The flooded lands on the edge of the hold Untenable lan Non-arable land left overgrown, left to the cold But still an ember glows And a wildflower blooms when left alone There is a beauty Blighted quarter, a people abandoned The buildings, they will crumble, but the spirit never dies In the streets, no children play And the carrion prey Discarded banners from a better day But through an open window You can hear somebody singing And the vultures turn their heads And they lift their heavy wings Blighted quarter, a people forgotten A hunger may contort them, but the will can never die ♪ Their lord, he would deny them But the spirit will defy ♪ The spirit will defy ♪ Blighted quarter, a people forgotten A hunger may contort them, but the will can never die Blighted quarter, a people forgotten The buildings, they will crumble, but the spirit never dies
