Streetlight Manifesto - We Will Fall Together lyrics
[Streetlight Manifesto - We Will Fall Together lyrics]
I once knew a guy
Obsessed with the afterlife
Oh, what a terrible day that was
He realized he'd wasted all his time
Time was ticking by
And he'd been left behind
And as the clock tick-tocked
His heart did stop
And everything he had was fucked
And we know not what we do
(Can you hear them call?)
Will we ever make it through?
As they watch us fall
From the sky, to the ground, to the sea
Woe is me, woe is me
No one will save you now
We can only look away (away)
We'll not be victims
There'll be no victims of to speak
And only then will we be free
And up will rise the meek
And when we fall, we will fall together
No one will catch us so we'll catch ourselves
And when we roam, we will roam forever
No one will understand what we meant
The beaten and the bruised
Forsaken, the abused
Oh, what a glorious day we'll have
Rising up and claiming all our dues
The day will come
As sure as the ever-setting sun
All of those that self-imposed
Will find themselves so indisposed
And we know not what we do
(Can you hear them call?)
Will we ever make it through?
As they watch us fall
From the sky, to the ground, to the sea
Woe is me, woe is me
No one will save you now
We can only look away (away)
We'll not be victims
There'll be no victims of to speak
And only then will we be free
And up will rise the meek
And when we fall, we will fall together
No one will catch us so we'll catch ourselves
And when we roam, we will roam forever
No one will understand what we meant
Now, with the line drawn in the wet sand
You need to tell us where to stand
Sitting, waiting, watching
Rotting everything they warned us of is true
Now tell me what we're all supposed to do
They're coming after all of us
With everything they've got
With the fury of a soldier who
Will answer to his God
So how will we fight? All we have
Is logic and love on our side
And when we fall we will fall together
No one will catch us so we'll catch ourselves
And when we roam we will roam forever
No one will understand what we meant
Obsessed with the afterlife
Oh, what a terrible day that was
He realized he'd wasted all his time
Time was ticking by
And he'd been left behind
And as the clock tick-tocked
His heart did stop
And everything he had was fucked
And we know not what we do
(Can you hear them call?)
Will we ever make it through?
As they watch us fall
From the sky, to the ground, to the sea
Woe is me, woe is me
No one will save you now
We can only look away (away)
We'll not be victims
There'll be no victims of to speak
And only then will we be free
And up will rise the meek
And when we fall, we will fall together
No one will catch us so we'll catch ourselves
And when we roam, we will roam forever
No one will understand what we meant
The beaten and the bruised
Forsaken, the abused
Oh, what a glorious day we'll have
Rising up and claiming all our dues
The day will come
As sure as the ever-setting sun
All of those that self-imposed
Will find themselves so indisposed
And we know not what we do
(Can you hear them call?)
Will we ever make it through?
As they watch us fall
From the sky, to the ground, to the sea
Woe is me, woe is me
No one will save you now
We can only look away (away)
We'll not be victims
There'll be no victims of to speak
And only then will we be free
And up will rise the meek
And when we fall, we will fall together
No one will catch us so we'll catch ourselves
And when we roam, we will roam forever
No one will understand what we meant
