The City lyrics translation: TRIUMPH The City song texte and letras TRIUMPH The City tab, paroles and testo TRIUMPH The City Karaoke and Music Video - none yet
I have watched in wonder as
The colours turned to grey
I`ve seen the metal machines and
The factory dreams
I just got to get away
I have grown accustomed to
The drugs of power and steel
And the achin` in my head and the concrete bed
And the politician`s velvet feel, oh
I have learned to save my smile and
Use it like a knife
We`ve all learned to trust in profit and value
Profit over life
I have watched the skyline grow in
Defiance of the sun
We let it take us and we let it break us
Now the damage has been done, oh
I have learned the language
Of the lost that walk the streets
And I`m the city`s minstrel
Who knows all of her syncopated beats
I can recall when ambitions were small
And the music filled the air
But the minstrel`s crying `cause the music`s dying
And the city`s everywhere
It`s everywhere
Now there`s no more singing
Just a ringing in my ears
And the city`s story in all it`s power
Is the greatest of my fears
Long gone once upon a time
I sang a song so sweet
But now I can`t hear the melody
I just feel the driving beat, beneath my feet
Hear my crying Send " The City" Ringtone to your Cell
