Lyrics
City Of The Dead
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.
She has fled the fields of green
Where life was pure in a rustic dream
Where her first love carved his name in the bark
And gave to her his soul and heart
Now she sells her body to the night
Underneath the neon lights
And if she's lucky she's got five years
of crack, smack, pain and tears
City of the Dead
City of the Dead will crush your dreams
City of the Dead will clip your wings
City of the Dead is here to break you
City of the Dead is here to make you
Gone forever the meadow of rye
Youthful lust beneath the summer sky
Her sweetheart died a suicide
When he lost his love to the Temple of Lies
Twenty six months, she's grown old
Bled to death on the streets of gold
A raggedy whore she will die
And burn in the flames of paradise
