NOTE: This song was written for the competition at SongFight.org, where each week entrants write a new song using the song title the site gives out. The title for the week I entered was "City in Fog", so that is how the song got its name.
City in Fog
==============================
I was at a cafe
the one at 4th and Grand
enjoying a coffee
paper in my hand
When I heard a shot
and then a deadly scream
blood on the walls
time slowed like a dream
What haunts us most
has come to pass
the crunch of footsteps
over broken glass
I lay on the floor
the sirens they wailed
justice would come
yet no one was jailed
Chorus
=================================
In a city of fog
there's a man with no name
rising from ashes
of sorrow and shame
Fighting for truth
always doing what's right
helping the world
sleep in peace tonight
=================================
In darkened streets
an evil is lurking
the balance of power
no longer is working
Best watch your back
it comes from behind
grabbing your soul
and robbing it blind
Blurring the line
we all must walk
who will be next
on that chopping block?
Pick up the pieces
you must carry on
dare to be king
no longer a pawn
Chorus
=================================
In a city of fog
there's a man with no name
rising from ashes
of sorrow and shame
Fighting for truth
always doing what's right
helping the world
rest in peace tonight
=================================
[fade to end]
There's a city in fog
a man with no name
terror and fear
burn like a flame
=================================
