Letra da Música Light Up The Light de The Protomen

This city's sleeping like a soldier
Trapped inside of an iron lung
Machines can keep you breathing
But what happens when you find a new war's begun?
Flip a switch and turn it off, you won't be able to
Breathe
So either way you're a casualty

I've got this burning like my veins are filled
With nothing but gasoline
And with a spark
It's gonna be the biggest fire they've ever seen
Cut me down or let me run
Either way it's all gonna burn
The only way that they'll ever learn

We've got to turn it off

Flip a switch

Light up the night!

There is a city that this darkness can't hide
There are the embers of a fire that's gone out
But I can still feel the heat on my skin
This mess we're in, well you and I
Maybe you and I
We can still make it right

Maybe we can bring back the light

At the heart of the city there is a building that looks
Down over all there is
And the man in the tower controls it all without
Raising a single fist
It's like they gathered up the city, they sold it to
The devil, and now
It's gone to hell and they wonder how

Well, a friend once told me
Men, they would follow any man who would turn the
Wheels
Now the wheels are spinning out of control; what would
They do if we held them still?
If you destroy the working parts, what you'll get is a
Broken machine
A beacon of light from a burning screen

Light it up
Light up the night

There is a city that this darkness can't hide
There are the embers of a fire that's gone out
But I can still feel the heat on my skin
This mess we're in, well you and I

Maybe you and I
We can light up the night

[they made their plans carefully. spending hours on the
Details. if joe could reach the main telescreen on top
Of the tower in the center of the city - wily's tower
He could take out the central transmitter. he could
Stop the broadcasts going out to the satellite screens
He could stop the broadcasts going out to the machines
He could take out albert's eyes

With wily blinded, light could reenter the city
Undetected. he could complete the task that he had
Obsessed over for more than twenty years. he could kill
Albert wily. a prisoner caged on the edge of the city
This was light's chance. his chance not only at
Freedom, but to exact revenge. to kill his judge, his
Warden, and the man who'd built his prison. to destroy
The man who'd taken everything from him - his life's
Work, his name, his love.]

There is a city that this darkness can't hide
There are the embers of a fire that's gone out
But I can still feel the heat on my skin
This mess we're in, well you and I
Maybe you and I
We can light up the night

There is a city that this darkness can't hide
There is a fire that will burn through the streets of
The city, and we will stand in the light
We will stand in the light
You and I
You and I
We can bring back the light
