lyrics

(intro solo- Hegde)

Narrator:

Everything's changed,
Yet everything's the same,
Just the way it was,
Sixteen years ago,
The town, once imposing,
Was now decomposing,
Cobwebbed and dying,
A sickly yellow.

When I was a boy,
This town brought me joy,
Many memories,
I've left behind,
But I wish to see
The town like it used to be,
To tear away the cobwebs,
Like they tore away my mind.

Chorus: Raptorsville is dying

(Solo- Vignesh)

On this hot summer day, people walk the streets,
With their slumped shoulders, every step spells defeat,
No sense of purpose by which they are governed,
And as I follow them I enter the tavern.
No one looks on up this day, no one cares,
People they drink, to their shared nightmares,
A bar full of people, staring into space,
I spot Uncle Sunny, And then I take my place.

(Solo- Hegde)

'No time for pleasantries, No hello or aye,
16 years it's been, Uncle Sunny,' say I,
'What has become of this once lively town?
Why is all sickly, decayed and brown?'

Uncle Sunny:
'Ever since Mayor Raptor died, nothing's ever been the same,
Raptorsville is a town, today only in name,
Today it's a town without life, without soul,
And losing whatever sanity it once used to hold.'

Narrator:
It can't be one man,
Who changes the land,
Who alone could cause,
This abysmal fate,
I get off my chair,
Pay for my beer,
Uncle Sunny rose too,
And asked me to wait.

Chorus: Raptorsville is dying

(Solo- Vignesh)

Uncle Sunny:
Don't leave yet my son
Listen to my words, for they will serve you well,
By entering this town, you've opened the gates of Hell,
Heed my words, I tell you no lies,
The town's dying, and where there's death, there are flies.
