Land of Lost Peace

Like a storm that sweeps away the living
rain that drowns the people of giving 
What is life only dust in the air
And people left in despair
A life so free but bound in heart
Was once overwhelmed with happiness 
Where is the city? 
Which was ones large and grand
Oh what city of great splendid 
that now lays In ruins extended
Dark and gloomy days that Cover the city
As people are watching their loved ones return
A city of great music 
Now lays sobbing under the dust 
Nothing but darkness that surrounds 
And people alive but as corpse lying everywhere
oh what gloomy days are we in
people raging among themselves 
that we have destroyed the city by ourselves
