City on Fire Lyrics by Ellis Delaney

Break the Spell

2008

This city is on fire
Everything's burning down
How did it all get started?
Did we know before now?
This city is on fire
Who's God will be louder?
Everything's burning down
This city is on fire
In my backyard
In my neighbors house
Across the ocean
Fire on the ground
I don't hear them cry
I don't hear the sound
Why don't I hear the sound?
I think about what I'd say
"Kids those are fire crackers"
We're playing war today
I turn to run for covers
The soldiers will arrive
To capture the survivors
No safety in this place
This city is on fire
No count down
No warning siren
The walls crash
The sky is falling
Who dеcides who's worth more?
How come somе things we kill for?
When will the oil run dry?
When will we see through the lies?
In my backyard
In my neighbors house
Across the ocean
Fire all around
We don't hear the cry
We don't hear the sound
Why don't I hear the sound?
This city's on fire
