Holy City Lyrics

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
