Look At the Cities Burning
Look at the cities burning
You think your heroes will save you
But they're the ones with the matches
Dousing your cities in gasoline
And what of your God
He sits on a throne up high
As the world below burns
For even God is afraid of the scourge
That is called humanity
Through death we supposedly find life eternal
But life on Earth is life infernal
I'm tired of feeling pain
Lost to false prophets and lying idols
So for now I will bathe in the shadows so I can
Look at the cities burning
My clothing is now painted black
Look at the cities burning
The inverted cross is around my neck
Look at the cities burning
Praise be to the Fallen Angel
Look at the cities burning
For I have found salvation in damnation
Look at the cities burning
...Look at them
