Flipping up the light trying to survive this endless fight
If you shoot them down, we can make it right, we'll make it right
And they light the sky as they multiply, they multiply
No matter what they try, they won't take away our will to fight
If you shoot them down, we can make it right, we'll make it right

They broke the walls we guarded
But we don't care about it
We'll finish what we started
So promise me that
We'll be the lionhearted
For we don't care about it
We'll finish what we started
So promise me that they'll fall

No matter what they try, they won't take away our will to fight
If the ship went down, we can make it right, we'll make it right
And up against all odds, take a thousand lives, a thousand lights
No matter what they try, they won't take away our will to fight
If you shoot them down, we can make it right, we'll make it right

They broke the walls we guarded
But we don't care about it
We'll finish what we started
So promise me that
We'll be the lionhearted
For we don't care about it
We'll finish what we started
So promise me that they'll fall

We'll be the lionhearted
But we don't care about it
We'll finish what we started
So promise me that they'll fall
