Album : The Rising
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
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
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!
Come on, rise up!
Come on, rise up!

Now 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,
With these hands, I pray Lord
WWith these hands, With these hands,
I pray for the strength, Lord
With these hands, With these hands,
I pray for the faith, Lord
With these hands, With these hands,
I pray for your love, Lord
With these hands, With these hands.
I pray for your faith, Lord
With these hands,
With these hands,
I pray for the
strength, Lord
With these hands,
With these hands.

Come on, rise up!
Come on, rise up!
