lyrics

We could see it from a distance
Through the disparity
and vulgarity
We could see it from a distance
and now it’s overrun

We could see it from a distance
Through the cheering
and profiteering
We could see it from a distance
What could we have done?

What was once civilization
is now barren terrain
The pleasure palaces
have been leveled with pain

We could see it from a distance
It began to erupt
and seemed so abrupt
We could see it from a distance
and it’s too late to run

What was once civilization
is now barren terrain
The pleasure palaces
have been leveled with pain

We could see it from a distance
It began to erupt
it was all so abrupt
We could see it from a distance
What could we have done?
