The city never sleeps at all
I've been through hell and back again
Nothung could ever break my fall
When all the streets are soaked in sin

They try to break down all my walls
No good could ever come of this
Fight to death or not at all
Hold tight on your innocence

They'll chew you up and spit you out
Left penniless and hungry
No end to what they will devour

A shallow game for you to play
You'll never get the best of me
And if you die before you wake
A shallow grave will be your fate

So hard to hold onto your soul
When everybody wants a piece
If all these streets are paved in gold
The city sleeps in its desease

I'm not the one in your control
I never even wanted this
The martyrs lost inside your hold
Now drowning deep in the abyss

They'll chew you up and spit you out
Left penniless and hungry
No end to what they will devour
There's something wicked coming

A shallow game for you to play
You'll never get the best of me
And if you die before you wake
A shallow grave will be your fate

A shallow game for you to play
You'll never get the best of me
And if you die before you wake
A shallow grave will be your fate

A shallow game for you to play
I see right through your evil ways
And if you live to see the day
A shallow grave will be your fate
