City of the Faceless Songtext
von Seeming

They built a church in the stairwell
Of a high-rise in the city
Nobody asked, they just did it
It just happened in the city
In the city, in the city

She is not she, he′s not he
Taking godhood, tall and dizzy
I am the bull, come to life
Stabbing bankers without pity
In the city, in the city

And when we go there, we will rise
And shed our bodies
And we'll be weightless
In the city of the faceless


Now we twist the trains, stop the stoplights
Hex the history in the city
Our breath turns to birds
And our kissing turns to tigers
Running swiftly through the city
Through the city

And when we go there, we will rise
And shed our bodies
And we′ll be weightless
In the city of the faceless

And I will lose my name with you
And I will fade away from view
As we both push on through and through
The hidden alleys no one knows
The unlit nights, the Chinatowns
Where every street is hallowed ground
Where sewers shake with revenant sound
That's louder, faster, brighter

When we go there, we will rise
And shed our bodies
As we'll be weightless
In the city of the faceless
