lyrics

The city lived...
As though denying anything had happened
As though there hadn’t been any change
And in the streets
The people kept performing their routines
As if they still made any sense

Somebody fixed the windows and doors
As if they could stand the incoming frost
Another brought out his items to sell,
As if the coin would matter anymore
An old tramp kept on rummaging
In a garbage pile near the marketplace
Some young people were fighting so savagely
As if a winner would have more time to stay
Alive...
Yet the cold wind grew colder.

The city lived...
Some eerie glow had enshrouded the skies
And no one knew nor asked another what it was
And in the streets
We simply kept on clinging to the things
We got used to throughout our lives

Somebody fixed the windows and doors
As if they could stand the perpetual frost
Another brought out his books to sell,
As if their wisdom still matter'd anymore
An old priest kept on summoning
The believers to pray their despair away
Reporters swooped down on the passers-by...
Maybe burning newspapers will help us to stay
Alive -
Just a little bit longer...
