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!

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

WWith these hands, With these hands,

I pray for the strength, Lord

With these hands, With these hands,

I pray for the faith, Lord

With these hands, With these hands,

I pray for your love, Lord

With these hands, With these hands.

I pray for your faith, Lord

With these hands,

With these hands,

I pray for the

strength, Lord

With these hands,

With these hands.



Come on, rise up!

Come on, rise up!
