The Resistance Lyrics


We are descendants of the free
We are the soldiers of the cause
We shouted out the same decree
To hold the truth above the lawThose were the nights to remember
Now they're the nights to forget
We sang from May to September
And we danced while the city sleptI was born a restless soul
I never did what I was told
That old fire rages on
I hope it burns after I'm goneI'm getting tired of the same old thing
It only takes one soul to make a change
It takes two young hearts to make it beat again
Three long nights and you're on the mendLiving, loving, swinging, ducking
We might fail but we have to try
I poked my finger in the public eyeThose were the nights to remember
Now they're the nights to forget
We sang from May to September
And we danced while the city sleptWe are the only chance

This is our resistance
And if we fail then we all know
How it goes, it goes
How it goes, it goesI navigate the mines we lay
And I'm comin' home but not todayI fought my way through the hungry mob
The mayor and his henchmen on the job
We faced-off like it was high noon
We both let fly and our aim was true, yeahThose were the nights to remember
Now they're the nights to forget
We sang from May to September
And we danced while the city sleptThose were the nights to remember
Now they're the nights to forget
We sang from May to September
And we danced while the city sleptSo even if you can't see it, you can still believe in it
It's easier if you lost all the things that prevent you from feeling it
In the evening sun when the earth and sky are one
We all come undone and remember where we came fromSo even if you can't see it, you can still believe in it
It's easier if you lost all the things that prevent you from feeling it
In the evening sun when the earth and sky are one
We all come undone and remember where we came from

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Sam Roberts is a Canadian rock singer-songwriter, based in Montreal, Quebec. His 2001 debut release, The Inhuman Condition became one of the bestselling independent releases in Quebec and Canadian music history.

Born in Pointe-Claire, Quebec, he attended Loyola High School and McGill University. Roberts formed the band William in 1993. The band's name was changed to Northstar in 1996. Although the band gained some notice in independent rock circles, they couldn't break through to a national audience, and broke up in the late 1990s. Roberts' bandmate George Donoso went on to significant success in indie rock circles with The Dears, but Roberts struggled for several years afterward.

In 2000 Roberts began his solo career by independently releasing his first studio album, Brother Down. The album was largely unsuccessful but the title track would later go on to be re-recorded and re-released on a six-song EP titled The Inhuman Condition. The EP sold slowly at first, but by the summer of 2002 Roberts was all over the Canadian airwaves: his first single "Brother Down" had become one of the biggest Canadian hits of the year, and the follow up single "Don't Walk Away Eileen" quickly followed suit.

Roberts then signed to Universal Music, releasing his full-length debut, We Were Born In A Flame, in 2003. That album's singles, "Where Have All the Good People Gone?", "Hard Road", "Brother Down" and "Don't Walk Away Eileen", became major hits, especially in Canada.

The band's album Chemical City, produced with Joseph Donovan and released on April 11, 2006, got major radio play in Canada after its release, especially the single "The Gate".

The band's latest release, the album Love at the End of the World (May 20, 2008), included the song "Them Kids", which reached #1 on the Canadian indie chart (the R3-30), and also #1 on CFNY's Thursday 30 chart.
