Lyrics: The Protomen. The Will Of One.

I've seen this city a thousand times
From the glass twenty stories high, and I've watched this city burn
If everything that you've said is true, then there's no hope that someday they will learn
But if I stay here with you
Then I will never know the truth

Do not say this is how it has to be

As I walk through the city streets, and the people watching me pass
There is an evil that holds them here, but they won't try breaking its grasp
But if I stay here with you
Then I will leave them to their doom

Do not say this is how it has to be
You do know better than the fools of this burning city

Even here it is not safe
Even this screen has been defaced
Someone has written on this stone
In some angry hand
Hope rides alone
Hope rides alone
Hope rides alone

Do not say this is how it has to be
You do know better than the fools of this burning city
But as I live, there is no evil that will stand (We have control)
And I will finish what was started by Proto Man (We keep you safe - we are your hope)

(We have control - we keep you safe - we are your hope)
(We have control - we keep you safe - we are your hope)
(We have control - we keep you safe - we are your hope)
