rebuild this city - apologetix lyrics
[intro chorus]
rebuild this city
rebuild this city, our god said so
build this city
rebuild this city, our god said so * hohhh!
[intrumental intro feat. electronic guitar]
[verse 1]
hey, you don’t know me ** or recognize my race
prayin’ our prayers to god ** in that bible place
we people of judah ** ancient israelites
you went and hauled away **gee, that wasn’t nice
[pre*chorus 1]
our holy place was conquered
let’s assume you maybe know
told to surrender
rebuild this city
rebuild this city, our god said so
[chorus]
rebuild this city
rebuild this city, our god said so
build this city
rebuild this city, our god said so
[turnaround]
[verse 2]
’cause we’re always straying ** foreign nations reigned
who cares? the lord is breaking foreign nations’ chains
things just got intense here ** someone stronger came
the one isaiah prophesied ** cyrus was his name
[pre*chorus 2]
our holy place was conquered
it’s jerusalem, you know
forced to surrender
rebuild this city
rebuild this city, our god said so
[chorus]
rebuild this city
rebuild this city, our god said so
build this city
rebuild this city, our god said so
[bridge]
it’s been a month of sundays
and the time is complete
but we forgot the old scrolls, oh, oh*oh, oh*oh*oh
decreed this was to be
[verse 3]
who counts the countries ** underneath the stars?
who writes the rise and fall ** of dudes from afar?
god helped us in egypt ** ’cause we’re his precious jewel
look at words of jeremiah ** comin’ true ** it’s cool
[interlude]
(“jeremiah 29:10 * this is what the lord says: ‘when seventy years are completed for babylon, i will come to you and fulfill my good promise to bring you back to this place.'”)
don’t you remember? (remember, member)
(“isaiah 45:13 * i will raise up cyrus in my righteousness: i will make all his ways straight. he will rebuild my city and set my exiles free”)
[pre*chorus 3]
our holy place was conquered
listen to isaiah, though
don’t you remember?
rebuild this city
rebuild this city, our god said so
[chorus]
rebuild this city
rebuild this city, our god said so
build this city
rebuild this city, our god said so
[chorus]
build this city (ooo*hooo…)
rebuild this city, our god said so
build this city
rebuild this city, our god said so * hohhh
[outro]
rebuild, rebuild this city, yeah (build this city)
rebuild, rebuild this city
rebuild, rebuild this city, yeah (build this city)
rebuild, rebuild this city
rebuild, rebuild this city, yeah (build this city)
rebuild, rebuild this city
rebuild, rebuild this city, yeah (build this city)
rebuild, rebuild this city
rebuild, rebuild this city (build this city)…
