 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

Oh oh your city lies in dust, my friend

Oh your city lies in dust, my friend

Oh oh your city lies in dust, my friend

Oh your city lies in dust, my friend

Your city lies in dust, my friend

Tears for Fears

Five Times August

Remember, Remember...

On Joy

Violent Delights...

[Verse 1]

Had a dream your father died

I couldn't scream, I couldn't cry

The second night, I dreamt you drowned

You couldn't fight, you were not found

[Chorus]

These violent delights

Keep creeping into my nights

And they're reading my rites

And I'll never sleep alone again

And these violent delights

Keep bleeding into the light

And I'll never be right

But they'll never sleep alone again when I'm gone

When I'm gone

[Verse 2]

A photograph will steal your soul

An epitaph won't make you whole

If I disappear, thеy'll say I killed myself

I nevеr feared for my own health

[Chorus]

These violent delights

Keep creeping into my nights

And they're reading my rites

And I'll never sleep alone again

And these violent delights

Keep bleeding into the light

And I'll never be right

But they'll never sleep alone again when I'm gone

When I'm gone

[Bridge]

I don't want to see it

I don't want to see it

I don't want to sleep alone, no

I don't want to see it

I don't want to see it

Never sleep alone again, no

I don't want to see it

I don't want to see it

I don't want to sleep alone, no

I don't want to see it

I don't want to see it

Never sleep alone again when I'm gone

[Chorus]

These violent delights

Keep creeping into my nights

And they're reading my rites

And I'll never sleep alone again

And these violent delights

Keep bleeding into the light

And I'll never be right

But they'll never sleep alone again when I'm gone

When I'm gone

Alone again when I'm gone

When I'm gone
