歌詞

The night is quiet now, so cold and still

Hiding its face, hiding its will

The scent of burning lingers on the street

A memory that everyone is trying to cheat

The sounds continue outside the official lines

If you can’t hear them, then everything is fine

But I still hear the echo in my head

I caught my breath because I made it back

Just barely stayed upon the narrow track

But deep inside, a shadow starts to grow

The next one’s coming... I already know

Before the fear could even take its hold

A vision of a face, brave and bold

Someone left behind, someone in the rain

That’s the only thing that’s driving my brain

No "justice" here, no reason to explain!

I just have to stop the cycle of the pain!

I felt it in my bones, I had to take a stand

I didn't choose this power in my hand

But I couldn’t just look away anymore!

The answer that I chose is mine to keep

Walking a path that’s dangerous and steep

To keep the smile upon your face so bright

I won’t let them take it into the night

That’s the strength I found within the fight!

The more I wish for a life that’s plain and "real"

The more the distance is all that I can feel

I know there’s no returning to the start

But I can’t stop this fire in my heart

To keep your smile, to keep you safe and warm

I have to shield this city from the storm

Every street, every shadow in the night

I’ll protect them all with all of my might

I didn't choose to be the one they see

But I’ve glimpsed a future that wasn’t meant to be

A world of loss I couldn't just ignore

That’s the answer I was looking for!

I lose the "who" and "why" inside the grey

But the armor answers when I lead the way

Your familiar face, and the strangers too

Standing in the night, just like I do

I’m not alone, I see it clearly now

The circle’s growing, and I make this vow

With every life I’m holding in my chest

I’ll keep on walking, I will never rest

No turning back... I know it's true

But even so... even so...!

One step forward! – No matter where it leads

I don’t care! – If my spirit bleeds

I’ll never let the story reach the end

I’ve got a world to save and to defend!

To keep you in this world, to see you live

I’ll give everything I have to give

Wrapped in this armor, I’ll take my stand

This is the road I chose with my own hand!

Not for the world, not for some grand design

But for the soul whose life is linked to mine

I won't let them face the terror I’ve seen

I’ll be the wall, the space in between!

I’m still here

Without a name to call my own

Walking on

Into the unknown

I’ll see you tomorrow

Somewhere in the light

I won’t let them steal your smile

...Not tonight
