Lyrics
The City
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
He came, and stole the wild
A crime so old as the sky and bone
He came untied
Solid as a stone
All is almost lost and it starts to show
Cause it's home but it's gone
He came, he paved the skies
And he's stolen the strands of sunlight
Soldier do what's right
It's a call before the chasm collide
Cause it's home but it's gone
Tear down your suffering, bolt by bolt
Tear down your suffering, bolt by bolt
Tear down your suffering, bolt by bolt
Tear down your suffering, bolt by bolt
