It's so quiet in the ruins
Walking through the old town
Stones crumbling under my feet
I see smoke for miles around
Oh, it's enough to make you weep
All that remains of the main street
Up in the park on Sunday
Dogs chasing and children played
An old man with his head down
Can't see nothing more
Can't see nothing more
But he remembers how it used to be
Back in the old days
So nice to see you coming back in this town again
Nice to see your friendly face come beeping through
Haven't you in the afternoon now
So nice to see you coming back in this town again
I bet it's all changed
Winter turned on a man
Came down one day when no one was looking
And it stole away the land
People running scared
Losing hands
Losing hands
Dodging shadows of falling sand
Buildings standing like empty shells
And nobody helping no one else
Young child with his hands high
Ain't able to see no reason why
No
But he remembers how it used to be
So nice to see you coming back in this town again
Yeah
So nice to see you coming back in this town again

It's nice to see you coming back in this town again
It's nice to see your friendly face come beeping through
You better know what you're going through now
You came back here to find your home
It's a black horizon that you don't recognize
Evil destruction has taken everything
You better walk from the side
While you're still walking
Just keep on walking
Walking down the street
Keep your distance from the people you meet
Oh Lord
And you better watch your eyes
Cause the smoke gets in the way, you won't rise again
So nice to see you coming back in this town again
Where's it leadin' to?
Freedom at what cost?
People need to know
It's getting more and more and it's all getting lost
I want back
I want back
Back to the time when the earth was green
And there was no high walls and the sea was so clean
Don't stop that sun to shine
It's not yours or mine
No, no
Don't stop that sun to shine
