CITY: SONGYes for your restless agility And the volatile hot blood That fuels its aesthetics You ostracized the night And never bid adieu to light I see you blast the deep darkness With noise some pestilence Forced laughter and naked bodies Here and again Spark light upon your night Oh! Night I cherish your silence Oh! Still hours custodian of quietness Bosom friend of precious calm Your shrine is eternally demolished here Adieu Noises drown the songs of nature here Pestilence struggles with plague In you the great mother of wrath Veiled in ravishing coldness We seek refuge in vain Your veil is vain Your nakedness is neat Your laughter is betrayal Your sleep is false Great mother of wrath Trauma bends your waist And sleep escapes willfully Yes, you banished the night The unsolicited covering Over your anguish and pain
