Heartbreak City Lyrics by Crossection

Before the Dawn

0

Heartbreak City lies underneath the evening sky
Constant sound, but you can't hear the children cry
Fast nights, bright lights, cover up a million sins
And the sunset's all you get to whisper of what might have been

The politicians speak of brighter tomorrow
While the past is always washed in sorrow
Hold on tight, forget about the state you're in
'Cause we're going for a ride, and we're never comin' back again

And you say just to use your head
Any fool can see that God is dead
Hey, maybe I ain't a fool
And what despair it brings
If man is the measure of all things
And we've got no one to answer to
No one to answer to

Get what you need and need what you want to take
There are no absolutes, so to hell with 'for Heaven's sake'
Knowledge is the key, we can make this nation proud
We're all dancin' in the street beneath the shadow of a mushroom cloud

We think we're making progress while we multiply the pain
Our secular sell-righteousness we struggle to sustain
There's a smile on the face, but there's a shadow in the heart
'Cause we've ruled out the Maker, so we don't know where to start

And you say just to use your head
Any fool can see that God is dead
Hey, maybe I ain't a fool
And what despair it brings
If man is the measure of all things
And we've got no one to answer to

And you say just to use your head
Any fool can see that God is dead
Hey, maybe I ain't a fool
And what despair it brings
If man is the measure of all things
And we've got no one to answer to
No one to answer to
