The City Songtext

von Murder in Art

The city kills your naive dreams
You learn it as you grow
The more you try to resist
The more it starts to show

Corrupting, twisting atmosphere
Becomes a part of you
Your innocence just fades away
And there's nothing you can do

You save your joy for a payday
Material obsessions you obey

The city feeds your unsure heart
With rush and discontent
It drives you to a state of mind
Where your lifeline has been bent

The killer instinct takes control
The shadows come to rule
Those kings behind the scenes
Will guide your kind of mindless fool

What maze of sadness there lies
A reign of hell in disguise

Blood stains the empty streets
That's where the city comes to die
And though you see it through your needs
U can't find the strength to say goodbye
