The wind whispers how trite it seems
Broken words through shattered dreams -
Stained glass shards upon concrete -
Who cares if they'll ever be complete?
No more will shine the colored lights
That once was God for proselytes
And now with no one left to see
Who cares about what we believe?
The scent of ashes: heavy, cloying
Like playful sprites, more than half-toying
Upon these dead and empty streets -
Who cares with no hearts to skip a beat?
If any souls looked, flying by,
Upon this beast that's slowly died
Upon the threshold of eternity,
Who'd care for thoughts that none can mete?
Weightless and hollow in an empty world,
Who'd care if all this sand were pearls,
Or who'd care for burning memories,
If the city were razed to plant more trees?
