You said that you were with me You said you were my friend Did you really love the city Or did you just pretend You said you loved her secrets And her freedoms hid away She was better than America That's what I heard you say You said How could this happen You said How can this be The remnant all dishonored On the bridge of misery And we who cried for mercy From the bottom of the pit Was our prayer so damn unworthy The Son rejected it? So gather up the killers Get everyone in town Stand me by those pillars Let me take this temple down The king so kind and solemn He wears a bloody crown So stand me by that column The chains are gone from heaven The storms are wild and free There's other ways to answer That certainly is true Me,I'm blind with death and anger And that's no place for you There's a woman in the window There's a bed in Tinsel town I'll write you when it's over Her freedoms hid away
