Save Our City Lyrics - Broken Bride - Ludo

"Mr. Mayor, the mission burns 

the zombies are marching, they close on the square 

Families are cold, look down at their souls 

huddled in camps on the old marble steps of City Hall 

Faith in their God, that's all that they've got." 

Across the room, beyond the pane 

the whole world is churning, bleeding and burning 

hailstorms and ash 

The moon is as blood 

over the soldiers who sag in the mud. 

CHORUS 

Save our city 

Keep our souls, Lord 

Through the rapture 

of this world. 

"Little boy, I'm just a man 

a mere civil servant, against this tyrant God 

I've allied with our King, salvation he brings 

protecting the city against all the troops Heaven sent 

but the dead walk again, this is the end. 

Oh I'm just a man, my time has come 

Long live King Simius! May he deliver us 

from this nightmare!" 

And with a blast like the sun 

his lips are unwrapped from the barrel of his gun. 

REPEAT CHORUS 

Fought and fell for our great king 

We burned alive and boiled 

The dragon, red and wrathful calls 

We rise and march once more. 

Cursed in death, we starve for flesh 

Our skin is cooked and curled 

We'll eat our skin and smash them in 

In Hell, we'll grind their bones. 

REPEAT CHORUS 

Save our city 

Keep our souls, Lord God 

Through the rapture 

of this world. 

Save our city 

(Fought and fell for our great king) 

Keep our souls, Lord God 

(We burned alive and boiled) 

Through [the mayor's ruined head, the boy steps through the window] the rapture 

(The dragon, red and wrathful calls) 

of this world. [and cries out from the ledge to the people below.] (We 

rise and march once more.) 

Save our city [There's a time to pray and there's a time to fight] (Cursed 

in death, we starve for flesh) 

Keep our souls, Lord God [Anything can be a weapon if you're holding it right] 

(Our skin is cooked and curled) 

Through the rapture [Defend what is yours, they will not take our souls] 

(We'll eat our skin and smash them in) 

and so we [it's time now to] rise and fight! 

Save our city! 

Keep our souls, Lord! 

Rise now and fight!
