City of Strangers Lyrics

Well they shut and locked the door to my cell now

And they called lights out so long ago

And I don't think I can take this darkness anymore

All my walls are falling down

And down that corridor I hear

Men throw themselves against steel cages

Oh God, tell me this is not what we're living for

Oh tell me theres more

Oh, city of strangers

Take me away from what I know

Oh, city of strangers

Will you ever let me go?

And I built the wall to stop the water

A flood from the well

Stone by stone a refuge slowly turned into a cell

And I am bound by the fetters

Of mothers little spell

Waiting for that human touch

And here we go, here we go, here we go, here we go again

In the web of stories

And the lies that get in

And brother, you're not broken you're just tired of the cold

And you have built the prison, and you guard the door

Oh, city of strangers

Take me away from what I know

Oh, city of strangers

Will you ever let me go?

Oh, city of strangers

Take me away from what I know

Oh, city of strangers

Will you ever let me go?
