The Changelings - Earthquake at Versailles lyrics

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
