rather not sing

House of Heroes - Code Name Raven

卜超 制作

Maybe you'll see me on the evening news

Maybe you'll see me with a bag over my head

If that's the case, then I've met my doom

If that's the case, then my comrades are dead

And I don't hate my enemy

I hate the cloud he's brought over my land

There's no virtue in killing a man

Neither is there virtue in being afraid to stand

But I saw the black coats forming lines

They hit our beaches running

We're on our knees but not to pray

You're the only reason I stay

In this coward's melee

I'd rather die than live

Without mercy and love

Sing while the city decays

"We'd rather go up in flames"

Lest we betray the names

Of dignity and love

You can't change the course of fates sealed long ago

But hope is not lost, "Code name corbeau!"

We trade their secrets at cost for our lives

The panzer is strong, the raven is wise

I turn my ears to the BBC

I can hear them, they can't hear me

I long to forget all the horrors I've seen

I'll live like a ghost, I'll die with the free

Traitors and turncoats turned aside

Traitors' loose lips sink shhh...

They're on their knees, but just to beg

You're the only reason I stay

In this coward's melee

I'd rather die than live

Without mercy and love

Sing while the city decays

"We'd rather go up in flames"

Lest we betray the names

Of dignity and love

Inside the fuselage

Valiant young soldiers singing songs

"Fear not my downcast brothers

We are the strong-arm of the law

By land and air and sea

On wings of destiny we ride"

Sing while the city decays

Sing while we go up in flames

You're the only reason I stay

In this coward's melee

I'd rather die than live

Without mercy and love

Sing while the city decays

"We'd rather go up in flames"

Lest we betray the names

Of dignity and love

I'm on your side until my body drains of blood
