Cover art for Babylon Was Built on Fire/Starsnostars lyrics by A Silver Mt. Zion

These lyrics have appeared live: I had a dream a terrible dream

Bombs were falling and you were far away from me

and the woods where we sought shelter were already burning

sparks lifted by the wind hoping and twirling

and in the hollow sky, one thousend pidgeons cried and i could not reach you and the whole world died

but oh the beauty of those slender aching trees and the birds so sweetly weeping behind those perfect leaves and the flames upon the water so gently trembeling

and this nightmare like a lovesong that was between you and me

You can find a live version if you know where to look.
