The banners on the tower don't wave anymore
I used to think they'd fly there forever
Now I'm standing in the courtyard
With a hammer in my hand
Wondering when I stopped believing
Maybe nothing lasts
Maybe that's alright
We can tear it down
Start over tonight
Long live the walls we're tearing down
Long live the walls we're tearing down
Long live the walls we're tearing down
Long live the walls we're tearing down
We painted our own flags in colors bold and bright
We promised we would never surrender
But every revolution eats its own eventually
And I'm the one who lit the fire
Maybe nothing lasts
Maybe that's alright
We can tear it down
Start over tonight
Long live the walls we're tearing down
Long live the walls we're tearing down
Long live the walls we're tearing down
Long live the walls we're tearing down
I know what we built here mattered
I know it kept us safe somehow
But the gates won't open anymore
And we've grown too big for this place now
Long live the walls we're tearing down
Long live the walls we're tearing down
(Long live, long live)
Long live the walls we're tearing down
Long live the walls we're tearing down
(Long live, long live)
Long live the walls we're tearing down
Long live
