lyrics

THE CITY OF THE BLIND

We are permanently confined in the city of the blind
It’s the price of security
They think we’ve lost our minds in the city of the blind With illusions of liberty
For we are much maligned in the city of the blind
But we are misunderstood
Whoever looks behind in the city of the blind
Leads for the common good

In the city of the blind
We can’t see what we can’t fight
In the city of the blind
Out of mind is out of sight
In the city of the blind
We face the flag and sing
In the city of the blind
Where the one eyed man is king

With our fates intertwined in the city of the blind
To some golden age we cling
We find ourselves resigned in the city of the blind
That we will not again take wing

It was cruel to be kind in the city of the blind
For all our eyes still sting
Then we took down the signs to the city of the blind
As more visitors they’d bring
