Andrea Bignasca The Burning and the Flood song lyrics

saw ‘em coming,

they passed me by without a glance

they kept going,

they held torches in their hands

blood-soaked blacktop

rain-softened concrete

pave their way,

as the river turns black

peasants in their fields

witness castles crumbling down

and my king and my queen stand weeping on their hill

as they watch it all

burn

then blood grows poisonous

don't feel pain, though pain is all I know

like a kid that pawns his own guitar but

keeps his rusty strings

with time the river turns blue again

quenches it all away

kid buys his guitar back and

those strings still ring

peasants in the fields

light fires and dance the night away

and my king and my queen,

minds and hearts set on the new day

remembering how

it all burned
