we'll strike this city down
this place is painted with murder
sway, sway my darling, sway
let's dance tonight
it's been so long
since i've seen the sun rise up over me
i hear the sirens all around
this is an emergency!
this city's filled with ghosts
& these streets won't lead you home
(so keep dancing sweetheart now)
(my love won't lead you home)
the sky is calling out my name
but i don't know if these wings will hold
our weary eyes failed
from towers as we watched
& the world crumbles in your
your bleeding hands
this could be the death of me
this place is painted with our murder
swing down, sweet chariot
oh Lord, take me home
we'll fill the air with songs of praise
& make it back here someday
i'll scream Your name out as we leave
please save this ship
God, save this ship
Lord, save this ship
save this ship from sinking.
