This City Made Us

Just before the blinding light
The world was standing there before you
Just out of sight
You feel the thunder start to move you
You feel your pulse begin to rise
The night's a shock that cuts right through you
And you come alive
This city made us
This city gave us life
It was a crash that broke the silence
A thousand voices called my name
And like a moth into the fire
I had to find the flame
This city made us
This city ate us alive
This city now
Will fade away
It's crying out
I know you think you can control it
I've seen the way a crowd can turn
You've given everything you've got
And still they want to watch it burn
This city now
Will fade away
It's crying out
It's much too late
They set the fire
Let 'em fan the flame
I'll give you one more word of wisdom
When you stand and face the gates of hell
You're on your own
You're all you've got
Our heroes fail us
Without the veil of night
This city now
Will fade away
It's crying out
It's much too late
This city now
Won't last the night
Don't let it die
Without a fight
This city now
Will fade away
This city made us
No one can save us now
This city made us
No one can save us now
