About the Artist
Lyrics
[Verse 1] There's a blood red circle on the cold dark ground And the rain is falling down The church door's thrown open, I can hear the organ's song But the congregation's gone [Refrain] My city of ruins My city of ruins Just one more time around, boys That's right Are you ready to join together? Are you ready to join together? Are you ready to join together? One, two Yes, Roy [Verse 2] Now the sweet bells of mercy drift through the evening trees Young men on the corner like scattered leaves The boarded-up windows, the empty streets While my brother's down on his knees [Refrain] My city of ruins My city of ruins [Chorus] Come on, rise up! Come on, rise up! Come on (rise up!) Come on (rise up!) Come on, rise up! Come on, rise up! Come on, rise up! One more time [Verse 3] Now's there's tears on the pillow where we slept And you took my heart when you left Without your sweet kiss, my soul is lost, my friend Tell me how do I begin again? [Refrain] My city's in ruins My city's in ruins [Bridge] Now with these hands, with these hands With these hands, with these hands I pray Lord (With these hands, with these hands) I pray for strength, Lord (With these hands, with these hands) And I pray for the faith, Lord (With these hands, with these hands) And I pray for your love, Lord (With these hands, with these hands) And I pray for hope, Lord (With these hands, with these hands) Oh I pray (With these hands, with these hands) I said now come on, yeah come on Yeah come on, yeah come on (With these hands, with these hands) I said come on, yeah come on Yeah come on, yeah come on (With these hands, with these hands) [Chorus] Come on, rise up! Come on, rise up! Come on, rise up! Come on, rise up! Come on, rise up! Come on, rise up! Come on, rise up!
