The robed man rides his pale horse down the streets of Fifth Avenue
Sword drawn, mouth wide
The dust clears, smoke rises
The tear gas all blown away
The haunted dead scream "Two pounds of wheat for a day"
The masses grew
Waiting for the stars to fall down and the Moon to turn red
But they never saw
The blast sounds
The terror of the moment struck us, like a bolt from above
Wails, cries, then sleep
And when we tried to sing along we couldn't match the Angel's songs
Bright white and the feeling of an open door
We count the lights and breathe in
Big man machismo cabaret of rich devoid elite and
White Christian apathy displayed
Our hearts are buried in these streets
You trample on them, underneath
Without a thought of who you walk on
Bells ring, chimes toll
The figure chatters his teeth
Light fades, sky falls
And when the smoke clears and all the buildings fall
The only difference in us are the ones that have they have it all
Big man machismo cabaret of rich devoid elite and
White Christian apathy displayed
Our hearts are buried in these streets
You trample on them, underneath
Without a thought of who you walk on
Who you walk on
Who you're walking on
And when the smoke clears and all the buildings fall
Our hearts are buried in these streets
And they'll catch you lying through your teeth
