Letra de 'The Fight' de The Protomen

Through the years I've heard the city cry
Somehow I always hoped you'd 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 meant
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)
When the night weighs down on you (heart stopped beating)
There's a reason you survive (the Sun)
And as long as you're alive (is in a grave)
Then the fight is never really done (is already done)

The hope of man is no machine
It's bearing 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's still beating)
I know
(The Sun will rise, I swear it)
I know, I know (I know the weight you're feeling)
I know that's how the fight ends
You're strong enough to bear it

This city's heart's still beating
The Sun will rise, I swear it
I know the weight you're feeling
You're strong enough to bear it
