The City Sleeps In Flames Lyrics
The empire will fall like they planned on
can we even last through the night?
We watch as the sky scrapers crumble
under the burning blue sky,
That blinds our eyes!
This is our last chance,
to make things right
A world lost forever
tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight!
Lets try to find a place to sleep,
its going on days, that we've been awake!
A sadness that i've never seen
I said your name, and you, looked the other way
Because these are my last words
and this is my last breath
I'd give you everything
if there was something left
I have nothing left to prove
and i will live with my regrets
I'd give you everything
if there was something left!
The disconnecting count of days
are fading away, the lives that we made
Tear drops will spill, from your blue eyes
intentions were wrong, I apologize
The empire is falling
like they planned on and we lost it all
The city sleeps in flames
Lost..
Time..
Everything's gonna be fine. Right?
Everything's gonna be fine. Right?
Everything's gonna be fine. Right?!
I can't find a way to live in this life!
The empire will fall like they planned on
can we even last through the night
We watch as the sky scrapers crumble
under the burning blue sky,
That blinds our eyes!
Because these are my last words
and this is my last breath
I'd give you everything
if there was something left
I've got nothing left to prove
and i will live with my regrets
I'd give you everything
if there was something left
Because these are my last words
and this is my last breath
I'd give you everything
but i've got nothing left
can we even last through the night?
We watch as the sky scrapers crumble
under the burning blue sky,
That blinds our eyes!
to make things right
A world lost forever
tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight!
Lets try to find a place to sleep,
its going on days, that we've been awake!
A sadness that i've never seen
I said your name, and you, looked the other way
and this is my last breath
I'd give you everything
if there was something left
I have nothing left to prove
and i will live with my regrets
I'd give you everything
if there was something left!
are fading away, the lives that we made
Tear drops will spill, from your blue eyes
intentions were wrong, I apologize
The empire is falling
like they planned on and we lost it all
The city sleeps in flames
Time..
Everything's gonna be fine. Right?
Everything's gonna be fine. Right?
Everything's gonna be fine. Right?!
I can't find a way to live in this life!
can we even last through the night
We watch as the sky scrapers crumble
under the burning blue sky,
That blinds our eyes!
and this is my last breath
I'd give you everything
if there was something left
I've got nothing left to prove
and i will live with my regrets
I'd give you everything
if there was something left
and this is my last breath
I'd give you everything
but i've got nothing left

PS:
Pouyan is a dick in real life. But his taste in weed is good.
i personally belive that this song is about the rise of the police state in the u.s. and how the government will become so powerful that it will just kill itself and everyone else
Well, all you people talking about 9/11, I see your point, but I see this song on a more metaphorical level. From my perspective, it's pretty much about someone's life falling apart. "The City Sleeps In Flames." Perhaps the city represents this. "This is our last chance/To make things right." This is the speaker's last chance to repair friendships, etc. "Let's try to find a place to sleep," He obviously wants a break from the emotional chaos that has become of his everyday life. "A sadness that I've never seen." He's never been this sad before, simple enough. "I said your name and you looked the other way." Being rejected by loved ones. "Because these are my last words..." He's going to kill himself. "If there was something left," He's got nothing to live for. "Teardrops will spill from your blue eyes/Intentions were wrong..." The regret of others.
this song reminds me of the last day of the world.
yeah....except....the apocolypse...but the line "its going on days that we've been awake" reminds me of vampires for some odd reason lol...
I may be wrong but to me this song has references to the September 11th tragedy of 2001.
"The empire will fall like they planned on" Might be talking about terrorists.
"We watch as the sky scrapers crumble" May be talking about the Twin Towers.
Some of the song reminds me of September 11th but some doesn't so who knows.
i agree with Shawnk00, this song has to be about the apocolypse....when i listen to this song i just picture the world in total chaos
they sound awfully alot like my chemical romance...yet better! see "skylines and turnstiles" MCR
They're awesome, Yeh sounds like an apocolypse kinda thing to me...but could also have references to Sept 11.
my favorite song right now, it's very eerie and horror like emo...mmmm, my favorite.
