lyrics

At the end of the day
They fell under my spell
For cities will rise
But cities can be felled

At the chime of the bell
The people fill the square
As the crows circle round
Their voices fill the air

A man knuckles down
Cold, as black as coal
Desperate for the night
Where he can show his soul

To the woman who decides
That she can walk through fire
Hair is glistening, all slicked back
Her legs, they never tire

The slaver holds a belt
Wrapped with heavy chain
He lines up forty diamonds
And calls out forty names

And down below the lowest deck
A traitor spits and groans
Never will he see his kin
Or sleep with his father’s bones

So tear down the walls
My loyal men of arms
Level their cathedrals
And blacken out their stars

At the end of the day
They fell under my spell
For cities will rise
But cities can be felled

So tear down the walls

My loyal men of arms
Level their cathedrals
And blacken out their stars

At the end of the day
They fell under my spell
For cities will rise
But cities can be felled
