United
Eclipse Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There are pains we gotta follow
There are pains we can't outrun
When we're looking down the barrel of a gun
Be the hunter or the hunted
Be the predator or prey
Make some noise and let the world hear what we say

'Cause we are one!
'Cause we are one!

Can be saints, can be sinners
Can be losers, can be winners
We are one! Yeah, we are one!

We stand united
We fight until the end
We never stop, never break, never bend
We stand united
Together rise and fall
'Cause it's all for one, one for all
Yeah, it's all for one, one for all!

It is not about surviving
Either living or your dying
Stand your ground and never ever be afraid
We can choose to make a difference
We can choose to walk away
There's a choice we make between love and hate

'Cause we are one!
'Cause we are one!

So break your chains, stake your ground
Make some noise and gather 'round
'Cause we are one
Yeah, we are one

We stand united
We fight until the end
We never stop, never break, never bend
We stand united
Together rise and fall




'Cause it's all for one, one for all
Yeah, it's all for one, one for all!
