Post-glam rock that could have been influenced by David Bowie but we aren’t sure. It may also be a great song for a soundtrack to Pompeii film but it didn’t. They tell about a person (then – several or many people) that lie on the ground covered with ashes of the town that is burnt with fire. Their nostrils are filled with cinder and their widely opened mouths are full of ashes that prevent them from breathing well and freely. Not to tell that this is a horrible picture – but what actually people that sing it wanted to tell everyone from their listeners? Not sure about that.

Cities in Dust Song Lyrics

Water was running; children were running

You were running out of time

Under the mountain, a golden fountain

Were you praying at the Lares shrine?

But oh your city lies in dust, my friend

We found you hiding we found you lying

Choking on the dirt and sand

Your former glories and all the stories

Dragged and washed with eager hands

But oh your city lies in dust, my friend

Hot and burning in your nostrils

Pouring down your gaping mouth

Your molten bodies blanket of cinders

Caught in the throes

And your city lies in dust
