The Protomen - The Fight lyrics
[The Protomen - The Fight lyrics]
Through the years I’ve heard the city cry
Somehow I always hoped to make it right
Today I watched that hope catch fire
Don’t ask me now to sit and watch you die
I’m sorry for the way your father went
I wish there’s something more
It could have been
But each of us was born to die
And now I know that’s how the story ends
And I know we’ve had our time
I know we’ve had a chance
But, I know the fight is already done
My father told me once when I was young
Oh a man cannot undo the things he’s done
But even though you can’t go back
You change the path by choosing to move on
When there’s nothing you can do
This city’s heart is still beating
When the night weighs down on you
There’s a reason you survive
The sun will rise I swear it
And as long as you’re alive
Then the fight is already done
Then the fight is never really done
The hope of man is no machine
It’s there in hands of skin and bone
And now our time has come
If we ever had a chance
We will stand against the fire
For as long as we can stand
If we make it through the night
If we live to see the dawn
Then we’ll search beneath the ashes for
The will to carry on
I know!
This city’s heart is still beating
I know!
The sun will rise I swear it
I know!
I know the rage you’re feeling
I know!
I know that's how the fight ends!
I’m strong enough to bear it
This city’s heart is still beating
The sun will rise I swear it
I know the rage you’re feeling
I’m strong enough to bear it
Somehow I always hoped to make it right
Today I watched that hope catch fire
Don’t ask me now to sit and watch you die
I’m sorry for the way your father went
I wish there’s something more
It could have been
But each of us was born to die
And now I know that’s how the story ends
And I know we’ve had our time
I know we’ve had a chance
But, I know the fight is already done
My father told me once when I was young
Oh a man cannot undo the things he’s done
But even though you can’t go back
You change the path by choosing to move on
When there’s nothing you can do
This city’s heart is still beating
When the night weighs down on you
There’s a reason you survive
The sun will rise I swear it
And as long as you’re alive
Then the fight is already done
Then the fight is never really done
The hope of man is no machine
It’s there in hands of skin and bone
And now our time has come
If we ever had a chance
We will stand against the fire
For as long as we can stand
If we make it through the night
If we live to see the dawn
Then we’ll search beneath the ashes for
The will to carry on
I know!
This city’s heart is still beating
I know!
The sun will rise I swear it
I know!
I know the rage you’re feeling
I know!
I know that's how the fight ends!
I’m strong enough to bear it
This city’s heart is still beating
The sun will rise I swear it
I know the rage you’re feeling
I’m strong enough to bear it
