|
They thought the streets were paved with gold |
|
and riches still untold |
|
They didn't realise the truth |
|
I heard the stories long ago |
|
How young men went alone |
|
Searching for fortune and for fame |
|
A final chance to make amends |
|
The phoenix from the flames |
|
Evolving tales from history |
|
Carry our hope for all these years |
|
And letting go your fears |
|
To lead the march on Neverworld |
|
And when the daylight fails, it's dangerous outside |
|
Don't walk the streets alone, you just might not survive |
|
Out there in the shadows they are waiting there for you |
|
Waiting for the moment to arrive |
|
Nowhere to hide in the city of lies |
|
No-one to turn to, live on the line |
|
Nothing to save you from what you'll become |
|
Caught in a web - trapped in the city of lies |
|
I see the truth with my own eyes |
|
There's nothing to disguise |
|
A city now consumed by crime |
|
There are no rainbows and no gold |
|
Just nightmares to be sold |
|
To desperate souls on borrowed time |
|
And when the daylight fails, it's dangerous outside |
|
Don't walk the streets alone, you just might not survive |
|
Out there in the shadows they are waiting there for you |
|
Waiting for the moment to arrive |
|
Nowhere to hide in the city of lies |
|
No-one to turn to, live on the line |
|
Nothing to save you from what you'll become |
|
Caught in a web - trapped in the city of lies |
|
And when the daylight fails, it's dangerous outside |
|
Don't walk the streets alone, you just might not survive |
|
Out there in the shadows they are waiting there for you |
|
Waiting for the moment to arrive |
|
Nowhere to hide in the city of lies |
|
No-one to turn to, live on the line |
|
Nothing to save you from what you'll become |
|
Caught in a web - trapped in the city of lies |
|
Nowhere to hide in the city of lies |
|
No-one to turn to, live on the line |
|
Nothing to save you from what you'll become |
|
Caught in a web - trapped in the city of lies |
