Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's a blood red circle
On the cold dark ground
And the rain is falling down
The church door's thrown open
I can hear the organ's song
But the congregation's gone
[Verse 2]
My city of ruins
My city of ruins
[Verse 3]
Now the sweet bells of mercy
Drift through the evening trees
Young men on the corner like scattered leaves
The boarded up windows
The empty streets
While my brother's down on his knees
[Verse 4]
My city of ruins
My city of ruins
[Verse 5]
Come on, rise up!
Come on, rise up!
Come on, rise up!
Come on, rise up!
Come on, rise up!
Come on, rise up!
Come on, rise up!
[Verse 6]
Now there's tears on the pillow
Darlin' where we slept
And you took my heart when you left
Without your sweet kiss, my soul
Is lost, my friend
Tell me how do I begin again?
[Verse 7]
My city's in ruins
My city's in ruins
[Verse 8]
Now with these hands
With these hands
With these hands
With these hands
I pray, Lord
(With these hands)
(With these hands)
[Verse 9]
I pray for the strength, Lord
(With these hands)
(With these hands)
Yeah, I pray for the faith, Lord
(With these hands)
(With these hands)
[Verse 10]
I pray for your love, Lord
(With these hands)
(With these hands)
I pray for the strength, Lord
(With these hands)
(With these hands)
[Verse 11]
I pray for your love, Lord
(With these hands)
(With these hands)
Pray for the faith, Lord
(With these hands)
(With these hands)
[Verse 12]
I pray for the strength, Lord
(With these hands)
(With these hands)
[Verse 13]
Come on, rise up!
Come on, rise up!
Come on, rise up!
Come on, rise up!
Come on, rise up!
Come on, rise up!
Come on, rise up!
Come on, rise up!
Come on, rise up!
Come on, rise up!
Come on, rise up!
