Lyrics
The City In The Sea
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Lo! death has reared himself a throne
In a strange city lying alone
Far down within the dim west,
Where the good and the bad and the worst and the best
Have gone to their eternal rest.
There shrines and palaces and towers
(time-eaten towers that tremble not!)
Resemble nothing that is ours.
Around, by lifting winds forgot,
Resignedly beneath the sky
The melancholy waters lie
