Holy City Lyrics

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
