Big black wolf, clawing at your door
Dead man's hand, crawling across the floor
Witch on the horizon, brewing up a vex
Everyone in town is wondering who is next
Toothless tramp, crawling through the mud
Turned in to the dead by puffer fish blood
God of the sea, swinging his trident
Stoke our fires with the bones of tyrants

The city trudges on
Under a sky as grey as the mayor's heart

Meanest man alive, lives for a hundred years
Town pedophile, bathes in little girls tears
Ghosts of old love are blowing through the pines
Nicotine babies being born with no spines
Gather up the children and lead them to the cliffs
The anchor has been cut and we are all adrift
New plague is rolling through the slums of old town
Roaches move in, as rats have all drown

The city trudges on
Under a sky as grey as the mayor's heart
As grey as prison bars
As grey as a border fence
As grey as a chain
As grey as the mayor's heart
As grey as prison bars
As grey as a border fence
As grey as a chain
