Chorus / Description : The song speaks of the struggle between the temptations of this world and the desire for a higher, eternal city. It encourages lifting our eyes to a city where life will never die, referencing the concept of heaven and the need to focus on eternal values rather than worldly pleasures.
Iā??m waking up again
In this land of shadows
My eyes are growing dim
Lured toward the gallows
So light my soul ablaze
A field on fire
Take me to that place
Of one desire
O tempted heart, come alive
I feel you burning inside
Weary soul, lift your eyes
To a city where life will never die
But the dark and immediate
They come so easy
So I keep on giving in
To the things that kill me
O tempted heart, come alive
I feel you burning inside
Weary soul, lift your eyes
To a city where life will never die
This rusted world canā??t satisfy
Thereā??s nothing here that will survive
The night will end
The sun will rise
On a city where life will never die
Dark eyes, look up
See a kingdom come
Burn within our lungs
Further up, further on
Higher
Take me higher
O tempted heart, come alive
I feel you burning inside
Weary soul, lift up your eyes
To a city where life will never die
ā??Cause this rusted world canā??t satisfy
Thereā??s nothing here that will survive
The night will end
The sun will rise
On a city where life will never die
Oh the city, the city will never die, no
