The Fallen City

Hard to live here costs are soaring high
Even the toilet cost millions to buy
Skyscrapers rise but hope declines
In the shadows dreams are left behind

Oh, this city's falling, can you hear it now?
Echoes in the streets with stories on the wall
Once a place of promise now life is gone
Only ghosts and devils wander in the sun

Why break in cars when it is legal to steal?
Laws are broken, nothing feels real
Crime is spreading in the streets we have paved
Toothbrush is guarded more than art on display

Oh, this city's falling, can you hear it now?
Echoes in the streets with stories on the wall
Once a place of promise, now life is gone
Only ghosts and devils wander in the sun

What happened to the dream in the shining gate?
Now it's just a shadow, full of silent hate
Once we had a vision, future bright and bold
Now it's lost in chaos, stories left untold

Oh, this city's falling, can you hear it now?
Echoes in the streets with stories on the wall
Once a place of promise now hope is gone
Only tears and sighs left with wind in the sun

Oh, this city's falling, can you hear it now?
Echoes in the streets with stories on the wall
Once a place of promise, now life is gone
Only ghosts and devils wander in the sun

In the foggy mornings, in the sunset's light
Whispers of the past, in the quiet night
This city's heart is broken nowhere to run
We're left to pick the pieces under a setting sun
