The Protomen - Hold Back the Night lyrics
[The Protomen - Hold Back the Night lyrics]
When I was young
Couldn't stand to believe it
Somewhere there was a sun left to shine
Now my heart won't be still 'til I've seen it
Won't be still 'til I've made it mine
There's a fear, can't be seen
It surrounds me
As afraid of the dark as the light
Was a time, long ago, these were safe streets
Now I'm the only one that keeps me alive
Keep me alive!
But, I know a hero will come
There's a face that I've seen in the windows
There's a face of a stronger man
When I turn, as a leaf when the wind blows
Gone away is the will in his hand
You've been fed what they wanted to feed you
You've been bled of the will to survive
Now you stand just as long as they need you
But, you're the only one that keeps you alive
Keep you alive
But, I know a hero will come
And the night, the night will be torn apart
And I know we won't fight alone
And the spark that we carry
Will turn the dark into
A flame, a fire, a light
There must be an end to the darkness
There must be an end to the darkness
There must be an end to the darkness
There must be an end to the darkness
There must be an end to the darkness
No one will come, this city is dead
But all of your heroes are gone
And the blood that they spilled
Is on my hands
A darkness will block out the sun
Not a thing can be done with so few men
That a hero couldn't do!
When the voice from the shadows calls you
When the wind whips past your ears
Will you stand when the weight is upon you
Or will you go to your knees in fear?
There's a chance
Though I know it's a long shot
And the city's out of time
All for naught if your heart stops beating
'Cause you're the only one
That keeps it alive god, keep it alive!
But, I know a hero will come
And none of your heroes are gone
(We can hold out) someone's got to
No one left to
Bring back the light (Past this endless dark)
And I know we won't fight alone
A darkness will block out the sun
(All a fire needs)
If we can't find a way to hold back the night
(Is a single spark)
But, I know a hero will come
And all of your heroes are gone
(We can hold out) someone's got to
No one left to
Bring back the light (Past this endless dark)
And I know we won't fight alone
A darkness will block out the sun
(All a fire needs)
If we can't find a way to hold back the night
(Is a single spark)
And I know a hero will come
And none of your heroes are gone
(We can hold out) someone's got to
No one left to
Bring back the light (Past this endless dark)
And I know we won't fight alone
A darkness will block out the sun
(All a fire needs, yeah)
If we can't find a way to hold back the night
Couldn't stand to believe it
Somewhere there was a sun left to shine
Now my heart won't be still 'til I've seen it
Won't be still 'til I've made it mine
There's a fear, can't be seen
It surrounds me
As afraid of the dark as the light
Was a time, long ago, these were safe streets
Now I'm the only one that keeps me alive
Keep me alive!
But, I know a hero will come
There's a face that I've seen in the windows
There's a face of a stronger man
When I turn, as a leaf when the wind blows
Gone away is the will in his hand
You've been fed what they wanted to feed you
You've been bled of the will to survive
Now you stand just as long as they need you
But, you're the only one that keeps you alive
Keep you alive
But, I know a hero will come
And the night, the night will be torn apart
And I know we won't fight alone
And the spark that we carry
Will turn the dark into
A flame, a fire, a light
There must be an end to the darkness
There must be an end to the darkness
There must be an end to the darkness
There must be an end to the darkness
There must be an end to the darkness
No one will come, this city is dead
But all of your heroes are gone
And the blood that they spilled
