Eh-eh-o eh-o [6x]
I was left to my own devices
Many days fell away with nothing to show
[Bridge]
And the walls kept tumbling down
In the city that we love
Great clouds roll over the hills
Bringing darkness from above
[Chorus]
But if you close your eyes,
Does it almost feel like
Nothing changed at all?
And if you close your eyes,
Does it almost feel like
You've been here before?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
How am I gonna be an optimist about this?
We were caught up and lost in all of our vices
In your pose as the dust settled around us
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
Eh-eh-o eh-o [4x]
Oh, oh where do we begin?
The rubble or our sins?
Oh oh, oh where do we begin?
The rubble or our sins?
And the walls kept tumbling down (oh where do we begin?)
In the city that we love (the rubble or our sins?)
Great clouds roll over the hills (oh where do we begin?)
Bringing darkness from above (the rubble or our sins?)
[Chorus]
If you close your eyes, does it almost feel like nothing changed at all?
Eh-eh-o eh-o [8x]
Eh

If something is amiss with your submission I will reply/inform you of it and give you a chance to either resubmit the icon set. It is at my discretion to disqualify you for failure to follow these guidelines.
EDIT 04/11/14: Due to the amount of stuff I have to get done this weekend and the limited time I have to accomplish it all, I'm going to be posting voting and the new challenges for all of my contests on Sunday night after work. Please feel free to continue submitting until you see the 'submissions closed' comment go up if you so wish, thanks in advance for your patience.
You have until Friday, April 11th at 11:00 PM Eastern to submit. A 'submissions closed' comment will be left to inform you of such and any posts in the moderator queue at the time will be approved before I put up voting or the showcase (depending on how many entries we've received).
If you have any questions about this challenge, just leave a comment here. Otherwise, be creative, have fun and best of luck to you all!
And remember that each icon set you enter earns a set number of cards for TCG Exchange if you choose to participate there.
