lyrics

I’ve been around this town for all of my life
I remember the way it was when I was a child
So many people who called it home where will they go?
Now were watching it all burn down in front of our eyes

We didn’t know which way to turn when the lightning came
That was the moment that we learned nothing would be the same

There were lights in the sky that night
Then everything changed
I've never seen something burn so bright
Yet cause so much pain
There were tears in their eyes that night
But they can’t look away
A million voices that all cried out
We’ll never hear them again
And then lights went out

I didn't know this place
When the morning came
Everything that I've ever known
Suddenly changed

So many people had lost their homes or lost their lives
Now we're headed to God knows where
To stand up and fight

I didn't know which way to turn
When the fighting came
That was the moment that we learned
Nothing would be the same

There were lights in the sky that night
Then everything changed
I've never seen something burn so bright
Yet cause so much pain
There were tears in their eyes that night
But they can’t look away
A million voices that all cried out
We’ll never hear them again
And then lights went out

I didn’t notice
When the warning came
All the buildings were burning
They’d been caught up in the flames

There were people all around me
They had nowhere else to go
They were standing in the ashes
Of the place they once called home

There was fire in the skies
And hell upon the ground
There was fear and confusion
They were frozen by the sound

There were bodies on the pavement
A mother and a child
So much pain and destruction
Can someone tell me why?

UNICORN
by GUNSHIP

supported by 4 fans who also own “Lights”

Gunship leans hard into the DRAMA of the synthwave genre, which is really what it's all about. It's burn... intensity, kinetic energy, triumph and tragedy. The arrangements rise and fall, and the textures weave everything together into a ride you just need to get on, throw up your arms, let the wind blow back your hair, and enjoy. Peace Mob
