Hard as the kick in a young mans stride I stabbed myself back into the night One heel in front, one heel behind Life in the Empire State... Angels and devils before my eyes The palms of my hands hung by my side Helpless I watched them destroy and divide Life in the Empire State... Cold were my bones, warm was the fire White was your face cast to my mind Bright as ever any light that shined On Life in the Empire State Into the Void I roared in vain What if the Souths gonna do it again Promise youll b by my side for the end Of Life in the Empire State... Shrug off the shifting weight of home And hope that the Almight Anchor will hold Was there room in your heart for your weakest son all along Whistle sirens the Blind comin on... No matter how lionhearted my will I still stray beyond? I threw up my hands and swore Id find more in your arms Was the Narrow Way there in our midst all along Sounds like the empire States comin on...
