lyrics
I hide downtown with clenched fists,
Parade bells ring time to begin,
Every glance sparks of danger,
The damning gaze of anger,
Marching past the mob and past the fear,
A moment of silence for those who've dared to fly,
Frozen hands clasp as cold air and wings collide,
Guided by hope that two lovers won't ignite, 4,3,2,1,
Fire your guns, they won't stop what we've begun tonight,
I never chose to fight this war,
And never wanted any more,
Than to shed these velvet bindings,
The deafening roar of silence,
The weight of something concrete let off my back
Smashing through the streets,
Parading till defeat,
Vilified and laser beamed,
Into your room,
Regardless what you see,
Amongst the chaos on the screen,
It's only love that we defend,
And if this is how it ends... then
Like those who've flown before,
We'll keep demanding more,
Tonight, tonight, tonight, 4,3,2,1,
Fire your guns, they won't stop what we've begun tonight,
Tonight, we've just begun,
Tonight, yeah we've just begun,
Tonight
Parade bells ring time to begin,
Every glance sparks of danger,
The damning gaze of anger,
Marching past the mob and past the fear,
A moment of silence for those who've dared to fly,
Frozen hands clasp as cold air and wings collide,
Guided by hope that two lovers won't ignite, 4,3,2,1,
Fire your guns, they won't stop what we've begun tonight,
I never chose to fight this war,
And never wanted any more,
Than to shed these velvet bindings,
The deafening roar of silence,
The weight of something concrete let off my back
Smashing through the streets,
Parading till defeat,
Vilified and laser beamed,
Into your room,
Regardless what you see,
Amongst the chaos on the screen,
It's only love that we defend,
And if this is how it ends... then
Like those who've flown before,
We'll keep demanding more,
Tonight, tonight, tonight, 4,3,2,1,
Fire your guns, they won't stop what we've begun tonight,
Tonight, we've just begun,
Tonight, yeah we've just begun,
Tonight

One damp day a parade began on the streets of Vancouver. A band of haggard musicians led by Wesley Krauss made their way ... more through the city, ringing bells and telling tales of revolutions, devious lovers, and lost robots. Wesley's signature whine and dine vocals were complimented by the walls of guitars, pianos, and tubular bells orchestrated by the bandsmen. Come behind our Blanket Barricade... less
