My City of Ruins

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 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 (with these hands, with these hands) I pray for the strength, Lord (with these hands, with these hands) Yeah, I pray for the faith, Lord (with these hands, with these hands) Pray for your love, Lord (with these hands, with these hands) I pray for the strength, Lord (with these hands, with these hands) I pray for your love, Lord (with these hands, with these hands) Pray for the faith, Lord (with these hands), alright (with these hands) I pray for the strength, Lord (with these hands), come on, come on (with these hands) 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 Come on, rise up Come on, rise up
