about

The debut single from theatrical post-hardcore band Once Upon a Flatline

lyrics

In our graves we do reside
forgetting everything about our lives

(Like seconds, years pass right before our eyes)
They have broken us,
taken our rights
(The heaven above has turned a blind eye)

Long given up on finding strength inside
somewhere still, a flag waves on

Whether or not,
the world is listening
we are the People and we will sing
Each one of us has a reason why we fight
the darkest night will end and hope will become our light

(In this den of regret the air smells of damaged flesh)
So many souls who long to forget
(These docks have seen evil, its cold and it's cruel)
This life will steal the pride from you

Long given up on finding strength inside
somewhere still, a flag waves on

Whether or not,
the world is listening
we are the People and we will sing
Each one of us has a reason why we fight
the darkest night will end and hope will become our light

(This barricade won't fall, fall tonight we'll fight through the rain in the name of freedom, every mans' birthright.
Bullets piercing as we lose the fight,
my brothers dying beside me I hear their desperate cries.
God just tell me why
Why
Why
Why
WHY)

Whether or not,
the world is listening
we are the People and we will sing
Each one of us has a reason why we fight
the darkest night will end and hope will become our light

Whether or not,
the world is listening
we are the People and we will sing
Each one of us has a reason why we fight
the darkest night will end and hope will become our light

(Did you see them lying side by side?)

Once Upon a Flatline Buffalo, New York

A six piece concept driven rock and roll band. Fun, fast and dressed head-to-toe in black.

All stories have different beginnings but all end the same way...with Death. Or is that where the true story begins? With a Flatline. ... more
