The Call - Tore the Old Place Down lyrics

the whole town ran for cover from the coming of the ghost the lives of so many people the coming of the host its a good life, its a great gift that lies hidden in the hope the hope that holds young lovers and they did not even know they tore the old place down there's nothing more, aaoh a man cries out in anguish a man cries out alone he says what's happened to my city what's happened to my home each child stands uncovered make it be for old he says what have you to show me you did not hear me call they tore the old place down there's nothing more, oh oh oh oh they stood up on the balcony they watched the city burn is there nothing to be gained from this is there nothing to be learned we pa**ed beyond the mountains and the desert took us in it was a shining bright oasis that marked the journey's end they tore the old place down there's nothing more
