lyrics

Fear City

Put the car in gear,
Get us out of here.
Fear city is done,
Falling one by one.

Marked by the cross,
Now we know the cost,
We’re talking to ourselves,
We hear no-one else.

The horizon
Is growing dim,
I can’t see your face,
And I can’t feel my way.

Bring me the head
Of the Baptist,
Pulled from the wilderness
His promise only death.

I can see our end,
In the empty hand,
In the call to arms,
In the call for calm.

Put the car in gear
Get us out of here.
Fear city is done,
Fallen one by one.
