I look down the street but there's no one there

In the cold, in the dark, in the night air

I call out for life but my heart feels despair

There's no sign of a light in the cold dismal night



The lights have all gone the clothes are all torn

The people are gone but the victory's won

I call out for life but it's after the day

Now the people are gone just the city alone





Eyes look from the second floor

Down to the street below

Calm now the wind is slow

See posters once on the wall

Now washed away in the rain

Peeling from buildings tall





I'll follow you friends to where life never ends

Make our mistakes again as our life lines descend

Time is like dust and the dust is like snow

As it covers the ruins of the life that you know





Trees once green now turned to stone

Objects that look like ghosts

All of them overgrown

Mist all sight and mind is blurred

Lie on your back and cry

Words uttered never heard





I look down the street but there's no one there

In the cold, in the dark, in the night air

I call out for life but my heart feels despair

There's no sign of a light in the cold dismal night





The lights have all gone the clothes are torn

The people are gone but the victory's won

I call out for life but it's after the day

Now the people are gone just the city alone
