This City Made Us Songtext
von The Protomen

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)
