Upon the Hill

[Verse 1]
As we stood out, over the sea, and gazed deep
The empty abyss of moody blue drifted to sleep
Sorrow's night
A candle's light
A single flame
The moon, it wept our bitter tears over smeared names

[Chorus]
Upon a hill, we sat and watched the moon fall down
The stars wrapped in darkness of night
Upon the hill, we sat so still
We prayed but our tongues had no voice

[Bridge]
They tore down our walls
They tear down us all
We pray and we pray, but still they fall
Empty and weak
We scream and we call
We thought it would last time eternal

[Verse 2]
But, time went its way
Our cursed tongues scream their names
And nothing could be saved
From the weight of our endless sin

[Chorus]
Upon the hill, we built up our city
Wrapped in the stars of the night
Underneath, we had no pity
Partook of the curse of our life
