Warriors
Imagine Dragons/Musicfire.in Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

As a child you would wait
And watch from far away
But you always knew that you'd be the one
That work while they all play

In youth you'd lay
Awake at night and scheme
Of all the things that you would change
But it was just a dream!

Here we are, don't turn away now,
We are the warriors that built this town
Here we are, don't turn away now
We are the warriors that built this town
From dust.

Will come
When you'll have to rise
Above the best and prove yourself
Your spirit never dies!

Farewell, I've gone to take my throne above
But don't weep for me
'Cause this will be
The labor of my love

Here we are, don't turn away now
We are the warriors that built this town
Here we are, don't turn away now,
We are the warriors that built this town
From dust.

Here we are, don't turn away now
We are the warriors that built this town
Here we are, don't turn away now




We are the warriors that built this town
From dust

Closer Look

Lyrics: With our backs to the wall
The darkness will fall
We never quite thought
We could lose it all
Ready aim fire
Ready aim fire
An empire is falling
In just one day
You close your eyes
And the glory fades
Ready aim fire
Ready aim fire away
Ready aim fire
Ready aim fire away
Off in the distance
There is resistance
Bubbling up and festering
Hey mr motion
Make me a potion
Shake it all up
With your mistery
How come I've never seen
Your face around here
I know every single face
Around here
A man on a mission
Changing the vision
I was never welcome here
We don't have the choice to stay
We'd rather die than
Do it your way
With our backs to the wall
The darkness will fall
We never quite thought
We could lose it all
Ready aim fire
Ready aim fire
An empire is falling
In just one day
You close your eyes
And the glory fades
Ready aim fire
Ready aim fire away
Ready aim fire
Ready aim fire away
Checking the casing
Shaking and pacing
This is the tunnels life
Blood in the writting
Stuck in the fighting
Look through the riffle's sight
How come I've never seen
Your face around here
I know every single face
Around here
Hearing the echo
Holding the shackle
I was never welcome here
We don't have the choice to stay
We'd rather die than
Do it your way
With our backs to the wall
The darkness will fall
We never quite thought
We could lose it all
Ready aim fire
Ready aim fire
An empire is falling
In just one day
You close your eyes
And the glory fades
Ready aim fire
Ready aim fire away
Ready aim fire
Ready aim fire away
Oh
Oh oh
Oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh
Oh
With our backs to the wall
The darkness will fall
We never quite thought
We could lose it all
Ready aim fire
Ready aim fire
An empire is falling
In just one day
You close your eyes
And the glory fades
Ready aim fire
Ready aim fire away
Ready aim fire
Ready aim fire away

Lyrics:

With our backs to the wall, the darkness will fall
We never quite thought we could lose it all
Ready aim fire, ready aim fire
An empire is falling in just one day
You close your eyes and the glory fades
Ready aim fire, ready aim fire away (FIRE)
Ready aim fire, ready aim fire away

Off in the distance there is resistance
Bubbling up and festering
Hey Mr. motion make me a potion
Shake it all up with your mystery
How come I've never seen your face 'round here?
I know every single face 'round here
A man on a mission changing the vision
I was never welcome here
We don't have the choice to stay
We'd rather die than do it your way

With our backs to the wall the darkness will fall
We never quite thought we could lose it all
Ready aim fire, ready aim fire
An empire is falling in just one day
You close your eyes and the glory fades
Ready aim fire, ready aim fire away (FIRE)
Ready aim fire, ready aim fire away

Checking the casing, shaking and pacing
This is the tunnels life
Blood in the writing stuck in the fighting
Look through the riffle's sight
How come I've never seen your face 'round here?
I know every single face 'round here
Hearing the echo, holding the shackle
I was never welcome here
We don't have the choice to stay
We'd rather die than do it your way

With our backs to the wall the darkness will fall
We never quite thought we could lose it all
Ready aim fire, ready aim fire
An empire is falling in just one day
You close your eyes and the glory fades
Ready aim fire, ready aim fire away
Ready aim fire, ready aim fire away

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

With our backs to the wall the darkness will fall
We never quite thought we could lose it all
Ready aim fire, ready aim fire
An empire is falling in just one day
You close your eyes and the glory fades
Ready aim fire, ready aim fire away
Ready aim fire, ready aim fire away
