The Resistance Lyrics - Chemical City - Sam Roberts

We are descendants of the free 

We are the soldiers of the Cause 

We shouted out the same decree 

To hold the truth above the law 

Those were the nights to remember 

Now they're the nights to forget 

We sang from May to September and we danced 

While the city slept 

I was born a restless soul 

I never did what I was told 

That old fire rages on 

I hope it burns after I'm gone 

I'm getting tired of the same old thing 

It only takes one soul to make a change 

It takes two young hearts to make it beat again 

Three long nights and you're on the mend 

Living, loving, swinging, ducking 

We might fail but we have to try 

I poked my finger in the public eye 

Those were the nights to remember 

Now they're the nights to forget 

We sang from May to September and we danced 

While the city slept 

We are the only chance 

This is our resistance 

And if we fail then we all know 

How it goes, it goes 

How it goes, it goes 

I navigate the mines we lay 

And I'm comin' home but not today 

I fought my way through the hungry mob 

The Mayor and his henchmen on the job 

We faced-off like it was High Noon, 

We both let fly and our aim was true 

Yeah! 

Those were the nights to remember 

Now they're the nights to forget 

We sang from May to September and we danced 

While the city slept 

Those were the nights to remember 

Now they're the nights to forget 

We sang from May to September and we danced 

While the city slept 

So even if you can't see it 

You can still believe in it 

It's easier if you lose all the things that prevent you from seeing it 

In the evening sun when the Earth and sky are one 

We all come undone and remember where we came from 

So even if you can't see it 

You can still believe in it 

It's easier if you lose all the things that prevent you from seeing it 

In the evening sun when the Earth and sky are one 

We all come undone and remember where we came from
