The City Prevails |
| For all the spires |
| This city raised |
| You’d think |
| This is a holy place |
| The shadow of a cross descends |
| But it’s swallowed by the haze |
| You never sleep do you? |
| Always pouring smoke into |
| The atmosphere |
| What happens here |
| Stays with us till the grave |
| Wisdom cries out |
| In the streets |
| But the sirens |
| Are singing us to sleep |
| They’re so loud |
| That I can’t think |
| I hear voices |
| But I just can’t tell |
| And when we’re dead |
| The city prevails |
| Countless walk the open streets |
| With shackles chained |
| Around their feet |
| Wisdom says to fly away |
| But they cannot see their wings |
| Water, water everywhere |
| But not a drop |
| That I would dare |
| Drink and so we think we’ll go |
| Imbibe the filthy air |
| Wisdom cries out |
| In the streets |
| But the sirens |
| Are singing us to sleep |
| They’re so loud |
| That I can’t think |
| I hear voices |
| But I just can’t tell |
| And when we’re dead |
| The city prevails |
| Don’t be silent, God |
| Don’t be silent |
| Please, don’t be silent |
| Or I will fall |
| Into the world |
| I will fall |
| Into the world |
| Don’t be silent |
| Please, God |
| Don’t be silent |
| Don’t be silent |
| Please, God |
| Don’t be silent |
| Or I will fall |
| Into the world |
| Or I will fall |
| Into the world |
