lyrics

I remember all their faces, pressed up to the broken glass.
Special names for secret places, train stations, an underpass.
In the square where we last kissed I thought I saw a shooting star.
How do I move on from this, this city she pushed me too far.
But…

This City Will Never Die

Now I feel the smoke in my lungs, colour fading from my eyes.
Where did all these memories come from?
And where will they go when we die?
Will these songs and voices live on? Will these streets find love again?
Every time we try and chase that night I think we just pretend that…

This City Will Never Die.

Not death, nor light, not fire or time.
No voices or reasons from Pauses or demons.
It ends tonight, my friends, tonight,
I gave them a beacon, I needed to keep them
Here by my side, it dies tonight but...

This City Will Never Die.
