Intro :
You said that you were with me, you said you were my friend
Did you rea lly love the city or did y ou just pretend ?
You said you loved her secr ets and her free doms hid away
She was be tter than Ameri ca, that's what I heard you say
You said how could this happen, you said how can this be
The remnant all dishonored on the bridge of misery
And we who cried for mercy from the bottom of the pit
Was our prayer so damn unworthy the Son rejected it ?
So ga ther up the killers, get everyone in town
Stand me by those pill ars, let me take this temple d own
The king so kind and solemn he wears a bloody c rown
So s tand me by that column, let me t ake this temple down
You said how could this happen, you said how can this be
The chains are gone from heaven, the storms are wild and free
There's other ways to answer, that certainly is true
Me, I'm blind with death and anger and that's no place for you
There's a woman in the window, there's a bed in tinsel town
I'll write you when it's over, let me take this temple down
You said you loved her secrets, her freedoms hid away
She was better than America, that's what I heard you say
