lyrics

THE CITY THAT WAITS

It has been waiting
For 20 000 years
To have its sweet revenge
The day they reappear

Invaders from the sky
Came to ravage and ruin
Exploiting all they could and
Leaving it to its undoing

A lost civilization
Across the universe
The city – now forsaken
Breathes a solemn curse

Tireless vigilance
Scan the empty streets
Circuits that won’t forget
And eyes that never sleep

Now something has breached its walls
Intruders have passed through the gate
As life returns to the streets
Ancient arms recharge – to annihilate

For now the waiting is over
Retaliation is close
Invoking a primal memory
The only word it knows:
“Humans”
