City of Despair

City of Despair

The city is burning.
My brothers have fallen.
My endurance is failing, and my heart is fading.

The city is dying, and soon I may be with it.
My weapon has failed me; I’ve only got my fists and my refusal to die.

The city is lost, and so am I.
A blank state of mind �" shell-shocked, my head in the skies.

The city is overrun, I hear them coming:
boots, the sound of guns shackling

The city is gone, but not without a fight.
Glory only I shall carry with me to hell.
The greatest fight I will ever know, if the Lord demands that I fade to black.
