My City of Ruins Lyrics

There is 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's there's tears on the pillow
where we slept
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,
I pray Lord
With these hands,
With these hands,
I pray Lord
With these hands,
With these hands,
I pray for the faith, Lord
With these hands,
With these hands,
I pray for the strength, Lord
With these hands,
With these hands,
I pray for your love, Lord
With these hands,
With these hands,
I pray for the faith, Lord
With these hands,
With these hands,
I pray for the strength, Lord
With these hands,
With these hands
Oh I pray
Oh I pray
I pray I pray I pray
I pray for the faith, Lord
With these hands,
With these hands,
I say Come on
Come on
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
Come on, rise up Come on, rise up
