Lyrics

The Dissident

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

And it's not that I'm afraid to die

I stand up for my own

There is something that I can't deny

Deep within my soul

Don't believe at all

In what we're fighting for

And I can see that we were wrong

And though the bombs

Keep falling in the dead

Of the night

I'm singing

I guess I've never stop believing that love

Can survive

I'm singing

Father said

It's time to be a man

To serve for what you've known

But my father does not understand

My conscience won't let go

Don't believe at all

In what we're fighting for

Now I can see that we were wrong

And though the bombs

Keep falling in the dead of the night

I'm singing

I guess I've never stop

Believing that love's still alive

I'm singing

Wanna turn away

Wanna turn and walk away

And just leave it all

Cause it's not my place

No it's not our place to stay

And though the bombs keep falling

In the dead of the night

I'm singing

I guess I've never stop believing

That love can survive

I'm singing

And though the bombs keep falling

In the dead of the night

I'm singing

I guess I've never stop believing

That love's still alive

I'm singing

I'm not afraid to die

I stand for my own

But I can't deny

That we are so wrong
