    LYRICS: (By The Protomen)
    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
    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.
    Together:
    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.
    This mess we're in, well you and I,
    maybe you and I,
    We can light up the night.
    Together:
    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.
    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.
    You and I.
    We can bring back the light.

      Hey, super late to the party, but... It's not a terrorist act. By definition, a terrorist act was is intended to inspire terror and fear. In the context of the story, this was meant to spark a revolution, to inspire people to resist and fight for their city.

    This song makes me feel like I'm the last Survivor after Europe had been terribly Poisoned, and my only companion on my long Journey to cross the river Styx to find The Cure was my Def Leppard companion (who was ironically a White Lion). But since witnessing the Slaughter that ensued after the Quiet Riot, he has only been able to speak in Bad English, because his Steelheart had been Rough Cutt by too many Trixters. But, Kingdom Come, I will continue to search for the Night Ranger to lead us past the Extreme barriers, even if I have to Winger it.
