My City Of Ruins Lyrics
on the cold dark ground
and the rain is falling down
The church doors blown open
I can hear the organ's song
But the congregation's gone
My city of ruins
My city of ruins
Now the sweet veils of mercy
drift...

He writes protest songs. I think it's about a bomb blowing up a church and this guy is crying because it was everything he lived for.
