Lost City

A proud heart, it won’t die
The root of hate, it’s so deeply set inside
I can’t believe we’re so easily led astray
Name the price, the cost of blood, we will pay
A cold room, it’s empty now
Watch your step, all the lights are going out
They took the things we so easily gave away
For our trust, in return, gave us chains
I remember when this was
The center of the world
I remember when they closed the gates
And turned their backs on us all
Guard the walls, clear the streets
Cry for this lost city
Close the doors, stay inside
Cry for this lost city
All that’s left, all alone
Staring out at broken buildings, broken homes
We used to laugh like a fool that fails to see
We used to curse all the faithful on their knees
And I remember when this was
The center of the world
And I remember when they closed the gates
And turned their backs on us all
Guard the walls, clear the streets
Cry for this lost city
Close the doors, stay inside
Cry for this lost city
