City of the Dead Lyrics
In this city of broken dreams
Monuments of death arise
This is the necropolis
Where the nameless live and breathe
Rotten tombs of ancient kings
Days of glory are gone
A mockery to the living souls
Confined in darkness
Trapped inside these walls
Between their father's bones
Stillborn to this world
All their hopes are lost
Doomed to live on a burial ground
An empty shrine their home
The poorest of society
Find some shelter but no peace
Children play between the stones
Laughter echoes from the walls
Their cradle of innocent joy
Will be their grave of sorrow
Trapped inside these walls
Between their father's bones
Stillborn to this world
All their hopes are lost
No safety
No dignity
No light
No justice
No future
No home
And nowhere to go
Their misery
Frustration
Anger
Depression
Sadness
Madness
Will drown in hatred
Trapped inside these walls
Between their father's bones
Stillborn to this world
All their hopes are lost
Monuments of death arise
This is the necropolis
Where the nameless live and breathe
Days of glory are gone
A mockery to the living souls
Confined in darkness
Between their father's bones
Stillborn to this world
All their hopes are lost
An empty shrine their home
The poorest of society
Find some shelter but no peace
Laughter echoes from the walls
Their cradle of innocent joy
Will be their grave of sorrow
Between their father's bones
Stillborn to this world
All their hopes are lost
No dignity
No light
No justice
No future
No home
And nowhere to go
Frustration
Anger
Depression
Sadness
Madness
Will drown in hatred
Between their father's bones
Stillborn to this world
All their hopes are lost
