There it is, the top of the Wonder Wheel
The Warriors are here
Home alive
We made it home alive
It's been a long fight just to see the ocean
I've never seen the ocean
The Warriors are here
Home alive, we made it home alive
But we didn't all make it
Can't stop thinkin' about them-
What are we gon' do?
And how do we carry on without them?
What are we gon' do?
Anyone sick of runnin'?
Ajax
The wild one
The fighter
The survivor
The toughest
The one you want in your corner
"F*ck around-"
"-Find out"
Fox
The quiet one
The stunner
So shy-
Until she wasn't
That's right!
So brave-
Spoke truth to power-
In our darkest hour
Cleon!
Our leader
Who dreamed of something sweeter
She believed-
We believed-
In Cyrus
And if Cyrus were alive, we'd be home free
I gotta be free
And without them here beside us-
Stay with me
-Who are we?
I gotta be free
Well, Mercy, you're a Warrior now
She is?
She is?
I am?
You're in our corner
She is
I guess
But I want more than the corner
Mercy
Warriors, look alive
C'mon c'mon
There's a hearse comin' up the avenue
Warriors, come out to play-ay
Warriors, come out to play-ay
Warriors, come out to play-ay
Warriors! Come out to play-ay!
Stay behind me
I'ma lead 'em to the beach
Beyond the boardwalk
So we're just out of reach
Stay behind me
Let him find me
What took you so long?
We're impatient but glad that we waited
Yep
Wow, you sure are strong
But it looks like just half of you made it
Yep
So let's see who survives
Here on your hometown boardwalk
Pow, all out of quarters, no more extra lives
I am the ghost and I've hunted you
Stop
Who the f*ck are you and why are you here?
Don't you know?
We're the Warriors
Mess around in Coney, you might disappear-
Here we go
Girls, you're gonna die
Don't you know I killed Cyrus?
Why?
No reason!
I like doing stuff like that!
Shoot the queen!
Blame the girls!
Ride around, watch the world burn!
No emotion
Just a race to the ocean, watch the world burn
See this gun?
Better yet, see me squeeze this gun!
Woah, woah, stop, stop, stop
One on one
What?
Drop the gun-
-Or you're chicken!
Ha! You're crazy, you're dead!
Sand in your eye!
Ow!
Punch in your gut!
You missed me! And what?
Gun in the sand!
Get off me!
There's something you still don't understand
And no one is coming to lend you a hand!
Nope!
No one is coming to lend you a hand
Run, run, run, run, run!
Sand in your eye
Hate in your heart
You only know how to break shit apart
Your crew is scared of you
See how it scatters
My crew would die for me
Loyalty matters
We're the Warriors (what!)
And our story is (what!)
In our loyalty that's where the glory is (what!)
Not in blowing it up but in holding it down
Now
You're going down
You're going down
Yeah, right!
And beautiful and black against the white sand and sky
It's the Gramercy Riffs, standin' by
And beautiful and black against the white sand and sky
It's the Gramercy Riffs, standin' by
Yeah, hi
It's Masai
'Gainst this white sand and sky
The right hand of Cyrus, 'til right when she died
Then the night filled with cries, horrors, frights, and surprise
And true martyrs, they don't die, but it's so hard to say goodbye
How to honor her persona, wouldn't she want us to try
To pull the truth into the light
F*ck the truce 'n' do what's right
So the troops been on the loose to find where Lucifer hides
Oh, Luther
Scoop him up, you guys
No, no, it was the Warriors!
Yeah, right
It wasn't us, it was them (it wasn't us, it was them)
It wasn't us, it was them!
Yeah, right
You Warriors are good
Real good
The best
Cleon-
Oh shit-
Cleon-
Cleon?
Cleon
My Warriors are here
Where's Fox?
The cops
And Ajax?
The cops
Damn
And you?
Call me Mercy
She's a Warrior
Done
Cleon, how are you-
Home alive? You made it home alive
I don't know how I made it
I don't know why I'm still alive and some of us gone
I don't think I'm special
Cyrus was special, how does she live on?
I know this is our corner
How do we go on?
And even though I'm home, I've got a knot in my chest
That I can't untangle
How do we go on?
I try to find an angle, try to do my best
I know
When I am with you
I know when I am with you
The trouble in the world's a little easier to face
I know I can continue
When I am with you
It's all our turf
This is the sound of something being born
Someday in the city, we'll be ready for more
We'll wander through the city without goin' to war
We're dancin' on the corners we were battling for (Coney Island)
When we all come home alive
This is the sound of something being born
Someday in the city, we won't have to run (far beyond the city)
Each time a broken person gets ahold of a gun
Breathe easy every night knowing we'll see the sun (the city)
When we all come home alive
This is the sound of something being born
Someday in the city our music will play
We'll wander through the city as light as the day
And the world will know the Warriors are making our way
When we all come home alive (when we all come home)
When we all come home alive (when we all come home)
When we all come home alive
Ah-she-ca! Ah-ah-she-ca! (Yeah)
Ah-she-ca! Ah-ah-she-ca! (Huh)
Ah-she-ca! Ah-ah-she-ca! (Hey)
Warriors, Warriors
This is the sound of something being born
