They thought the streets were paved with gold And riches still untold They didn't realise the truth I heard the stories long ago How young men went alone Searching for fortune and for fame
A final chance to make amends The phoenix from the flames Evolving tales from history Carry our hope for all these years And letting go your fears To leave the mark on Neverworld
[Chorus I:] And when the daylight fades, it's dangerous outside Don't walk the streets alone, you just might not survive Out there in the shadows they are waiting there for you Waiting for the moment to arrive
[Chorus II:] Nowhere to hide in the city of lies No one to turn to, life's on the line Nothing to save you from what you'll become Caught in a web, trapped in the city of lies
I see the truth with my own eyes There's nothing to disguise A city now consumed by crime There are no rainbows and no gold Just nightmares to be sold To desperate souls on borrowed time
