Heliopolis

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

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

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

[Repeat chorus]
