Lyrics for Cities Burn
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh Whoa-oh, whoa-oh I woke up sweat soaked in the morning I was mourning freedom buried deep Mourning freedom buried deep In tickers and broadcasts through power lines Freedom buried in sound bites, buried in headlines And we sing Whoa-oh, whoa-oh Whoa-oh, whoa-oh A nation in fervor has given up No, no, no, this fight has just begun With movements and revolutions as few and far between As movements and revolutions will ever come to be This scare is blood soaked red (soaked red) Marked down the last words that you said, as we watched this city Whoa-oh, whoa-oh Watch it burn! Whoa-oh, whoa-oh Alright! It's beaten in and beaten in We're coming back around again It's beaten in and beaten in We're coming back around again This scare is blood soaked red (soaked red) Marked down the last words that you said, as we watched this city Fall and hit the ground No one could ever replace what we've lost now Fall and hit the ground No one could ever replace what we've lost now, yeah! We're coming back around Whoa-oh, whoa-oh We're coming back around Whoa-oh, whoa-oh We're coming back around Whoa-oh, whoa-oh We're coming back around Whoa-oh, whoa-oh We're coming back around Whoa-oh, whoa-oh We're coming back around Whoa-oh, whoa-oh We're coming back around Whoa-oh, whoa-oh We're coming back around
