City of Lost Souls
Here we are, cold as can be
Cold hearts, but so warm
Warming up the hallow faces all around
Around this hallow city
We beg for the winter
Winter brings a way to hide
Hide the mistakes we’ve made
Made to last forever
Frozen to the ground
Ground covered with garbage
Garbage fills the nooks of this city
City of lost souls
Grown so cold, retreat to the house
House of pain, or the rising sun
Sun goes down, but safe inside
Inside of me, inside of you
Fight for the last scraps
Scraps of my dying dignity
Dignity is all I have left
Left of me
We die in the alleyways
Alleyways littered with bodies
Bodies of the forgotten
Forgotten memories, lives
Now we freeze into time
Time of the season
Season of the snow
Snow will bury us all
Cold hearts, but so warm
Warming up the hallow faces all around
Around this hallow city
We beg for the winter
Winter brings a way to hide
Hide the mistakes we’ve made
Made to last forever
Frozen to the ground
Ground covered with garbage
Garbage fills the nooks of this city
City of lost souls
Grown so cold, retreat to the house
House of pain, or the rising sun
Sun goes down, but safe inside
Inside of me, inside of you
Fight for the last scraps
Scraps of my dying dignity
Dignity is all I have left
Left of me
We die in the alleyways
Alleyways littered with bodies
Bodies of the forgotten
Forgotten memories, lives
Now we freeze into time
Time of the season
Season of the snow
Snow will bury us all
