Victims - Act I

Downtown I walk
 Through New York City so hot
 The summer swelter melting
 Got things on my mind right now
 In the alleys that I take
 They just don't give up an inch
 I turned and saw it all
 I watched him fall
 I tried to catch him
 But they knocked me out cold too
 "Babylon" he cried
 The cost in flesh and blood is rising high
 Things are falling apart it all seems
 Bleeding in the gutter
 The waste of random acts of violence
 Where's the Savior to rescue our dreams?
 Desperation's crawling
 We're victims of a world that's gone so wrong?
 Hours later when I woke
 I was lying in some darkened basement rescue mission
 They're tending to my needs and wounds
 They were such a sorry lot
 The very bottom of the social ladder
 I just caught myself before I cried
 They've nothing at all
 But they're the only ones there to help
 Eden's sin's alive
 Stalking me
 Stalking everyone
 Things are falling apart it all seems
 Tears that speak in volumes
 The eyes of all these hopeless people
 Where's the Savior to rescue our dreams?
 Desperation's crawling
 On victims of a power hungry world!
