There is a blood red circle
On the cold dark ground
And the rain is falling down

The church door's thrown open
I can hear the organ's song
But the congregation's gone

My city of ruins
My city of ruins


Now the sweet bells of mercy
Drift through the evening trees
Young men on the corner

Like scattered leaves,
The boarded up windows,
The empty streets

While my brother's down on his knees
My city of ruins
My city of ruins


Come on, rise up! Come on, rise up!
Come on, rise up! Come on, rise up!

Come on, rise up! Come on, rise up!

Now's there's tears on the pillow

Darlin' where we slept
And you took my heart when you left
Without your sweet kiss

My soul is lost, my friend
Tell me how do I begin again?
My city's in ruins

My city's in ruins

Now with these hands,

With these hands,
With these hands,
I pray Lord

With these hands,
With these hands,
I pray for the strength, Lord

With these hands,
With these hands,
I pray for the faith, Lord

We pray for your love, Lord
We pray for the lost, Lord
We pray for this world, Lord

We pray for the strength, Lord
We pray for the strength, Lord


Come on
Come on
Come on, rise up

Come on, rise up
Come on, rise up
Come on, rise up

Come on, rise up
Come on, rise up
Come on, rise up

Come on, rise up
Come on, rise up
