Motley Crue - Cities Of The World lyrics

For how many years did ye not prosper and

bath in delight, ye four cities of unbound

richness?

Being at unbroken peace amongst yerselves,

ye all grew great and mighty.

Mighty in an era of no war nor stride..

How sour and unappealing

The roads between you, roads crossing the

world as you knew it, were peaceful

roads..How many a delightful journey

across those seemingly endless roads did

not yer pilgrims undertake?

To worship your now destroyed gods To

teach the four cities the wisdom and the

power of the gods you worshipped..

Ah! Those cool pools within your

cities..Allways filled with crystal clear

water, as if it was enchanted by some

wondrous spell..How many enlightening

baths did ye not enjoy ere the end, people

of the golden cities? How many times did

ye not leave yer heart's burdens in those

pools, people of the golden cities?

Did ye often enough behold the golden

spires of yer kings' palaces?

And did ye often enough wonder at the

cities walls and it's gargoyle's ruby

eyes?

Did ye ever wonder at the pictures at the

cities walls..The old pictures engraved in

the very walls of marbled stone..Could it

be your gods and their myths you saw..

Ah! Ye children of the age of illusion..Ye

lived in such gladness..

Never sensing the aproaching shadow of the

future..Never sensed ye it's chilling

breath.

Ah! Always shoneth the light in yer eyes

as it shone forth from every jewel and gem

in your cities..The light of the four

cities of the world..
