Sardis

So you seem so alive

But you play a fool

A fool until you die

In Sardis

Be there some men pure

Worth of a dream 

Of this, I say that 

“I am sure”

In Sardis 

You see so much unknown

So much is left untold

The clothes you wear

Are so beautiful

But they be of

Dirt and soil

Sardis

Have you seen Sardis?

So rich yet so impure

A life made up of lies

To remain until Sardis dies

Sardis

The likes of you I’ve seen

A song of love

For you, I cannot sing

Sardis

So you seem so alive

But you play a fool

A fool until you die
