Start A Riot
Banners Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I will march down an empty street like a ship into the storm
No surrender, no retreat
I will tear down every wall
Just to keep you warm
Just to bring you home
I will burn this city down for a diamond in the dust
I will keep you safe and sound when there's no one left to trust
Will you take my hand?
We can make our stand

If your world falls apart
I'd start a riot
If night falls in your heart
I'd light the fire
In the dark, when you sound the alarm
We'll find each other's arms
For your love, all you are
I'd start a riot

I will wade through the fire and smoke like sunlight through the haze
I will fight till the flag waves white until my dying days
Through the bombs and blasts
We will take it back

If your world falls apart
I'd start a riot
If night falls in your heart
I'd light the fire
In the dark, when you sound the alarm
We'll find each other's arms
For your love, all you are
I'd start a riot

I'd start, I'd start a riot
I'd start, I'd start a riot
I'd start, I'd start a riot
I'd start, I'd start a riot

Ooh, ooh





If your world falls apart
I'd start a riot

Hey daddy,
I hope you are safe up there.
I just started at my new school.
One of your last wishes was to see nee graduate, im sorry thatā€™s not possible.
But do not worry hero, I will hold my diploma up for you so you can see I did it!
I miss you every second of the day.
And I hope you are proud of me.
I miss taking care of you when you were so sick at the end that you couldnā€™t do it on your own.
We fought till the end of your sickness.
You were and youā€™ll always be my hero, buddy and my star shining upon me when I need some light.
I love you daddy šŸ˜“
