Lionhearted
Porter Robinson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
So promise me that
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
So 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
So promise me that, they'll fall
We'll finish what we started
We'll be the lionhearted
They broke the walls we guarded
But we don't care about it
We'll finish what we started
We'll be the lionhearted
They broke the walls we guarded
So promise me that
They broke the walls we guarded
But we don't care about it
We'll finish what we started
So promise me they'll fall
