Heliopolis

Lyrics for Heliopolis

Heliopolis in flames alight, a flickering and rebirth Enlightened night overthrown by a place of shame The scorched sky converts night You wish for light to call Face to face with the madness The call of fate to save us all Daily horror that brings you sadness When smoke arises from the planes With a loud, triumphant sigh I always bleed, I always heal I live to die anew, it breaks me, it burns me... All around us is just decay There's no means to wash the pain away You will turn your head and say I always only cared about me Heliopolis in flames alight, a flickering and rebirth Enlightened night overthrown by a place of shame The scorched sky converts night You wish for light to call Face to face with the madness The call of fate to save us all Daily horror that brings you sadness When the darkest tempest roars Passes by with quiet wings Landscapes swiftly burn away And fall apart to dust All around us is just decay There's no means to wash the pain away You will turn your head and say I always only cared about me Heliopolis in flames alight, a flickering and rebirth Enlightened night overthrown by a place of shame The scorched sky converts night You wish for light to call Face to face with the madness The call of fate to save us all Daily horror that brings you sadness The memories, the pictures, the melodies, the wars Everything I was, everything I earned Grasped in my claws All around us is just decay There's no means to wash the pain away You will turn your head and say I just cared about -- me No more years of waiting The final days, the conflagration Feathers falling from my wings now - Here comes sunset Heliopolis in flames alight, a flickering and rebirth Enlightened night overthrown by a place of shame The scorched sky converts night You wish for light to call Face to face with the madness The call of fate to save us all Daily horror that brings you sadness
