Cities on Fire Lyrics by Reuben

In Nothing We Trust

2007

So fire it is
To make our dark streets clean again
Like a reset button on our lives
Like hands of God
Just dusting off the blackboard

And with all we've worked for gone
And all we cherished lost
We can start again

So play your violin
And breathe the sulphur in
Take it on the chin
As London sheds its skin

Play your violin
And try to hide your grin
As it burns away your sin
And London sheds its skin

Where are your churches and libraries?
Where are your books and your memories?

Oh
Oh, we burned it all
Oh, we burned it all
