There's a blood red circle on a cold dark ground and the rain is falling down The church doors 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 veils of mercy drifting 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! Come on rise up! Now there's tears on the pillow darling where we slept and you took my heart when you left without your sweet kiss my soul, is lost my friend Now tell me how do I begin again? My city's in ruin My city's in ruin Now with these hands with these hands oh with these hands with these hands I pray Lord with these hands pray for the strength Lord with these hands pray for the love Lord with these hands pray for the lost Lord with these hands pray for the strength Lord with these hands pray for the strength Lord with these hands I Come on Come on 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
