Dead City -

Through the empty window of delight

Bleak abandoned ruins fill your sight

From your shallow grave you hear the scrape

There matures the seed of your escape

Through the earth or through the air

On your dying breath you swear

To take charge and move ahead

Leave the city of the dead

Buried in the prison of your home

Thethered debtor bound nowhere to roam

O, to feel the cool after the rain

Keep your cool to keep your thinking sane

Through the earth or through the air

On your dying breath you swear

To take charge and move ahead

Leave the city of the dead

Poison pumping daily through the streets

Rusted autos, dusty tracks in fleets

Some are searching vainly for an out

You, the sulfur burns for the devout

Through the earth or through the air

On your dying breath you swear

To take charge and move ahead

Leave the city of the dead

God is blind, the prophet speaks in lies

Man is forth and only multiplies

Can we be the cancer and the cure?

Thoughtless waste our only act impure

Through the earth or through the air

On your dying breath you swear

To take charge and move ahead

Leave the city of the dead
