City Of The Dead

This Is The Story Of A Sad Destination

of The Little City That Once Thought It Could

where The Fallen Think They'll Be Called Heroes

little Hometown Boys And Girls Made Good

but They Don't Want You If You're Still Breathing

they're Suspicious If You're Still Alive

if You Have Dreams, Then They Don't Need 'em

this Is The Place You Come To Die

chorus:

city Of The Dead - Bow Down At The Grave And Praise The Belly Of Lead

city Of The Dead - Statues Carved In Stone With Words That Dead Men Said

city Of The Dead - The River Runs With A Hunger That Will Never Be Fed

by The City Of The Dead

city Of The Dead

oh - The City Of The Dead

the Dying Drink To Themselves In The Taverns

they Raise A Toast To What Might Have Been

but They Thirst For What They'll Never Have

while They Pray To The Ghosts Who Listen In

and Relics Stand In A Museum

just In Case Some Stranger Doesn't Know

that It's Just Another Mausoleum

the Tomb Of What Perished Long Ago

chorus

and I'm Packing My Bags And I'm Loading My Car

and I'm Joining The Ranks Of The Souls Who Ran

'cause They're Digging My Grave Down By The River

i've Gotta Get Out While I Still Can

chorus
