The Sinking

I knew we had to leave
As soon as the sun rose
Ersatz city seethes
Beneath the heavens in repose
We need to flee this town
To keep ourselves intact
Now if we could only
Get our bodies to react
Its the sin king, sinking
Sin king, sinking
I can feel the floods
In this opulent sodom
Where all your millions of kings
Will just sink to the bottom
Sin king, sinking
Its the sin king, sinking
I knew we had to leave
As soon as the sun froze
Ersatz cities freeze
Beneath the heavens in repose
Ue need to seize the crown
To keep ourselves intact
Now if we could only
Get our minds to react
Oh
