Babylon was built on fire
And the bones of useless machines
It hurt to breathe
You fell away from me
Packs of helicopters divide
Across a crowded sky
What angels did you ride
As I staggered at your side
Babylon was built on fire
And the bones of useless machines
It hurt to breathe
You fell away from me
[Round: First Piece]
Citizens in their homes
Missiles in their holes
And citizens in their homes
And missiles in their holes
[Round: Second Piece]
The brightest night I ever saw
Across an empty parking lot
No stars...
[Round: Third Piece]
This highway needs rain
Across both of its lanes
Until all that remains
Is this heart and its flames
And the rumble of trains
'Neath a handful of stars
