Story Behind The Song

I was inspired to write this song whilst on a recent holiday in New York.

Lyrics

Insomniac City:

Sky scraper city 'gainst a sky of blue,
You've had your bad days
But I knew you'd make it through.
When the cloud of terror ruined your view.

Sky scraper city, concrete is your skin.
Your streets are like veins,
Your people are the heart that beats within.
Pumping life into everything.
Pumping life into everything.

C: When the state of your empire was crumbling,
And your liberty went up in flames.
I knew you'd ascend from the ashes.
Like a phoenix you'd rise again.

Stay awake insomniac city
Stay awake insomniac city

Sky scraper city there's no in between with you.
You're either hot or cold,
But we know where we stand with you.
Dreams are crushed or dreams come true

Sky scraper city, head and shoulders above the rest.
Keep standing straight and tall
From north to south and east to west.
Keep on doing what you do best.
Keep on doing what you do best.

C: When the state of your empire was crumbling,
And your liberty went up in flames.
I knew you'd ascend from the ashes.
Like a phoenix you'd rise again.

Lead: (1 Verse)




Sky scraper city stay awake through the sun and the rain,
And be ready if you find
Another bullet has your name.
May you never sleep again.
May you never sleep again.

C: When the state of your empire was crumbling,
And your liberty went up in flames.
I knew you'd ascend from the ashes.
Like a phoenix you'd rise again.

When the state of your empire was crumbling,
And your liberty went up in flames.
I knew you'd ascend from the ashes.
You'd live to see another day.

Stay awake insomniac city.
Stay awake insomniac city.

May your bright lights never fade.
I hope your bright lights never fade.
Insomniac city.
