Forever After Days - The National

On my feet i stand tonight, stand and step up to the light

an extraordinary man unbroken in the breaking light

forever after days, stand and make myself a crown

to the table i step alone, hold my own above the ground

take my shot under the light, heroes come a common way

pull myself into the sky, wrap me in the banner i made

on my feet i stand tonight, stand alone inside the edge

an extraordinary man, everything starts and holds me there

forever after days, stand and make myself a crown

to the table i step alone, hold my own above the ground

take my shot under the light, heroes come a common way

pull myself into the sky, wrap me in the banner i made
