dedicated to veterans of war who come home with PTSD

lyrics

Standing at the gates of your abandoned city
not quite in ruins, and not so pretty oh
I want to walk inside
looking down these streets of old
your cobbled paths I want to know, tell me dear
who you are and where you've been, mmm
please let me in

the sun shines brightly on green weeds
that line your boulevards
the parks are filled with trees
all etched with lover's hearts
won't you please let me in,
let me in to your city

from a distance it looks so majestic
gleaming towers can withstand anything
but now a battle rages inside there
my love, please take me there

the sun shines brightly on green weeds
that line your boulevards
the parks are filled with trees
all etched with lover's hearts
won't you please let me in, let me in
to your city

flesh and blood turn to mud
like a golem on a rampage in the dark
times have changed
time to see that the battle field is empty

someone stands there just inside the shadows
It's you at these hallowed gates, mmm
where your demons come to play
standing here your face shows nothing
your heart pounds to the point of exploding,
speak to me now of who you are
and where you've been
My Love, please let me in

the sun shines brightly on green weeds
that line your boulevards
the parks are filled with trees
all etched with lover's hearts
won't you please let me in
open up the door
you're not abandoned anymore
