lyrics

I know the dirtiest secret
Of this town, and I promise to keep it
Til I've found, enough dust hidden under the rug

Stuck in the past like a picture
Mindsets are older than scripture
A bastion of deadset tradition built up

You left your heart on distant sands
Oh we understand
But it's time to let to go of our hands

Some will escape to the north and
Some look to change, well of course, oh
But others will stay Til the City Goes Under

The fountain we'd drink from is empty
They drained it, was it all out of envy?
I tiptoed past their chambers cause there's plenty I fear

The warlock will try to retain you
Brainwashing hearts, I don't blame u
Cuz it's tough to part when you're chained to its love

You took from birth our promised land
Oh but we can't dance
If you're forcing our hand

Some will escape to the north and
Some look to change, well of course, oh
But others will stay Til the City Goes Under

The dungeon will try to contain you
Your powers are stronger than they knew
The future ooh, is in plain view I see her

Dragons keep draggin' around and
The townsfolk lay waste to the town
And the children are faced with a sound they can't hear

That's why!
Some will escape to the north and
Some look to change, well of course, oh
But others will stay Til the City Goes Under
Til the City Goes Under
