VERSE 1:

the creatures built a city,

they built it out of sand,

the city it was pretty,

the pride of all the land,

so others build them too,

and scoffed at those who knew,

there's only so much sand to be gotten from the land,

the cities grew up tall,

afraid that they might fall,

they reinforced the walls,

built bridges roads and dams,

armor soon replaced skin,

it soon became a sin,

to hold anything above,

the city you were from,

no matter what the cost,

we'll eat till all is lost,

and all the wild pretend death won't get us in the end

CHORUS:

my heart breaks when I see this place

VERSE 2:

the creatures had their cities,

their cities made of sand,

the cities not so pretty,

drew scars upon the land,

still others built them to,

and scoffed at those who knew,

there's only so much sand to be gotten from the land,

afraid that they might fall,

they reinforced the walls,

built Bridges roads and dams,

armor soon replaced skin,

it soon became a sin,

to hold anything above,

the city you were from,

no matter what the cost,

we'll eat till all is lost,

and all the wild pretend death won't get us in the end

CHORUS:

my heart breaks when I see this place
