Cities
Built on holy grounds
And all you ever you knew
Slowly sinking down
And anybody born upon her
Would never celebrate her
Slowly
Strip her of her body
And make a saint of her
A soul to fit the dwelling
And anybody born upon her
Would never celebrate her

We create it all

The worst of all
We create it all
Create it all
Create it all
Ballet of the traitor
All you ever knew
Ballet of the traitor
Ballet of the traitor
