You stood tall and proud Your voice clear and loud Withstood the hands of time With all your winds of Rhyme And with your winding streets At which no ends meet I'm lost in your memory Found in your discovery City that's bona fide Beautiful Alicante With soaring towers made of glass Protect the city from those who trespass But wards were broken The Unspeakable was spoken Demons ran rampant through the streets While fear like rain fell in sheets After a thousand years You finally shed your tears And though you lie crumbled and defeated on the hill You remain, the Shadowhunter's home still And I still see your towers that burn Violet clouds that roil and churn Fragile, and guards no longer from those who trespass You remain, my broken City of glass

City of Glass
You stood tall and proud Your voice clear and loud Withstood the hands of time With all your winds of Rhyme And with your winding streets At which no ends meet I'm lost in your memory Found in your discovery City that's bona fide Beautiful Alicante With soaring towers made of glass Protect the city from those who trespass But wards were broken The Unspeakable was spoken Demons ran rampant through the streets While fear like rain fell in sheets After a thousand years You finally shed your tears And though you lie crumbled and defeated on the hill You remain, the Shadowhunter's home still And I still see your towers that burn Violet clouds that roil and churn Fragile, and guards no longer from those who trespass You remain, my broken City of glass
