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
