When I awoke I hung my head
 We are ghosts, the living dead
 As I awaited the sun
 The streets gave way to a drunk
 Adorned in red
 
 And since the silence of the dawn
 I heard him sing a rueful song
 Soft and slow,
 It wrapped around my bones
 So I sand along
 
 Desperate hope
 Reminds me that I’m alone
 But even so, inside I know
 That I will see you again
 
 We rose this place up from the mud
 Sustained by poor man’s blood
 We scratch and we crawl
 Away from its jaws
 But it will swallow all of us
 
 Under boot, it’s hard to breath
 They leash us and bind our feet
 So say not a word
 Or they’ll lock you away
 Just like the girl that they took from me
 
 He sang for a city that he used to know
 And I sang for the love that I lost long ago
 We sang towards the sky to a God
 up above
 That may never come
 
 I fell asleep with moon’s return
 And in my dreams, these buildings burn
 And through the glow
 The ash will fall like snow
 Upon this earth
