O city, once a heavenly sight,
How did you fade into soulless night?
O my friend, what can I say?
All was lost to a mighty wave.
Yet I remain to carry the tale
Of the city that all once hailed.
My friend, there was a time
When love flew like a rhyme.
Now deathly silence echoes like a grime,
Yet I say, I am fine.
O Lord, what is my crime?
All I wanted was just to shine.
O moon, still within my sight,
Just tell me… I am right.
O friend listening to my tale
Tell me how can I not wail
O city full of gritty
Let me tell you are the most pretty
