City and Colour

City and Colour is the recording alias for Juno Award-winning Canadian singer-songwriter Dallas Green, who was also the guitarist and vocalist of the post-hardcore band Alexisonfire.

The water is coming
Will we hold back the rising tide?
The water is coming
Can we survive mankind?

Pray for redemption
Gnash your teeth and gnaw it off at the bone
Keep on knocking
Turn your back, there ain't no one home

Because you will not care for me
So, I will not care for you
Is this who we hoped to be?
Living in our midnight's blackest doom (blackest doom)

Old heavens without a star
All desires falling away
Off with the beggar's head
Is this the fate we face?

The moon began falling
Crashing straight down from the sky
And my skin started crawling
Venomous thoughts tearing up my insides

Flame of suspicion
Burning wild all through the night
That the water is coming
And we will not survive mankind

Because you will not care for me
So, I will not care for you
Is this who we hoped to be?
Living in our midnight's blackest doom (blackest doom)

Old heavens without a star
All desires falling away
Off with the beggar's head
Is this the fate we face?

'Cause you will not care for me
So, I will not care for you
You will not care for me

But what if I care?
What if I care?
What if I care? Oh
What if I care?
