Cries of the City

Can you the hear cries, where the loneliness hide in disguise Candles are lite for those whom arrived A place where lost souls are bound to die This is the place where broken hearts stay broken Ashes in the sky as if the clouds are smokin jealous lovers take a sip of the devil's love potion These are the cries, not knowing what tomorrow may bring So much sin in the city, mother earth bears her pain A war being fought and still freedom bells ring let peace be upon us a black crow sings Death is coming soon to a city near you These are the cries, with open eyes I've been through poverty and racism you wouldn't have a clue These are my tears that I shed to you
