From the lakes of melted glass
Rise skeletons of cities past
Lanterns light the blackened heavens
Like fireflies suspended
And we’re lost in the valley of the Seven Crowns
Spiders catch the fallen ash
Which lays like leaves upon the masts
Traffic lights direct the rivers
Whose waves are now homeward driven
You said it’d be fire this time
But the wind and the rain came in
The levy broke
And no Noah spoke
We came from the sea
Now the sea comes for us.
