When I awoke I hung my head We are but ghosts, the living dead As I awaited the sun The streets gave way to a drunk Adorned in red And in the silence of the dawn I heart him sing a rueful song Soft and slow It wrapped around my bones So I sang along Desperate hope Reminds me that I'm alone But even so Inside I know I will see you again We rose this place up from the mud Sustained by poor man's blood We scratch and we crawl Away from its jaws But it will swallow all of us Under boot, it's hard to breathe They leash us and bind our feet So say not a word Or they'll lock you away just like the girl That they took from me I fell asleep with moon's return And in my dreams, these buildings burn Through the glow The ash will fall like snow Upon this earth
