Various Artists - Dirt and Roses lyrics

This city grieves, like widows clasping Folded flags against their hearts Raindrops spill like dirt and roses On black coffins in the dark Not yet corpses, still we rot Oblivious to our decay Drinking poison, drop by drop Destined to die Unless we [Hook] Save our lives From the coming tide That seeks to drown us in it's waves But if we sell our soul For the chance of gold Then we'll rue each pa**ing day And I swore this place was once alive The streets all pulsed like living veins Heart worth beating, coarse with blood The buildings breathe each time they sway The time of d**h Punctuated by the bells The sky turned red Then came the rain Come on let's [Hook] They drown, they'll crush you from the top I'd rather die, I would rather chase them down These worlds are crashing forward, they try to set alight Build our true fates while they drown Like fallen soldiers on these fields We spared our lives Bodies hurled up on the wheels I swear we tried I gave up on this Godforsaken sight And felt it all pa** by Come on, let's [Hook] So save our (Save our lives) Our lives, it's coming clear Now it's becoming clear (Coming clear) To me We'll never sell our soul (Sell our soul) For the chance of gold And we'll live each pa**ing day
