In Your City

Tomar Shawhoray - In Your City

1)
In your city there dwells no thief
No one dies
Your city practices no religion
Knows not how to lie.

Pre-Chorus
Have you ever thought of the escape route?
When will these limited celebrations come to an end?
‘Get your lost keys made, instantly’ – keymaker
trudges down the road
Coffins are still being sold in the market.

Chorus :
What your two hands are now scrambling for,
I know not where you’ll store them
This, yes this could be the last opportunity
Grab it, crave for life for the sake of living.

2)
Your God you’ve not seen,
He too does not know you,
Sleeping on which side makes you comfortable
No one else knows, other than you.

Pre-chorus
Standing alone on the road, vulnerable,
Getting drenched in torrential rain
Wiping their eyes cars go passing by,
Black umbrellas hazier.
