City of Gold

Oh dead man come alive The grave has kept you too long It's no more your fight Rest easy tonight From these ashes you've been reborn Raptured were many a time ago Now unknown to these lands Join them all in eternal song one day Sing victory at the gates Cause I know there's a City of Gold Where thousands of candles burn in the streets Lead soldiers to their homes The City of Gold Assuming you're alive When your body's now dead and gone Be ready to fight Protecting the light The bridge to carry on Martyrs no longer of this world Care to stay Burdened spirits dying from this weight Lay it all down at the gates Cause I know there's a City of Gold Where thousands of candles burn in the streets Lead soldiers to their homes Don't you know there's a City of Hope No more hatred or death but the promise of peace From the kingdom & the throne The City of Gold After this I looked And there before me was a great multitude that no one could count From every tribe, nation, people and tongue Standing before the throne and before the Lamb They were wearing white robes And were holding palm branches in their hands And they cried out in a loud voice: 'Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb' Cause I know there's a City of Gold Where thousands of candles burn in the streets Lead soldiers to their homes Don't you know there's a City of Hope No more hatred or death but the promise of peace From the kingdom & the throne The City of Gold The City of Gold The City of Gold
