The City Walls

"The City Walls"

Album: "The Architecture of the Soul"

Five of Ten

One house is a shelter, but a city’s a home.

I’m laying the brick and I’m raising

the dome.

I see them coming from the edge of the dark.

The ones who are looking for a singular spark.

I’m structure for many, I’m base for the weak.

I’m giving a voice to the ones who can't speak.

1 am the structure, 1 am the base

Foundation set in the holy placel show no fear, I show no ghostl stand my ground at the outer postHe leads the way, He holds the lightl am the pillar in the dead of night.

The streets are all leveled, the gates are all wide.

There’s no more reason for people to hide.

We’re building a fortress of kindness and bone.

Where nobody walks on the journey alone.

I stand on the rampart, I look at the plain.

Transforming the loss and the years of the grain.

The foundation is growing, the city is set.

The greatest of chapters hasn't happened just yet.

1 am the structure, 1 am the base

Foundation set in the holy placel show no fear, I show no ghostl stand my ground at the outer postHe leads the way, He holds the lightl am the pillar in the dead of night.

(Chant: "Build it wide, open the gate.")

“Built it wide, open the gate.”

“Built it wide, open the gate.”

(“Built it wide, open the gate.”)
