lyrics

A question long been festering
Inside a burning head
On fire like the streets you’re on
With all those people dead
Wonder do you sleep tonight
When outside it gets dark
As easy as the thread got pulled
In our Glenfada Park

A city lost her souls in the shadow of her wall
When they tried to take her soul
She just stood, she would not fall
No, no

Put me up against the wall
Can you paint away the red?
Like you covered over history
Buried what you did
But you’d never keep it buried
Lies don’t dim the truth
Sent a man in horsehair
To steal a city’s youth

A city lost her souls in the shadow of her wall
When they tried to take her soul
She just stood, she would not fall
No, no

A city lost her souls in the shadow of her wall
When they tried to take her soul
She just stood, she would not fall
Said a city lost her souls in the shadow of her wall
When you tried to take her soul
She just stood, she would not fall
No fall
No fall
No, no, no
