There is Death in The City (Extended 1)

Verse 1

Shattered glass beneath the lamplight, alley whispers out my name

Broken dreams on the pavement, nothing ever feels the same

Sirens wailing in the distance, hope's just a rumor here

Another night, another warning, shadowed faces disappear

Pre-Chorus

Rivers of footsteps passing, never looking down

Another soul keeps falling in this battered part of town

Chorus

Tired of looking out my window, seeing children on the streets

Eyes all dazed and hungry, shoes worn thin beneath their feet

Begging for a little mercy, reaching up for a sign

Cold world spinning wicked, turning love into a crime

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh, lost and alone

Oh-oh, shivering bones

Verse 2

In the frost of this winter, city breathes out its lies

Frozen hands in their pockets, searching faces, empty eyes

Lost ones screaming, who gives a damn, nobody claims them kin

Crowds just acting blind again, letting the darkness win

Pre-Chorus

People walk around them, like they're made of disease

Cold-hearted perps in silence passing by with such ease

Chorus

Tired of looking out my window, seeing children on the streets

Eyes all dazed and hungry, shoes worn thin beneath their feet

Begging for a little mercy, reaching up for a sign

Cold world spinning wicked, turning love into a crime

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh, lost and alone

Oh-oh, shivering bones

Guitar Solo

Bridge

But tonight the sky is empty, justice rusts in the snow

Got no angels walking corners, no shelter for the soul

Street lights flicker hollow, nobody calls their name

Still those lost ones gather, voices tired and drained

Breakdown

Run for cover, nothing left to give

Broken promises shadow where they live

Chorus

Tired of looking out my window, seeing children on the streets

Eyes all dazed and hungry, shoes worn thin beneath their feet

Begging for a little mercy, reaching up for a sign

Cold world spinning wicked, turning love into a crime

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh, lost and

Outro

Cracks in the silence, heavy boots on the ground

Another plea goes missing, swallowed by the sound

Reckless hearts keep turning, faces set like stone

Still those eyes keep searching, yearning for a home

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh, lost and alone

Oh-oh, shivering bones

Oh-oh, can't look away

Oh-oh, will we change today

Extended Verse

Rain starts falling sideways, washes nothing clean

Paper signs get trampled, no one ever intervenes

Frost biting deeper, steel hearts look away

Justice waiting for a reason, while the desperate pray

Chorus

Tired eyes at my window, worn out prayers on repeat

Shadows gather in corners, hunger stalking these streets

Counting change for salvation, a hope already spent

Cold world spinning ruthless, every cent heaven sent

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh, lost and alone

Oh-oh, nowhere to run

Oh-oh, shattered and cold

Oh-oh, what have we become

Verse 3

Boot tracks vanish in puddles, silence soaks up the pain

Concrete hearts keep beating, pumping out the same refrain

Crimson eyes in the shadows, buried in worn-out coats

Dreaming of warmth and mercy, swallowing desperate hopes

Pre-Chorus

Frozen morning rising, same story at dawn

A broken city failing those it's built upon

Chorus

Still I’m looking out my window, wishing someone would see

Little hands lose their future on the corners of these streets

Thunder rolling in anger, heavens turning away

Cold world keeps on bleeding, love gets thrown away

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh, lost in the cold

Oh-oh, no place to stay

Oh-oh, turn around now

Oh-oh, don’t

Outro Verse

Street lamps flicker yellow, broken promise in the haze

Tattered blankets offer nothing, hope slipping through the maze

No one stops to wonder, silence hanging thick as mud

Dreams are scattered ashes, swallowed by the flood

Chorus

Still I'm looking out my window, voices howling at the night

Empty bellies aching, hearts hiding from the light

Hands pressed to the shadows, begging just to be seen

This world keeps on turning, grinding down what it means

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh, forgotten souls

Oh-oh, hunger won’t wait

Oh-oh, reckon the cost

Oh-oh, too late to escape
