They heard the virgins weeping, down to town square we go.
there they'll be cleansed by fire, i know yer yearnin' to burn the virgin
let's bring the morals back to, back to the town we know
nothing is ever sacred, my final warning to you i will sing
i've got the time to die, i've lost my faith in you
these city lights show me whats true
and it's time for you and i to die, this citys eating us alive...
and we're running from the start
we the black of heart,
running from what we cant change,
abandon the empire and sound the bell
bring on hellfire might as well,
ill be singin' to the slums...sing with me...
whores stole the morals laughing, into the ground they'll go
and i shall be the cleansin taste her sickness yeah i get this,
and i want you purest virgins, you know they need me too,
cuz it's been hard to resist, the father of lies will die tonight
and its time for you and i to die, this citys eating us alive,
this shithouse is going up in flames and ill never be the same...
and we're running from the start
we the black of heart,
running from what we cant change,
abandon the empire and sound the bell
bring on hellfire might as well,
ill be singin' to the slums...sing with me...
and when we sleep we're all so weak
because we can't shake the sadness it seeps
put on our mask well fake it past
but you'll never wash my heart away...
and we're running from the start
we the black of heart,
running from what we cant change,
abandon the empire and sound the bell
bring on hellfire might as well,
ill be singin' to the slums...sing with me...
and we're running from what we can't change
and we're running...yea yea yea
