The flooded lands
On the edge of the hold
Untenable land
Non-arable land
Left overgrown
They left to the cold

But still, an ember glows
And a wildflower blooms when left alone
There is a beauty

Blighted quarter
A people abandoned
The buildings, they will crumble
But the spirit never dies

In the streets
No children play
And the carrion prey
Discarded banners
From a better day
But through an open window

You can hear somebody singing
And the vultures turn their heads
And they lift their heavy wings
Blighted quarter
A people forgotten
A hunger may contort them
But the will can never die

Their lord, he would deny them
But the spirit will defy

The spirit will defy

Blighted quarter
A people forgotten
A hunger may contort them
But the will can never die
Blighted quarter
A people abandoned
The buildings, they will crumble
But the spirit never dies
