#116: Put the City to the Sword - Here I Come Falling

Put the City to the Sword
Here I Come Falling

Genre: Hardcore

Note: I wanted to link to this song on Last.fm, but as luck would have it, it isn't there. So, here's a link to Here I Come Falling's first and last album, Oh Grave, Where Is Thy Victory on iTunes. Don't bother reading the iTunes review - it's ridiculously biased against both the hardcore genre and Christian music as a whole.. I've read several reviews on iTunes that take the exact same stance ("here's a band I don't like so I'll pretend I'm funny by insulting them in what I think are clever ways"), and it's really starting to bug me.



We'll strike this city down
This place is painted with murder
Sway, sway my darling, sway
Let's dance tonight

It's been so long
Since I've seen the sun rise up over me
I hear the sirens all around
This is an emergency!

This city's filled with ghosts
And these streets won't lead you home
(So keep dancing sweetheart now)
(My love won't lead you home)
The sky is calling out my name
But I don't know if these wings will hold

Our weary eyes failed
From towers as we watched
And the world crumbles in your
Your bleeding hands

This could be the death of me
This place is painted with our murder

Swing down, sweet chariot
Oh Lord, take me home

We'll fill the air with songs of praise
And make it back here someday
I'll scream Your name out as we leave

Please save this ship
God, save this ship
Lord, save this ship
Save this ship from sinking.
