lyrics

WAKE THIS CITY • Wake yourself from ineptic mediocrity • Wrap yourself in light and sound • Rise and scream your lungs out • Wake this city of hatred • Spread the word in the streets • In those narrow corridors • From the top of the skyscrapers • To the depth of the sewers • This city made of concrete and dust • No more artificial dreams • May the flesh be a part of it again • Tonight, the walls are falling apart •The ground will shake • The monuments will burn • The towers will collapse • The blood red sun will rise high in the sky • This is the noise of freedom • The pulse of revolution • Tuned to the forbidden frequency • Bring the airwaves back • Empty the basements • Return to the surface now • The noise of freedom • Tuned to the forbidden frequency • Return to the surface • The pulse of revolution • Bring the airwaves back • Return to the surface • And this city we call our own • Will wrap itself in light and sound • For so long we slept • We thought we were dead • Hearts have stopped beating • Will we starve to death? • For so long we slept • We thought we were dead • Finally hearts beating • And we're singin' • Wake up • Wake up • Wake this city up tonight • Oh father I must confess •We're done waiting for the Messiah • The cathedrals we've built for him • Will go back to the earth • Can't you see this? • Wake this city • We fill the streets • Hearts beating out • Can you feel it? • Blood meets the dust • Twins touch the ground • Can you see it? • The sky is changing • From black to red • I can see it • Today we live to see the sun • I am awake.
