Lyrics
The Dead 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.
There's a strange cloud over the city
it casts a shadow
cold and black like a cemetary
this ground is hallowed
in the land of a lost god
in the land of a lost cause
the dead city
washington
the world looks to you
washington
the dead city
column's stand tall like roman temples
the mall is emptied
warnings sound of unknown rebels
peace but a memory
in the land of lost god
in the land of lost cause
the dead city
in the land of the lost
yeah, we'll bury the cross
america
this is my home
we do what we have to
living in a dead city
