Zlam Dunk - Monterrey Lyrics

I knew that day that I found my home
By the cement banks and river's glow
We will all leave what we love the most
And as it comes to a close
We will return back to the folds
Back to where transparency shows
Back to where our shadows grow
When lights hit our backs
Where our shadows go
When we leave for the city
Wearing our father's clothes
Let's see what the city holds
As for the rest, we'll let it go
We'll build a fire and fan the coals
Let's see what the city holds
As for the rest, we'll let it go
We'll build a fire and fan the coals
Maybe what you've found just isn't gold
And there's coiled snakes around your throne
There's writing on the walls
And your iron blood has turned to stone
With broken spears and bloody knives
I'll never look into your eyes
We were once refused
But now I make my fight
This city used to be so bright
We were surrounded by a million lights
Each telling us that we'd be alright
When the river dries, we will burn our lives
And climb the clouds as the ashes rise
For what we found was buried deep inside
We have it in our bones
To make this place our home
We have it in our bones
To make this place our home
Maybe what you've found just isn't gold
And there's coiled snakes around your throne
There's writing on the walls
And your iron blood has turned to stone
With broken spears and bloody knives
I'll never look into your eyes
We were once refused
But now I make my fight

I knew that day that I found my home
By the cement banks and river's glow
We will all leave what we love the most
And as it comes to a close
We will return back to the folds
Back to where transparency shows
Back to where our shadows grow
When lights hit our backs
Where our shadows go
When we leave for the city
Wearing our father's clothes
Let's see what the city holds
As for the rest, we'll let it go
We'll build a fire and fan the coals
Let's see what the city holds
As for the rest, we'll let it go
We'll build a fire and fan the coals
Maybe what you've found just isn't gold
And there's coiled snakes around your throne
There's writing on the walls
And your iron blood has turned to stone
With broken spears and bloody knives
I'll never look into your eyes
We were once refused
But now I make my fight
This city used to be so bright
We were surrounded by a million lights
Each telling us that we'd be alright
When the river dries, we will burn our lives
And climb the clouds as the ashes rise
For what we found was buried deep inside
We have it in our bones
To make this place our home
We have it in our bones
To make this place our home
Maybe what you've found just isn't gold
And there's coiled snakes around your throne
There's writing on the walls
And your iron blood has turned to stone
With broken spears and bloody knives
I'll never look into your eyes
We were once refused
But now I make my fight
