Lyrics
Tourists stumble down Broadway
– Peregrinatores offendunt broadway
Cumberland keeps claiming bodies
– Cumberland servat dicens corpora
All our best memories
– I migliori esperti al tuo servizio
Were bought and then turned into apartments
– Et conversus empti sunt in conclavia
The club with all the hardcore shows
– Clava cum omnibus hardcore ostendit
Now just a greyscale Domino’s
– Nunc iustus a greyscale Domini
The churches overflow each Sunday, greedy Sunday morning
– Ecclesiae inundant singulis dominicis diebus, dominica avarus mane
Giftshop in the lobby
– Vestibulum Giftshop
Act like God ain’t watching
– Ergo cum deus non sit
Kill the soul, turn a profit
– Occide animam, converte lucrum
What lives on? Southern Gotham
– Quid est vita? Gotham Meridionalem
I’m the one who still loves your ghost
– Ego sum qui adhuc spiritum tuum amat
I reanimate your bones
– Et ossa tua conturbata sunt
With my belief
– Si fidei
I’m the one who still loves your ghost
– Ego sum qui adhuc spiritum tuum amat
I reanimate your bones
– Et ossa tua conturbata sunt
‘Cause I’m a true believer
– ‘Causa ego sum verus fidelis
They put up chain-link fences underneath the biggest bridges
– Catenae nexus sepes sub maximis pontibus posuerunt
They pose in Christmas cards with guns as big as all their children
– In Schedulis Nativitatis Domini ponunt cum tormentis tam magnis quam omnibus liberis suis
They say that Jesus is the way but then they gave him a white face
– Dicunt Iesum esse viam sed tunc dederunt ei faciem albam
So they don’t have to pray to someone they deem lesser than them
– Itaque non habent orare alicui minus putant
The South will not rise again
– Meridies non resurget
‘Til it’s paid for every sin
– ‘Donec suus’ solvit pro omni peccato
Strange fruit, hard bargain
– Mirum fructum, difficile pacisci
Till the roots, Southern Gotham
– Usque ad radices, Gotham Meridionalem
I’m the one who still loves your ghost
– Ego sum qui adhuc spiritum tuum amat
I reanimate your bones
– Et ossa tua conturbata sunt
With my belief
– Si fidei
I’m the one who still loves your ghost
– Ego sum qui adhuc spiritum tuum amat
I reanimate your bones
– Et ossa tua conturbata sunt
‘Cause I’m a true believer
– ‘Causa ego sum verus fidelis
I’m the one who still loves your ghost
– Ego sum qui adhuc spiritum tuum amat
I reanimate your bones
– Et ossa tua conturbata sunt
With my belief
– Si fidei
I’m the one who still loves your ghost (Ah-ah)
– Ego sum qui adhuc amat spiritum tuum (Ah-ah)
I reanimate your bones
– Et ossa tua conturbata sunt
‘Cause I’m a true believer (Ah-ah-ah)
– Si vero fideles fuerint, dandam eis [q] esse communionem.
