the city of light

though death has seen its own defeat
on planks of wood and innocent blood
it's still a cracked well where our trust fell
we await the day when our eyes will see

doubting faces reminiscent of me
and mended wounds that stand before the king

you're making everything new

soon wars will cease and we'll dance on streets
of water and gold, clear as crystal
the leaves of trees will heal cities
and the throne of old will guide the road

then our tears will cease to salt the earth
and the named will sing as we stand before the king

so break these cisterns and give us springs of life
