City Of Refuge Lyrics

    You better run you better run and run and run
    You better run you better run
    You better run to the city of refuge
    You better run you better run
    You better run to the city of refuge

    You stand before your maker
    In a state of shame
    Bacause your robes are covered in mud
    While your kneel at the feet
    Of a woman of the street
    The gutters will run with blood
    They will run with blood!

    You better run, you better run
    You better run to the city of refuge
    You better run, you better run
    You better run to the city of refuge

    In the days of madness
    My brother, my sister
    When you're dragged toward the hell-mouth
    You will beg at the end
    But there ain't gonna be one, friend
    For the grave will spew you out
    It will spew you out!

    You better run, you better run
    You better run to the city of refuge
    You better run, you better run
    You better run to the city of refuge

    You'll be working in the darkness
    Against your fellow man
    And you'll find you're called to come forth
    So you'll scrub and you'll scrub
    But the trouble is, bud
    The blood it won't wash off
    No, it won't come off!

    You better run, you better run
    You better run to the city of refuge

    You better run, you better run
    You better run and run and run
    You better run to the city of refuge
