Midnight in the Holy City
Playground for restless souls
Graveyards for the sons of Ft. Sumpter

And the ghostly daughters
Wait for their boys to come home


Moonlight in the Holy City
So thick it warms the air
Burned my heart on a sweet southern flame

Like a hug from your mama saying it will be OK

Spilt my blood, in the Holy City

Seen the flood of a thousand rains
I ran away from the Holy City
Heard the spirits in the steeple singing

You'll be back again

Sunrise in the Holy City

The kings and queens shuffle by
I'm born here of my own ashes
Just lay me down here when I die


Spilt my blood, in the Holy City
Seen the flood of a thousand rains

I ran away from the Holy City
Heard the spirits in the steeple singing
You'll be back again
