lyrics

Tonight
tonight we burn the flag
on a shoreline swept by waves
Where undercurrents drag
the filth of this world
to the ocean floor
A place where your
excuses aren't
needed anymore

This is not the Golden Age,
that's the plain and simple truth
But we're in this together and
that's enough to make it through

Tonight
tonight we're going down
Looking for Atlantis
and steal some rusty crowns

Oh tonight
tonight we'll rise again
Somewhere in a quiet bay
We were beggars all our lives
but now we're kings for a day

This is not the Golden Age,
that's the plain and simple truth
But we're in this together and
that's enough to make it through

The fires in our hearts still rage,
we've kept the dream alive
And if we keep on dreaming,
I'm sure that we'll survive

Tonight
Tonight we'll rise again
Somewhere in a quiet bay
We were beggars all our lives
but now we're kings for a day
