Songs Lyrics

Verse:
City sphinx of brick and bone
It's cold lights watching you alone
You stand under the starless night
But angels won't come out tonight
To greet you

The monuments of those who died
To build these graveyards to the sky
Are sinking and you wonder why
The ground you stand upon
Is still beneath you

Chorus:
And it's long past the time
The ships are sailing out and I'm
Waiting for some miracle to happen

Verse:
The cities eyes that have no soul
And all that glitters takes it's toll
When once you were a messenger
Now nothing can get through
To even reach you

Attached to things you cannot have
Sweet perfumes that will go bad
Each one better than the last you had
And you think your sword of love
Will not defeat you

(Chorus)

Bridge:
And as I watch my feet slowly sinking
I catch the moments that I can
They say the world is made for men of action
But I keep waiting for some miracle to happen

(solo)

Verse:
City Sphinx that lost its glow
Its always fed and never full
And you wonder why you cannot leave
Is it just this broken fence
That surrounds me

The light is sealed from those below
The rivers dry and hardly flows
And nothing much can really grow
But pestilence and locusts all around me

(Chorus)
