For all the spires this city raised
Youd think this is a holy place
The shadow of a cross descends
But its swallowed by the haze
You never sleep do you?
Always pouring smoke into
The atmosphere
What happens here stays with us till the grave
Wisdom cries out in the streets (Proverbs 1:20)
But the sirens are singing us to sleep
Theyre so loud that I cant think
I hear voices but I just cant tell
And when were dead, the city prevails
Countless walk the open streets
With shackles chained around their feet
Wisdom says to fly away
But they cannot see their wings
Water, water everywhere
But not a drop that I would dare
Drink and so we think well go
Imbibe the filthy air
Wisdom cries out in the streets
But the sirens are singing us to sleep
Theyre so loud that I cant think
I hear voices but I just cant tell
And when were dead, the city prevails
Dont be silent, God
Dont be silent
Please, dont be silent (Psalm 83:1)
Or I will fall into the world
I will fall into the world
Dont be silent
Please, God, dont be silent
Dont be silent
Please, God, dont be silent
Or I will fall into the world
Or I will fall into the world
