The Protomen – The Fight

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 chase 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 sound will rise I swear it)

And as long as your alive

Then the fight is already done

The hope of man his own 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

They will search beneath the ashes for the will to carry on

I know!

I know!

I know!

I know

I know the sound of violence

(This city’s heart still beating)

(The sound will rise I swear it)
