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

You feel the thunder start to move you

You feel your pulse begin to rise

The night's a shock that cuts right through you

And you come alive

This City made us

This City gave us life

It was a crash that broke the silence

A thousand voices called my name

And like a moth into the fire

I had to find 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 a crowd can turn

You've given everything you've got

And still they want to watch it burn

This City now

will fade away

It's crying out

It's much too late

They set the fire

Let 'em fan the flame

I'll give you one more word of wisdom

When you stand and face the gates of hell

You're on your own

You're all you've got

Our heroes fail us

Without the veil of night

This City now

will fade away

It's crying out

It's much too late

This City now

Won't last the night

Don't let it die

Without a fight

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
