Discharger Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
when hope is gone or out of sight
We know our numbers may be small, but we will rise again
They push our backs against the wall, they'll never make us fall
Because in the end we will prevail
Never surrender, we have always been this way
For as long as I can remember, never surrender
We're the minority but we ain't week, we won't turn the other cheek
They will beat us up every one and a while, we'll come back with a smile
We'll make sure that we laugh last, we will complete our quest
We'll show the fire in our hearts
Never surrender, we have always been this way
For as long as I can remember
Never surrender, we have always been this way
For as long as I can remember, never surrender
We'll take a beating if we have to, it's the price we have to pay
Stand up, don't be afraid, Discharger will lead the way
You know we fight against the odds, that's what we won't deny
We won't give in, we'd rather die
Never surrender, we have always been this way
For as long as I can remember
Never surrender, we have always been this way
For as long as I can remember, never surrender
