Last Dance - City Of The Gods lyrics

Though your streets are paved With steel not gold There is beauty in your history Your light comes from the lives Of a quarter of a hundred million souls You are the mother of the gods of the people Who appease with blood and fire You are the image in the temples and face Your people can not look upon Even from the conquest you retain Immortal splendor You impart your life on those Who would force you to surrender Over your face are scattered monuments To the power of your resilience On the hearts of the people You have signed in blood A reminder of the price of freedom I'm leaving the city of the angels I'm out on my own I'm sailing on a distant shore At home I feel like a stranger I feel so alone Here I feel like I've come home In the city of the gods Your language is a liquid flowing In and through each part of me You enchant me with your words You inspire me with your countenance You are the mother of the people Who laid down their lives for the Freedom you gave them You are the image In the minds of the people Who have scattered all over the earth I'm leaving the city of the angels...
