City Of Darkness

All the wildlife has disappeared

And earthquakes are always feared

Everywhere one sees explosions

But the ground is still frozen

Some people here have all the power

The rulers in an ivory tower

Constructing a new kind of life

But these creatures are not alive

It's the city of darkness

It's the city of hate

A system without emotion

It's the city of darkness

It's the city of hate

It's just a cruel police-state

The language in the streets is strange

From day to day their meanings change

Everywhere beggars can be found

Collecting things from filthy ground

Useless things dumped in the streets

All this stuff which no one needs

What a contrast between rich and poor

So much poverty, there is no cure

It's the city of darkness

It's the city of hate

A system without emotion

It's the city of darkness

It's the city of hate

It's just a cruel police-state
