I look down the street but there's no one there 
In the cold, in the dark, in the night air 
I call out for life but my heart feels despair 
There's no sign of a light in the cold dismal night 
 
The lights have all gone the clothes are all torn 
The people are gone but the victory's won 
I call out for life but it's after the day 
Now the people are gone just the city alone 
 
 
Eyes look from the second floor 
Down to the street below 
Calm now the wind is slow 
See posters once on the wall 
Now washed away in the rain 
Peeling from buildings tall 
 
 
I'll follow you friends to where life never ends 
Make our mistakes again as our life lines descend 
Time is like dust and the dust is like snow 
As it covers the ruins of the life that you know 
 
 
Trees once green now turned to stone 
Objects that look like ghosts 
All of them overgrown 
Mist all sight and mind is blurred 
Lie on your back and cry 
Words uttered never heard 
 
 
I look down the street but there's no one there 
In the cold, in the dark, in the night air 
I call out for life but my heart feels despair 
There's no sign of a light in the cold dismal night 
 
 
The lights have all gone the clothes are torn 
The people are gone but the victory's won 
I call out for life but it's after the day 
Now the people are gone just the city alone
