" My City of Ruins "

NYC Version

"....the boarded up windows
the empty streets
while my brother's down on his knees...."

There's a blood red circle
On the cold dark ground
And the rain is falling down
The church door's thrown open
I can hear the organ's song
But the congregation's gone

My city of ruins
My city of ruins



Now the sweet veils of mercy
Drift through the evening trees
Young men on the corner
Like scattered leaves
The boarded up windows
The empty streets
While my brother is down on his knees

My city of ruins
My city of ruins
Come on, Rise Up!
Come on, Rise Up!



Now there's tears on the pillow
Darling, where we slept
And you took my heart when you left
Without your sweet kiss
My soul is lost my friend
Now tell me how do I begin again?

My city's in ruins
My city's in ruins



Now with these hands
I pray Lord
With these hands
I pray for the strenght Lord
With these hands
I pray for the faith Lord
With these hands
We pray for your love Lord
With these hands
Pray for the lost, Lord
With these hands
Pray for this world Lord
With these hands
I pray for the strenght Lord
With these hands



Come on, Rise Up!
Come on, Rise Up!
Come on, Rise Up!
Rise Up!
