Battle Born Lyrics - Battle Born - The Killers

You lost faith in the human spirit 

You walk around like a ghost 

Your star-spangled heart 

Took a train for the coast 

When you shine you're a hilltop mansion 

So how'd you lose the light? 

Was it blown by the wind 

In the still of the night? 

We're up against the wall 

Up against the wall 

There's something dying on the street 

When they knock you down 

You're gonna get back on your feet 

(No you can't stop now)

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

I always saw you as a kind of keeper 

A mother to a child 

But your boys have grown soft 

And your girls have gone wild 

From the Blue Ridge to the Black Hills 

To the redwood sky 

The season may pass 

But the dream doesn't die 

Now don't you drop the ball 

Up against the wall 

There's something dying on the street 

When they knock you down 

You're gonna get back on your feet 

(No you can't stop now) 

When they break your heart 

When they cause your soul to mourn 

Remember what I said 

Boy you was battle born 

Photos 

(No, you can't stop now) 

You was battle born 

When the night falls on the land 

Are you haunted by the sound? 

It's gonna take more than a hand 

To turn this thing around 

Won't you lean it on me? 

Rescue, set me free 

Up against the wall (Up against the wall) 

There's something dying on the street 

When they knock you down (Up against the wall) 

You're gonna get back on your feet 

Cause you can't stop now (Cause you can't stop now) 

Did they break your heart? (Did they break your heart?) 

And did they cause your soul to mourn 

Remember what I said 

Boy you was battle born 

Cause you can't stop now (Cause you can't stop now) 

Come on show your face 

Come on give us one more spark 

Sing a song of fire 

Lest we fall into the dark 

And you can't stop now (No, you can't stop now) 

You never live 

If you never learn 

You never shine 

If you never burn 

The rising tide 

The undertow 

The famine and 

The overflow 

You turn away
