Cities in the Distance (Lectro Dub Remix)

The rain pours longer every night

The neon glows a lullaby

And it's haunted, haunted with our pride

Corruption intertwined with greed

Performing interchangeably

But I wanted, I wanted to be free

A system of the absolutes

Distract to keep the people mute

And we'll all move along

But somewhere it's a different show

The re-ignition starts to glow

Far away now, they sing a brand new song

Now from the shadows I can see their light

The lone stars shine on

The world's last night trapped in the veil

I've only heard their cries

The cities chanting their last reprise

Subsections of an institute

The work of bureaucratic brutes

They're trying, trying to save face

But citizens of darker times

Have learned to question better lies

While they're running, running out of space

But maybe there's one last resort

When our resources come up short

A light on the horizon shines alone

The cities in the distance live

With sanctuary left to give

Resistance soon ignites into a glow

Now from the shadows I can see their light

The lone stars shine on

The world's last night trapped in the veil

I've only heard their cries

The cities chanting their last reprise

Raise your hands upwards in praise

Not of the gods, but rather

The human cause undying the fear

Has held us back for years

We've sold our hearts for nothing

We wasted our own time at fault

With eyes on you all

They kept us scared and silent

And desperate to survive the light

Grows closer every night

So we will sate our hunger

And know the world revived

Now from the shadows I can see their light

The lone stars shine on

The world's last night trapped in the veil

I've only heard their cries
