There is 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 bells 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's down on his knees
|
My city of ruins
|
My city of ruins
|
|
Come on, rise up! Come on, rise up!
|
Come on, rise up! Come on, rise up!
|
Come on, rise up! Come on, rise up!
|
|
Now's there's tears on the pillow
|
Darlin' where we slept
|
And you took my heart when you left
|
Without your sweet kiss
|
My soul is lost, my friend
|
Tell me how do I begin again?
|
My city's in ruins
|
My city's in ruins
|
|
Now with these hands,
|
With these hands,
|
With these hands,
|
I pray Lord
|
With these hands,
|
With these hands,
|
I pray for the strength, Lord
|
With these hands,
|
With these hands,
|
I pray for the faith, Lord
|
We pray for your love, Lord
|
We pray for the lost, Lord
|
We pray for this world, Lord
|
We pray for the strength, Lord
|
We pray for the strength, Lord
|
|
Come on
|
Come on
|
Come on, rise up
|
Come on, rise up
|
Come on, rise up
|
Come on, rise up
|
Come on, rise up
|
Come on, rise up
|
Come on, rise up
|
Come on, rise up
|
Come on, rise up
|
