y le cantaban esta letra
Water was running, children were running
You were running out of time
Under the mountain, a golden fountain
Were you praying at the Lares shrine?
But oh your city lies in dust, my friend
We found you hiding -- we found you lying
Choking on the dirt and sand
Your former glories and all the stories
Dragged and washed with eager hands
But oh your city lies in dust, my friend
Hot and burning -- in your nostrils
Pouring down your gaping mouth
Your molten bodies -- blanket of cinders
Caught in the throes...
And oh your city lies in dust
You were running out of time
Under the mountain, a golden fountain
Were you praying at the Lares shrine?
But oh your city lies in dust, my friend
We found you hiding -- we found you lying
Choking on the dirt and sand
Your former glories and all the stories
Dragged and washed with eager hands
But oh your city lies in dust, my friend
Hot and burning -- in your nostrils
Pouring down your gaping mouth
Your molten bodies -- blanket of cinders
Caught in the throes...
And oh your city lies in dust
Cities in dust

El tema habla sobre Pompella, la ciudad romana que fue cubierta por la erupción del volcán Vesubio, deviniendo en esculturas de todo lo que había en ella, incluyendo a las personas. Pero a nadie le interesa este pasado, y semejante nivel de explicitación jamás hubiese existido como entrada de sinono si no fuese por esto
Pato Fu – Cities In Dust (¡dale play guachín!)

El cover de los brasileros está incluído en su último disco Daqui pro Futuro lanzado este año (2007, para los que se encuentren en el pasado o en el futuro). Una joya.
