i have met many beings billy, telling me i cant do what they do, i am weak, pathetic compared to them etc etc etc. tortured and abused by these tyrants, i was just as they told me i was. i did not give up. every step of my way out they were there to stop me, block me, and hurt me. i bled and i cried, and i fought, and i lost many times. i did not give up. i knew i would win. my spirit will be victorious. i deadened their words, and blackened their actions, and flew straight through them. no longer could they tell me and succeed in telling me the way things are, were, or will be. i defied their every word and action, their every command until they were forced to ask me what's next? my spirit prevailed and now is set to succeed, to win, to find, to move. there was no better teacher for me then these tyrants. i learned that i could seek any answer, any truth, any way, and succeed in that way against ALL opposition. "Long Live"
I said remember this moment in the back of my mindThe time we stood with our shaking handsThe crowds in stands went wildWe were the Kings and the QueensAnd they read off our names
The night you danced like you knew our lives
Would never be the same
You held your head like a hero
On a history book page
It was the end of a decade
But the start of an age

Long live the walls we crashed through
How the kingdom lights shined just for me and you
I was screaming long live all the magic we made
And bring on all the pretenders
One day, we will be remembered

I said remember this feeling
I pass the pictures around
Of all the years that we stood there
On the side-lines wishing for right now
We are the Kings and the Queens
You traded your baseball cap for a crown
When they gave us our trophies
And we held them up for our town
And the cynics were outraged
Screaming, "This is absurd!"
Cause for a moment a band of thieves
In ripped up jeans got to rule the world

Long live the walls we crashed through
How the kingdom lights shined just for me and you
I was screaming long live all the magic we made
And bring on all the pretenders
I'm not afraid
Long live all the mountains we moved
I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you
I was screaming long live that look on your face
And bring on all the pretenders
One day, we will be remembered

Hold on to spinning around
Confetti falls to the ground
May these memories break our fall

Will you take a moment, promise me this
That you'll stand by me forever
But if God forbid fate should step in
And force us into a goodbye
If you have children some day
When they point to the pictures
Please tell them my name
Tell them how the crowds went wild
Tell them how I hope they shine

Long live the walls we crashed through
I had the time of my life, with you
Long, long live the walls we crashed through
How the kingdom lights shined just for me and you
And I was screaming long live all the magic we made
And bring on all the pretenders
I'm not afraid
Singing, long live all the mountains we moved
I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you
And long, long live the look on your face
And bring on all the pretenders
One day, we will be remembered
