My City Of Ruins

capo II

There's a blood red circle on the cold dark ground

And the rain is falling down

The church doors thrown open I can hear the organ's song

But the congregation's gone

My city of ruins

My city of ruins

Now the sweet veils 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

My city of ruins

My city of ruins

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 ri--------se up

Now there's tears on the pillow darling where we slept

And you took my heart when you left

Without your sweet kiss my soul is lost, my friend

Now tell me how do I begin again?

My city's in ruins

My city's in ruins

Now with these hands, with these hands

With these hands, with these hands

(I pray Lord)

With these hands, with these hands

(I pray for the strength Lord)

With these hands, with these hands

(I pray for the faith Lord)

With these hands, with these hands

(I pray for Your love Lord)

With these hands, with these hands

(I pray for the lost Lord)

With these hands, with these hands

(I pray for the world Lord)

With these hands, with these hands

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 ri--------se up
