For all the spires
This city raised
YouÂ’d think
This is a holy place
The shadow of a cross descends
But itÂ’s 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

But the sirens
Are singing us to sleep
TheyÂ’re so loud
That I canÂ’t think
I hear voices
But I just canÂ’t tell
And when weÂ’re 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 weÂ’ll go
Imbibe the filthy air

Wisdom cries out
In the streets

But the sirens
Are singing us to sleep
TheyÂ’re so loud
That I canÂ’t think
I hear voices
But I just canÂ’t tell
And when weÂ’re dead
The city prevails

DonÂ’t be silent, God
DonÂ’t be silent
Please, donÂ’t be silent

Or I will fall
Into the world
I will fall
Into the world
DonÂ’t be silent
Please, God
DonÂ’t be silent
DonÂ’t be silent
Please, God
DonÂ’t be silent
Or I will fall
Into the world
Or I will fall
Into the world
