City in the Dust

[Verse] City in the dust flames in the night Fear in the air no end in sight Echoes of fire footsteps in the street Dreams turning grey hearts beat incomplete [Verse 2] Walls tumbling down shadows on the walls Silence in the chaos as the curtain falls Faces of the children lost in the fray Hearts of the soldiers fading away [Chorus] Where did the peace go where is the light Battles rage on through the darkest night City in the dust tears fall like rain Searching for hope in a world full of pain [Verse 3] Whispers in the wind cries of the lost Sands soaked in sorrow counting the cost Broken promises written in the sand Time marches on with heavy hands [Bridge] Shadows of tomorrow ghosts of the past Searching for a reason how long will it last Voices of the fallen echo through the streets City in the dust where the heartbeats [Chorus] Where did the peace go where is the light Battles rage on through the darkest night City in the dust tears fall like rain Searching for hope in a world full of pain
