Through the cracks in the city

I can see the sad traces

Of yesterday's empires

With tomorrow's bad dreams

They'll come back to haunt us

Like the gaze in a mirror

Reflecting the stakes that we took to extremes

Oh

The cracks in the city

Will trap us and trip us

Making us fall to the ground that we love

And through the cracks in the city

I can hear voices calling

Taking us all from below to above

To above

So I will follow this path

That my life lays before me

That yesterday's hero

Never dared to dream

About the stories and tales

All the long hidden memories

That sound like the echoes

Of a tale told between

Oh

Between the cracks in the city

Will trap us and trip us

Making us fall to the ground that we love

And through the cracks in the city

I can hear voices calling

Taking us all from below to above

To above

The search for oblivion

Starts out in the daylight

Listening to people

All trying to be first

But dreaming in darkness

Will offer no solace

When all the king's horses

Are dying of thirst

Oh

The cracks in the city

That will trap us and trip us

Making us fall to the ground that we love

And through the cracks in the city

I can hear voices calling

Taking us all from below to above

To above
