Arch Enemy lyrics : "City Of The Dead"

In this city of broken dreams*
Monuments of death arise
This is the Necropolis

Where the nameless live and breathe

Rotten tombs of ancient kings

Days of glory are gone
A mockery to the living souls
Confined in darkness


Trapped inside these walls
Between their father's bones

Stillborn to this world
All their hopes are lost


Doomed to live on a burial ground
An empty shrine their home
The poorest of society

Find some shelter but no peace

Children play between the stones

Laughter echoes from the walls
Their cradle of innocent joy
Will be their grave of sorrow


Trapped inside these walls
Between their father's bones

Stillborn to this world
All their hopes are lost


No safety, no dignity, no light, no justice,
no future, no home and nowhere to go
Their misery, frustration, anger, depression,

sadness, madness will drown in hatred

[Lead - Michael / Christopher]


Trapped inside these walls
Between their father's bones

Stillborn to this world
All their hopes are lost
