Cities Burning Down

Trying to rise the water
It was a love that filled the sea
Dreamt it kept on rising
A haunted love was she
Dreamt of raging fires
Swept around the bend
Dreamt I had a nightmare
The cities burning down again
The cities burning down again
And the storm it kept on coming
All the while I saw the sun
Then the earth made a sound
And I heard it tempt me
The cities burning down again
The cities burning down again
So help me out please
So help me out please
Oh, I
Trying to rise the water
It was a love that filled the sea
Dreamt I had a nightmare
The cities falling down on me
The cities falling down on me
The cities burning down again
The cities burning down again
