Through the Lights of the City

from Kill It With Fire by Cause of Accident

/

lyrics

She sees her name in the lights of the city
They call her name in the lights of the city
And oh, she is searching, searching for a home

She said: “I’ve seen too many ghosts in the city;
I’ll never be another ghost in the city…”
And oh, all this wanting, a longing to be whole

They will lay her body down
But will they ever know her mind?
As they claim her body now
She is radiating light.

She writes her name on the walls of the city
Inscribes her name on the walls of the city
And oh, she is burning, the one eternal light

She is aflame and in flight through the city
She leaves a trail in the sky of the city
And oh, she is pulsing and strobing through the night

They will lay her body down
But will they ever know her mind?
They defame her body now
But they will never still her fight.

They will lay her body down
But will they ever know her mind?
They will lay her body down
But will they ever know her…?

She is everywhere
She is in the air
She’s suspended there
Everywhere, everywhere

We could start a new religion
We could end the Third World War
Take up arms above this city
Cross their hands and heal them all

Lay on the floor now
With all the lights out
They’ll break the door down
She’s not fucking breathing…

Violins swell on the deck of the liner
And as the ship went down, you never looked finer…
