Lyrics

Resistance

Is our secret safe tonight? And are we out of sight? Or will our world come tumbling down? Will they find our hiding place? Is this our last embrace? Or will the walls start caving in?

It could be wrong, could be wrong, but it should have been right It could be wrong, could be wrong, to let our hearts ignite It could be wrong, could be wrong, are we digging a hole? It could be wrong, could be wrong, this is out of control

It could be wrong, could be wrong, it can never last It could be wrong, could be wrong, must erase it fast It could be wrong, could be wrong, but it could have been right It could be wrong, could be

Love is our resistance They'll keep us apart, and they won't stop breaking us down Hold me Our lips must always be sealed

If we live a life in fear I'll wait a thousand years Just to see you smile again Kill your prayers for love and peace You'll wake the thought police We can't hide the truth inside

It could be wrong, could be wrong, but it should have been right It could be wrong, could be wrong, to let our hearts ignite It could be wrong, could be wrong, are we digging a hole? It could be wrong, could be wrong, this is out of control

It could be wrong, could be wrong, it can never last It could be wrong, could be wrong, must erase it fast It could be wrong, could be wrong, but it could have been right It could be wrong, could be

Love is our resistance They'll keep us apart, and they won't stop breaking us down Hold me Our lips must always be sealed

The night has reached its end We can't pretend We must run We must run It's time to run Take us away from here Protect us from further harm Resistance
