Golgotha Tenement Blues Lyrics

I am the city
I am the park
I am glow in the motherfucking dark
I am shocked and I seethe
I don't want to believe
No more
Golgotha tenement
City of sores
Give me your tired and your wicked
Give me your dollar whores
Down on the boulevard
Children are sold to pave the way
For your streets of gold
Streets of gold
No more
I am the chosen one (repeated 13 Times)

MOLG went on record saying they wrote the song specifically for the movie. So it's their interpretation of a 'theme to the Crow.' Golgotha was the place where Jesus was crucified. The song itself is about a second coming, coming from the ghetto's.

Wow, I'm surprised nobody's commented on this song. Friggin' amazing song. There's just so many "christian" metaphors in this song. One of the dominant songs that have honestly sparked my imagination in creative writing. The meaning? Let your imagination run with it.

This song is so awesome... I first heard it in The Crow, my favorite movie. It made me like the movie better.
