lyrics
City of gold, every wall shines
Brighter than a thousand suns
People are richer than you could ever imagine
Such beauty
Close to perfection
Out of this world
Come get a closer look
You will see these streets
Turn red
A crimson river flows
Through the veins of the city
Something is gnawing
Everyone's soul
For so long now
No one could tell
When it all started
So many lives lost
Forever
Sacrificed for a greater good
Given to the protector
To satisfy his ferocious appetite
And to keep shining
Come get a closer look
You will see these streets
Turn red
Victims of their own greed
They chose this self-inflicted pain
As a way of life
Did someone already try
To escape this fate
What if the protector dies
Will the walls collapse
For they chose not to know
To stay blinded by the glory of their gold
Brighter than a thousand suns
People are richer than you could ever imagine
Such beauty
Close to perfection
Out of this world
Come get a closer look
You will see these streets
Turn red
A crimson river flows
Through the veins of the city
Something is gnawing
Everyone's soul
For so long now
No one could tell
When it all started
So many lives lost
Forever
Sacrificed for a greater good
Given to the protector
To satisfy his ferocious appetite
And to keep shining
Come get a closer look
You will see these streets
Turn red
Victims of their own greed
They chose this self-inflicted pain
As a way of life
Did someone already try
To escape this fate
What if the protector dies
Will the walls collapse
For they chose not to know
To stay blinded by the glory of their gold

A beautiful journey from start to finish, with perfectly placed moments of gentility amidst the rhythmic intrigue and blast beats of their guest drummer.
