City of Lies

They thought the streets were paved with gold

And riches still untold

They didn't realise the truth

I heard the stories long ago

How young men went alone

Searching for fortune and for fame

A final chance to make amends

The phoenix from the flames

Evolving tales from history

Carry our hope for all these years

And letting go your fears

To leave the mark on Neverworld

[Chorus I:]

And when the daylight fades, it's dangerous outside

Don't walk the streets alone, you just might not survive

Out there in the shadows they are waiting there for you

Waiting for the moment to arrive

[Chorus II:]

Nowhere to hide in the city of lies

No one to turn to, life's on the line

Nothing to save you from what you'll become

Caught in a web, trapped in the city of lies

I see the truth with my own eyes

There's nothing to disguise

A city now consumed by crime

There are no rainbows and no gold

Just nightmares to be sold

To desperate souls on borrowed time

[Chorus I]

[Chorus II]

[Solo / Interlude]

[Chorus I]

[Chorus II]

Nothing to save you from what you'll become

Caught in a web, trapped in the city of lies
