Light Up The Night

This city's sleeping like a soldier trapped inside of an iron lung
 Machines can keep you breathing
 But what happens when you find a new war's begun?
 Flip a switch and turn it off; you won't be able to breathe
 So either way you're a casualty
 I've got this burning like my veins are filled with nothing but gasoline
 And with a spark it's gonna be the biggest fire they've ever seen
 Cut me down or let me run– either way it's all gonna burn
 The only way that they'll ever learn
 We've got to turn it off
 Flip a switch
 Light up the night!
 There is a city that this darkness can't hide
 There are the embers of a fire that's gone out
 But I can still feel the heat on my skin
 And this mess we're in, well you and I
 Maybe you and I
 We can still make it right
 Maybe we can bring back the light
 At the heart of the city there is a building that looks down over all there is
 And the man in the tower controls it all without raising a single fist
 It's like they gathered up the city, they sold it to the devil, and now
 It's gone to hell and they wonder how
 Well, a friend once told me men, they would follow any man who would turn the wheels
 Now the wheels are spinning out of control
 What would they do if we held them still?
 If you destroy the working parts, what you'll get is a broken machine
 A beacon of light from a burning screen
 Light it up
 Light up the night!
 There is a city that this darkness can't hide
 There are the embers of a fire that's gone out
 But I can still feel the heat on my skin
 And this mess we're in, well you and I
 Maybe you and I
 We can light up the night
 We can light up the night
 There is a city that this darkness can't hide
 There are the embers of a fire that's gone out
 But I can still feel the heat on my skin
 And this mess we're in, well you and I
 Maybe you and I
 We can light up the night
 There is a city that this darkness can't hide
 There is a fire that will burn through the streets of the city
 And we will stand in the light, we will stand in the light
 You and I
 Maybe you and I
 Can bring back the light!
 There is a city that this darkness can't hide
 There is a fire that will burn through the streets of the city
 And we will stand in the light, we will stand in the light
 You and I
 You and I
 We'll bring back the light
