Epic Sigh - We Had The City Lyrics

I miss the city
When the sky turns dark

There was dust in the air
While we looked at the stars

I walked through those blocks of concrete
And those grimy bars

As all your pictures burn
So do I
I made it clear so you will never
Wonder why

I had to go!
Walked away from it all
Ran away from
You!

We never thought
About today

The future never thinks about
The past

We tried, can say we did our best
While the sirens wept for us

As all your pictures burn
So do we!

We burned it all
The darkest sky became alight
With the flames of our
.fall

Of our fall

I miss the city
Where the sky turns dark

There was dust in the air
While we ignored all the stars

I walked through those blocks of concrete
And those grimy bars

Felt all your pain then
As I can feel it now

Was never that good
And it was never so bad

This is what we do
We remember what we

Had

(I walked through those blocks of concrete
And those grimy bars)

Had!

(The future never thinks about
The past)

(Fire burned as they called the police
Sirens screamed as you were put your knees
The sky was dark and the lights were on me
I had to run and by now you should've known me)

Had

Fall

Dark!

Walls!

No No No No No!

Fire!

Burned!

Fall!

I miss the city
Where the sky turns dark

There was dust in the air
While we ignored all the stars

I walked through those blocks of concrete
And those grimy bars

Knew all your plans then
As I live them now

I tried to warn you
But I didn't know

(How)
How!

How?

Had

Fall

Dark!

Walls!

Fire

Burns

Hot

Sparks!

Knees

Lights

Running

Sight.
