lyrics

Cities Lie
By Arnold Cifax Jr

Verse 1
I saw it on the brightest form of T.V. screens.
They’re offering me freedom at the price of dreams.
Their hope is worthless but it floats in aisle three.
Right next to prostitution as the prize for greed.

And you would buy all of these.
And you would please sympathy.
At the gates of hell where you would be.
Because your soul would lack a certain, quality.

Chorus
This city claims it knows the price.
Of heaven bound eternal life.
Where there’s no need for sacrifice.
But we both know that cities lie.

Verse 2
We’re all shaped in iniquity.
Born into sin and tragedy.
Where a God in heaven could never see.
Pass all this sin inside of me.

This sin would come with penalty.
The eternal death of you and me.
There is only price, to cancel every sinners cost.
One perfect man giving his life, upon a cross.

Chorus
This city claims it knows the price.
Of heaven bound eternal life.
Where there’s no need for sacrifice.
But we both know that cities lie.
