Oh come on away to the cityA kingdom to beholdWhere the bluest skies they float on byThe streets all paved in goldWhere under the smiles fair and prettyAre teeth so very whiteInto the bones of our burdened necks they biteBaptised in the waterYou're draining the wellYou built up your heavenOn the back of hellDivine is the daughterThe dream that you sellYou built up your heavenOn the back of hellBreakin' our backsOn breakin' down stonesRaisin' up buildingsBreakin' down bonesWork all the nightAnd we work all the dayDon't get a choice manDon't get a saySongtexteWell there's a stormcloud stirrin' nowRevolt!There's a stormcloud stirrin' nowRevolt!The filthy streets and the calloused feetAnd bloodshot Irish eyesA floating haven for the cravenNestled in the skiesWell up and out and away with yaThere's a fight outside your doorsThe shining pride of AmericaIs a nation up for warRevolt!Baptised in the waterYou're draining the wellYou built up your heavenOn the back of hellDivine is the daughterThe dream that you sellYou built up your heavenOn the back of hellThe hybrid face of time and spaceAnd all that's in betweenDimensions twist and turn amidstThe the whims of one foreseen...Songbird take me homeI am lonely wherever I goSanctuary is all that knowAnd I dream of the skyBroken clouds drifting byAnd I dream of the skyMy utopian lieAnd I take to the skiesWith my only friendEvery angelBegins at the end Aus Songtexte Mania
