The Changelings - Earthquake At Versailles lyrics

<b>Earthquake At Versailles</b> by <i>The Changelings</i><br />

A sea of marble, wood

Disintegrating showers falling

Gargoyle heads and ornaments

Of gold and lead

We sheltered here,

But now the tide of beauty

Has dispersed

We once were home

But now are cast away

We were misunderstood

We gods of wire and wood

Once shackled to the stone

Which crumbled down

The avenues of blood...

The ballrooms caved

The pillars crumbled into dust

And we are playing still

The chords to call the angels

From their thrones

The dancers now are flecked

With cracks contorting galliards

They dance the steps

That lead now to their graves
