about

For all the lone voices that get shouted down by the crowd. The people who stick their head above the parapet. A hand on the shoulder of everyone who stands their ground. An energetic chunk of 'Modern Rock' that chimes like a Permanent Wave anthem.

lyrics

You stood your ground against the tide
And sifted through the debris
It's crazy what you found

When no-one else was by your side
You stood alone
The only lantern in the dark

Oh, this could be our last chance
Let's go on the run
You could be the holster
I could be the gun
I could be your gun
The only lantern in the dark

This could be our last chance
Let's go on the run
You could be the holster
I could be your gun
History's a movie
Fiction is the truth
Let's escape this zoo
The only lantern in the dark
