A City Drowning. God’s Black Tears.

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Oh come, oh, come, God's blessings to thee I come, I come from the cold, cold city With narrow streets and buildings so high The grey expanse beneath the sky She twitches and paces and talks to herself She waxes and wanes into her own death With years and miles behind her Alone she dies with only the devil beside her [Chorus] I should have killed them All of them With my bare hands When I had the chance I should have drowned them All of them One by one 'till they're all dead [Verse 2] Her eyes well up into the streets Perfectly round and black like oblivion Alleys flood and turn into streets In hopes it will forgive her She calls her way out for her life Only condemned by her will to survive Bitter stitched me a curtain so bright Made out of lichen for the afterlife [Chorus] I should have killed them All of them With my bare hands When I had the chance I should have drowned them All of them One by one 'till they're all dead
