City of Sin

a lot different than most of my works, give it a read.

Take a walk down the street,

Everyone's performing remarkable feats

In the den of the lion, that man's a coward

Shower him in sympathy; restless dreams,

An abomination; a baby, laid upon your feet

A black house crumbles while a holy church burns

Mad men prophesize the end of times while prostitutes sell their sex

And gun shots echo through the hollow night,

lovers cuddle beneath the halo of stars

The smashing sirens, the wreckage of cars

The drunk man knows the arts,

And to him this is all a dream, one big landscape

He paints his life while starving children die,

He knows no savior, all he sees is sin

Where does it begin? Where does it end?

This fabled City of Sin

Hark within the silence,

A cliff so steep, so the bottle rolls

Down, down, down beneath Dead Man's Fall

Oh! How ignorance is bliss!

Deliver us from evil, undo what has been done

The drunk man staggers into the rising sun

This city is alive and it will devour your soul

A mass of sinning, foretold by prophets

In this hellish place, one can seek forgiveness

But even churches burn to the ground

Where does it begin? Where does it end? The hapless victims cry

Lost in the madness, in this place, this City of Sin
