Save Our City
Ludo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The zombies are marching, they close on the square
Families are cold, look down at their souls
Huddled in camps on the old marble steps of City Hall
Faith in their God, that's all that they've got."
Across the room, beyond the pane
The whole world is churning, bleeding and burning, hailstorms and ash
Over the soldiers who sag in the mud.
[Chorus]
Save our city
Keep our souls, Lord
Through the rapture
Of this world.
"Little boy, I'm just a man, a mere civil servant
Against this tyrant God
I've allied with our King, salvation he brings
Protecting the city against all the troops Heaven sent
But the dead walk again, this is the end.
Oh I'm just a man, my time has come
Long live King Simius! May he deliver us from this nightmare!"
And with a blast like the sun
His lips are unwrapped from the barrel of his gun.
[Chorus]
Fought and fell for our great king
We burned alive and boiled
The dragon, red and wrathful calls
We rise and march once more.
Cursed in death, we starve for flesh
Our skin is cooked and curled
We'll eat our kin and smash them in
In Hell, we'll grind their bones.
[Chorus]
Save our city
Keep our souls, Lord God
Through the rapture
Of this world.
Save our city
(Fought and fell for our great king)
Keep our souls, Lord God
(We burned alive and boiled)
Through [the mayor's ruined head, the boy steps through the window] the
Rapture
(The dragon, red and wrathful calls)
Of this world. [and cries out from the ledge to the people below.]
(We rise and march once more.)
Save our city (There's a time to pray and there's a time to fight)
(Cursed in death, we starve for flesh)
Keep our souls, Lord God (Anything can be a weapon if you're holding it right)
(Our skin is cooked and curled)
Through the rapture [Defend what is yours, they will not take our souls]
(We'll eat our skin and smash them in)
And so we [it's time now to] rise and fight!
Save our city!
Keep our souls, Lord!
Rise now and fight!
The lyrics to Ludo's song "Save Our City" describe a post-apocalyptic scene where zombies are marching towards the city, families are cold and huddled in camps, and the world is churning and burning. The mayor is seen as powerless and struggling to lead his people against a tyrant God who has brought this apocalypse upon them. Despite this, the people still have faith in their God and are praying for salvation in the midst of the chaos.
The song is an allegory for the fragility of human life and the destructive power of unchecked power. It speaks to the human desire for salvation and the need to keep faith even in the darkest of times. The lyrics make use of powerful imagery to vividly describe the post-apocalyptic world and the struggles of its people, creating a sense of urgency that speaks to the inherent desire within each person to survive and thrive.
Line by Line Meaning
Mr. Mayor, the mission burns
The situation is urgent and we need action now
The zombies are marching, they close on the square
The enemy is approaching and we must defend ourselves
Families are cold, look down at their souls
The people are suffering and their spirits are broken
Huddled in camps on the old marble steps of City Hall
The people are seeking shelter and protection in City Hall
Faith in their God, that's all that they've got.
The people are relying on their faith to see them through this crisis
Across the room, beyond the pane
Looking out the window, we see
The whole world is churning, bleeding and burning, hailstorms and ash
The world is in chaos, with destruction and death all around
The moon is as blood
The sky is red and foreboding
Over the soldiers who sag in the mud.
The soldiers are tired and defeated, struggling in the mud
Save our city
We need to protect our home
Keep our souls, Lord
Pray for our survival
Through the rapture
In the midst of this apocalypse
Of this world.
The world we know is coming to an end
Little boy, I'm just a man, a mere civil servant
The singer is acknowledging his limitations and position
Against this tyrant God
The enemy is so powerful it seems like an act of God
I've allied with our King, salvation he brings
The artist has joined forces with the leader who can save us
Protecting the city against all the troops Heaven sent
The enemy force is so strong that it seems like it comes from heaven
But the dead walk again, this is the end.
The enemy is too powerful to defeat
Oh I'm just a man, my time has come
The singer is accepting his fate and giving up
Long live King Simius! May he deliver us from this nightmare!
The artist is still hopeful that the leader can save us
And with a blast like the sun
The artist is committing suicide
His lips are unwrapped from the barrel of his gun.
He has shot himself
Fought and fell for our great king
Many people have died in the fight for our survival
We burned alive and boiled
The enemy has used horrific tactics in their attack
The dragon, red and wrathful calls
The enemy is relentless and evil
We rise and march once more.
We will continue to fight for our survival
Cursed in death, we starve for flesh
Even in death, the enemy still has power over us
Our skin is cooked and curled
We are in constant pain and torment
We'll eat our kin and smash them in
Things have become so dire that we are resorting to cannibalism
In Hell, we'll grind their bones.
We will seek revenge on our enemies, even in death
There's a time to pray and there's a time to fight
We must pray for our survival, but also take action to protect ourselves
Anything can be a weapon if you're holding it right
Even the smallest object can be used to defend ourselves
Defend what is yours, they will not take our souls
We must protect what is important to us, even if everything else is lost
And so we rise and fight!
We will not give up and will continue to fight for our survival
