[Verse]
Em A
There was a city by the ocean
A Em
At night my father tells me so
Em A
Before the water took the earth back
A Em
Before the plants refused to grow
Em A
Its beauty never knew an equal
A Em
Its metal towers touched the sky
Em A
Its people knew the warmth of sunlight
A Em
Before the sunlight burned your eyes
[Chorus]

And at night I dream about it

That my father's home I've found

But I know it never can be

For no more is the city that drowned

Some who lived there never wanted
A Em
Never knew the taste of need
Em A
There was no limit to there power
A Em
There was no limit to their greed
Em A
Others warned a flood was coming
A Em
There was no time left to waste
Em A
When they rose up in rebellion
A Em
They were hung by the city gates
[Chorus]

And at night I dream about it

That my father's home I've found

But I know it never can be

For no more is the city that drowned

Wandered deep into the hills

Built a shelter on the high ground

And that’s where we’re living still

That my father's home I've found
