Tore the Old Place Down - The Call

the whole town ran for cover

from the coming of the ghost

the lives of so many people

the coming of the host

its a good life, its a great gift

that lies hidden in the hope

the hope that holds young lovers

and they did not even know

they tore the old place down

there’s nothing more, aaoh

a man cries out in anguish

a man cries out alone

he says what’s happened to my city

what’s happened to my home

each child stands uncovered

make it be for old

he says what have you to show me you did not hear me call

they tore the old place down

there’s nothing more, oh oh oh oh they stood up on the balcony

they watched the city burn

is there nothing to be gained from this

is there nothing to be learned

we passed beyond the mountains

and the desert took us in it was a shining bright oasis

that marked the journey’s end

they tore the old place down

there’s nothing more
