From this garden countryside, this city’s flames are reaching high Burning bright this city’s ghastly glow I just keep your hand in mine and listen to the lullaby Played from a tower above the fiery growth We can make it disappear, from the far it’s hard to hear The raspy gasping from the grotesque torch The crazy king laughing loud, an empire in a smoky shroud We just stand and smile as the Earth’s scorched A useless note in a worthless chord In a wasted song tossed overboard Like the things I’ve seen and never want to see again Like Nero’s violin That smile brings a grace to your face as a skein of smoke slowly decays Our lips part to the start of a new day Sunlight creeps across the ash, but you and I don’t notice that A dark art, in our hearts, we’re worlds away We pass by crepe gardenia, ignoring the hysteria In our minds, the time is standing still The Domus Aurea of our bond, we walk away still holding on As the detuned strings sing an awful shrill A useless note in a worthless chord In a wasted song tossed overboard Like the things I’ve seen and never want to see again Like Nero’s violin We amble through the ambient heat, ignoring the ember laden streets Discrete sweet nothings pouring out No, we don’t hear the shadow laughing loud It’s just us in the God-forsaken town A useless note in a worthless chord In a wasted song tossed overboard Like the things I’ve seen and never want to see again Like Nero’s violin
