You think that we have been beaten,
Torn and broken
Skin peeled back,
Fire awoken.
You think we have no hope,
Blood freely flowing
Bathing in our fear,
Soaking in our torment.
We have none of those,
For we have hearts of steel,
For we have tears like acid that will burn through you.
We have hope,
We have faith,
We are strong,
We are warriors,
We built this city,
We will not let it fall.
We will keep calm,
We will carry on.

You think that we have been beaten,
Torn and broken
Skin peeled back,
Fire awoken.
You think we have no hope,
Blood freely flowing
Bathing in our fear,
Soaking in our torment.
We have none of those,
For we have hearts of steel,
For we have tears like acid that will burn through you.
We have hope,
We have faith,
We are strong,
We are warriors,
We built this city,
We will not let it fall.
We will keep calm,
We will carry on.
