This town is his cause burying my neck This air it takes off, without rushing, without haste The streets are in distress, The sun suffocates behind darkened skies The grass is growing under my feet I'm thinking it wont be long before you get The line-up seems endless, Underneath the salvation sign We are the dead ones, we are the lost cause We are the people who will not blame ourselves from this cause The city, the city is haunted, By ghosts (ghosts) from broken homes (homes) Because this city, this city is haunted There's no hope (hope) left for these souls (souls) Every step I take, I leave a small piece of myself behind Soon there will be nothing left The cracks in the pavement, Match the cracks in their weathered skin, The skies a brick wall, the clouds a juggernaut Each day as we know I stare in amazement, I can't believe this is where I live Every breath I take, I feel my lungs fail The city, the city is haunted, By ghosts (ghosts) from broken homes (homes) Because this city, this city is haunted There's no hope (hope) left for these souls (souls) Our steps seal fate Our steps seal fate (this is our celebration, come join the lost souls) (this is our celebration, come join the lost souls) The city, the city is haunted Walk with us The city, the city is haunted, By ghosts (ghosts) from broken homes (homes) Because this city, this city is haunted There's no hope (hope) left for these souls (souls)
