METAL CITY

This holy noise 
Thou shalt hear 
Clangs 
And bangs 
Metal city 
These hard black streets 
Beckon Holy Spirit 
To know peace
In the temple we must be there - 
These beggars upon 
City streets 
....vehicles of humankind 
Upon roads of metal hell 
Heil city 
I am on my knees 
Begging mercy from the merciless 
These nights 
Unforgiving as they are
Drug infestation 
Needle prick blood 
Heroine addicted son 
Busts hanging out of bought women 
We are all immersed in this noise 
As we die in the chaos together 
Bird fly away 
To a quieter place 
And don’t bother to look
Here upon this human beach 
For sympathies that 
Lay not in an estranged heart
