lyrics

1,2,3 let’s go ...

What put me upon this journey
That led me here where snakes and vultures try to rape my soul
As this city feasts upon me
And in return she promises that she will make me whole
She offered me stars and diamonds
And other goods my simple mind found too good to believe
Drifting far North of the river
I realized that this dark city I will never leave

North of the river I begged for the truth
I sold my soul to London and gave her my youth

London’s calling – She wants to feast upon you
London’s calling – She wants to feast upon you
London’s calling – She wants to feast upon you
London’s calling – She wants to feast upon your youth

One more time let’s go ...

Young and blinded by desire
I followed the fox to a place from where was no return
Fed my hunger with her fire
She whispered that instead of fading out I’d rather burn
Introduced to her sensation
Out in her streets I felt feeling I’ve never felt before
Hypnotized by her temptation
Among her devils I found angels so I fear no more

Blinded so well by her glittering lights
So I can’t see the monster that she is inside

Unlike other mortal kingdoms
She still refuses to fall
Time has not an impact on her
Ageless London still stands tall
From the moment that she chose me
I reached out and took her hand
She is home and she’s forever
I am hers until the end
