A World Is Not So Beautiful [a Song 4 the Emperor]
London is burning, ignited with love Misunderstandings, descend from above Paris has fallen; the flag has been raised A nation in ruins, once pompous and great Brothers are fighting, in pleasure and pain There is no refuge, in the ladies of Spain Brussels is drowning; the flood has commenced The secrets of Europe, are waking again Berlin is falling; it has been besieged Europe is burning, for you and for me Rome is collapsing, just like before This is the future, its Europe at war
“Let me take your little hand, let me make you understand That the world is not as beautiful and free, like you believe”
Belgrade is bleeding; the past was retrieved Prague under siege, in tears we concede The uproars in Munich, in crystals they march Amsterdam trembles; there’s no light in the dark Brothers are fighting, in pleasure and pain There is no refuge, in the ladies of Spain Vienna has perished, consumed by its past Zurich is ruined; the gold did not last Berlin is falling; it has been besieged Europe is burning, for you and for me Rome is collapsing, just like before This is the future, its Europe at war
