Oh these embers worked so hard
I remember them unfading
Incubated by my blood
Like a virus
Shangi-La-la-la-la-la-la-la
Shangi-La-la-la-la-la-la-la
Prayer wheels were made of gold
So clean I could see her face
But them a febrile fire took hold
Like a virus
Shangi-La-la-la-la-la-la-la
Shangi-La-la-la-la-la-la-la
Shangi-La-la-la-la-la-la-la
Shangi-La-la-la-la-la-la-la
Burning roofs - embers rose
Floating like souls to die downwind.
And they glow still in my mind
Like a virus
Shangi-La-la-la-la-la-la-la
Shangi-La-la-la-la-la-la-la
These febrile fire, This febrile fire
Oh these embers worked so hard
I remember them unfaded
Incubated by my blood
Like a virus, like a virus
Shangi-La-la-la-la-la-la-la
Shangi-La-la-la-la-la-la-la
Shangi-La-la-la-la-la-la-la
Shangi-La-la-la-la-la-la-la
