This City Made Us

There was a moment in the darkness Just before the blinding light The world was standing there before you Just out of sight Feel the thunder start to move Feel your pulse begin to rise The night's a shot that cuts right through you You come alive This city made us This city gave us life There was a crash that broke the silence A thousand voices called my name Like a moth unto the fire A breath on the flame This city made us This city ate us alive This city now Will fade away It's crying out I know you think you can control it I've seen the way you grab for power You've given everything you've got And still they want to watch you burn This city now Will fade away It's crying out It's not too late They set the fire Let 'em fan it Let 'em fan it I'll give you one more word of wisdom You stand to face the gates of hell You're on your own, you're all you've got Our hero failed us We'll burn forever now This city now Will fade away It's crying out It's not too late This city now Will not stand by Don't let it go We'll fan the fire This city now Will fade away (This city made us) (No one can save us now) (This city made us) (No one can save us now)
