In sts'ikel the earth came rain down on us.

Let the fires burn 'til the cities fall.

| This contrasts with other 'States songs - it's not so much rousing as warning. The first chorus is in fact kind of intimidating and Armageddonish, but focuses on human relations, which are of course the backbone of any city. Myabe it's a redefining song, politically? 1 | |
