Victims Lyrics - Shadow Gallery

Downtown I walk 

Through New York City so hot 

The summer swelter melting 

Got things on my mind right now 

In the alleys that I take 

They just don't give up an inch 

I turned and saw it all 

I watched him fall 

I tried to catch him 

But they knocked me out cold too 

"Babylon" he cried 

The cost in flesh and blood is rising high 

Things are falling apart it all seems 

Bleeding in the gutter 

The waste of random acts of violence 

Where's the Savior to resuce our dreams? 

Desperation's crawling 

We're victims of a world that's gone so wrong? 

Hours later when I woke 

I was lying in some darkened basement rescue mission 

They're tending to my needs and wounds 

They were such a sorry lot 

The very bottom of the social ladder 

I just caught myself before I cried 

They've nothing at all 

But they're the only ones there to help 

Eden's sin's alive 

Stalking me 

Stalking everyone
