Am                 C
Water was running; children were running

You were running out of time
Am                  C
Under the mountain, a golden fountain
F                       D
Were you praying at the Lares shrine?

We found you hiding we found you lying

Your former glories and all the stories

Dragged and washed with eager hands

Am               C
Hot and burning in your nostrils

Your molten bodies blanket of cinders
F                     A
Caught in the throes ..And.....
