City of Gold Lyrics

Oh dead man come alive

The grave has kept you too long

It's no more your fight

Rest easy tonight

From these ashes you've been reborn

Raptured were many a time ago

Now unknown to these lands

Join them all in eternal song one day

Sing victory at the gates

Cause I know there's a City of Gold

Where thousands of candles burn in the streets

Lead soldiers to their homes

The City of Gold

Assuming you're alive

When your body's now dead and gone

Be ready to fight

Protecting the light

The bridge to carry on

Martyrs no longer of this world

Care to stay

Burdened spirits dying from this weight

Lay it all down at the gates

Cause I know there's a City of Gold

Where thousands of candles burn in the streets

Lead soldiers to their homes

Don't you know there's a City of Hope

No more hatred or death but the promise of peace

From the kingdom & the throne

The City of Gold

After this I looked

And there before me was a great multitude that no one could count

From every tribe, nation, people and tongue

Standing before the throne and before the Lamb

They were wearing white robes

And were holding palm branches in their hands

And they cried out in a loud voice:

'Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb'

Cause I know there's a City of Gold

Where thousands of candles burn in the streets

Lead soldiers to their homes

Don't you know there's a City of Hope

No more hatred or death but the promise of peace

From the kingdom & the throne

The City of Gold

The City of Gold

The City of Gold
