I've seen your face in the shadows
I've seen your face in the places I wasn't meant to be
I've heard them whisper about you
I've heard the men in the bars
And I've seen the women lock their doors at night
Lock your doors tonight
They say your eyes are on fire
They say you'd kill a man for walking the wrong side of the line
Wrong side of the line
But men, they say a lot of foolish things
And in the end the only words I can find to believe in are mine
They say:
This city, she's been dead for years now
For years now
So death is not something that scares me
That scares me
There's worse things than death here
They told me
(Keep quiet)
I will not be told where to stand!
I will not be told what to say!
Not by man or machine!
Not by you, not by anyone tonight!
You're gonna have to do better than fear!
You're gonna have to step out of the shadows and fight!
And when they see your face again
They will know what it means to have fear dragged out into the light
Drag it out!
They say:
This city, she's been dead for years now
For years now
So death is not something, not something that scares me
That scares me
So come on!
Come on!
Step into the light!
This city, she's been dead for years now
For years now
So death is not something that scares me
That scares me
There's worse things
Than death here
There's loss and there's silence and sadness
So come on
Come on!
Just open your mouths and revive it
Ooh, aaah
Ooh, aaah
Ooh, aaah
Just open your mouths and revive it!
