City of the Damned
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.
A second more will be end of me
So how can I keep living the dream?
I tried to run before I could walk
And I try to shoot before I load the gun
Then barbed wire gag
Wrenches me down
Before I can confront my past
This is my lifeline
Will you (keep the promises)
Still love me (long past the grave)
If I let you die here in this city?
Are you not afraid?
Guilty on judgement fuckin' day
Has come and gone
I tried to give you warning
The ground beneath out feet
It couldn't take the weight
Of sixty thousand years of blood soaked hate
Where is your lifeline?
Will you (keep the promises)
Still love me (long past the grave)
If I let you die here in this city?
Don't speak
The walls around here listen
Just kiss me
Before this hell becomes our home
I want
I need to be born again
Into this world
Will you (keep the promises)
Still love me (long past the grave)
If I let you die here in this city?
Don't speak or breathe a word
The walls around here listen
It's killing me to say...
Goodbye forever
But I will be with you
Until the day I die
