LYRICS:
There's a strange cloud over the city
It casts a shadow
Cold and black like a cemetery
This ground is hallowed
In the land of a lost god
In the land of a lost cause
The dead city
In these tragic times
The world looks to you
Look to the capital
The dead city
Columns stand tall like Roman temples
The mall is emptied
Warnings sound of unknown rebels
Peace but a memory
In the land of lost god
In the land of lost cause
The dead city
In these tragic times
The world looks to you
Look to the capital
The dead city
In the land of the lost
Yeah, we'll bury the cross
America
This is my home
We do what we have to
Living in a
Dead city
(c) THE HINT
There's a strange cloud over the city
It casts a shadow
Cold and black like a cemetery
This ground is hallowed
In the land of a lost god
In the land of a lost cause
The dead city
In these tragic times
The world looks to you
Look to the capital
The dead city
Columns stand tall like Roman temples
The mall is emptied
Warnings sound of unknown rebels
Peace but a memory
In the land of lost god
In the land of lost cause
The dead city
In these tragic times
The world looks to you
Look to the capital
The dead city
In the land of the lost
Yeah, we'll bury the cross
America
This is my home
We do what we have to
Living in a
Dead city
