I watched the houses burn, a bloodstained kind of brightness The last breath of grace and elegance is done The dead are lugged away, but they won't find their silence The verges fade, another time has begun A better time will come they say to reassure themselves Another day will bring the light - but they are ignorant In the cradle of their carelessness Burning flesh, burning skin Another raindrop burns their loathsome eyes. The diaries are blank, they went too far They can't return to their desolated homes No life anymore in the rooms of the girl who lived next door Desolated home Desolated home I watched the houses burn, the trees were full of ashes Just like snowflakes darken the sky No better time will come they know The truth becomes certainty They won't see the sun, they won't feel the light - no more The loss of insincerity The loss of humand souls The diaries are blank, they went too far They can't return to their desolated homes Desolated home No life anymore in the rooms of the girl who lived next door Desolated home Desolated home The diaries are blank, they went too far They can't return to their desolated homes Desolated home No life anymore in the rooms of the girl who lived next door Desolated home Desolated home
