This City Made Us

There was a moment in the darkness
 Just before the blinding light
 The world was standing there before you
 Just out of sight
 Feel the thunder start to move
 Feel your pulse begin to rise
 The night's a shot that cuts right through you
 You come alive
 This city made us
 This city gave us life
 There was a crash that broke the silence
 A thousand voices called my name
 Like a moth unto the fire
 A breath on the flame
 This city made us
 This city ate us alive
 This city now
 Will fade away
 It's crying out
 I know you think you can control it
 I've seen the way you grab for power
 You've given everything you've got
 And still they want to watch you burn
 This city now
 Will fade away
 It's crying out
 It's not too late
 They set the fire
 Let 'em fan it
 Let 'em fan it
 I'll give you one more word of wisdom
 You stand to face the gates of hell
 You're on your own, you're all you've got
 Our hero failed us
 We'll burn forever now
 This city now
 Will fade away
 It's crying out
 It's not too late
 This city now
 Will not stand by
 Don't let it go
 We'll fan the fire
 This city now
 Will fade away
 (This city made us)
 (No one can save us now)
 (This city made us)
 (No one can save us now)
